Chapter3.
Hey guys, I would like to thank you for the positive reviews. I'm actually really happy, LOVE YOU.
previously...
Luke looked at Amy and Matt, his eyes softened, he then looked at his sister, she nodded.
"alright then, we'll see if professor will accept." Luke said the word 'professor' with so much distaste, that I wondered who the professor was.
"It's almost midnight," Natalie started, "We'll leave at six in the morning, take some rest."
Matt and Amy happily obliged, and before they knew it, they were fast asleep.
Malcolm came up to me, "Sleep a little, you look tired."
"No, i'm fine." I said while I gave him that look once again, telling him he better shut up and mind his own business.
"Fine whatever." He then went up to Natalie, and they sat there in awkward silence, looking at anywhere but at one another, I couldn't help but crack a smile.
"So, you're Annabeth right?" Asked a husky voice.
I jumped surprised by the sudden action.
The voice just chuckled, I huffed, but before turning around to know who was the owner of the voice, I said, "It isn't nice to sneak up on people like that."
the voice just chuckled once again, I got angrier.
"What's SO funny, enlighten me with your exc-" I couldn't continue my word, since I couldn't find my voice.
Luke was sitting on the chair behind me, smirking.
"Okay, first of all, you smirk alot, second of all, what's so funny, you creeped the shit out of me."
"Is there something wrong with smirking?" He asked, smirking.
"Ugh, you're so annoying." I groaned.
"Good to know." He smirked, then winked.
"Uhm," I said obviously uncomfortable with the close distance.
It's either Luke didn't notice, or just ignored it, because he continued to smirk.
"So, how did you get here?" He asked.
"Why do you want to know?" I snapped.
"I don't know, you just seem interesting." He totally ignored my bitter comment,
I blushed at his comment.
"Uh, well, I live in Manhattan, not in this part of the city, of course, I've never even been here before."
Luke didn't say anything, he just made a 'go on' sign with his hand.
"My parent's took us here, before all of this started, we were going on a vacation, on our way here, well it started, and before we got here in like half an hour, our parents had to leave, why? I don't know."
"Oh." Was his smart answer.
"Yeah."
"So," Luke said eager to change the subject, "I don't know alot about you, Miss...?"
"Chase, Annabeth Chase." I Answered, smiling. Luke wasn't a complete jerk after all.
"Well, Miss Annabeth Chase," He said smirking, "How old are you?"
I felt dicomfort at this question, although he was just trying to start a conversation.
"I'm sixteen." I answered, "You?"
"Eighteen," Luke smirked, an award winning smirk, "It's nice to meet you."
"Likewise," I said smiling, a real one though, "So Luke-"
I couldn't continue what I was going to say, since we heard some grumbles.
"Clear out! Fast!" Yelled Natalie.
Malcolm ran for Matt, while I ran for Amy.
"Sweetie, wake up, we have to go now," I whispered softly. she yawned, a small, cute yawn and said,
"I'm hungry Annie," Usually I would get mad if someone called me Annie, but now wasn't the time.
"Don't worry, we'll go to a shelter hopefully they would have some food, but now you have to wake up." I kissed her forehead, she got up, and we both ran to the doors.
We were greeted by a group of zombies,
Yay.
Luke handed me a knife, it was a bronze knife with some drawings on it, ill try to remember to look them up when we reach the shelter.
"Thank you," I whispered, he just nodded,
"See that box over there?" He pointed to a big box near the garbage, I wrinkled my nose in disgust but nodded, "Okay, take your siblings there while we take those zombies down."
I put my knife inside of my boot's neck, took both of my sibling's hand's and ran to the garbage box,
And there was no way in hell im going in.
So we just stood there and waited.
I took the moment to look at my surroundings, to my right, I saw Natalie and Malcolm fighting back to back, They seemed to be doing well, so I looked at my left, only to see Luke gracefully killing zombies, in an amazing way. and before I knew it, the zombies were all dead.
Suddenly I heard a scream, I would've noticed that scream anywhere, it belonged to non other than my small sister, Amy.
I turned to see that a zombie had tackled her on the ground, Matt was already kocked out.
I felt guilt, how stupid could I be to just get lost in thoughts and forget them, ugh.
Idiot I scolded myself.
I then ran to my sister, reached for my dagger, and took the zombie off her, kicked it twice, then took my knife and kept stabbing it in the face, although it was dead from the first stab.
"Son of a bitch," I cussed.
I ran to my sister, she just pointed to Matt.
I ran to Matt, finding him all bloody and lying on the floor, I checked from any bites, there weren't any, I silently thanked the gods.
"Are you okay, Matty?" I asked, already tearing up.
"Annie it was big, it wanted to kill Amy, I just wanted to protect her."
"It's okay," I said softly, "Your fine, and Amy's fine."
He smiled, and tried to get up, but almost fell.
"Com'on buddy," Malcolm said, while glaring at me, "Ill carry you."
"But I can walk," Matt complained.
"Sure you can," Malcolm chuckled, while Matt pouted.
"Okay, shall we go now?" Natalie said, a bit irritated.
"Yeah," I nodded, still feeling miserable.
And so, we continued walking.
