Camp Half-blood Before Percy Jackson:
The Arrival of Annabeth and Luke
The Arrival
Annabeth looked back at the pine tree that was one of her only friends, a part of her family. Although she knew it was seconds ago it felt like eternity since Thalia had died on that hill fighting monsters. Annabeth didn't want her to die but she did anyway and she did it in honour, and then became a pine tree. She looked up at Luke, his usual mischievous wasn't there, plastered on his face as usual, his face was expressionless. He was obviously trying hard not to cry, just for Annabeth. He scooped her up in his arms as tears started streaming down her face.
"It'll be alright, we'll be ok," He said but the point that his voice was cracking was not helping his case.
"But she's gone!" Annabeth wailed. A group of people were crowding around them. Annabeth wanted them to go away, to leave Luke and her to themselves. Then Grover trotted over with a man on a horse. Wait a second... as the man on the horse got closer she realised it wasn't a man on a horse at all, it was a centaur.
"Chiron," Annabeth muttered to her self as Luke lowered her down. Grover had informed the group (Luke, Thalia and Annabeth) about this special place for demi-gods or half-bloods (children of a god) called Camp Half-blood and she guessed this is it. The crowd parted as Chiron trotted through and turned to the crowd.
"Can you all please resume your current activities?" He asked them in a way that said he was actually instructing them. The crowd suddenly thinned out as everyone left and he turned to Luke and Annabeth.
"I am Chiron," He announced, "And who are you?"
"I'm Luke," Luke mumbled, "And this is Annabeth." He ruffled his hand through Annabeth's hair.
"Come," Chiron instructed holding out his hand toward Annabeth. She took it and was put on his back. She watched Luke walk beside her and gripped her hand.
"You need to meet Mr. D." Chiron finished.
