Hello guys! I decided to put another chapter but in Annabeth's POV. I didn't have it planned, but this is the last one, I hope.

I don't own anything, Uncle Riordan does.


Annabeth's POV

The war has ended. I am feeling relieved, but sorrow fills my body. Luke is dead. I can't believe it. He died as a hero, a real hero worth being recognized among demigods and gods. He was the hero of the prophecy after all. Everybody thought it was Percy, even me. Only thinking about his soul being reaped makes me sink into darkness and loneliness. I can't bear it, he is the only person I have to lean on, if he dares someday to left this world before fate has decided, I am determined to make Hades himself haunt his soul in the Underworld.

After days of war, we are finally in peace. At least we think so, for a while. Maybe I must be angry at Percy for giving Luke the knife, maybe I must want to kill him because he technically killed my brother, not directly killed, but somehow he gave Luke the knife to finish off his life, but I can't stay angry at Percy. He's just the person who can bring a smile upon me within seconds, being mad at him isn't a thing that lasts much.

Luke. Even though he betrayed us, I had a soft spot for him. Luke and Thalia were my first family, and family is an important thing to me, after all, having one was something special for me. I mean, I never considered my dad and I a family neither when he married again, so when Luke and Thalia found me, I finally felt I was part of a family, where they love me and so do I, and we stuck together in everything, no matter what.

But no family, as perfect they are, they don't last forever. Ours broke apart with time. Thalia was gone, then she came back, and then she took her own path with Artemis. I was happy for her, but couldn't help but feel a little sad that she left me. And Luke betrayed us, gone, another one who left me without warning. But, of course, I had to be tough, no matter what was happening, being weak was not an option. I made barriers, walls, fortresses, everything for being protected against people who might hurt me someday, and suddenly Percy Jackson came around.

Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, hero of Olympus, was able to tear apart these shields, fortresses, walls that I worked so much on making around me. But it he didn't get it easy to win my trust. I'll never ever make things easy for him. He took years in breaking my shields, years of friendship, confidence, near to death quests, but he finally did it. And I was happy it was him.

And as I think this, I realized that I'm in love with Percy Jackson. This is it. I am determined to make him see my feelings. Now I'm heading to his table at the Dining Pavilion with a cake in my hands made by Tyson and me.

I sit next to him, he notices me and we started talking. I found out something that makes me pretty happy. I was his anchor to mortal life. I was the reason why he turned down godhood. I then, without even thinking about it, I kissed him right on the lips. Our lips met like they've always belonged with mine. And damn it feels good kissing him.
