Percy and I pushed our backs behind a tree waiting to pounce on the Ares kids, we were certain we'd win this game of capture the flag. The odds were in our favour as we heard a few twigs snapping, Percy waited for my signal as I held up three fingers 'one' I mouthed putting one finger down 'two'... 'three' we charged clashing our swords with the face in the dark which was strange because I expected there would be more.
Then I realised something, the soldier that we were up against was decked out in normal cloth a blue unbuttoned flannel, long black pants that would have been completely unseeable if it weren't for the torches beam behind him and the same black shirt.
I gasped as he began slashing at Percy knocking me to the ground, I knew exactly who he was, his blonde sandy hair and the scar that ran from one side of his face "Luke?" I murmured, blinking in terror.
I regained my strength as I got up and began backing up Percy, I knew It! I knew it! He was alive and he looked better than ever, how? I and Percy connected the shoulder to shoulder pointing our swords towards Luke but of course, that didn't bother him, he began clanging his sword with ours not missing a second to try and take us down. I was losing my strength to fight more, but I pushed myself for Percy's sake, why was he here, it's winter at its worst and he believed it was a perfect time to attack, my mind got a dreadful wave of pain faster then Zeus can strike lightning as the thought of Luke's army was already attacking the camp, of course, they'd take us down when we least expect it. Luke jabbed at Percy's chest faster then we both could react as his sword shattered between his ribs
"Percy!" I screamed wanting to drop everything, but once again Luke surprised me grabbing onto me using a cloth to block out my screams."Quiet Annabeth" He hissed. I ignored him, dropping my sword to get his grip away from my mouth, but it was too much I tried to drop down to the ground but Luke also dropped his weapon to use his now free hand to grip on my waist stopping me from any way out, tears welled in my eyes as I looked to my side,
Percy was dying I could see him trying to block his wound,"Le... good- her" he tried to stand up, but he crippled to the ground.
"You want him to live Annabeth" Luke whispered into my ear, I was so confused and scared at the same time I nodded furiously, trying to squeal. Two Demigods that looked familiar came marching up with Wintered coats under there armour, they rolled Percy onto his back, he moaned in pain
"Annabeth" he stuttered "run" they just stand next to his dying body, he started spitting out his own blood,
"Help him!" I tried to scream but my words were muffled, tears streaked down my face, Luke motioned his head to the direction of the camp the men nodded as one of them dragged his body forward, Luke through me over his shoulder releasing his hand from my mouth as my screams were released, roaring of an army charged in the direction of the camp "No" I screamed even louder, Hellhounds charged first, Demi-gods behind the beasts decked out with the best force armoury and the rest of Luke's monster army was charging, with terrifying smiles as they waited for bloodshed.
Our fellow demigods (from camp), joined together shaken for the fight, they readied themselves with what they had from the capture the flag game. This isn't how I wanted it, Chiron where's Chiron I circled my vision for him "Inside the borders!" Chiron shouted charging to the half-bloods in centaur form, the campers instantly followed his instructions as they raced for safety, the monsters growled and hissed at the hero's protection banging there claws and fists at the barriers. This didn't stop Luke's Demigods as they sprinted past the hellhounds aiming their swords towards the campers, Grape vines sprouted from the ground as it tangled the soldiers, some slashed the unbreakable vines with there swords as the rest acted like blind mouses pretending there swords were a princess in distress.
Dionysus yawned in boredom sitting at a chair watching the 'so-called fight' he'd say, from a distance. I heard Luke huff like he was disappointed I guess thing didn't go his way, that made me smirk a little behind his back *literally*. "Fall back" he yelled,
"They didn't put up a fight you hoped for?" The man beside the other guy dragging Percy grinned,
"Those camp half-bloods are cowards" Luke sighed "ow well at least we don't need to deal with cleaning blood off armour" he wickedly laughed. Then it hit me, Luke was disappointed that the campers didn't put up a fight is that what didn't go his way? I looked up at the man
"Enzo?" I shattered I remember him as the son of Apollo, his aim was good but he was never decided the best, I remember I was 9 when I saw the day he was claimed after the first shot his first arrow aiming it into the middle of the target.
"So you got her?" He grinned again starring at me as I tried to claw at him.
" Enzo be helpful and get Percy off the ground, we might need him alive" Luke scolded him, flashing devil eyes that freaked Enzo out a little, he went over to Percy who was being dragged by the hands of someone I still unrecognised, he picked him up by the legs so Percy's was no longer being dragged on the dirt.
"Let us go, Luke!" I spat, trying to wiggle out of his grip, but he got me to stand on the ground and ended up dragging me by my arm, I staggered back trying to stop myself from walking,
"Annabeth" Luke growled, Enzo and his friend froze in their steps as they looked at me like I was stupid.
I quickly thought of something "I'm not going anywhere until Percy is healed" I ordered, He titled his head not even blinking,
"I'm not taking orders from you, hurry up or I'll end him"
"You need him alive" I warned him
Luke let out a careless laugh that made my skin crawl "do I really?" My brows knit together questioning what he meant "did you forget about that boy, what's his name again... Nico."

22/6/2017 release dateSo, Luke and Annabeth's relationship always interested me, and I want to explore it at a different angle. I love Percy and Annabeth-obviously- so percabeth is important in this story. Anyway, there are not many Fanfics about these two. So I kinda wanted to write my own, I hope you enjoy.
Also I always imagined Luke younger, then he actually is in the books. So in this fanfic he's around 2-3yrs older then Percy and Annabeth.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson series majority of it belongs to Rick Riordan
This is just a fan 'that's me' fiction 'it's not really apart of the novel Fanfiction.*This is based off after Percy Jackson and the Titans Curse*
