Chapter 10
(Annabeth's POV)
After a few hours on the road, we got to Moschato. Luke offered once again to take me to lunch. We went to a sweet little restaurant on a busy road. The food was delicious, and like a gentleman, Luke paid for my meal.
"So where are you from?" he questioned as we walked out of the restaurant. "Wait, you're probably not going to tell me. 'Locations have power,'" he mocked.
I pushed his shoulder. "Be quiet." I mounted Alogo once again, patiently waiting for Luke to mirror me. He slid into the saddle quickly and again we were off.
"Where are you headed?" Luke eventually asked.
"Athens."
"Ah, Athens. It's about a day's journey," he said.
"We should get some food…"
"Well aren't you a wise girl?" he laughed.
I stiffened in my saddle. "Don't call me that," I said sternly.
"Why not?"
I turned away from him. I felt that he had feelings for me. I had feelings for him too, just... not like that.
"You can tell me." His voice softened.
I shook my head.
"I like that name."
"Yeah, well so does Percy," I blurted before I could stop myself.
"Percy? Who's that?"
"He's… a really close friend."
"Are you sure nothing more?"
"No. We're lovers," I told him. I saw a mix of emotions flicker across his face: anger, betrayal, pain.
"What happened to him?"
"I… I don't know."
"But you still love him?"
I nodded and looked up at him. "My mother always said that distance makes the heart grow fonder."
His eyes widened. "Who's your mother?"
"Her—her name was Athena," I said.
"It can't be…" he muttered.
"She died years ago…!"
"How many?"
"Five," I answered.
"Five… five years ago is when she returned from a few year vacation. How old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"It must be… Seventeen years ago she became pregnant," he said. "Please, tell me your name. It's important."
"A—Annabeth."
"Well, Annabeth, the queen had her baby. Her name was Annabeth as well. You have the same eyes as her…" At that he slid off of his horse and knelt down, his head bent.
"What does it—"
"I believe I should take you home, Princess."
Wut
Is she the Princess? Is Luke right?
