Stella's P.O.V
I woke up I went straight into the training room and started throwing daggers at the targets when Stephanie,one of my friends, walked in looking about as happy as you can get on this ship. Ever since my brother,Luke, crawled through the depths of Tartuarous to get Kronoses remains the ship has had a lot darker feeling to it."Hey Stella," Stephanie said.
",Hey, Have you seen Luke by any chance,he told me to see him when I get up," I asked.
",I think he is in the lounge area planing something,"
",Alright, thank you,"I walked out for the Training room and went into the lounge room my favorite place on the ship. It has glass flooring so you can see straight through,Purple bean bag chairs, colorful lights, and games like Pool and carpet pool. As soon as I walked in Luke looked up from whatever he was doing,"Hey Stella,"he said.
",Hey bubba,"I yawned.
",I think I have figured out how we're going to raise Kronos," The thought of raising Kronos sent chills up my spine,"There's this thing called The Golden Fleece and it is powerful enough to heal anything," yeah,but there's a little problem with that.
",Luke, no one has ever survived getting that Fleece,"
",Yeah,but don't worry I'm not going to be getting it,"
",What do you mean,"
",I mean, Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover underwood is already on their way to get it,all we have to do is get it from them which shouldn't be that hard,"
",Can I ask you a question,"
",Yeah," I looked down honestly afraid of what he was going to say about this question.
",Why do you want to raise Kronos," I sighed.
",Our father abandoned us Stella him along with all the other Gods have children and they leave them to the world full of monsters until they learn their true identities and only some make it to Camp halfblood,The Gods need to pay for making their children go through that," He said touching the scar on his face.
",Luke that's scar is not fathers fault it's mine,"About 5 years ago when Luke and I was going to camp for the first time,a huge dragon started chasing us. Luke told me to run back to camp but I wouldn't because I didn't want to leave him and I got in the wrong way if the dragon but Luke pushed me out of the way. Luke lifted up my chin making me look at him,"Look at me,no it's not,"he said gently.
",Yes it is, if I would've ran like you told me to you wouldn't have that scar across your face,"
",Stella, if our father wouldn't of done this to us we would've never had to be put in that situation,now we are done discussing this,go and get ready to fight,we should be arriving at the island any moment to get that Fleece,"
",Yes sir," I went back into my room and grabbed my dagger and put it in my belt loop and I grabbed my sword. I could tell that we were already docked at the island so I jumped off the side of the boat landing on the ground next to Luke,Stephanie,and a couple other halfbloods.Then Percy,Annabeth, and Grover walked out of a black cave and had the Golden Fleece,"I want the Golden Fleece and I want all three of them alive,understood," he said. I nodded and me and the other couple halfbloods started running after them, the moment they seen us they pulled out their swords. I pulled out mine too and me and Percy clashed, our swords keep hitting each other until he caught me off guard and cut my upper leg making me fall and then cut my arm,"Stella,Please stop I don't wanna Hurt you anymore," Percy said.
",I'm sorry Percy," I said kicking him hard against the wall,grabbing the Fleece, and disarming him all at once. Then I grabbed his hand and twisted both behind his back tieing then together, I took Percy and the Fleece back on the boat and the others had Annabeth and Grover bringing them right behind me. We brought them into the lounge room where Luke was and he had a proud look on his face as I handed him the Fleece,"Take them down to the brick and lock them up," He ordered. I handed Percy over to Stephanie and she took him down.
",I'm proud of you Stella," Luke said and I smiled.
",Thank you,"
",Are you alright," he asked pointing to my cut arm and leg.
",I'm fine, it's just a little cut,"
",Alright, go get some sleep we have a very long day tomorrow,"
",Yes sir," So I went into my room and took a shower and then laid down for about 3 hours until I relized I'm not getting hardly any sleep.
Lukes P.O.V
I was laying in my bed half asleep when someone knocked at the door and walked in. I turned over and looked and my little sister was standing there and she look exhausted,"Hey sis what's wrong," I asked half asleep.
",I can't sleep," she said.
",You wanna sleep with me tonight,"
",Sure," she crawled into my bed,under the covers, and right next to me. Gods I love my sister so much I don't know what I would do if I lost her she is all the family I have. She turned twords me and curled up next to me going asleep, she's adorable when she sleeps.
Stella's P.O.V
I woke up still curled up against Luke and he was gently shaking me,"Hey sis wake up," he whispered,"Go get get ready, we are getting ready to go raise Kronos," I absolutely hate the idea of that.
