Chapter twenty two

The adrenalin rushing through me, I was able to see clearly through the mound of people as fists connected to certain body parts. I saw this one guy about to jump on Percy who was in the middle of beating this other blonde dude, so I pounced, knocking this guy in the face with my elbow on the way down. A couple more pinches in certain areas and they would be out for the next 8-10 hours, waking up with a headache that could rival the worst hangover as a result.

Before I could move of him, someone grabbed me by my pony tail. I really hated fighting drunk dudes. I had never done It before but really, when they can't tell that you're a girl it does get kind of insulting.. though it does give you the element of surprise. I twisted round in this guys arms so I could see his face, the surprised look appearing as my nose was drowned in the scent of stale beer making me want to throw up.

He released my pony tail seconds before I knocked out his knees. Getting him down on the ground, it was a swift knee to the forehead, careful not to hit his nose. I didn't want to permanently damaged the dude after all.

Percy was a head of me, still fighting this one guy that seamed more sober then the others, but he was doing a good job, ducking and weaving whilst getting a few good shots of his own in. He even kind of looked sexy, the raw wild emotions in his eyes turning me on a little.

Yeah not the time or the place to think about it.

I scanned the rest of the fight. Jason and Piper were fighting hand in hand, though he was doing most of the punching and all whilst she gave a nice swift lethal kick to the sensitive parts. And Nico had taken on Luke himself.

They were going at it like wild dogs, Nico had a busted lip, Luke's head split open pretty badly. It looked like they were too fairly matched. Which was when I saw it. Luke had something glinting in his pocket, but I realised too late that it was a hunting knife. The kind that was used to finish off prey.

Nico hadn't seen it, concealed in Luke's forearm, but before I could move to help, Thalia stepped in. she had seen it too, the little glint in the corner of her eye, grabbing Luke's arm from behind and twisting with as much force as she could. Thankfully she was strong, the blade coming out so she could hold it in her hand.

The fight froze, people in different positions as they watched the knife swing back and fourth between her fingertips "Now I know you were never good at playing fair Luke" she spoke up, her voice loud and confident with pure hated laced in with it. The only time I had ever heard her use that tone was when she was talking to her parents.

"Thalia. Give that back to me" he demanded, taking one step towards her. But she hopped back, keeping as much space in between them as possible "No Luke. You shouldn't have come here"

"Please babe, I'm fighting for you. Fighting to keep you. I love you"

"Fighting for me includes hurting the people I most care about does it? Way to win me back Luke" she spat out. She was stalling time so the guys could get their breath back. Sneaking a glance at Percy, he had blood on him from a small gash on his forehead. Nothing to serious but the sight of his blood making my heart clench.

I wasn't bleeding thankfully, though I would be sore in the morning. I hadn't stretched properly and that was going to kill me tomorrow.

"I love you Thalia, we belong together"

"yeah, we're the perfect couple. Like anchovies and ice cream" her eyes cutting to Nico who was slowly inching forward towards them.

"You don't mean that" Luke said, taking a step closer to her but Thalia dodged away again "I do Luke. I broke up with you. I think it's time you deal with it"

"You bitch" he said lunging at her, but she was fast, throwing the knife in Percy's direction. His hand plucked the knife out of the air by its handle and in the same movement, he swung around and tossed the weapon into the sea as far as it could have been thrown.

And just like that, Luke charged at Thalia, Nico Charged at Luke. Thankfully Nico got there first, knocking the dickhead flat on the ground with all his might.

His friends – the ones that were still standing – didn't come to the rescue nursing their wounds as they watched the final struggle in the last few remaining minutes before the police arrived to break up the fight,

"Wise girl" Percy gasped, clutching me round the waist and spinning me round as he kissed me with all his might. I pressed my body to his, kissing him back twice as hard, thanking the Gods he wasn't hurt. Though when we pulled away I saw the blood on him. It wasn't all his thank god, but there was still that tiny gash to take care of "you going to help me with it" he asked, a sexy look in his eye. I knew him well enough to know where his mind was going. And it certainly wasn't anywhere suitable for children "It just needs cleaning by the looks of it, nothing too major"

"That's fine, we can save the naughty nurse for another time" he grinned as I slapped him on the shoulder, but I couldn't help but smile also because the fight could have turned out a lot worse. If I hadn't of seen the knife, who knows what would have happened.

"Seriously?" I I joke scolded, glancing towards the two friends that laid unconscious on the sand. The Paramedics were looking them over now, assessing them. Thankfully not too much damage had been done. "Now I'm thankful all you did was ignore me. Who knew my girlfriend could kick ass" his said, his face turning serious "Annabeth, I know we have to talk about things -"

"Later okay?" I whispered, leaning up to kiss him again.

"Annabeth?" Thalia called out, running over to me. Apparently Nico needed to go to the hospital, and like any good girlfriend, Thalia would be going with him "Thank you" she smiled, Hugging me. Then hugging Percy, chuckled slightly as he hugged her back "I'll see you tomorrow all right?" she smiled pulling apart from Percy and turning towards where the ambulance waited for her "Text me okay?" I shouted after her, waving her hand to indicate she had heard me.

"Hey Percy" someone called out behind us. The police where here, I had completely forgotten about them. Frank came up to us, giving us the once over, checking for any thing that needed medical assistance. "You two need to come with me" he said in his official police voice leading us off the beach and into the back of his cruiser. Yeah I was so going to die when my parents found out about this.
