BY SUGGESTION OF/BY 'the big NOBODY'(THANKS!)

ANNABETH POV:

"Listen, Annabeth-"Percy said to me in a way that led me to believe that it was quite hard for him to continue. But just as he seemed ready to finish I heard Argus, a man with eyes on all of his body, honk the horn to the van that was to bring Percy and other camp half blood kids back to their homes. But not to mine, at least not for awhile, I was to stay at camp while Chiron recovered from a leg that he had broken while monsters had attacked from the labyrinths entrance. I looked at Percy to see a look of defeat on his face; he couldn't seem to tell me what he had wanted to now.

"You better get going," I said starting to feel uncomfortable with every passing moment. "Take care Seaweed Brain."

I felt relieved once I started to jog down the hill towards my cabin. I didn't look back once, I just couldn't. I didn't even know why, which is basically a first for this daughter of Athena. Maybe I thought I could leave all my confusion up at the top of the hill where Percy had left, left without me. But I didn't care, right? I still had feelings for Luke, at least I thought so. Since he WAS actually the one who had been in my prophecy.

'And Lose a love to worse than death' the last line of the oracles prophecy rung out inside my mind.

And I had, Luke Castellan was now the legendary…Kronos. He had walked to close to the edge, the edge that fell down to a place where he would never REALLY be able to return from, but instead of fighting that little shove that made him fall he simply smiled and waved as he met the darkness below him. We had no hope, nor should we, of him retuning to the light, and I knew that.

But then why can't I just admit it aloud? I had somehow already reached my cabin without noticing it. I guess all those years of living here day in and day out had helped my feet to be able to guide them selves. I opened the door to Athena's cabin and plopped myself down upon my bed lost in the depths of the spaghetti that was indeed my inner thoughts.

Although my brain was just a jumbled mess around me my cabin just seemed to be a ghost of its past self, empty. There were none of my siblings here to keep me company or to bother me. I couldn't remember feeling this alone and confused ever.

"Man, was this going to be a hard couple of weeks or what?! Well at least once I leave camp I'll have some private school to take my mind off this stuff." I thought as I lay back onto my bed starring at the bunk above me.

But how would this be any different than when I was a little kid?

"Well for starters Luke isn't here" a voice seemed to say from within my head.

"Good riddance-"another voice said within my brain. Then all of a sudden my brain seemed to be at war with itself, well at least in an argument that is.

"What do you mean by 'good riddance'?!"

"Well, we don't need him!"

"But it-its Luke!!"

"Yeah so, why does that change anything? He's STILL evil!"

"But I know if I just talked-"

"No! He's evil! As in NOT GOOD AND NEVER WILL BE AGAIN!!"

"But there IS still hope…"

"Not really, no. And anyway, what about Percy?"

The ping pong game of an argument that had been held in my mind drifted off as soon as it had started, leaving behind something or should I say someone in its place. Percy.

I had known him for how long now? What was it around four years or so? At any rate we were friends, but at times I wasn't sure it seemed…different. Like when we went on our first quest and we had to ride the "Tunnel Of Love" or when we had that dance atop Olympus and when we kissed in Mt. St. Helens.

I could feel my face redden at the mere thought of THAT memory. Was that kiss for good luck? Did he think it was? I didn't even REALLY know… or did I?

"Arrrggghhh!!"I groaned in frustration. This was starting to get really annoying. I had to get my mind off this, but how?

I groggily pulled myself back to a sitting position with a sigh and looked out the window; it already seemed to be around time for dinner. No later had I thought that did the dinner horn blow signaling that I was indeed correct.

INSERT STAR THINGS

I looked up from the food I had barely touched. I didn't FEEL hungry, I only FELT confused, 'oh joy' my subconscious thought as I rolled my eyes.

I glanced up from my plate to look around at the other tables; there were only a hand full of campers at each table who hadn't left. There were three Apollo children, an Ares boy by the name of Josh, two daughters and a son of Aphrodite (one daughter being Selina), four Hermes campers (only one of whom were actually claimed) and then there was me. I was the only one out of all 13 of us that had a place, besides Camp Half Blood, to call a home.

Then before I knew it dinner was over and Chiron told us to return to our cabins for hopefully some restful sleep. I got up and started to walk out with Selina (who was kind of my friend).

But just as we were walking out of the pavilion to go back to our cabins for the night Chiron called me over. I turned to Salina who just said, "Don't worry I'll wait here for you, okay?" I just nodded as I headed over to Chiron.

"Yes Chiron?" I asked expectantly once I had made it to the head table where he was sitting with Dionysus who seemed more bored than usual (which is REALLY saying something…).

"You seem upset about something Annabeth, is there anything I can do?" He asked me in a concerned voice. He had been my father figure pretty much since I had come here when I was seven, 'Of course,' I thought 'he knows when something is on my mind…'

"No, not really sir, thanks for your concern though Chiron." I said trying to smile but I had the feeling I wasn't doing the best job with that.

But I guess Chiron also knew that I wouldn't spill, at least not now. I heard Chiron utter a sigh in defeat and started to say something when he was interrupted by the perpetual drunk man, Dionysus.

"Annabell here is probably just upset her little boyfriend, what's his name?...ah yes Peter Johansson, right?, has left for home while she is still here." Dionysus said with a smirk. Man did this god really get under my skin.

"What! I-I don't-" I stuttered feeling my face turn a deep red. Why did he think I was Percy's girlfriend?! Hmmm…Percy's girlfriend, it had a sort of ring to it, you know?no!snap out of it Annabeth!

But I was hurled back to reality as Chiron said, "Yes, well are you sure you want to stay here for a few more weeks?" he asked, apparently changing the subject to keep me from feeling any more embarrassment. I could sense that he wasn't saying that to make me feel that I should leave but to make sure that I was sure of myself.

"Uhh… well yes Chiron, after all your leg is injured so you'll need help with some things until you heal and I'm happy to help!" I said to the centaur in the wheel chair before me.

"Well, like I said the other day, when you told me of your decision, thank you. What would I do without you?" Chiron said with a smile as he patted my shoulder.

I sensed that I could go now so I turned on my heel and started walking away, but as I was walking away I swear I could hear the voice of Dionysus saying, "Well without her there would be less teenage romance confusion, that's for sure…".

Did you like it? If you did(or didn't) let me know and I'll include(or not include) what you suggest once I start my next chapter.
