Okay so I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. I know it's still a bit fluffy but it's hard not to be when you are dealing with the goddess of love and her children.
To anyone who thought I was getting the facts wrong, I realize I'm not following the exact storyline and that I'm changing things, but that is the whole point of fanfiction.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. I hope you enjoy this chapter, I know I did.


Silena's POV

I was still wringing lake water out of my hair as I climbed up onto the roof of cabin ten. I was in my blue two-piece ready to do some moon bathing. I know that sounds crazy, moon bathing and all, but it is seriously amazing for your skin, it makes it look younger and gives your skin a glow. I have Artemis to thank for that. Even if she does make girls pledge to never be with guys and to never fall in love, but by choosing to stay young and a maiden makes her moon bathe the world in youth.

So I was lying on my lounge chair in a state just between dreaming and consciousness, thinking about Charlie and how absolutely amazing our day was. I like the way my hand feels in his and the how I fit perfectly in those strong arms, it's like we were made for each other, two parts of a whole. I sighed, my life is like a Taylor Swift song (she is my half-sister by the way). Nothing could ruin this for me.
Or so I thought.

There was a large clanging noise coming from somewhere on the roof. I rolled over, not opening my eyes.

"Not now Lacy!" I groan thinking it's my half-sister coming to interrupt my wonderful bath in the moonlight, when suddenly there was a large hand clapped around my mouth breaking me from my trance. I strained against the hand but my struggle was subdued when a sharp object, reeking of poison was pressed against my neck.

"Now now Ethan. Is that any way to treat a lady?" said a low, dark voice coming from the shadows. For some reason I felt like I recognized it I just couldn't quite put my finger on it. The knife -I'm assuming that's what is it- reluctantly left my neck.

"Now," said the voice taking a step forward out of the shadows so I could see his body, but his face remained hidden. He was very tall and extremely well-toned, I could see his muscles flex under the camp half-blood t-shirt he was wearing. "Ethan here is going to take a step back, but if you try to run or scream he won't hesitate to send that knife through you're pretty little heart. Is that clear?" he asked in a silky smooth voice. Okay I am seriously freaked out now, but I'm not about to let him see that. I nod not trusting my voice. "I said: is that clear?" he asked again, this time a little more demanding.

"Yes." I say, hoping my voice came out strong but even to me it came out weak and breathy. The voice chuckled and took another step forward, revealing his face. I felt myself gasp as my eyes traveled around his familiar face. The long scar, sandy blond hair and his blue eyes that used to shine so bright.
"Luke?" I gasp again though it's more of a statement than question.

"Did you miss me, love?" Luke asks in a false sweetness as he walks over and plants a kiss on my forehead. My mind races through all the time we spent together in secret, my hands on his chest and his in my hair and under my chin tilting up my face to meet his. My breath shudders… No! I shake my head trying to clear my mind. That was years ago, he's evil now.

"If you came to take me back, I won't. I have got Charlie now." I say defiantly. Luke laughed a cold, dark, humorless laugh.

"Oh you silly little girl," His voice was still full of the mock sweetness. Now he was twirling a piece of my hair around his fingers, his face impossibly close. "You haven't changed one bit have you? You still think everything is about you, like the world revolves around you. Well I'd say it's time to wake up Silena because your world is crumbling down and there is nothing you can do to stop it…"

"How did you even get in here?" I growled. I was seriously mad now, no one talks to me like that.

"Tsk, tsk. I am still a half-blood am I not? And this is still a camp for half-bloods. But mind your manners now Silena." The falseness of his tone was really starting to get on my nerves. "As I was saying you are about to watch your world die and everything you love go down with it." My eyes go wide against my will, Charlie! Luke new that he struck a nerve, his sly smile said it all. "Unless," he continued. "You do a little something for me." Clearly he was trying to manipulate me, sadly it was working.

"Wh…What?" my voice wavered. Luke reached into his pocket and pulled something out; at first I thought that it was some kind of key. Luke motioned for me to open my hand, I obeyed reluctantly. When he placed it in my upturned palm I realized it was a silver charm bracelet that only had a single charm. A charm in the shape of a scythe.

"I want you to keep tabs on the camp for Me." his voice became a lot softer. "Attend all the camp meetings up in the big house then go down to the forest and rub the charm, it will make something like an Iris message where you can report all you know to me." I put the bracelet back in his hand and scurried to the far end of the lawn chair shaking my head vigorously. I had completely forgotten about the other guy, Ethan. He grabbed me roughly by the shoulders, his poisonous knife sliding up against my larynx. I could feel all the blood in my neck waiting to spill out. My vision was going blurry as I refused to let the tears flow.

"You WILL do this for us!" Ethan's voice was full of anger and hatred.

"That is enough Ethan!" Luke was outraged but his voice remained low. He drew a sword I hadn't even realized he was carrying. "We will not force her to do it if she does not want to!" Ethan bowed his head in shame. Luke helped me back to the front of the chair; I wanted to be as far away from Ethan as possible. "As I was saying before we were so rudely interrupted, we need you Silena." His tone was gentle.

"Why? Don't you already have a sp… sp… spy?" I fumbled with the word as I fought against a flood of tears.

"He… left. And I want to give you a chance to save what matters most." His voice now was at a whisper, his hands gripped mine and his blue eyes seemed to bore their way into my soul.

"You really think I can save Charlie?" My voice was now at a whisper now too.

"No I don't think so I know so. I promise you if you accept this nothing will happen to Charlie." Now I kind of wished that I did belong to Artemis' hunt, so I wouldn't have to worry about Charlie. So I would not have been driven to say what I said next:

"Okay."


Okay, I have got to be honest even though Beckengard is my OTP, I still kinda ship Luke and Silena... yeah. I also think Luke is just seriously misunderstood. Poor guy. Anyway, I wanted to know why you guys/girls think Luke chose Silena to be his spy? I also want to know what you guys/girls think of the story? What can I do to make it better? Should I keep posting more? So please R&R!
