Percy's POV
I couldn't believe it. Lilly was alive! She was here! She returned to me, only to say that she was married and is now a goddess! I have to tell Chiron and Annabeth!
As I walked towards the big house, Annabeth came up to me and said, "Hey Seaweed Brain!". I smiled at her and replied, "Hey WiseGirl! I have something to tell you and Chiron. Come on!" I motioned for her to follow me.
"Chiron! I need to talk to you about that new girl from the Poseidon Cabin!" I said to him. "What is it Percy? Is everything okay?" He asked me. "Yeah. But… I…do you remember Lilly?" I started. "Of course I do Percy. What about her?" He looked at me with question in his eyes. I could see pain and sadness come across his still face. "She's alive. She's a goddess, the Goddess of Lost Hope. Thanatos married her. She came to me disguised as the new Poseidon camper. What should we do about this?" I asked hesitantly. Annabeth and Chiron stared at me with questioning faces. Annabeth looked stunned. She had pain linger on her face and you could guess that it was because of Luke. Chiron's expression looked calm, but also as if he was hiding something. "We must call a meeting in the Rec Room immediately!" He said.
SOMEBODY's POV (no one in particular)
Chiron had called all of us head counselors into the Rec Room for something that Percy had to tell us. Percy, Annabeth, Katie, Jake, Clarisse, Will, Thalia, Jason, Pollux, and Connor and Travis were all sitting around the Ping-Pong Table. Conner was spraying some Cheese Wiz onto a pile of crackers. "Percy, would you care to explain why we're here?" Asked Chiron. "Yes well, Lilly is alive." From that there were a bunch of lund gasps from around the room. We all knew about Lilly. She had betrayed us all. After she fled, we all had just assumed she had died out of grief. If she was alive, this could mean bad things for us all.
"And," Percy continued, "she apologized to me. She was really sorry. She had escaped to the Underworld, Tartarus to be exact. She said that… t-that Thanatos found her. He took pity on her and turned her immortal. Now she is his wife, as well as the Goddess of Lost Hope." No one knew what to think of this. Everyone just had still faces except for Percy.
LILLY's POV
After I had left Cabin 3, I returned to the Underworld. I went to Elysium to visit Luke. Thanatos allows me to visit Luke so that he will not be as lonely. "Hey Luke." I say. "Hey Lilly, what's going on? Did you tell Percy?" He asks. "Yeah, I did." I replied. "Well?" He says, "How did it go? Did he take well?" "I don't know Luke. I left before he could reply. I may go back soon to clear the air with him for real."
I leaned onto Luke's chest. At first it felt weird. Me being a goddess and Luke being dead. But we learned to get used to it. Thanatos doesn't care if I decide to stay with Luke or not. I'm just his wife because he took pity on me. I looked up and he stroked the hair out of my face. It was hard being a goddess being a new goddess. You'd be surprised at how low the term "minor" could be used if you are a goddess.
I leaned towards Luke and we kissed. His lips were warm, despite being dead. I wanted so bad to bring him back to life. I wanted us to be happy. Instead, he was dead. I am a traitor. Now I have a god looking over me because he took pity on me. I was sick of it! I pulled away from Luke only to let him see that sadness and guilt in my eyes. "It's okay Lilly. You weren't a traitor, you weren't bad. It was good to you. Plus," he stumbled, "I dragged you into it." He whispered this to me softly. "No Luke! How dare you say that! You were a hero in the end! It was not your fault!" He laughed and held me close. I had made up my mind, I would bring Luke with me to see Camp Half-Blood tomorrow. That was final.
Thank you for actually reading this! Please review and by the way, what do you think I should do next? I think I'm going to make them go on a quest for something. What should they go on a quest for?