",Alright," I yawned getting up and going into my room and putting on a purple tank top, black spandex shorts, and Niki black and white shoes. I grabbed my sword and dagger because I had no idea how this is going to turn out. I went outside and jumped to the ground next to Luke, in the middle of island was the remains of Kronos. Percy,Annabeth,and Grover was tied up next to it,"It's time," Luke said as we both walked over to Kronoses remains and Luke put the Golden Fleece on top of the sarcophagus. The day turned to night,and all the light that was there was coming from the sarcophagus. The wind started picking up and next thing I new the Sarcophagus lid blew open and hit me hard making me fly back 5 feet,ouch. Then I seen Percy started to run twords it but I grabbed his foot tripping him. He kicked my sword out of my hands and I stood up grabbing my dagger but Percy kicked me back and started running. I threw my dagger and it hit his arm,"Gods," he yelled pulling my dagger out. That gave me just enough time to get close to Percy,then I realized Kronos has risen. Kronos looked down and scooped Percy in his hand bring him up close to his huge face. I couldn't tell what they were saying to each other but next thing I knew Percy stabbed Kronos right in the heart and Kronos disappeared. He wasn't the only on who disappeared Percy,Annabeth,and Grover was no where to be found. I looked at Luke and he was pissed,"Everyone get back on the ship," he yelled. I limped all the way back on the boat and into my room sitting down on the bed, I sat down for about 2 hours until I fell asleep. About midnight I woke up to Luke coming in my room sitting next to the bed and he was freaking out,"Stella, I want you to know that I love you," he said.
",What's going on," I said. I could tell he was scared,"Luke your scareing me.
",I'm sorry for what's about to happen, stay in here,"
",Luke,Tell me what's going on,"
",I'm sorry but when the time comes you will know what to do,"He said handing me his Camphalfblood bracelet and leaving. I waited about 5 minuets and then went out and went into the lounge room, Luke was standing next to the Sarcophagus with Ethan,Stephanie,and Cameron next to him. There was something different about Luke, his eyes were not blue anymore they where golden."Stella castellan,step out," Luke said but the thing is it wasn't Lukes voice, it was more darker and deeper. I stepped out,"Your brother has done me well," That was not Luke, that's Kronos, Luke let him take over his body. Tears came to my eyes and I walked closer to him, I smacked him hard but it didn't seem to do very much. He looked at me,"Get her outta my face," he said.
",Come on," Ethan said. I walked out,"you really shouldn't have done that,"
",Well he shouldn't have took over my brother,"
",I'm sorry Stella,"
",I want out of here, now that my brothers gone I have nothing here," I had tears running down my face.
",Then do it,"
",What do you mean,"
",Get our of here but don't let anyone see you,"
",Thank you," I ran and jumped off the ship and started running and running not looking back. I traveled for about 3 miles until 2 hellhounds jumped out of no where.I grabbed my dagger and started running, one of the hellhounds bite my arm making me drop my dagger and I fell to the ground. The hellhound keep bitting me until someone chopped its head off and the other one ran off. I looked at the person and it way Percy Jackson,"Percy," I said.
Percy's P.O.V
I heard someone scream that I know all to well,Stella castellan. Even if she has tried to kill me I had to help her she sounded scared. I ran to where she was and chopped the head off the hellhound that had ahold of her arm and the other one ran off. Stella looked at me,"Percy," she said. She looked pitiful,Her clothes were ripped, she looked exhausted, and you could tell she's been crying.
",Stella, What happened to you," I asked.
",Luke, Kronos tricked him and took over Lukes body," she started crying even more. I ran down and hugged her,"Why did you save me after all the stuff that I did to you,"
",Because you used to be my best friend,the love of my life, I know you the only reason you stayed with him is because you guys are the only family you've got,"
",Why are you trusting me,"
",Because now that's Luke is gone you want to bring him back, I know you have good in you,you want to take down Kronos as much as I do,"She started crying even more and I keep hugging her,"Come on let's go, I'm taking you back to camp," I picked her up because she looked way to exhausted to walk. I carried her all the way to camp and I laid her down in my bed and she immediately fell asleep. I went out and Chiron and Dionysus was standing there,"Why are you trusting her," Dionysus asked.
",Because I know her, she has good in her, the only reason she stayed with Luke is because Lukes the only family she has,and he's gone now,"
",I hope your right,"
",I am, He's coming to the island next to us tomorrow I'm sure Stella can help us,"
",Alright," I went back in my cabin and went to sleep. I woke up and Stella was sitting up on the bed,"Hey you felling better," I asked.
