Hello hello lovelies how are you

Here is what we have all been waiting for(: (well except for me)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Percy POV (lol imma make you wait longer)

I was peacefully sleeping with Annabeth by my side, well on top of me more like. I woke up to complete darkness, and noticed Hm; Annabeth is no longer on top of me, or by my side for that matter. I was still half asleep so I didn't register that she was gone right away.

But when I did, my heart stopped. I stood up and uncapped Riptide in a blur and frantically strained my tired eyes to see something in the dark. It must've been two in the morning.

I saw nothing, just empty strawberry field expanding over the ground. No sign of Annabeth. I tried to calm down remembering how tough Annabeth is. And plus, we're in camp; she must've just gone back to her cabin. It worked a little, but I have an extreme sense of protectiveness over her.

I began to walk towards the rest of the camp with no regard for our picnic basket. I was careful not to step on the winding green stems; the Demeter kids give me a heck of a time if I do.

I walked past the woods, and I had a strange suspicion that she was in there somewhere. I don't know why, but my gut was tugging me in that direction. So I followed my instinct, what would it hurt to check?

I trudged through the fallen brush and listened carefully. I heard the giggles of some of the night-owl nymphs, and then I heard something else that caught my, uh, ear. Voices.

I listened closely, following the sound of the whispers. It sounded like a male and a female, but I couldn't be sure. As the voices grew louder I could tell it was definitely a girl and a boy. And the girl was definitely Annabeth. Who was the guy though?

My feet were light, and I attempted to avoid any branches, I didn't want to make an unwanted appearance. I heard the voices so close that I could tell they were near, in fact I could hear them coming from behind the boulder about ten feet in front of me.

I crept to it stealthily, and hid behind it. I poked my head around ever so slightly, and I saw a flash of blonde: Annabeth. Then I noticed who she was talking to.

Luke Castellan, Son of Hermes. Aid to Kronos.

"Annabeth?" I said incredulously. Her head whipped around and her eyes widened when she saw me.

"Percy! How did you find me?" she asked.

"I woke up and you were gone, I just wandered around the forest until I found you here with, with, with him!" I pointed my sword at him in indication, scowling at his memorable scar running down his face.

"Percy, listen to me. Listen to me!" she screamed as I started to walk toward him. I looked at her impatiently. "He's different now! He's better! He turned back to our side, he told me himself!"

"How long have you been here with him Annabeth? Are you crazy?!" I yelled and then turned to Luke. "And you," I spat, "There's some holes in your story. You can't just up and leave Kronos' little coven. He would kill you before he let you do that."

Luke spoke for the first time, "I had to fight my way out, and I'm not safe anywhere else but here at camp. Kronos can't get me here. He's looking for me always, and will be, but I came here knowing that I would be my safest."

I didn't believe him for one second. All I could see when I looked at him was him trying to raise Kronos, and all the things he had ever done to me. "You believe him Annabeth? How could you still trust him after all that he's put you through?"
