Chapter 10
Annabeth POV
I was an expert at reading people and it was obvious the two siblings cared deeply about each other. Carter seemed more open and happy now that Sadie was here, but he was clearly hiding something personal from his sister. It took me about thirty seconds to realize I had been staring into space and Percy was waving his hand in my face. I blushed "um sorry." Sadie rolled her eyes as her brother continued.

Carter POV
Annabeth had stared at me so long I thought she was reading my mind. She might as well have been, but something was strange about her look. Anyway back to the story. I cleared my throat, "Um ya.
I was pretty insane that week the initiates all left me alone, but no one understood. I had lost my best friend only to be told the next day I was leaving the only home I had known since I was 8. So ya I was upset. Zia knocked, "carter they want to spend some time with you before we leave." I opened the door surprised, "we? But Zia Sadie will need help training th-" she smiled "Amos will send help, I on the other hand am staying with my boyfriend." She kissed me and we went downstairs. I listened carefully hoping for some message from Luke, but to no avail. Life was good and for two months nothing changed. Then came the day. My 18th birthday. Everyone came to Egypt for the day because the House of Life was to have its first official pharaoh in a long time. The day flashed by blah blah blah. All I remember was sitting on the throne as Amos did his annoyingly long speech. I lay in a bedroom waiting for sleep. After an eternity I fell asleep. What did I dream of? I dreamt of Luke. Him without a scar he day I met him. I dreamt of him as a kid. I learned about his childhood. I understood my friend, but I could not forgive him yet. About a year and a half passed before I even had time to think of Luke again. We were both nineteen and his guard must have been down. I snuck into Luke's brain and saw everything as he did. I heard Annabeth say, "Percy Jackson meet cabin eleven." I saw the kid in front of Luke call out, "regular or undetermined?" the boy had no clue what to say so Annabeth filled in, "Undetermined" the entire cabin except Luke groaned as he stepped forward. "Now, now campers. That's what we're here for. Welcome Percy. You can have that spot on the floor, right over there." Annabeth blushed, "this is Luke. He's your counselor for now." The kid looked at Luke like he knew something, but asked, "How long will I be here?" I could tell Luke was trying not to laugh, "Good question. Until you're determined." "How long will that take?" the other campers laughed at the boy. "Come on" Annabeth said embarrassed. "I'll show you the volleyball court." The boy rolled his eyes "I've already seen it." "Come on." She insisted. Luke then noticed my presence as I coughed. "Carter Kane." He thought "spying isn't very nice." Suddenly I was back in the First Nome. Zia desperately waving her hand in my face. "I was just daydreaming." I said effectively calming her down. Then her face clouded with worry again, "Amos needs you in the throne room."
Percy was grumbling, "of course you saw the time I made a fool of myself." Annabeth smiled, "THE time? There are plenty of them." Percy kissed her and Sadie pretended to be grossed out. I smiled.
