Hai! Number three! A PJO friendship! 13 Annabeth, and Percy! Set after the end of The Sea Of Monsters...
It's nice to have a friend who's not a goat, I thought. No offence to Grover, but Annabeth is a great fighter, and she wont gut me into strips if she had the chance. CLANG! CLASH! CLING! The sound of metal hitting metal sounded through the arena. It wasn't easy, holding you own against Annabeth, She was a very good fighter. I guess, five years of training paid off.
Finally, I managed to disarm her. "I win." I panted, making my way over to the cooler. I pulled out two waters, handing one to Annabeth. She accepted it gladly. "Thanks." We sat down. "How's Thalia doing?" I asked her. Her face hardened. "I had to tell her about Luke..." She said. I looked at her sympathetically. She had looked up to Luke since she was Seven, Thalia had known him even longer. Even though she had been a tree for most of it... But still...
"How did she handle it?" The daughter of Zeus had been in a fragile state ever since she had come out of the tree. "She... She didn't believe me at first," She confessed. "But when she realized I was telling the truth... She got pissed." I looked at Annabeth, she looked near tears. "It's okay Annabeth." I stated firmly. Luke was going to pay, he had to. "Of course it's okay!" She glared at me. "I'm not a helpless Aphrodite girl!" I held up my hand's in surrender. She sighed deeply "Who am I kidding?"
I put my arm around her neck, and hugged her. (A/N HUGGLE!) She hugged me back. "I-I-I just feel so helpless!" She confessed. "I should have been able to stop Luke!" I turned her so she was facing me. "It is not your fault." I stated firmly. "There was nothing you could have done to prevent this." She looked at me. "You-You're just trying to make me feel better!" She said. I shook my head.
"No I'm not." I told her firmly. "You couldn't have done anything." And I meant it. I knew that she couldn't have done anything. she sighed again, finally beginning to believe me. She hugged me again. "Thank you, Percy." She said. "Anytime." I told her, smiling. We got up, and started sparring again. she won most of the time, I just wasn't very good compared to her. I was also distracted. What was this feeling I was feeling? What could it be?
