PART 2. CHAPTER 12.
Team Percy and Team Luke

The Choice Chapters, Part 2

I looked down at my feet. I wasn't sure, what would Athena say? Would she choose the side to find one of her oldest, most trustworthy friends but kill her newer, bravest friend? Or would she choose the side of leaving her friend to die and staying on the side of her newer friend? I broke down, but clenched my teeth so I wouldn't cry. The choice…the choice was confusing.

The choice.

I remembered this summer, in the labyrinth, where Janus told me I had to choose sooner or later. Was this my choice? Join Percy or Luke? This felt like that Twilight thing…Team Edward and Team Jacob…and I was Bella. Either join Team Percy or Team Luke. I looked down and held back a tear until I saw one plop on the floor. I shook my head, then looked up at Kronos. "Team Luke…" I whispered, "Or Team Percy…"

Then I made my decision, "Fine, I'll kill Percy and save Luke," I announced my verdict. I looked up at Kronos, who had a large smirk on his face.

He opened up his hand, and within the palm was my golden hairpin, "I have enhanced it, it is similar to Luke's blade, for one side is deadly to mortals and half-bloods, it'll be good against your young friend," he moved towards the exit of the tunnel and had me un-handcuffed by his Cyclops, who followed the titan out of the exit and into the sunlight, and for some reason it felt unnaturally dark.

The monster put me down, and pushed me up beside the titan. But for some odd cause, I didn't feel out of place, it felt normal. I thought about the idea of how it was Luke's body, and maybe that was what calmed me so much.

Kronos stopped in his tracks, and I turned to him, he was looking out at something. "We're getting closer…" he looked at me, "Annabeth," and when I heard him say my name, it almost sounded like Luke's voice. I started to wonder if maybe there was still a small part of Luke left in that soul, one that saw me. I heard a rustle in the bushes behind me and saw Percy appear.

"Annabeth!" he called. He turned, "She's over here!" he announced to the world. As he did, I moved back slightly beside the lord's side. Percy looked over at me and saw Kronos and pulled out the ballpoint pen, but I gave him a warning look. That didn't stop Percy from pulling out Riptide.

He ran at Kronos, and I pulled out my hairpin and shook it and almost scared myself at the double-edge blade. I held it out in front of Kronos and slashed Riptide away. Percy looked at me, "Annabeth, move," he ordered as I moved myself in front of the titan.

I held my blade against Percy's chest, "You move away first and show me Luke," I ordered in a hard-edged voice. I stared hard at Percy and he backed down from me and pulled away.

"You're on his side?" he asked, and moved forward to touch me before I raised my blade again, in order of telling him not to move.

"No," I relaxed him, watching his shoulders drop, "But he promised me he would show me where Luke is,"

"Annabeth, don't listen to Kronos, he'll just-"

"You didn't answer my request!" I bellowed. Percy stared at me in surprise, "Where-is-Luke?" I demanded one more time, leaving my blade up.

Percy shook his head, "I'm not showing you Luke,"

"And why not?" I spoke in a still loud voice, and I didn't quiet it afterwards neither.

"Because how can I trust that you won't just grab him and run away with Kronos," he looked deep into my eyes, looking for answers. I could see the acidity in his eyes.

"Because I'm still your friend," my voice suddenly dropped the volume, "But I'm Luke's friend too, and you better bring him out here in ten seconds before I force you to," I held up a shield that Kronos had given me in defense to show Percy I was prepared to battle if I must.

Percy recoiled and pulled out Riptide once again, "No,"

"Then you asked for it," then in a quiet battle-voice I cocked him, "Seaweed Brain,"

I charged at Percy, who was without a shield, which gave me the upper advantage. Thalia came out of the woods and begged for us to stop, but I warned her each time she let her voice squeak out a pinch. Finally Percy knocked my shield away and it was plainly a sword-fight. But I remembered a trick Percy always used against Luke when he first learned it, but I was unprepared for him to use it against me. He knocked the sword out of my hands and slashed at my feet and I tripped, and sat on my knees.

I looked up at Percy, "Finish me off," I instructed him. I saw the look in his face when I told him, "Why would you need me in your life anyways?"

"Because I still love you Annabeth,"

Once again, he caught me off guard, but I was able to take the upper advantage when everyone got quiet and I spun and tripped Percy with my feet and grabbed my sword, standing overtop of Percy, who still had Riptide in his hand. I placed my foot on his chest.

I heard Kronos laugh, "It didn't seem like it," I droned, "If you loved me you would've let me see Luke, you wouldn't have kept him from me, you would've trusted me not to run away," I held my blade to his throat.

"So now you have a choice, Percy," I whispered, "Either show me Luke and let him go, or I kill you,"

Another tough choice to make. Please review, I worked really hard on his chapter!
