I now know Luke needs to be stopped. I saw him after breakfast cornering Octavian in the bathroom. Luke had a knife. Octavian had a gun. Luke got up and left. Now they are out to kill each other.

________________________

I can't kill him. I just can't. I'm not a killer.

Right now we are in the bunker, listening to Rachel lecture us about some capture the flag paintball thing. But my mind is going elsewhere.

I look over at Annabeth and see her long blond curly hair falling gracefully over her shoulders. I don't realize I am staring until I get a hard elbow from Thalia.

We have become friends ever since the fights. We had a lot in common, and we found out that we are cousins. So if that Nico kid. We are all cousins. That Nico kid scares me though. He can really pack a punch, and during the fights I caught him staring at me.

He's probably just analyzing whether or not he is gonna kill he or not.

Right?

I look away and just look down at my hands.

I wonder how it would feel to really kiss Annabeth. Like full on make out kiss. Like-

"Percy Jackson! I asked you a question! Where are we going for capture the flag in one hour?" She asks me. It reminds me of my old teacher in Candor, when she used to call someone out if they are not paying attention.

"Uh...um....uh....I don't know?" I say.

"Correct! You don't know yet. Next time stop staring at the ladies though," she catches my eye and glares, and I blush. I hear giggles and snickers.

"Now, load up and get on the train! Now!" She yells. Everyone rushes into the gear room and grans a paint ball gun. I'm just going with my instincts on this game. Everyone grabs some armor, and it feels good on me. I grab a helmet too and we run hopping onto the train. Everyone stands up ready, as Rachel lectures us on where we will have our bases.

She has brought Ethan along with her.

Fun.

"Alright losers! We're gonna be splittin' into teams! Ima captain, and Rachel's a captain. I choose Luke!" He calls. Luke smirks.

"Alright, Octavian!" Rachel calls.

"Piper!"

"Leo!"

"Travis!"

"Annabeth!"

"Hazel!"

"Percy!"

"Selena!"

"Thalia!"

"Calypso!"

"Connor!"

"Katie," Ethan sighs. Katie walks shyly over to his side. Ethan is obviously not happy with his team a lot.

I am with Rachel, along with Leo, Annabeth, Thalia, Octivian, and Connor. We all stand in our groups for the rest of the ride. I glance at Annabeth and she smiles a small smile. Then Luke looks over and her face resumes to normal. I frown.

I'm doing a lot of frowning today.

The train slows to a stop. We all jump out and hit the ground running. We run to what seems like a park in dauntless area. There is a ferris wheel and some old rides. Too old to be used. The two groups separate and we are shown our base.

"Alright, this game is like war. The other team is your enemy. Ethan has never lost, and this is the night! Now all of you make a plan, because this is your game and not mine," Rachel says walking away.

There's a groan from everyone, but I zone out as Annabeth tells everyone where to go and what to do. I think it seems like a perfect plan because Annabeth made it, but I don't even know what it is. I am staring at her beautiful hair and luscious locks of blond curls....

"Percy! I said your coming to do scouting out the area! Follow me then I have to get off to offense!" She says. Everyone disperses and Annabeth leads me around the park. It's full of tons of rides. I run up so I'm beside her.

"Annabeth, Wise Girl, what's up with you and Luke?" I ask. She winces.

"It's a long story-"

"No it's not. I talked to Piper and she told me a few nights ago. Your in an abusive relationship she told me," I say quietly. Annabeth stops walking. I grab her hand. She flinches at the gesture.

"It's okay Wise Girl. I'm here and I will protect you. I love you Annabeth Chase. Your amazing and I would never hurt you. Okay?" I say pulling her closer. She nods with tears in her eyes.

"L-L-Luke will kill me. He will..." she trails off. I pull her into a hug.

