Life sucks and then you die. Not comforting but true. I can only hope that someone out there understands, someone knows the pain. I looked into those grey, soft eyes and had to deal with the fact that im hurting her. Im hurting her and thalia to a point in which death seems better than to continue looking in their eyes. Head up i chanted in my mind keep going or its all over. Everyone thinks of me as THAT boy. You know the one, never truly sane. A ticking time-bomb. Kronos took that moment to seize my mind in its weakness. 'you see, boy. you are always going to be weighed down like your farther before you'
'Do NOT mention him' i growled back. My only reply was a short hiss with a small chuckle afterwards. Silence. True bliss.
"Luke. Are... are you... okkkk" before annabeth could finish her voice caught. She was fighting a sob. I put my arm protectivley around her trembling shoulders. "sssshhhhhh" i soothed her. Thalia looked me up and down "luke we're here for you. Hermes was out of line"
I gave a sharp nod of my head. To thalia and annabeth i was emotionally unstable. To kronos, i was just what the war needed. A boy with anger. A boy who could turn the god's tide.
"Can we go to sleep? Please? Fighting the hard-skinned lion (a/n please remember that in those days they didnt have enough knowledge on monsters to realize it was called a neamen lion) really has me knackered"
"Okay" she relented "But we're here for you if you need to talk". Annabeth mumbled an agreement and without further ado, she slipped onto the ground and fell asleep. Thalia looked at me again and I felt a shiver go through me. If only you knew i thought if only.
