Mistakes he made- Meeting Luke Castellan Part 1
You could say that the first time Lydia met Luke, she threw herself at him. Literally.
It was during a game of capture the flag, and 16 year old Luke Castellan found himself moving through the woods alone. He'd taken out a guy a 10 minute walk from here, and with a smirk, Luke guessed that the Dionysus kid was not going to be getting up very soon.
However, his self assurance was short lived when he heard definite footsteps behind him, only to turn around to nobody.
Maybe a magical item, Luke thought to himself, and then checked the laces on the shoes stolen from Hermes. He hated to admit it, but the winged shoes were always a use to him, helping him win fights and pull pranks, but make quick escapes too.
And then, out of nowhere, a girl knocked Luke straight to the ground, falling with him. At the impact, all of his breath whooshed out of him like an unknotted balloon, and the girl thudded to the ground beside him.
Unfortunately, she got back up in a matter of seconds and had her sword pointed to Luke's throat. Now, Luke had always taken a liking to sword fighting as soon as he started camp, and he was good at it. He could beat this girl.
But he was somewhat sidetracked when he saw who it actually was. He always looked for this girl around camp. At the sword fighting practice, at archery, at dinner. Luke had an crush on her.
Annabeth always told him off for being 'stalky' towards this girl, and Luke would retort by telling the 9 year old that an Athena girl should know that 'stalky' was not a word.
This girl was so pretty, she could've of been an Aphrodite child, in Luke's opinion. Rich, chocolate hair, with bright hazel eyes. Tanned skin. She came to camp last year, her eyes fierce and blazing, striding in with a vial of green blood in one hand and a sword in another.
As soon as she passed through the magical borders, she was claimed. The campers all thought the same thing. Apollo must have been very proud of this one.
Despite watching this girl sometimes, he never did know her name. But here she was, right in front of him. That same look in her eyes, and looking as beautiful as ever. And Luke wanted to impress her. So he grabbed his sword, disarmed hers and kicked up into the air, the wings on his shoes flapping.
"Hey! Come back down here!" She yelled.
Her voice was lovely, musical. How fitting when her father was God of Music. It was expected.
What Luke didn't expect was for her to bend her knees and launch into the sky too. She actually managed to slap him in the face before she fell down.
So that's the 1st Chapter ^_^ If you've read my one-shot, s/8411368/1/Mistakes then you'll know that this chapter is set when Luke first meets Lydia, and waaay before Percy came to Camp Half-Blood. I wanted to show what Luke was like before he became corrupted and bitter, when he was a normal, carefree teenager.
I hope you all enjoyed it, and please review with some constructive criticism so that I can improve! Part 2 of Meeting Luke Castellan will be up soon!