"I know. I've watched him murder. He must of murdered Sammy. And he tried to murder Octavian. I saw it. Piper told me everything. Okay Wise Girl?" I say. She nods. We pull away from our hug and stare into each others eyes. I lean in and close my eyes, and our lips meet. We kiss for what seems like forever. I love her. We pull away gasping.

"I love you Percy Jackson, Seaweed brain. Nothing can ever come between us," she says. She says it with confidence, all worry about Luke gone.

Suddenly, there is a rustling in the bushes. Annabeth and I ignore it and kiss again. She makes my world complete.

"Hey! Who are-oh....." I hear call and they step out of the shadows. They smirk.

"Why you two are so cute! I knew it! Percy and Annabeth!" I hear Thalia say. This is not like her.

"Has Piper done something to you?" I saw. She shakes her head no and just grins.

"I'm just happy that my cousin and my friend have gotten together at last! Piper told me all about Luke-everyone but him knows now-and he's gone and you ADORABLE!" She yells. We shush her and she sprints off firing paint balls into the air, and they rain down like fireworks.

"We should....um....get going. I need to get on offense and you can do scouting. All you need to do is hit enemies when they cross the border of trees Thalia came from, okay Seaweed brain?" She smiles. I hear rustling in the bushes and she sprints off. I hide in some other bushes peeking out and my gun sticking out ever so slightly.

I see Piper standing there glancing around and pointing her gun in every direction.

I hit her in the chest three times. Now she's out. I think we may win this. Then I saw him.

I wasn't sure if it was to soon to hope, because our flag was in the spot I saw him heading to. Luke. He was sliding in and out of the shadows like a ninja, and his expression brightens as he sees the flag posted on top of the tilta whirl. But this tilta whirl does not look like your typical teacup little kid one. It's made of red metal and looks like it goes extremely fast.

I see Luke starting to climb on top of one of the metal seats on it, and he jumps up and down to reach the roof. I creep out of my hiding spot in the bushes. I slowly walk towards him until I have a good target.

His butt.

I fire three times.

None of the shots hit him.

He turns his head and yells. "JACKSON!" He keeps attempting to climb and is almost all the way up. He had opened the fence gate and it was open. He could escape if I weren't to....

I sprint forward slamming the gate shut and hit the lock button. He glances at me but continue to try and reach the roof. I see any time now he could reach it and pull himself up.

I sprint and everything seems to happen in slow motion. This thing is so rust I don't even know if this is gonna work. Luke seems to jump in slow motion and his fingers start to curl around the edge of the roof.

I slap the red button and the tilta whirl gears into motion.

Luke's grip slips and he fall onto a now spinning very fast tilta whirl. His hand grip the side of the tilta whirl as it spins at around 100 miles per hour, and I hear screams echoing from him. Suddenly he lets go and send up on the bottom of the tilta whirl, where he is repeatedly hit by passing seats-all metal. He yells probably for help, but I laugh.

Who knew being cruel to the ones you hate could be so fun. Maybe Annabeth would see now....

I heard a slap as Luke's body hit the pavement from being flung off.

He lays on the ground groaning and muttering curses. You can tell he can't see properly. I see my whole team running towards me and him. They all stop above him staring wide eyed and looking at the spinning tilta whirl. It is all a blur.

"The flag is no where. We've never been able to find it. Ethan always finds a spot that we can't......" Rachel is over here watching talking about the greatest hiding spots Ethan always has. Our flag is bright yellow, their is red.

I bend down and punch Luke in the face.

"Percy!" Rachel cries. "That's not the way to play!" Rachel says. I hear mutters but a grin from Annabeth. She must of seem what I saw. I reach into Luke's Pocket of his gun sack. I take out the gun. And shoot as many bullets as I can. Until a small red ball-a crumpled up piece of glowing red fabric-shoot out and land on the ground as the full glowing flag.

"Bam," I say, "we win."

Hey guys this was just a fun little chapter that took me forever, hope you enjoyed it!

I laughed when Luke was spinning around super fast😂😂
