PJO Victory Is Within (Annabeth Chase X Male Reader)

Worst Family Reunion

I'm back! Thank for you all for the love and support while I was gone. We just hit 20k reads. I know I've been gone for a while, but summer is here and I'm free to work on this again. Now let's get on with the story from where we left off.

Annabeth volunteered to go alone since she had the cap of invisibility, but Percy convinced her it was too dangerous. I agreed with him since we've just seen there many types of monsters aboard this ship. Either we all went together, or nobody went. 

"Nobody!" Tyson voted. "Please?"

But in the end he came along, nervously chewing on his huge fingernails. We stopped at our cabin long enough to gather our stuff. We figured whatever happened, we would not be staying another night aboard the zombie cruise ship, even if they did have million-dollar bingo. Percy patted his pocket sighing feeling for his magical pen and the vitamins and thermos from Hermes were at the top of his bag.

 I didn't want Tyson to carry everything, but he insisted, and Annabeth told me not to worry about it. Tyson could carry three full duffel bags over his shoulder as easily as I could carry my backpack. 

we sneaked through the corridors, following the ship's YOU ARE HERE signs towards the admiralty suite. Annabeth scouted ahead invisibly. We hid whenever someone passed by, but most of the people we saw were just glassy-eyed zombie passengers. Just before we could continue on the final bit of path Annabeth stopped abruptly causing me to bump into her.

"Sorry, what happened Annabeth?" I asked

"Just before we continue Y/n I need you to promise not to do that again" She urged. "Don't attack Luke until we get as much information as we can."

 I couldn't answer right away, I was contemplating whether or not to comply, this was Luke for crying out loud. He didn't hesitate to try and kill Percy last summer, he wouldn't hesitate to hurt everyone now. She grabbed my hand making me look her in her grey pleading eyes, I scratched my head in frustration.

"Fine but," I warned "Should he lift his sword . . .I won't hesitate to attack back got it?"

"That. . .works" she said. "Thanks Lucky"

As we came up the stairs to deck thirteen, where the admiralty suite was supposed to be, Annabeth hissed, "Hide!" and shoved us into a supply closet.

I heard a couple of guys coming down the hall.

"You see that Aethiopian drakon in the cargo hold?" one them said.

The other laughed, "Yeah, it's awesome."

Annabeth was still invisible, but she squeezed my arm hard. Something about the second guy's voice was familiar. 

"I hear they got two more coming," The familiar voice said. "They keep arriving at this rate, oh, man-no contest!"

The voices faded down the corridor. 

"That was Chris Rodrigues!" Annabeth took off her cap revealing herself. "You remember-from Cabin Eleven."

Of course I remember Chris from last summer. He was one of those undetermined campers who got stuck in the Hermes cabin because his Olympian dad or mom never claimed him. We didn't talk much, but he was with Luke the entire time the day we arrived successful on our quest and the days afterwards, of course he was the one kid I didn't see again in the cabin. 

"What's another half-blood doing here?"

Annabeth shook her head, clearly troubled 

My hand clenched to fists it was clear we have another traitor. Luke has been busy this year recruiting not only monsters but even more half-bloods.
