PJTLT Annabeth's POV 1

I thought of doing the lightening thief in Annabeth's POV, because I was wondering what would it be like to see her side.

I'm sorry if this is going to disappoint you, but Percy isn't in this chapter.

1. A new home

I found Luke and Thalia three weeks ago.

I was hiding behind a garbage bin in a dark alleyway at night-that's when the monsters came mostly, so I slept in the day when I could-with a Hammer ready to attack those nasty monsters that would come after me.

I ran away from home, because my dad and my step-mum, didn't want me to hurt their family.

They said how dare I put their family at risk, like I wasn't part of it anymore, so I ran away.

I heard two people voices, a girls and boys.

'We should find somewhere safe to sleep tonight.' The boys voice said.

I jumped out at them swinging my hammer.

The boy caught my hand, the hammer was a few inches from his face.

He had sparkly blue eyes and dark blonde hair, the colour sand was when it was wet.

He was a lot older than I was, maybe as twice as old.

Fourteen? I thought.

I looked at the girl, she looked slightly younger, maybe twelve, she had blue eyes, but they crackled lightning blue, while she had black hair that was short and it shot in too many directions for me too count.

'Woah.' The boy said, while the girl cringed back an inch or so.

'Monsters. Go away!' I yelled, trying to get my arm out of his grip, but he held it too tight.

'No.' He told me. 'But we fight them too.' He continued. 'What is a little girl like you doing in this alley?' He asked.

'Hiding from the monsters, I ran away. My family doesn't want me anymore.' I told him.

'We ran away too.' He told me.

I smiled at that comment.

'I'm Luke, and this is Thalia.' He said before gesturing to the girl. 'What's your name?' He asked.

'Annabeth.' I said.

'Okay Annabeth, if I let go of your hand, will you promise not to hit me?' He asked.

I just nodded.

He released my arm.

'You don't want a hammer, that won't hurt the monsters.' He said as if I didn't her the word kill before.

'Will you leave me?' I asked.

'No.' Luke said. 'Here, I'm sure you can handle this knife.' He said. 'You me and Thalia will be a family, and I promise.' He said.

'So Annabeth, how long have you been alone.' Thalia asked, I almost forgot her name, but I did forget she was there.

'Four weeks.' I replied.

They looked at each other.

'Come on let's find somewhere safe to sleep.' Luke said.

We slept at a quiet place that night, but I didn't keep away the dreams, I dreamt of a huge monster, talking in my mums voice.

"Annabeth , I have made you cookies." I tried to scream NO!, but my voice didn't work.

I woke up once the monster had caught me.

Luke slayed almost every monster we ran into, we hadn't run into the one in my dream.

We had to eat off the scraps we could salvage.

Luke, Thalia and I had travelled two weeks through Virginia before Grover a Satyr found us.

Satyrs are creatures like monsters, but they help you instead of attacking us. His hair was short and brown curling, I saw two points on his head, I guess he bumped it, twice.

He wore no trousers, which showed his legs were like a brown goats and his feet were hooves.

I know, weird, it freaked me out first time too.

He said he would take us to somewhere safe Luke tried to say no, but the Satyr took us anyway.

We walked for three days, with a few monsters, but we still hadn't seen the monster from my dreams,

On the last day, the Satyr, (Grover) took a wrong turn, and we found ourselves in a dead end, we tried to turn back, but there was a large concrete wall, there was an entrance, Luke led us in, but it immediately split four ways, Luke took the first, Thalia took the second, I took the third so Grover had the fourth.

I walked for quite a while, then I heard a scream of terror, it was Grover.

'Satyrs make delicious food, but cannot be served with not no human.' The monster said, it sounded like the one from the dream. I walked some more and heard a girl scream.

'Thalia.' Grover cried.

'This is your fault.' I heard her mumble.

'How?' Grover asked.

Did he really ask that question? I thought.

'Gee let me think...'

I heard a roar of rage before, I heard Luke yell.

'Get off of me you big fat, slobbery (bad cursing words) monster.' He said. 'Grover you led us into this death trap.'

'Now you will stay here while I find little girl.' The monster said. I froze.

I kept moving and heard Grover, Luke and Thalia, cursing and yelling.

I had to help them.

First I heard my mom, who was being nice to me, which she never was.

I then heard my dad.

'Annabeth, my darling little girl, come and give your dad a hug, the spiders won't hurt you.'

I moved one step forward. Then I froze, I just remembered that this monster could imitate voices.

I thought about how to escape this monster and how to set my friends free in time, so we could get away.

I ran towards the monster and I slid between its legs, before I came out the other side, I. Stabbed my knife in the back of its leg.

The monster crumpled and wailed in agony. The monster was a Cyclops, easily three meters, maybe four.

I looked and saw Grover, hanging over a boiling pot while Luke and Thalia were tied together in a corner.

I rescued Luke first, he ran after the Cyclops while I rescued Thalia, she threw her spear she had and it cut Grover's rope, he was hanging on in a net, then she quickly. Put Aegis, which was a shield with the gorgon Medusa's face etched in it, it wasn't her real head.

The shield stopped Grover from turning into Satyr soup.

Then Thalia took her shield off once Grover was safe, she picked up her spear and ran to help Luke.

'Thank you Annabeth.' Grover said, pulling me into a hug,b it was a little awkward, but I understood his reasons, I just rescued him from turning into food for a hungry Cyclops who was still roaring. 'Come on you two, he'll send more if you kill him.

The exit was straight ahead over a bridge just outside the monsters lair, we raced through the streets of New York, before Grover took us across the williamsburg bridge.

He took us for two hours longer before, we were fighting our way through the countryside.

Luke was hacking away with his sword, Thalia kept hitting monsters with her shield and stabbing some of them. Grover was playing his reed pipes badly, but they made the grass grow longer and entangle the enemy's feet.

I kept dodging in through the monsters stabbing some while they were busy doing something, else.

Grover took us to the foot of a hill, we arrived at nightfall more monsters were following us, since we destroyed that last wave.

Grover, Luke Thalia and I were at the top of the hill fighting.

Thalia was beaten up worse than we were.

'Take those two over the border.' Thalia ordered Grover.

'But, you have to come over.' Grover said. 'I need to have guided you safely.' He continued.

'Don't argue with me, just take them.' Thalia shouted.

I was glad Luke and I were crossing, I really like him.

Pull yourself together Annabeth, he's twice your age, a part of my brain told me.

Untill you're eight, the other part of my brain said.

But he'll always be seven years older than you, the first part of my brain retorted.

'Shut up.' I mumbled too low for anyone to hear.

I heard a flash and where Thalia stood before was a huge pine tree.

A few monsters entered the boundaries, untill a golden woolly thing draped over one of the lover branches.

The few monsters that had entered the camps borders were slowly disintegrating.

'Come on, let's go see Chiron.' Grover said and wheeled us to a big house.
