Summary
The whole thing bothers her, especially because it makes her wonder what would have happened if Luke and Thalia had been the last tributes left. What then? Maybe one of them would have sacrificed themselves for the other—maybe they’d split up and let nature (or whatever grotesque mockery of it was created for the arena) take its course. Either way, Annabeth can’t possibly conceive that they’d ever really try to hurt each other.
That being said, she knows it’s not really the same with her and Percy. Up until now, he’s been an acquaintance, a friend of a friend, a person only in her periphery. And now, she shouldn’t even think of him as that, because at the end of the day, he’s just another person whose death must happen if she wants to come home alive. She doesn't want Percy to die, and she certainly doesn’t want to be the one to kill him, if it really comes down to it—but she doesn’t want to die in that arena, either.
Annabeth is always prepared for the prospect of getting reaped for the Hunger Games. She's not really prepared for whatever might happen after.
