Chapter 6:
I was about to scream and run but i just couldn't move, i was frozen. What was going on? How did he get back in here? As i was watching Percy fight my fight it made me thankful to have a great friend.
"Why are you here!" I heard Percy yell.
"I think you know why I am here," Luke said deflecting one of Percy's blows.
"I don't, tell me," Percy said obviously getting weaker.
"I am here because you are here, Annabeth," The sound of my name made me jump a little.
As Percy was fighting Luke he looked up for two seconds and saw me.
Dang it! i thought my cover is blown.
Luke saw that Percy's guard was down and took the moment to kick him to the ground. That made my ADHD act up.
"Luke!" I yelled.
That took him off guard long enough for Percy to get up. I run and joined him.
"Ah, Annabeth so great you could join us," Luke said with a creepy smile.
"What are you doing here?" I said walking toward him.
"I am here for...Percy," he hesitated to say.
"Oh, no," Percy said standing by my side, "You aren't here for me, you're here for her." he gestured toward me when he said that.
Luke was still staring at me and frankly, it was freaking me out.
"You're here for me?" I asked not that surprised.
When Luke didn't answer i took it as a yes.
"What do you want from me?" I asked afraid of the answer.
"I want...you," he said not full of courage.
Luke had a crush on me? I mean i felt that way a while back but not now. I could feel Percy's eyes on my back.
"You have a crush on me?" I asked.
"I know you like me too," he said avoiding the question. He started walking closer to me.
"Liked," I said staying in place gripping my dagger tighter.
"What?"
"You heard me, liked. I did like you but not anymore," I said trying to read his face. It flicked from anger to hurt then sempathy.
"I think you still like me," he said reaching out and touching my arm. I flinch under the touch but he didn't let go.
"I dont," I answered pulling my arm away.
I looked at Percy and he looked anger. It looked like he would rip Luke's head off if he said anything else.
"What, are you saying you like Percy?" Luke said following my gaze.
"I-i never said that," I said hating the quiver in my voice.
"You didn't half to. I can tell," he said before walking away.
I just stood there, paralyzed. Was it really that obvious? I wanted to see Percy's reaction but i thought i might be disappointed. Then again he did kiss me.
When i did turn to see Percy he looked calm. He was actually smiling. Smiling? What did that mean?
"What?" I said playfully slapping him.
"Nothing," he said coming closer.
Percy was leaning in to kiss me but stopped when he heard somebody scream. We shared a worried glance and ran.
I was thinking it would be Luke or something but no it was an Aphrodite girl crying because her eyeliner pencil broke. After we fixed that problem we went to see if Chiron had left yet.
The walk to the Big house was sort of awkward. Percy and I didn't say one word to each other, come to think of it we didn't even look at each other. We search the house up and down , skipping the oracle room the place gave me the spooks. I guessed he just left.
"He is gone," I said as we were walking back to the cabins.
"Yeah," Percy mumbled.
"Hey, you can go back to the cabins i am going to the beach, later," I said walking off before Percy could say anything else.
Walking to the beach made me feel more relaxed. The breeze felt good in my hair and the smell of salt made me kind of sad. I thought of Percy's sea-green eyes and his unruly black hair.
I didn't know what i was doing here. I thought about that as i sat on the sand. It was a great do to be at the beach. There is a little breeze, the sun was out and it was calm.
I don't know how long i was sitting there before i heard footsteps behind me. My first thought was Luke. The footsteps were getting closer and i was getting anxious. Then Seaweed brain plopped himself down right next to me.
"Hello, what are you doing here?" I asked still staring at the sea.
" I wanted to swim," he said matter-of-factly.
"I'll swim," I said grabbing Percy's hand as i ran toward the water.
Once we were in, Percy dragged me under and put an air bubble around me so i could breath.
"This is really something," I said as Percy took hold of my hand.
"Yeah, it is," Percy replied but looking at me not the water.
Then something happened. There was movement in the water below us. Percy didn't look worried but i knew i did. It all happened so fast. A huge shark thing came and grabbed Percy knocking me to the ground, bottom of the ocean, where i passed out not knowing if i would like.
I only remember Percy yelling, " Annabeth! Swim!"
Then the water overwhelmed me.
Hoped you like that one!! It isn't as long as others; longer than some. Please Review so i know you've read!! I would make me feel great!! Tell me if you liked it.
