"How the hell am I supposed to look him in the eye, knowing that I may have to see the light leave his eyes soon enough? Doesn't he have the right to know that he may never see his mother in a white dress, never have a chance to give her hand to Paul? Shouldn't he have a say in how he spends the last few months of his life?" Annabeth demanded."His sixteenth birthday is less than a year away, Chiron. It's nearly certain that he is the child of the prophecy!" She concluded, her voice cracking at the end. Annabeth let the tears flow freely this time, the guilt of knowing too much heavy on her conscience.*****This tells the story behind Sally and Paul's wedding. It is set just before the winter holidays after the Battle of the Labyrinth. The quest of 'The Sword of Summer' takes place simultaneously with this story. Stays true to the book as much as possible, with a lot of added details.Second story among my series of short stories named 'Beyond the Books' but can be read as a standalone.…

*****"Don't you dare make this about yourself Luke Castellen! Family Luke! You promised me a family!!!" Annabeth cried, brandishing the dagger he'd given her close to his chin. "You're the one who withdrew into yourself when we lost Thalia. I was only seven, Luke! I had only recently run away from home, lost my family to gain you guys, and then we lost Thalia! I had absolutely no one. I needed you more than ever. But you didn't even talk to me properly for years. You abandoned me to find my own path. You're the one who took advantage of my trust in you to use my invisibility cap to steal from two of the strongest immortals in this universe, with complete disregard for my safety. You're the one who framed an innocent twelve-year old for your crimes and sent him on a nation-wide hunt for a thief he had already shared bread with, a thief he considered to be his friend. And every time we've met since then, all we've done is beg you to join us back and all you've done is attack us, trick us and hurt us. All you have done is manipulate me, use me as bait! So don't you dare victimized yourself in front of me ever again!" she warned him, tears freely flowing down her face now. ******Just a sneek-peak into one of the most intense scenes we missed in the books, when Luke meets Annabeth under the flag of truce. I'm pretty sure you'll find the rest of the book just as intense and heart-breaking as this one. The scene is set just before the camp commences in the summer the Battle of the Labyrinth took place. Stays true to the book as much as possible, with a lot of added details.First story among a series of short stories named 'Beyond the Books' , but can be read as a standalone.*****Currently on hold, but I'll continue updating this as soon as 'In Good Hands...', the second book in this series is complete. It is also a stand alone story, you might want to check that out. It is updated regularly, nearly thrice a week. ****…
