Annabeth glared at Luke. "I know what you're doing."
Luke raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about Annie? We don't have much time. Percy went to go challenge Kronos alone." He said. Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Annabeth to you. And yeah I know Percy went to fight Kronos but that was all in your plan, wasn't it."
Luke immediately tensed up. "What?"
"Don't play me for some fucking fool! You tricked us all! I know all about what happened!" She said. Luke sighed. "Annie you might be mad at me but I'm on your side."
"Don't you dare call me Annie! Not after what you did! You see it took me a minute but I realized something. You slipped the poison in Silena's bag when you and Percy got here. You threatened her life and when she didn't back down you threatened Beckendorf's life!
"How could I have tricked her? And why would I do that I'm not on his side!"
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "He found you. He was going to kill you and Percy. But you shot a deal with him. You agreed to be a double agent, didn't you? To save your own fucking skin Silena Beauregard lost her life in Percy's arms. Because of you Beckendorf died in Clarrisse's arms. But as long as your safe, isn't that all that matters to you."
"I didn't do it for me. I did it for Percy. Kronos, he was going to kill him. I had to."
"How could you!"
Luke and Annabeth turned to see Nico Di Angelo with his Stygian iron sword drawn. Nico glared at Luke so hard you would have thought he was a monster he was set to kill.
"Nico don't. Luke needs to tell him himself."
Nico shrugged. "He doesn't need to. Percy, I'll leave you alone. Come on Annabeth I need you to identify a monster I killed." Nico grabbed Annabeth's arm and led her away from the scene that was about to unfold.
Immediately Percy struck the blonde in the face. "Am I just some fucking game for you Luke! You lied about changing ways! You lied about not supporting Kronos! You lied! Lie lie lie! Is the resistance even real or is everyone in it lying too!"
Luke shook his head. "I tricked them too. But you have to understand I did it for you. For us. Percy. You have to understand."
Luke earned another slap. "You did this for me! If you were thinking of me you would never have joined him the first or second time! You didn't do this for me! You did this for your fucking self! Don't lie!"
Luke stepped a little closer. "Perce its not to late. Join Kronos. Join me. We can gain immortality and be together forever. Just take my hand."
Percy Jackson took a visible pause. "Luke I-."
