 Get your effects auctioned

 Still, you may have to remove a piece of cabinetwork, curtains and a lot of junk you may no longer bear, if you're revamping the place.

He Can’t be Gone Forever

Annabeth’s first response to Luke’s betrayal (may deviate from canon). Takes place at the end of TLT.

Percy was alright, despite having a deadly scorpion put on him. Thankfully, some nymphs had found him before the poison had entered his blood stream and brought Percy to the infirmary where Chiron healed him. Two days later he was up and around, and he had important news to share. 

Annabeth hadn’t seen Luke since Percy showed up with the scorpion sting. She didn’t think much of it since he had been so distant lately, but what Percy told them confirmed her worst fears about the situation. Luke was the one who tried to kill him. More than that, he was the one who stole the lightning bolt, tried to start a war between the gods, and was serving Kronos. And he was gone. 

The Stolls had found his bunk made with clean sheets, a rarity in the Hermes cabin, and his backpack and sword were nowhere to be seen. There was nothing else to be said about it. They had no idea where he had gone or what he was doing, and certainly no way to stop him. Chiron appointed Travis the new head of the Hermes cabin, but everyone knew that would include his brother Conner as his partner. Annabeth had been asked to move Luke’s trunk and all his possessions into the attic of the Big House so that another kid could use his bunk.

When she entered the Hermes cabin, it was surprisingly quiet. Even at half capacity, like it was now, there was always noise and activity filling the space, but now it seemed a much more somber mood. News must have spread around camp about Luke’s betrayal, or maybe Travis thought the cabin should know. Either way, no one said a thing as Annabeth walked towards his bunk. His photos were still tacked to the wood, pictures of him with his siblings, his friends, and one taken years ago of herself, Thalia, and Luke. Annabeth tried to keep a neutral expression on her face as she took each one down and placed it on the bed, but for whatever reason, tears threatened to spill out.

“Hey,” Annabeth turned towards the sound of the voice to see Travis. He looked a lot less energetic than usual, and the mischievous grin that he often had on his face was gone. “Thanks for doing that. Chiron probably doesn’t trust us not to steal any of Luke’s goods, but like he would care, ya know?” he said, trying to lighten the gloomy mood of the cabin. “Yeah, it’s no problem. Is there anything else I should grab?” she replied. Travis tossed a sweatshirt that had been hanging off another bunk at her, which Annabeth recognized to be Luke’s University of Maine hoodie. He had wanted to go there when he was 18, but demigods living alone outside of camp didn’t usually end too well. Plus he had tons of little siblings to look after. 

“That should be it.” She gathered up Luke’s possessions and started to head out the door. “Annabeth?” Travis called, his tone much more serious than before. “If you’re not busy, I was wondering if you could give me some tips on being a counselor later. Cause I have no clue what to do. Luke had always taken care of things so well, and...” he trailed off. Annabeth understood what he meant. The Hermes cabin was a mess with crowding and kids constantly coming and going, but Luke had always managed to make it feel like family, like no matter what your parent did or didn’t do you were never alone. “Yeah, I can help you. But I think it’s alright if you don’t master the whole leader thing right away.” With that, she left the cabin and made her way to the Big House.

In the attic, the far window was open, letting the late summer air flow through the musty room. Carrying Luke’s trunk up the three sets of stairs to the attic had worn her out, so she took a moment to catch her breath. I would never have had to do this if Luke hadn’t decided to leave all of a sudden, Annabeth thought. And now Travis has to take over the Hermes cabin, and we have no one to teach sword fighting to the new campers, and no one to lead stealth missions during capture the flag, and- she kept ranting to herself about all the holes Luke had left at camp that they now had to compensate for, anger rising in her the whole time. Annabeth wanted to scream at him, make him feel bad for messing up their home like this. 

She found herself lugging his trunk towards the open window and placing it on the ledge. With an angry yell, Annabeth shoved it over the edge and watched as it fell, colliding with the ground in a loud thud. A few campers standing outside the infirmary below jumped in surprise, letting out a “watch where you throw things”. The wooden sides of the trunk had cracked, but it wasn’t enough to satisfy Annabeth’s rage. She grabbed a piece of metal at random from the junk-filled attic and stormed down the stairs. Upon reaching the trunk, she finished the job of smashing it to pieces with her weapon, which turned out to be a sturdy curtain rod. The campers from before watched in bewilderment as she mauled the box. Its lid went flying with the last blow, revealing the contents Annabeth so desperately wanted to avoid. 

She could now see a stack of orange camp shirts and smuggled snacks that had once belonged to Luke. They still do, she corrected herself. He’ll be coming back. For the past couple days, Annabeth had chosen to ignore the thought, but she couldn’t push it aside any longer. What if he never returns to camp? Sure, Annabeth was mad, but she couldn’t bear to think of someone she was so close to never being in her life again. Luke was like her brother, even before they arrived at camp they had been family. Then why did he betray camp and leave me? Another thought she wanted to push away.

Her anger had now been joined by a sad, heavy feeling as she gathered what was left of the box and its contents and carried it up to the attic, where it would stay until Luke reclaimed it. And he would be back to reclaim it, she thought. He can’t be gone forever.
