Author's Note: *cowers in corner* Please do not kill me! I am sorry I have not updated for like three months but my PJO plot bunnies decided to leave me. Thank you to Annabeth-Athena's Daughter, Towerprepfan, and Star Heaven 16 for the reviews and favorites! I appreciate it. Now I have kept you waiting long enough. Read on! *I tried to upload this about a week ago and for some reason it did not work . I did not realize this until about 5 minutes ago so sorry.

Luke POV
"Annabeth?" I asked as I knocked on the door to the Athena cabin and hoped that the kelp head would not be there.
"Just a minute!" She yelled from the inside and took a minute getting outside, "So Luke, what do you need?" She asked.
"Why do you not hate me?" I asked and she looked taken aback and then struggled to find words.
"I always see the good in people, I guess."She said.
"Why does Thalia hate me?" I asked.
"Because she is more like Percy then she is like me." She said bluntly.
"How do I fix it?" I asked.
"Well, for starters you could talk to her." She said in a very reprimanding tone.
"What would I say?" I asked.
"When I said talk, mostly I meant listen and hope that while she is chewing you out, she does not kill you." She said to clarify.
"That is your best idea? Listen and try not to get myself killed?" I screamed and shook my head.
"Luke, the best plan is not always the easiest one. If you want to get anywhere with her, you have to know why she is upset." She said in calm response to my screaming.
"I hate when you are right." I said and she shrugged.
"Now, if you will excuse me, I have an appointment to keep." She said and I just sighed.
"I would hate to keep you away from the sea spawn." I said mockingly and began to walk away when I saw the son of Hades practicing in the arena.
"Need a partner?" I asked.
"What do you want Luke?" He asked.
"Why do you assume I want something? Maybe I just want to work on my sword skills." I said as innocently as possible.
"Okay then, we can practice and then afterward you can tell me what you want from me."He said, obviously not believing me.
"Ok then, have it your way." I said and we began to duel. He was good practice, but seeing as I am one of the best swordsmen in a hundred years, the poor kid did not really stand a chance.
"So what did you want?" He asked between breaths.
"I need to talk to a friend and I am not quite sure where she is at the moment and I need your expertise to locate her." I said.
"I am not everyone's personal transportation system! Gosh! First, Thalia needs to get to Artemis' camp quickly to get away from you and now you need me to follow her." He said in frustration.
"How do you know she was trying to get away from me?" I asked.
"I am 13, I am not stupid." He said bluntly.
"I am sorry I ever doubted your superior intellect." I said sarcastically.
"Do you want me to take you or not?" He asked.
"Yes I do." I said and without words we were both thrust into shadows.
