Demigods travel to the past

Alive and Alright

Annabeth POV

Percy was holding Luke by the color. One punch would lead to another, then another, and a whole fight would start.

I left Nico's shoulder as I stumbled down towards the both of them.

" Stop!" I didn't have enough strength in me to shout, but I managed to make myself heard.

Everyone turned their heads towards me in shock.

People were gaping at me, but I didn't care. I needed to break the fight before it started, I didn't want any of them to get hurt.

Percy turned his head towards me, his sea green eyes slowly filling with shock.

He let go of Luke's color, slowly turning to face me.

I started at him with a small smile in my face.

He slowly started to pace, picking up speed as he reached me as he held me in his hands and hugged me tight. His head in my color bone, which was now wet from tears.

He looked down at me as I looked up. He couped  his right hand in my cheek and slowly pulled me into a soft yet passionate kiss. 

It was small, but filled with so much love, and desperation, as he kept on kissing me. His lips had the taste of salt and he smelled like the ocean.

Slowly, he pulled away and connected out foreheads together.

" Annabeth, don't ever do that to me again." He whispered, looking at me with his gorgeous sea green eyes.

" I won't." 

" ANNABETH!" Thalia ran towards me and pulled me into a hug. She squeezed so hard, I could barely breath.

She pulled away and smacked my shoulder.

" Don't ever do that again!" Thalia shouted at me.

" Ow! Ok Ok Thales, jeez" I reply with a small laugh.

I turned to Luke, who looked relieved yet guilty.

" I know it was you Luke." I muttered. he looked up at me. Luke was way older than me, But right then, I was the close to the same age as him.

" Annabeth-" Percy called, but I shut him up with a small peck of the lips.

" Let me handle this" I whispered to him. He looked uncomfortable but nodded in agreement.

I turned back to Luke. 

" Why Luke? I thought you wanted to protect me? " I asked in a soft voice, but my eyes probably looked thunderous.

Luke didn't meet my gaze, he kept his eyes focused to his feet.

" I.. it's just that...you chose him." Luke stuttered, trying to find words.

" You were jealous?" My past self looked at Luke. Luke didn't meet her gaze as well.

" Luke, I love Percy a lot. He's always been there for me, We even went to Tartarus and back." Everyone gasped at that. My past self looked at me like she couldn't believe her eyes.

" Yo- you what?" Luke stuttered.

" We went to Tartarus and back. If Percy wasn't there, I wouldn't last one minute there." I replied. I knew my face was red, but I didn't care. I never got to express this to Percy directly. And I didn't mind telling people how much I loved him.

People now looked at the both of us in awe. It was pretty hard to believe though. 

" Luke, because my heart belongs to someone else, you can't try to end my life." I sighed after a few seconds of silence.

" I- I'm sorry" Luke murmured.

Percy looked like he was going to explode. He took a step towards Luke, but I put a hand on his chest.

He looked at me with a pleading look, but I just shook my head.

" Luke, I loved you in the past." I said, looking at my past self who turned cherry red at that moment.

Luke looked over to my past self, who looked away from him, hiding the immense blush on her cheek.

" But I don't anymore. You chose to betray the camp, and I realized how wrong I was." I continued in a calm voice.

" Percy was with me from my first quest. And I will be with him until my last breath. No one can break us apart, even Tartarus couldn't. I'm sorry Luke." I finished.

Luke looked a bit stung, but nodded.

I looked over at Percy, who had tears threatening to fall from his eyes. He looked at me with a small smile. 

I walked over to him and wrapped him in a hug. He meant so much to me, and I needed him then. I breath in his ocean scent and soothing warmth. 

He held me as well. Tightly, close to him, as if he never wanted to pull away.

He pulled away, but kept his hands on my waist, and I put my hands on his neck.

he slowly leaned in, almost closing the gap between us.

" NO PDA IN FRONT OF KIDS! EVEN YOUR PAST SELVES WILL BE SCARD IF THEY SAW YOU REALLY GETTING INTO IT!" Leo interrupted while screaming his head off and pretending to cover his eyes.

I slowly pulled away and Percy gave me a wink, that indicated ' later'.

I looked over at my past self and knelt down.

" Hey, don't fret about the future, ok? You might ask me again, ' why Percy'.  but time will show you how much he means to us." I told her quietly.

She looked at me, then nodded and looked over at Percy, who was talking to his past self.

" The future is filled with pain, as a demigod's life is never easy. But you have your friends and family. Don't give up Ok?" Percy assured his past self. 

We got up.

A younger Selina came over to us. I try to hold it together for the sake of her. She didn't need to know. 

She looked at Percy dead in the eye and said 

" When are you proposing?" 

Percy turned into a tomato red, and I'm pretty sure I mirrored that face. 

" Soon." Percy said with his famous lopsided grin.

I snapped my head to look at him, and he repaid me with a wink.

A golden light erupted near each one of us and I looked at my past self and gave her an encouraging smile. 

She looked a little confused at first then smiled and nodded.

Just like that, we were back. My hang linking Percy's.
