The Second Chance
Chapter 1
Getting Out
Such a dark and gloomy place the Underworld is. About 1,000,000 ways to get in and only 1 way to get out. And that only way is to be reincarnated. That's not easy. But boy do I want to get out of this scummy dump of a place.
My name, Luke Castellan. Everyone in the Greek world knows me. I died a hero. Everyone thinks that the reason I died was to destroy Kronos. Wrong. The real reason I did it was to save Annabeth. I truly love her. She still supported me when I was on Kronoses side. I can still win her over. All I have to do is get ride of one person. Percy Jackson.
The moment I found out that she is dating him, that totally set me off. She's always looked up to me and then she goes and starts dating that son of Poseidon.
So I'm right about to go to the competition to see who will get reincarnated. It better be me. The person I'm up against is Charles Beckendorf. This is going to be an easy one. I mean, the person that blew up a cruise ship (I was on it but I survived it), or the person that killed the lord of time.
"Now calling Luke Castellan and Charles Beckendorf from Elysium to the Judgment Pavilion." says some booming voice.
I walk towards the gates and they open magically. This is my chance.
"This is it." I tell myself.
As I enter the tent I see Lord Hades, the furies, the fates, and my least favorite of all- Nico Di Angelo. I thought the others would be easy to please but Nico would be the hardest because he holds grudges. He will never let me pass. You need 3 out of 4 of the votes by the chosen people to get reincarnated. Hopefully I can convince the other 3.
"This Reincarnation session has begun." Says Hades.
I look to my left and see Beckendorf holding out his hand.
" Good luck." He says. I shack his hand reluctantly. Now is the time.
