A/N: sorry guys for not updating for so long. I was reading Son of Neptune I hope you like it. And this is the chapter where her Olympian parent and more of her history will be revealed so don't skip this. And I want something cleared-Luke is 15 and Diana is 14. Her birthday is same as Percy's but only a few hours earlier.
BTW I would like to inform the reader who reviewed some helpful tips that I am Grade 5 J and that the romance isn't that fast, there's a twist in every story including this one
Chapter 2
Love and Parents doesn't go with mysteries
Aboard Princess Andromeda
Diana's POV
It had been a week since my first day and they still don't know who my godly parent is. I've given up trying to give out clues, as it only results to a sharp pain in my skull.
Anyways after a long exhausting swordfight with Luke, (I couldn't seem to hurt him. Every time I wound him, he would just stab me back as if nothing happened) we walked back to our room. To our surprise, Claire was sitting there in my bed reading some sort of journal.
When she saw me she said, "Diana! Look at this journal I found, it's Lu-"she stopped talking abruptly when she saw who I was with.
Luke's POV
I knew at once that Claire had just read everything that had happened to me since I ran away up to all the plans Kronos had told me. Well, not all those but still about half of it.
I strode over to her and snatched it away. Diana was staring at us weirdly.
"Umm, Claire I think you better leave."Diana said glancing at me.
I threw my journal to my bed and sat on one of the empty ones as both our beds were clattered with swords, clothes and stuff.
"Are you okay? What was in that anyways?"Diana asked
"Memories." I answered. "Photos, thoughts and plans, lots of personal plans."
History and plans, most about you. I thought.
Diana took a bath inside the girls' bathroom.
I sat there thinking about what was in the journal. All the plans including her and what happened about 6 years ago…
-Flashback-
I'd just run away from my home and I came across a house. The house was your usual type of house but something made me stop.
I glanced at my watch it was exactly four o'clock in the morning. No one except me was out in the street, so when there was someone or something I jumped in surprise.
It was the first time I heard Kronos.
"Burn the house" was all it said but the voice was hypnotizing. I burned it.
I was going to leave before somebody sees me when I saw a faint blue light it disappeared, then I heard the sound of something falling followed by a by a scream.
"Mom!" The speaker was a girl around the age of eight. "Mom, Lily! Those monsters again. They already killed Hannah. Why did they have to take your lives too?"
The girl was sobbing. She was trapped in a circle of fire and rubble. I saw that her family was dead; they were under a huge pile of rubble. Fire touched her but didn't burn her.
The voice spoke again.
"Help her. Take her with you. She is important."
I walked towards the mess. I smiled at her and told her that I was also a demigod. I took her with me and we quickly became best friends.
"My family was hunted by monsters until my mom couldn't hide it from me anymore. She said that my dad was Poseidon, the sea god from the Greek myths. She said that I should keep this necklace with me always. This is the only thing I have now."The girl showed me a locket with a picture of her family on one side.
"Why's the other side blank?"
"Anything we put on the other side disappears" she explained."My mom said it was a gift from the Fates."
"What's your name? Mine is Luke." I asked.
"Well I'm Diana, Diana Taylor." She said, cheerily.
She looked rather pretty despite her messy hair and the ash that covered her. We walked on and just my luck that a fury was there waiting for us.
"That's a fury" cried Diana. She pulled on her necklace which became a gleaming sword.
I hate my dad. He didn't even leave me a weapon like that. I got my kitchen knife (I know useless right?) And started to help her fight the fury.
"Wait!" The fury wailed. "I only come with a message from my master, Hades."
"Hello Luke Castellan. Alecto is right I have a request for you which concern the girl. Give her to me. In return I'd do you a favor." Someone behind me said. It was Hades.
So someone wanted my new friend. Well, I won't let him have her. While Diana was still fighting the fury (for an eight year old, she was good) I charged at Hades with my kitchen knife which he disintegrated with a snap of his fingers.
Then the fury attacked me. I fell down on the ground while the fury's hand outstretched as if wanting me to take it's hand then a the end of a sword w hanging there. The fury disintegrated and behind it was Diana her hand also outstretched and open. I took it without hesitation.
I felt strength then I started running, still holding Diana's hand and ran faster than I ever knew I could.
As soon as I started running I saw realization hit Hades that I could escape him so he started to bargain.
"I can give you a safe path. With no monsters. Nothing would harm you"
It was tempting. But knowing myself it was seconds before I gave in. "Swear."
"I swear to the river Styx that nothing will harm you."
The he grabbed Diana on the neck, she stiffened then fell limp.
"Don't worry you'll see her again." Kronos spoke to me once again.
Let's say that I had a serious crush on Diana. Even when I met Thalia and my heart skipped a beat. When I met Annabeth I was only reminded of her.
-Flashback ends just as Diana had finished bathing.-
"Hey, Luke. Are you alright?"Diana waved a hand over my eyes.
"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm alright, I just remembered something"
I wonder if I should tell everyone that her dad was Poseidon. Maybe…. Yeah I should.
"Hey Diana I think I know who your godly parent is…Poseidon?"I said in an unsure tone.
"At last somebody noticed. Well, how did you know?" she asked.
"Well remember when you got pushed in the swimming pool and you stayed there for over an hour? well I kind of figured it out when you came out alright." I lied
"You'd better tell anyone because I think that the River Styx would still bind me to my promise."
"Oh, okay" Then I went out to tell our side of the development.
A week later,
Still aboard Princess Andromeda
Diana's POV
Everybody looked at me in a sort if jealous way since they all found out who my dad was. And to make matters worse Luke was avoiding me. He won't look at me or train with me he won't even stay with me in the same room. Since the time he told me that we were going into the labyrinth he started avoiding me. And since he won't train with me I was going to ask Claire if she would train with me
I heard muffled sobs as I walked toward her room. I thought something was amiss so I naturally pulled on my necklace to turn it into a sword, making two dracenaes recoil at the sight.
I crept to her room and what I saw was a mess. Claire's usually organized collection of books was strewn on the floor and Luke was advancing towards Claire with a murderous stare. They were talking but the walls, windows and doors were soundproof.
I opened my locket, on one side was a picture of my mortal family and on the other were pictures of various demigods who I have met. I touched Nico Di Angelo's picture and concentrated on the time he was arguing with my former mistress. The picture's eyes glowed.
I shadow travelled inside the room then wrapped the shadows around me.
"-don't tell her about the plan or any information you got from my journal! Or else I don't think it will go well for you." Luke cracked his knuckles. I've never seen him so angry before, I wasn't sure that this was the exact same Luke I loved.
"B-but she should have the privilege to know it's her that will be used. You should tell her, you still love her don't you?"replied Claire.
Luke's glare wavered then he started choking Claire.
"She'll have a better chance to survive since her dad is Poseidon. Did you see her powers?" He suddenly looked worried and started looking around as if I would be standing in the open. "I don't stand a chance at all."
He let go of Claire then went out.
I shadow travelled out. For a god ten minutes I stood there still wrapped in shadows. Pondering about what I've heard.
Kronos told Luke about a plan that included me and Claire knows about it. I can die. I would do anything for my new family. What was Luke worried about? And what the Hades was in that journal?
