Not a big fan of Luke but after writing from his point of view I feel a bit sorry for him. Song-fic based on "Sleep Alone" by Two Door Cinema Club.
Sleep Alone
Know; my only goal is to see your crumbling city fall from the sky.
So I'll hold this dream close when I sleep. And since you took the girl I loved I guess I'll be sleeping alone. So I'll hold it close to my heart, my desire getting stronger with beat and with every breath. I will see you in the morning and beware; the cracks will start forming in your city. But you won't see me; I'll be a ghost. So I'll be safe and I'll need no army, only him to guide me and to hold me close. I'll tear your palace down brick by brick from the shadows.
We, the unclaimed and unloved, we only know what we see. Is it so hard not to believe that we've never had a home, that we've never had peace of mind? We wonder why we're alive when the ones who gave us life aren't around. Why do they always hide out of sight? Are we not worthy?
And I may go to places I have never been, places that no one else would want, just to find, just to claim, the deepest desires in my mind. And there, with him, I will curse you and destroy you. I've only known what I've seen: that you hate all your children and you have never held us close. Now I'm so far from home with no one to hold me but him so I'll take it and I'll take my chances for revenge.
He sleeps alone at the moment, like me. Don't you see? He is just like me, unloved by his family. They're scared of him because he needs no army, they deny his existence because he's meant to be just a ghost and ghosts can't hurt them. But he can see them. Soon they will see him. In a way they're right: he's a ghost, only more of a poltergeist and a lot more scary.
Tomorrow I will go to those places that I fear, that no one else goes to, to claim my deepest desire; my destiny. These thoughts keep crossing my head when I sleep alone but soon I won't be alone and soon I will be just like him. In fact soon I will be him, and he will be me. This is most likely my last chance to make sense of it all. I know what I'm doing is wrong and terrible but the more I think about it the more I want it to happen, I'm too far gone in my hatred.
You, the gods, have taken everything away from me: my mother, my Thalia, my life. And you in particular, my father, where have you ever been my whole life? I've met you once before you sent me on that pointless and pitiful quest. You've never loved me or my mother, and I will make you pay. I will take my revenge on you, and your family.
Don't you see? He sleeps alone, just like me. And he knows my pain and he'll stop my pain and he'll claim my goal. Soon neither of us will sleep alone. We've got an army but do we even need them? Because we're no longer ghosts and you can see us, and we can hurt you.
And I don't know if I'll be here in the morning or if he will take my body and mind but let it be known: I was worthy.
Hope that was alright. Please review.