",Yeah, a little bit," she said. ",
",We need your help,"
",With what,"
",Saving Luke, if anyone can do it it's you, your brother loves you more than anything,"
",Alright, ill do it," Then Annabeth walked in with some clothes and handed to Stella.
",Here are some clothes," she said.
",Thank you," Stella's said. Then Annabeth walked out and so did i.
",Get ready stella, then we can go get your brother,"
Stella's P.O.V
We finally got to the island I was ready to take Kronos down especially now that he took over Luke. We seen Kronos standing up there and he was ready to fight,"I'm going after Kronos,"I said.
",No Stella, it's way to dangerous," Percy said.
",If there's any chance of Luke being saved I'm the only one who can do it,"
",I don't like this but your right,be careful," I started running twords Kronos and when I got close I stopped.He looked at me with so much hatred, it hurt to see my brother like this.
",Luke, Please Stop this," I cried. Kronos walked down and got close to me.
",Silly girl, Luke is gone and there is nothing you can do about it," Kronos said and then he hit me hard making me go flying into a wall. I stood up and smacked him but it didn't do anything,he grabbed me by the kneck and started chocking me.
",Luke please," Kronos threw me down on the ground. He grabbed a sword and held it above his head but then dropped it, and pulled back,"Stella," Luke said. It's wasn't Kronoses voice this time it was Lukes,"I'm sorry,I'm trying to stop him,"
",Luke it's okay,"
",I'm not going to be able to hold him very long,You know what your going to have to do," He's right I did.
",No, I'm not going to do it," Tears started flowing down my face.
",You have to,"
",No,"He grabbed me and pulled me in hugging me tight and then handed me a dagger.Then he smacked me hard a I feel to the ground dropping the dagger,Kronos took back over. As much as I didn't want to do this I had to, it was the only way. I grabbed the dagger and rammed it into his stomach and everyone looked at me and him shocked. Kronos turned back into Luke,he grabbed the dagger and pulled it out dropping it and falling back on the ground but I caught him. I started bawling even more,"Luke, I'm so so sorry," I cried grabbing his hand and he grabbed mine back.
",No,I'm sorry I hurt you,"
",I can't loose you,"Then Percy ran over beside of me.
",I love you Stella and Percy, Me,Ethan,and all the unclaimed, don't let it happen again,"With that he stopped squeezing my hand and let out his last breath.
",Stella,I'm so sorry," Percy said.
",Don't be,Its the way it has to be," I said standing up wiping the tears off my face.
",Stella," I heard someone say. I turned around and my father,Poseidon,Zeus, and Ares where standing there. I turned back around because I did not want to see them right now especially my father. The three furries came and took Lukes body away, and I walked away by myself because I needed some space."Stella please talk to me," my father said.
",Why," I asked,"You've never wanted to talk before,"
",Because I care about you and Luke very deeply," he said. That's it,
",YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ETHER ONE OF US,YOU NEVER HAVE, NOW BECAUSE OF YOU LUKE IS DEAD AND HE HAD TO PERISH BY MY HAND, I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT I HAD TO DO TO HIM, YOU ABANDONED US," I Yelled. Everyone and every God looked at me with shock that I just raised my voice to a God.
",I think we should give you to some privacy,"Poseidon said and everyone walked out, I sighed realizing that was very disrespectful.
",I'm sorry father,I shouldn't have raised my voice at you,"
",It's alright, I deserved it, your right I abandoned you,I will never forgive myself,but I had to Zeus won't let us see our children very often." I'm not sure what happened but my temper went through the roof. I stormed out of the room to where Zeus and everyone else was,"REALLY,WHY ZEUS, YOU WONT LET THE GODS SEE THEIR CHILDREN,THATS MESSED UP," I yelled and not be honest I didn't care at the moment I was raising my voice to a God.
",Stella calm down," Percy said.
",DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME TO CALM DOWN,ALL THESE YEARS I HAVE BEEN BLAMEING MY FATHER FOR THIS BUT ITS YOUR FAULT NOT HIS, YOUR THE REASON MY BROTHER IS DEAD," I started crying,"IM GOING BACK TO CAMP," I ran back into Percy's cabin and sat down on the bed putting my head and my hands and cried even more.
",Dude, you just yelled at 2 Gods, you are the most craziest girl I've ever met," Percy said walking in and sitting down next to me,"Are you okay,"
",I just lost my brother Percy, the only person I had left in my family,"
",I'm so sorry, i know your upset but you need to calm down,"
",Percy, I just want everything to go back to the way it was before I joined Luke, Before we broke up," I said and then he did something I didn't expect him to do,he kissed me.
",I'm willing to go back to old times,"he said Kissing me again.
