(Luna's POV)
"Wake the fuck up we're being attacked again!"
Diana my best friend was shaking me in an attempt to wake me up.
"Wha? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" I asked while grabbing the kitchen knife under my pillow. "I tried but it's like talking to a wall." Ugh. "What is it this time?" "The snake-women things" oh how delightful. We talked and killed the monsters. "They shouldn't be hard to take down with the weapons Grover gave us" Grover vas the new kid in the orphanage, I think he's about 15 years old. Diana gave me that o really look. "The kid in a wheelchair giving us weapons that are made of 'celestial bronze', real-""DUCK!" I yelled as I slashed the monster. "That would be the last one." BOOOM! Or not. We saw a giant black dog and on top Grover but he had goat legs. "What the hell is that thing?" I saw those before but this one seemed friendly and had a collar that said 'Mrs O´Leary'. "This is a hellhound and if you want to escape climb on!" He yelled. The next thing I know I'm on a hellhound running into a wall. We landed in front of a hill. I could see a pine tree on top with a dragon sleeping, his tail wrapped around it. Monsters were somehow still behind us and we started running/fighting. There are ten of us I think we can beat them. I thought to myself.I saw some people rushing down the hill before I heard a scream. It was coming from one of the slutty looking girls on the hill. She was pointing at something and I looked at the direction she was pointing. A Minotaur was running towards us I was going to help Diana but something threw me so high I hit the pine tree. I saw a girl with honey blond princess curls rushing towards me and some other people who landed there. A black-haired guy running towards the Minotaur with a pen. That's when everything went black.
(Nico's POV)
We were getting new campers that night. There were ten of them but only four survived. I got the infirmary duty. So I was in the infirmary feeding nectar the girl that got knocked out. She had long wavy black hair and icy blue eyes. But the thing I noticed is a light turquoise streak in her hair. I could swear it's her. Oh I know her. But could it be her. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Even if it is her she probably won't remember me.
I won't lie it was very boring. When we crossed the borders of the camp she was still unconscious but she didn't let go of her sleeves. She had a few open wounds but she was OK.
When she opened her eyes I grinned. "Hey Perce! She's awake." Percy rushed towards us and pushed me away. "Oh my Gods are you okay? Who took you to it? Why were you gone for fucking thirteen years! We thought you were DEAD!" " Percy slow down she just woke up." She was just staring at us with a blank look on her face. Then she frowned. "What are you talking about? Where am I?" "You are at Camp Half-Blood."
(Luna's POV)
A centaur and a girl with blond curls entered the room. "Hello" The centaur said "I'm Chiron and this is Annabeth. Are you feeling better?" "Yes, I… I am." "Good, Annabeth could you give her a tour around camp and show her where she will be staying until she is claimed? Perseus and I have something to discuss." The girl nodded gave Percy a kiss and took me out.
Annabeth gave me a tour around the camp. I saw Diana in the battle arena with a camper that looked like her, blond hair and sky blue eyes. She had some wounds on her arms and legs and the camper was cleaning them. "How long was I unconscious?" I asked Annabeth. "Two days, eight hours and about twelve minutes." She replied simply. I looked at her with surprise; she noticed and said "I'm a daughter of Athena." "Oh." I was quiet for a while and then remembered Diana. "If I was unconscious for two days why are they patching Diana up now?" "Oh they patched her up when you guys first came to the camp, these wound are fresh. She was sword fighting Clarisse the daughter of Ares. It's like having an army here." "Ah." I replied. "You have temporary amnesia though so you will only remember last two weeks but it should go away by tomorrow morning." (I don't know how amnesia works .) She said while wrapping a grey streak of her hair around her finger. "Great." This is just what I needed. "You should be claimed by dinner. If you really are Percy's little sister your godly parent might be Poseidon as well." She looked at me like I'm a science project. "But that's impossible." I said. "I'm an orphan." When I said that she scrunched her eyebrows together, looking at the ground and mumbling something like she was talking to an invisible bug. When I was about to ask her what's wrong I heard a boy yelling. "Hey Luna, Annabeth! It's time for dinner!" I looked up and saw the same black eyed boy who was with me in the infirmary. He seemed very familiar and I just wanted to run towards him and hug him tightly but in the same time I wanted to punch the life outta him. "Come on Luna you must be starving." I nodded and followed them. "Wait Annabeth. Where can I take out my contacts?" "Come I will take you to my cabin." She followed me to the Athena cabin. She took them out and threw them in the trash. "You need glasses?"
