When Pirates Clash (Percy Jackson Pirate Au)

Chapter 19

Hey guys...

So first things first, I am SO SO SORRY!!!! I haven't been able to log in to Wattpad in forever because of my parents! I just got on today and immediately started to continue this story! Again, sorry for the long wait.

Also, because of school, I probably wont be able to update as quickly as I usually do.

Luke's crew struck the carriage like clockwork.

Annabeth, Percy, Nico, and Estelle were thrown from their seats almost as soon as they intervened.

Annabeth could feel the carriage tipping sideways, and she grabbed Estelle's arm.

"Estelle, can you open the door?"

Estelle looked at her, wide-eyed, and Annabeth wondered why she was in the carriage with them anyway. This was no place for a twelve-year old.

The young princess nodded and reached almost above her to grab the door handle, and she opened it right as the carriage started making its final descent.

She opened it, and Nico grabbed the door frame, pulling himself up before turning around and grabbing Estelle. 

Nico looked back at Percy and Annabeth. "I'm going to assume you can get out by yourselves."

Then he turned and picked up Estelle bridal style and jumped from the carriage right before it hit the ground.

Annabeth fell back against the side of the carriage that was now on the floor, but Percy had somehow managed to stay up.

He held out his hand and she took it to pull herself up.

"Nice of Nico to leave us, huh?" Percy said, but Annabeth could tell that the pirate was joking. She ignored his comment and spoke instead.

"Do we know where they struck from?"

Annabeth looked around, trying to see where the small explosion that had hit had come from. 

Percy shrugged. "I don't think we'll be able to see it with all of the smoke. I have to go make sure everyone's okay. You stay here." And with that, Percy turned and ran. 

Annabeth stared after him for a second before scoffing. "There is no way that I'm sitting here." 

She turned and ran into the action.

Percy POV

Of course Percy knew that Annabeth wasn't going to listen to him, but it was worth a try, wasn't it?

He found Jason and Piper first, before running ahead to check for more of his crew. Sadly, he found someone else first.

Luke.

He was obviously waiting for the prince turned pirate, and the first thing that Percy thought was, It's now or never.

He charged at Luke, swinging overhead as he got closer, but his opponent dodged.

The real battle had begun.

Annabeth POV

Annabeth narrowly avoided dying, again, as she dodged around a sword and parried back with a knife she had found on the floor.

She was trying to get to Percy, or Estelle, or whoever she saw first that needed her help. She seemed to be everywhere at once. One moment with Piper, the next standing with Hazel and Jason as they teamed up against a pair of Luke's men. At one point she was with Nico, who had seemed to have dropped Estelle off somewhere safely and was trying to help some of Paul and Sally's men.
