CHAPTER XIII

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST SIX YEARS, Luke was feeling happy. Here he was, a new person, hanging out with his adoptive little sister  and his old enemy/friend/saviour/buddy, Percy.

Luke had mixed feelings about Percy. For one thing, he was happy that Annabeth had found him. He was the glue that kept her together. Without him, Annabeth would have fallen apart long ago.

But for another thing, he was rather wary of him. There were several reasons for this:

1. Percy had come very close to killing him many times. He was the one that gave Luke the knife that he killed himself with.

2. Percy was the son of one of the Big Three. He was immune to fire and lava, had control over the sea(Which covers 75% of the Earth) and could breathe underwater. He can fall 700 feet into water and be perfectly fine. He can summon hurricanes, waterspouts, earthquakes, a tsunami, you name it. And according to the grumbling monsters around Tartarus, he blew up the world's largest glacier in one minute. This guy was unstoppable. 

3. He was intimidating. His piercing green-eyes and wolf stare made you want to head to the hills screaming. No wonder people followed his orders.

Luke was snapped out of his thoughts when somebody said, "Dude. You okay? You've been glaring at that poor little pebble for like five minutes."

Luke looked at Percy, who had spoken. "Uh, yeah. Just.....thinking."

Percy, who was sitting with his back against the wall and Annabeth's head in his lap, laughed. "Dead people think?"

"Perce!" Annabeth slapped the back of his head. "That's rude!"

Percy just smiled at her, a twinkle in his eyes.

Luke chuckled. They fit together so well. "I don't mind."

"See! He gets my humour!"

"Oh, stop being a nag." Annabeth rolled her eyes.

"I am not a nag!"

Annabeth looked at him. "Oh really? Ask Rachel."

"Oooh, is little Annabeth still jealous?" Percy teased. Waves danced in his eyes.

She turned pink. "I was never jealous!"

"Oh really? 'cause-"

Luke burst out laughing. They looked at him.

"What?" They chorused.

They both looked so innocent. "You-u guys just-t argue so much, and its hilarious to watch you two!!" He broke into another fit of laughing.

"Oh, great. Another person to catch the giggle disease. First Leo, now Luke? Jeez!" Percy threw his hands in the air.

Soon, they all started to laugh. At nothing in particular.

The situation was just to weird. Wouldn't you go a little physic if you fell into and endless hell hole and met your supposed-to-be-dead friend?

Soon, they were all grasping their stomachs.

Their laughter was echoing around the chamber, untill it was cut short by a certain friend of theirs.

Missssssss me, meassssly daughter of Athena?

***AN You guys are lucky I didn't stop there. :D***

Percy froze, and mouthed to Annabeth, Arachne?

She nodded, her eyes wide in fear. Why was she so afraid? It was just another monster that wanted to eat her for dinner, with Percy for dessert. What was wrong?(Note the sarcasm)

Luke suddenly had an oooohhh moment. This was the Arachne, the first Arachnid. The mother of all spiders.

Annabeth+Spiders=Chaos.

Luke saw Percy's hand slunk towards his jeans pocket, where the infamous sword, Riptide, was being held. Annabeth dug silently through the backpack for her dagger, her hands shaking. Luke's eyes flicked to his sword, Backbiter, which was laying on the rocky ground just a few feet from Percy.

Luke was glaring into the back of Percy's head, trying to get him to turn around. Percy, thankfully, noticed. He stared at the sword for a while. His eyes lit up, and he turned and winked at Luke.

That can't be good, Luke thought. The glint in Percy's eyes was close to that of a madman's; Insane, mischievous, and downright creepy.

The enemy scuttled out of the darkness.

Luke wanted to throw up.

Arachne was the size of a compact car, with lanky legs that stretched out from her hairy abdomen. A bright red hourglass shone on her backside, and fangs sprouted from her frothy lips. A stench hung around her that made bile rise in Luke's throat.

Annabeth had fought this, this thing and won?

Luke felt pride rise in his heart for his little sis.

Luke watched as Percy rose, his shoulders held back in confidence.

"You." His voice was heavy with rage. "You hurt my girlfriend. And nobody, and I mean nobody, TOUCHES MY GIRLFRIEND!"

With that, He stomped his foot down, and a tremble shook the Earth. Luke grasped the ground with his hands as he struggled to stay standing. He briefly saw Percy yell as he grasped Riptide and began to fight the giant arachnid.

He whirled like a demon, Riptide a blur of wondrous blue. Arachne was hissing, shooting silk and poison at the Son of the Sea, but he was to fast.

Rocks rained down around them. Annabeth was on the ground, eyes wide with fear and hands trembling. Luke was watching Percy in awe. This was the first time he got to see him fight without being the one fighting against him.

He marveled the Son of Posideon's strokes. They were flowing and striking, just like waves in a storm. Luke tried to focus on Percy's style, but he couldn't because, he had no style. 'Her majesty' stood no chance.

Soon, Arachne was on the ground, missing four legs and a cold sword pressed against her neck. Percy whispered, "If you come back,"-The giant spider trembled with fear- "I will make sure that you will die another painful death. Nobody touches my girlfriend and gets away with it."

With that, his sword glowed with a brilliant blue, the power of Posidion within it's metal, and Percy stabbed it deap into the spider's chest. She howled once, and then she was gone.

The Earth stopped shaking, and Luke looked at Percy. He was shaking in exhaustion and sweat was dripping from his raven black hair. His eyes were no longer filled with rage.

He smiled, said, "Like a boss." and promptly collapsed.

:D
