Mortal of War; Jane

Luke's POV
"Are you okay?" asked a strange voice. "Here drink some water."
The voice was female and unfamiliar; I slowly opened my eyes to catch a glimpse at her. She had black hair. It was short and curly. It reminded me of Annabeth's hair, only black.
"Who are you?" I asked. "Where am I?"
"My name is Jane, you've been stranded."
"Stranded? Where exactly am I?"
"Well, Seattle. My hometown." she said, sweetly.
"Seattle? But I live in New York."
"Well, unless the U.S.A flipped, you're in Seattle."
"Can you get me back to New York, there's something really important I have to attend to."
"Like what?"
"I can't tell you."
I couldn't tell her of the gods and half-bloods. I couldn't explain the war that was occurring as we spoke. I couldn't say that I had escaped the evil Kronos' body and fought near Percy and my father; that, in the end, I decided to save the Western Civilization.
"Well, maybe, you can tell me who Percy is? And Annabeth. Is that your girlfriend?"
"No, not really. Percy and Annabeth are my friends in New York.
"Oh, so you want to get back to them?"
I thought hard. This would be my chance to start over and live a normal life. There weren't many monsters in the upper west part of the United States. But then I remembered Annabeth, who'd loved me (as a brother) for so long; And Percy, who'd accepted me after I'd tried to kill him and his love numerous times.
"Are you okay? You seem a little troubled."
"I'm deciding whether or not to go. If I stay here, I can start over. But if I go back, I don't know what will happen to me. What he'll do to me, if he's not destroyed. What will I go home to? Ruins?"
"Ruins? Now you are scaring me, what's wrong with your home?"
"I'm about to tell you something that will sound absolutely crazy, but it's true. You know the myths of Greek mythology?"
"Yes, I am absolutely insane about mythology."
I didn't know how to tell her.
Fortunately I wouldn't have to, because out of now where his massive new body appeared. His deep never ending eyes were flooded with revenge.
"You can not hide from me, Luke Castellan, because I will find you wherever you go. You will die before you can plunge your sword through me!"
I looked nervously at Jane who was cowering behind me.
I knew he wanted to kill me, and I don't think he would leave a mortal witness. I suddenly feared for her life. She probably had a mother and father who were normal and had normal jobs and normal lives. I was chosen to help Percy kill the god of time. (Or Titan of Time; Which ever.) Percy had chosen me out of five others, one being his girlfriend, to help vanquish the Titan. And I knew that I couldn't protect the mortal and myself. I was dead already. And so was she.
End.
A/N: Like it? Hate it? I do accept constructive criticism, not flames.
In the next chapter you will found out a little more how Luke escaped and how he ended up on the other side of the country.
Thanks and keep on reading…PLEASE!
