Chapter 25: Questions
Yeah, I managed to update faster than I thought. The chapter one of the shortest I have written, though. I just wanted to update fats even if this was a short chapter because this chapter will be from the point of view of someone you have been waiting to show up for months now: Annabeth!
I don't own any of this except for the plotline
Read, enjoy, and review!
Annabeth's POV
I was staring at the iris message that was spying Percy's group heading this way. Atlas used one of his powers so that they wouldn't notice that they were being watched. They have been spying on them since they entered the Garden. Atlas and Luke were also staring. They must be as shocked as I am.
"I can't believe that this Poseidon's brat destroyed Ladon with magic," Atlas said more to himself than to anyone else.
"So, this Percy Jackson is actually from the future General?" Luke asked in disbelief.
"So it seems," Atlas said narrowing his eyes, "Besides, it would explain why he is older and why he can use magic despite the fact that he can't do that in this time."
There was a short silence before Atlas started talking again.
"So, I am supposed to kill my treacherous daughter and Jackson is trying to change history to save her," He said in deep thought. "Well, he won't be able to stop me and it seems I will break his heart," He added while grinning with malice.
I flinched when he said that. I just can't believe it. Percy is in love with Zoë Nightshade? And she loves him back? So he had never loved me?
Silent tears started to feel down my cheeks. Then I shook my head. This isn't the time or place to cry. Percy and the others will arrive soon and I don't want to distract them in the upcoming battle. And, I have no one to blame but myself. I never decided to make a move on him and now it's too late.
I shook my head again. No. It's never too late. If we make it out of here alive I will fight for Percy's love. If he doesn't love me back after that… I guess I will have to choose someone else later on but what I don't want is to lose him and do nothing to stop it.
I looked at my surroundings. I may be stand up and unshackled but trying to escape will be useless because 11 skeletons are around the place. Besides don't have my knife or my invisibility cap. Luke has them.
Luke. Has he truly betrayed us? Is there really no hope for him to return to our side? Did he break his promise to me when he took away my knife?
I shook my head again. I can't keep thinking these depressing questions when I have no answers. I have to focus on escaping when I find the chance.
I stared at the iris message again and I knew that Percy's group isn't far away.
Yes, I know it was very short. Percabeth fans, please don't hate me. There will be more in store for Annabeth in the next story.
