Luke
Luke woke up on a beach. He was completely dry which struck him as odd since he recalled having been in the water before he blacked out. He remembered being swept up by the wave. What had the strange guy whose voice he had heard inside his head meant? It was for his own good for him to be away from his own sister. Well that was weird. Maybe the guy meant it was better to keep him away from her. Luke knew that somehow he had caused the wave to hit his sister's hang glider. He hadn't meant for her to fall in the water and almost drown. He just wanted to get her a little wet like she had tried to. She had tried to. She didn't succeed because Luke simply could not get wet. His friends had tried soaking him or pushing him into the pools at their houses but it had never worked. It was only when Luke wanted to become wet that he did, like when it was really hot outside and he wanted to cool off, when he was taking a bath, etc. Luke got up and looked around him. The sand dunes lead up to a green open area where a group of cabins stood. Luke could see that they were built in some kind of formation although what it was he wasn't sure of from where he was looking at them from. It was evening and the sky was growing darker. Fireflies danced in the woods to his right and all around the edges of the clearing. It was quite pretty here and Luke wouldn't mind spending the night lying on the beach. He was about to settle down and do just that when he heard rustling in the tall grasses at the top of the sand dunes. Luke tensed and then turned around quickly. His heart started to beat faster and his breath came out quickly. His mind jumped into hyper drive. If he could just find a place to hide and see what he was facing first or he could… A teenage boy with jet black hair and green eyes burst out of the grass. He was holding hands with a blond girl with grey eyes like storm clouds. They were laughing and running towards the water. Luke hoped they would run right past him without noticing but no such luck. The dark haired boy halted all of a sudden. The girl halted too. The boy turned to stare at Luke and the girl quickly followed suit. "Err…um…hi!" said Luke awkwardly. "How's it going?" The boy frowned at him and quick as lightning drew a pen from his pocket, uncapping it so that (to Luke's astonishment) it became a glowing sword. "Who are you?" demanded the boy. "I'm Luke." said Luke. There was a long pause and then Luke said, "Guys look, I have no idea how I got here. A giant wave swept me off the beach and some guy in my head said I had to be separated from my sister." The dark haired guy frowned and then recapped his pen sword, much to Luke's relief. "I'm Percy," he said, holding out a hand. "Percy Jackson and this is Annabeth Chase. You've landed at Camp Half Blood. We'll take you to Chiron, our director." He turned and started walking up the sand dune. Luke felt bad. He'd obviously just burst in on a moment between Percy and Annabeth even though they had technically run into him not the other way around. "I'm really sorry to mess up your date guys, honestly," Luke said. Annabeth turned red and looked like she might start yelling at Luke but she sighed and said, "It's ok Luke." They walked up to a large farmhouse. Percy paused at the top of the steps and then knocked on the door. A guy riding a horse stepped out. Luke thought that it was a bit odd that a guy would ride a horse inside a house before he realized that the guy wasn't on a horse. The horse was a part of him. Luke's mouth dropped open. The horse guy frowned, "Percy, Annabeth, what are you doing here? It's almost curfe…" He stopped midsentence having spotted Luke who was still staring openmouthed at him. "You three should come on inside." He turned around and walked inside to a sitting room with some comfy looking red couches. Grape vines wove up and down the walls and above the fire place was a stuffed leopard's head. Or at least Luke thought it was stuffed until it growled at him. He flinched and fell over the coffee table behind him. "You'll have to excuse Seymour," the horse guy said. "He hasn't had a snausage for a while. Annabeth have you got any?" Annabeth fished in her jacket and then pulled one out and tossed it to the stuffed leopard. "The leopard and the grape vines and various masks you'll see in here are a parting gift from our old director Mr. D. He's still on Olympus even after Zeus reopened it. I would say it was a reward for good behavior if it was anyone else." Luke was confused. Had the horse guy said Zeus like the guy who those old Greek dudes used to worship? The horse guy continued talking. "Anyway so my name is Chiron. I'm in charge of this camp here called Camp Half Blood. Who are you? How did you come to be here? Our patrol at the borders reported that no demigods had crossed the boundary." "That's because he came by sea," Percy said. "We found Luke on the beach. He claims the sea swept him up." "It's true Mr. Chiron, sir," piped up Luke. "I heard this weird voice in my head telling me it was time for my sister and me to be separated. The voice said it was for my own good." Chiron frowned. "Did anything happen before you were taken here?" Luke paused a minute before responding, "Yes. My sister almost drowned because an enormous wave took out her hang glider. I think I caused that wave." He faltered. "I mean I wasn't trying to knock her out of the air. I just wanted her to get wet. She'd pushed me off my surfboard and…" His voice died down. Chiron was staring at him and frowning in concentration. Luke realized how childish he sounded but that wasn't why Chiron was frowning. "What is it? Did I do something wrong? I mean besides almost accidentally drowning my sister?" "No..." said Chiron. "It's just that a demigod girl turned up at Camp Jupiter earlier this afternoon with the exact same story."
