XLVIII.

ｔｈｅ ｌａｓｔ ｏｌｙｍｐｉａｎ

LUCIA DIDN'T EXACTLY HATE RACHEL DARE. Or dislike her. She was cool, she guessed. she liked a lot of the things Lucia did: Art, Music... but the problem might have been that they had too many likes in common.

Lucia could admit that she was very pretty, with her red hair and forest green eyes, she was funny-ish too. She also didn't have a boyfriend or was brainwashed by a Titan lord hellbent on destroying the world...she would be better for Percy, and sadly, Lucia knew he could be happy with her...

I love Ethan she tried telling herself it doesn't matter

but truth was, she was getting to the point where she couldn't lie to herself anymore

Annabeth flew the pegasus toward an out-of-control helicopter. If Guido had been any less of a fancy flier, they would've been strips of confetti.

Lucia could hear Rachel screaming inside. And it was starting to piss her off. For some reason, she hadn't fallen asleep, but Lucia could see the pilot slumped over the controls, pitching back and forth as the helicopter wobbled toward the side of an office building.

"Ideas?" Percy asked them.

"You're going to have to take Guido and get out," Annabeth said.

"What are you guys going to do?"

Neither replied. Annabeth said Hyah! and Guido went into a nosedive. 

"Duck!" Annabeth yelled.  They obeyed. Lucia was then extremely grateful to be short enough that the helicopter blades got nowhere near her hair. she had been through enough she drew the line at her hair being ruined.

She straightened and reached for the helicopter door with Annabeth, They zipped along the side.

And that's when things went wrong.

Guido's wing slammed against the side of the helicopter and plummeted down with Percy on his back.

Leaving Lucia and Annabeth dangling from the side of the aircraft.

"oh Fuck you!" She screamed to no one in particular, her knuckles turning white with her grip.

She looked up at Annabeth, her brain working quickly to figure out a way to help her. She swore no matter what happened she would not let Annabeth fall.

Thankfully, Lucia didn't have much work to do. Rachel seemed to notice she was being rescued and pulled them inside the copter.

"Lucia?" She gasped

"No, it's Jesus Christ-AH!" Lucia slid to the side of the copter as it wobbled, She cursed as her bad shoulder slammed against the pilot seat. Her vision spotted and she let out a loud gasp. Through the pain, she dove forward and shoved the stupid mortal out of the way. Which allowed Annabeth to wobble into the seat and man the controls. He fell dramatically into the other seat of the cockpit, letting out obnoxious snores.

Camp Half-Blood is the Enemy

Not the time!

"Ahh!" Rachel cried as she flew backward

Lucia used her good arm to grab her by the shirt before she could fly out the Helicopter door. She pulled her closer and a frown fell on her face when Rachel gripped onto her armor. The redhead held on for dear life and started screaming bloody murder in her ear.

Lucia glared at her "Now who's the loud one?"

Rachel opened her mouth to speak but another scream came out, her finger frantically pointing to the front of them. She pulled Lucia closer, shaking her. "Oh my god! the building! Annabeth! Annabeth! the building!"
