Percy POV

I stared at her lifeless body. I didn't know what I should be doing now.

I let my emotions take control and I found myself screaming Annabeth's name over and over again. 

Tears sailed across my face but I didn't care.

I fell on my knees, holding her hand and crying into her chest.

A hand tried to pull me away but I just shook it off and kept close to my Wise Girl.

My smart, beautiful Wise Girl.

Her corpse glowed, even though she was pale.

A voice filled my head a second later as a soothing hand fell on my arm, slowly tugging at it.

" Percy, come on. Let Will finish up" 

It was Piper.

Her face was tear stained and her eyes were red and puffy. 

She used immense amount of charmspeak to pull me away.

But I didn't want to leave. I wanted to stand by my Wise Girl, taking her in every second.

I didn't know how it happened, but I was suddenly outside the infirmary , looking at camp.

I felt my knees buckle and I fell to the grass, shouting as my brain didn't believe that she was gone.

gone from the world.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked at the person kneeling in front of me.

Sea Green eyes, the same as mine, were looking at me with determination.

" Look, I don't know what to tell yo-me, ugh, ok you. I never thought that I would care for her like that. Not that I'd ever want her to die." My past self told me.

I didn't know what to make of the situation. 

My past self was consoling me.

I was consoling myself?

I noticed for the first time that a pair of soft grey eyes were also looking at me.

Annabeth's past self was also kneeling down in front of me.

I didn't care that it was her past self.

There were the stormy grey eyes that I'll never see again.

The princess curls that I'll never be able to touch.

Why did she have to be poisoned.

She was poisoned.

I stood up. I looked from one person to another. I looked at Luke, who had a hint of guilt in his eyes. I didn't know what type if guilt, but everything about him screamed that this was his fault.

I didn't think straight.

I started down towards Luke, who looked abashed that I was running down to him like a hurricane. Blood roared in my ears, I didn't hear the questions my friends asked, I didn't hear the questions on how Annabeth was doing. I just ran towards the bastard.

"What is WRONG WITH YOU!" I bellowed at him, grabbing him by the color.

Luke looked taken aback, as he tried to get out of my grip.

"WHY DID YOU DO IT? WHY DID YOU POISON HER? i THOUGHT YOU CARED FOR HER!" I kept of shouting to him.

Luke didn't meet my eyes. He didn't even deny that it was him. The look of Guilt was unmistakably present in his eyes.

" She...she, she Hated me !" Luke stuttered.

" WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO HATE YOU! BUT WE DON'T! AND ANNABETH IS THE FIRST TO FORGIVE YOU!" I shouted at him, shaking him violently.

" She chose you!" Luke said, looking at me.

" BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO END HER LIFE SO PAINFULLY!" I screamed. I couldn't believe we were have this conversation with him right now.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Piper yelled at him. " YOU CAN'T FORCE SOMEONE TO LOVE YOU!" 

Luke had an unreadable expression on his face. Guilt, anger, sadness, betrayal, all swirled in his eyes.

I wanted to end his life right there.

As painfully as possible.

I was about to punch him when a voice stopped me.

" Stop!" 


HAHAHAHAHAHAH! CLIFF HANGER!!! Lol, I wrote 2 chapters today! that's good ig. I wonder who the person is who stopped Percy from ending Luke's life. Any guesses? Is Annabeth really dead? I wonder. Hmmm. 

LOL I'LL LEAVE YOU AT THAT CLIFF HANGER FOR A WEEK! maybe I won't. Who knows?