"Oh no I just don't like my eye colour." Luna looked up and I met her eyes. They were the beautiful shade of sea green like Percy's only they missed something. They didn't look alive; they were just dull, lifeless looking at me. "Come on lets go to dinner." I said and took my eyes of hers. When we came to the dinner pavilion a green light shone brightly and a sea green trident appeared over Luna's head. Her eyes widened. She looked up at the trident and then at the crowd staring at her. All eyes were on her then Chiron said "All hail Luna Jackson daughter of Poseidon." She was clearly uncomfortable so she let her hair fall to her face. Just then the trident disappeared. "Come on." I said. "I'll take you to the Poseidon table; Percy will show you to cabin three after dinner." She didn't say anything she just followed me to Percy's table. Tyson was there too and as soon as he saw us he jumped from the table and gave me a huge hug. "Annabeth!" Luna was just standing there awkwardly. When he let me go two tears rolled down his cheeks. "I'm glad to see you too Tyson." I said. Luna didn't say a word and just sat down. I kissed Percy and went down to the Athena table.
Percy pov.
Luna barely touched her food, Tyson wasn't cheerful as usual, no one said anything and it was just awkward. "Who's that black haired boy?" Luna asked. "That's Nico Di Angelo the son of Hades." "Oh. How long was he here?" "He was here since he was ten or eleven. Then he wandered round New York and came back last year. Why do you ask?" "He just looks familiar." "Oh, ok." We finished eating and burned some food for the Gods; the campfire was about to start but Luna wanted to go to the cabin so I took her there. "Here it is. Make yourself at home." I opened the door and showed her around. I was about to go out when I heard her say. "Wait." I turned around and to my surprise she hugged me tightly no hesitation. I hugged her back and whispered. "It's good to have you back." We pulled away and I made my way to the campfire.
Luna pov.
After Percy was gone I took my backpack and locked myself into the bathroom. I took my hoddie off and to my surprise my cuts weren't patched up. I sighed with relief and took the rest of my close off. I took the little coffin from my bag and opened it. All of the blades were there. I put it back into my bag, and took a shower. I put my bikini a hoodie and shorts over it put some flip-flops on went out of the bathroom and headed towards the beach. I had to sneak by all the people at the campfire and make sure no one sees me.
I ditched my flip-flops at the beginning of the beach and walked by the sea for a long time. Once I was sure I was far enough I took my hoodie and shorts off and walked into the cold sea. When the water was up to my waist i dived in. I swimmed for a while and then went to the bottom and thought about the shit that happened to my friends and me.
I was down there for a long time so I decided to go to the shore. When I got out I saw a few people out there in the bushes. They didn't have any light; I guess moonlight was enough for them. I didn't want them to notice me so I got dressed and started to quietly walk away. Then I heard this creepy voice that sounded like a rusted old broken chainsaw saying. "Yes, yes they finally came here. It will be very good when she recognizes him, and then she will turn his back on him. Haha yes, we will take her to the dark easily and quickly." Then one of the girls glanced up and saw me, so I made a run for it.
As soon as I got off the beach I grabbed my flip-flops and ran to my cabin. Percy was sitting in front of the cabin door half asleep and drooling on his shoulder. I had to chuckle. "Percy. Percy wake up." I whispered. He shook his head. He mumbled "School, mom is sick I'm not gonna go to the play." I put his hand around my neck and my hand around his waist. I tried to lift him up. "Motherfucker, you are so heavy." "Hehe yeah." He chuckled. I tried again and got him up this time. I opened the door and laid him on his bed. Tyson wasn't in so I guessed he went away. I laid down in my own bunk and instantly fell asleep.
