Chapter 1 Annabeth's pov


I was walking over to my friend Thalia's house Where Luke and her were supposed to be. My phone started to ring and I got ityour and it said (Annabeth=italics, Thalia=bolwhat what do you want?

I was going to tell you I'm going to the store

k see ya

see ya later

I walked another two blocks and saw Thalia and her dad left to go to the grocery store to pick up snacks for our movie night.

I found the key in the flower pot and unlocked the door. One thing about Thalia's dads house is it had statues of him everywhere and he had lightning bolt stairs where the steps were shaped out of lightning bolts, he had a grayish-bluish scepter shaped out of a cylinder and shotlayers the shape of lighting bolts.

I walked up the stairs to the movie room and didn't see Luke then I went to Thalia's room Luke wasn't there, I went to study and screamed. In the floor lie Luke with cuts on his wrist a wound on his armpit and a knife thrust through his heart.

I backed away and I ran outside taking a couple detours to throw up and finally got outside. I grabbed my phone called the cops and told them what had happened through stuttering breaths.

They said they'd bring the cops right away. After five minutes Thalia and her dad pulled up the cops right behind them Thalia ran over tomore and asked me what happened. She looked at me and tears ran down her face.

WHY! She cried and shook her fist at the sky. The cops walked into the house and did everything cops 's dad told me to go home and he drove me there. I walked through the door and mom asked me if that as me. Yes I answered back. She came through the kitchen door and looked at my tear stained face. What's the matter honey? she asked. Luke died will everyone stop asking. She looked at me sympathy in her eyes.
