NOBODY'S POV
Percy, Annabeth, and the other campers stood by the ruins of Mount Othrys. They stood in silence, mostly because the wind was wiping out any chance of hearing one another. When the wind had stopped, Percy was the first to speak.
"Well, looks like it's all over."
A Demeter camper, Jessica, looked at the setting sun. "Not all of it." She pointed
towards the shadows in the forest behind her, turning away from the sun to peer into the trees. A shadow of a tall figure moved, criss-crossing and watching them
all. The shadow walked up to them, revealing Luke Castellan, the betrayer, and son of Hermes. He sneered, then when he saw Jessica, his hands loosened their grip on his new sword, Beta. Only Annabeth and Silena had seen this sudden change. But as well, only Percy knew what the movement meant. Luke had a crush on Jessica Skye Rochester, prettiest Demeter camper, almost thought of as a daughter of Aphrodite, minus the makeup, minus the girly. She was about Luke's age, and was close friends with Thalia, and was secretly a hunter. She would not reveal it, since she had stayed at camp since she had joined. The next day, she would return to them, she would only remain a non-hunter for a few hours.
When he looked at everyone else, he sneered.
"Hello, useless campers." Everyone, even Jessica and Annabeth and Percy, looked
so offended they would've killed him then and there if he hadn't had backbiter missing. What I mean is, they were stopping in their tracks, to here him speak.
"I'm here to say, now that my master is in Tartarus once again, I have resigned
to being what you call, erm... evil."
Everyone stopped looking angry and started to laugh. Except Percy. "What makes you think we'll believe you?" he growled.
Luke shook his head, amused Percy stood out, instead of laughing.
"Perseus, Perseus, Perseus. I have proven my loyalty already. I was the one who,
after you sent the titans to Tartarus, helped the gods restore the peace and sanity
to the world after a very bloody war. They have forgiven me."
Percy heard the gods thunder in agreement.
"Fine." he smirked, and looked at Jessica.
She was looking at Luke, who in turn, looked back.
"You PROVED that?" she wondered out loud, the second to return to reality.
He nodded, and before he knew what he hit, he was kissing Jessica. She was surprised at first, then returned the favor. Her glow, which had returned, immeaditley dissappeared, as they proposed their love through one kiss, as Karri
had.
Luke pulled away, and looked at her. She smiled softly. "I love you," he murmured.
She looked around, and nodded. "Me too... I was hiding it. And when you betrayed us, I joined the hunters, nobody figured it till now."
THE FUTURE
LUKE'S POV
I watched as my wife, Jessica (Yes, I married her after college) placed our newborn child, Romana Castellan, in her cradle. She turned to me, and placed her slender body on the couch next to the window. "Bedtime." she walked over and put
her head on my shoulder, and before I knew it, she was asleep on me. I grinned happily, and carried her to our bedroom.
4 years later, we were at the hospital, invited to see Percy and Annabeth's
new addition. After this, we were going with everyone to a fancy resturant to celebrate. At this time, Romana was now 4.
We were at Silena's resturant, A la Romance, which made sense, since she was a daughter of Aphrodite. I looked at Karri and her husband, Formen, Percy, Annabeth, Chris and Clarisse(LOL all over), and finally Jessica. She smiled at me, and showed me the menu. "Better choose before I do!" she grinned wider, looking at stuff with stuff in it that I was allergic to. I sighed as her head reached my shoulder once again, so she could see what I would pick. I finally chose Vegtable Lo Mein, and she looked around at Annabeth, who was acting like a bookworm and complety absorbed in a baby name book, since she was expecting ANOTHER child.
Percy was picking at a napkin, and talking to Formen about archery. Karri was sleeping on Formen, and I was listening to Jessica talk about conservation. It was a long ride home, because Romana kept asking for icecream, and asking why I wasn't making out with "mama". Jessica kissed me lightly on the lips to shut me up before I said anything. Romana started to laugh, and Jessica was ignoring her.
Percy looked at us, amused about the kiss part. Annabeth looked murderous when he looked at a waitress, and started to drool. "PERSEUS POSEIDON JACKSON!! I WILL NOT HAVE YOU FALLING FOR THAT IDIOT WAITRESS!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
what will happen next? here's a sneak peek into the next chapter!
Everyone, including Percy, stared at her, amused. The waitress kicked us out,
and sent us all into a tunnel of love ride. I was tied to Jessica, Annabeth was tied with Percy,
and everyone else was slicing their ropes off. We were chained. My arms were around her waist, and our noses touched. Her hands were placed gently on my chest, and she was asleep. Might as well call her Mother Sleep. I looked at the Romeo and Juliet portraits on the wall, as she woke up, and as our lips touched.
