Piece of Paper By Skylar. Daughter of Hades DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN ANYTHING! WARNING! Luke is NOT dead!
Third Person
Luke's thoughts drifted to the night. How he had escaped the fight on Olympus after Kronos' essence was sent back to Tartarus. He wished he would've died; then and there.
But no, the fates gave him a chance to fix his mistakes. But he had nothing. Luke had lost his friends, mostly Annabeth and Thalia, to their boyfriends. It had been 6 years since the fight. Sometimes, Luke even felt like he couldn't breathe.
Determined to fix his mistakes, he got up every morning. His breath, raspy from almost being sucked out of him, threatened at night to forget its pattern. He panicked that one night; he would not ever wake up.
Luke kneeled over the box of memories that he had kept all of these years. He crossed out every person that had either died or that he had betrayed. There wasn't one person left. Michael Yew; Died; Lee Fletcher; died; Castor; died; Beckendorf; died when his ship exploded; Silena Beauregard; died because of him; Ethan Nakamura; died when Kronos took over Luke's body; Percy; betrayed; Thalia; betrayed; Annabeth; betrayed; Connor Stoll; his own brother betrayed him; Travis Stoll; same as Connor; and Chiron; betrayed.
Luke fell to his knees as he let out a few tears. Silena and Beckendorf had a future. Nobody on the list was over 19. He took away so many lives. He gasped as he tried to regain his self control. He failed miserably.
Luke stood and walked over to the night stand which held backbiter. Backbiter had been bent until it was shaped into looking like a pair of scissors. The steel and celestial bronze had been cut apart. He picked up the blade and squeezed. The steel cut into his palm and blood trickled down.
Luke picked up the pathetic sword and flipped it over. It had killed so many people. And it was just about to claim its last victim. He took the celestial bronze side and pulled it once across each arm and did the same with the steel side. After 15 seconds Luke felt the effect. He gasped and fell to the ground; right next to the sheet of names. Luke then took his last breaths and gave up.
20 minutes later Nico came because he sensed a death in camp. When he found Luke's body, the sheet was barely stained with blood while he was in a pool of it. Nico picked up the piece of paper and was amazed at what he saw. He saw the names of everyone who died at camp. He caught the names of his best friend and girlfriend and they were all crossed out. But that's not what amazed him. At the bottom were 4 letters crossed out. The letters were spelled in blood; L U K E.
At camp you can now see the grave of Luke Castellan saying these exact words; Here Lies Luke Castellan; who died of guilt, shame, and pure horror. On the bed of the grave was a piece of paper, in a frame, that held all the names.
This took me a hour to write! That's amazing isn't it? I think I should write a tragedy story about Luke. I like the part about where his name is spelled in blood. What was your favorite part? REVIEW!
