Alrighty so I know this isn't exactly the Annabeth chapter I was talking about, but when I try to sleep I always end up brain storming and this is what came out^^ I know it's not exactly how it happened in the book, but whatever.

I'm not kidding though. Every chapter of this as well as every chapter of my Adventures In Bonding story has been written in the middle of the night when I'm half asleep. I just CAN'T write when I'm wide awake. I know, I know, I'm odd O.o

Alright so I haven't read the Titan's Curse in a while, so forgive me if I mess up a couple of details with timing or whatever. And yes, I added a teeny bit of my own ideas to this^^

And I'm so very sorry that it's so short T-T

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

How had it come to this? Luke, Annabeth and I had once been so close. We were the only family we had. We trusted each other, once upon a time.

"Thalia," Luke pleaded. "Think about it! A world without the gods! No more neglect, no more pain." He had me emotionally trapped.

He was lying. Gods or no gods, there would always be hurt in the world.

"No Luke. No matter how bad the gods seem, the Titans are worse!"

I have to fight him...I know I have to! I could end this. Right now. But...I don't really want to hurt him...I mean, I know he's the enemy, but...

I gave a quick glance around me. Lady Artemis and Percy were both holding up the sky. It looked as if Percy was trying to get Artemis to let him take it alone. I continued to scan. Zoe... Atlas... Annabeth...Annabeth. Annabeth! There she was, on the ground, tied up. She looked at me with panicked eyes. She was scared. Truly scared. And it was all Luke's fault.

Luke had lied to her. He had broken his promise to me. He had betrayed the entire camp we worked so hard to reach, so long ago. He had sided with the Titans. It was because of him that Annabeth had fallen off of that cliff, trying to fight. It was his doing that Annabeth was forced to hold up the weight of the world, until Artemis could take her place. It was Luke's fault that Percy was suffering now, holding the weight of the sky. It was his fault that Bianca's first quest was fatal. It was his fault that Nico would know the pain of losing a sibling, the very pain I suffered every day. It was him, it was all Luke's fault...

I was it that moment that I felt a feeling toward Luke, that I never had before. Hatred. I hated him, so very much. He was useless. He had hurt so many that I loved...

I quickly pushed him back with the aura of my shield. I couldn't let him win. The pain had to stop. Right now.

"Yield!" I shouted. "You could never beat me, Luke." At that moment, I knew he was pushed beyond desperation. He was angry now.

"We'll see, my old friend."

We fought each other. Spear against sword. I was vaguely aware of the other fighting, but I was focused on Luke. I quickly back him up towards the cliff, would he wouldn't give in. I knew I had begun to cry. Luke must die. He had to...He would never give up.

Suddenly he lunged at me, and I hit him with my shield. He dropped his sword and it fell down to the rocks below. I put my spear up to his throat. This was it. The moment had come..

But I found myself hesitating.

"Well?" I could hear traces of fear in his voice.

"Don't kill him! Thalia, no!" Annabeth screamed.

"I have to...He...He's a traitor! Annabeth, I have to!" I sobbed.

"No! We could take him to Olympus...he could be useful!" She begged.

Luke just sneered. "Is that it, Thay?" Thay. He used to call me Thay. Back when...when.. "Do you want to go back to Olympus in triumph? To please your dad!" That last part was a taunt rather than question. I didn't know what to do.

I was scared.

At that moment, he made a grab for my spear. I wasn't thinking. I didn't know what else to do.

I kicked Luke away. He lost his balance, and with one final look of terror on his bruised face, he fell.

Oh no. No. No. No. No. No. NO!

"Luke!" Annabeth and I both screamed. I raced forward to the edge of the cliff. Sure enough Luke's broken body was on the rocks.

What had I done?

I had killed him. I had murdered Luke.

Luke...

I had believed that he had been my protector, my family, my friend, my love.

But now I knew the truth.

Luke had been my enemy all along...

But now he was gone.

Dead.

Forever.
