Ch. 1- Have Me or Lose Her?
"Hello Percy," Luke greeted.
"You!" Percy said annoyed.
"I have a proposition for you,"Luke offered.
"No! I refuse to serve someone on the same side of the war as Kronos," Percy said.
"Serve?"Luke asked. "No!"
"What do you want then?"asked Grover protecting his best friend out of loyalty and duty.
"Something to love,"Luke admitted. "Something I didn't raise, and something not sworn off men."he added referring to Annabeth and Thalia.
"No,"Percy said.
"Do it Seaweed Brain!"Luke said.
"Only Annabeth can call me that,"Percy said.
"Do it Seaweed Brain,"Annabeth said shrugging her shoulders.
"But Annabeth…"Percy said. "I love you!"
"Listen!"Luke said cutting him off "The war won't happen the moment we kiss and you mean it…all the casualties. I love Annabeth like you do!" he added refusing to admit Percy did have a crush on her.
"We're both men,"he said. He said it bluntly, but he wasn't prejudiced towards any couples as long as both parties loved each other.
"As if you're prejudiced in any way,"Luke said laughing. "Listen Son of Poseidon. You have two people to choose between here, but I doubt she'd have me harmed if you refused her…..have me or lose her?"The villain took Percy's hand, and kissed it before he went off.
"You'll be mine,"Luke said to Percy pointing a finger. "Whether it's before or after everything you love dies."
(Luke's POV)
Oh my gods! How I hated myself. I was wise to go behind Kronos' back, but why did I want Percy so? Annabeth could have taken Kronos out of me, but she was too much my younger sister. I hated acting evilly but that was the only way to get through to Percy…I didn't care what happened to the gods….as long as I could have Percy…all would be well…and nobody would suffer.
