A/N: Hey yall, I'm officially on winter break now. So happy about it, very little school work and sleeping till like 10 (hopefully) I feel so sick and ugh it sucks so much but yeah, here's a chapter of this little fanfic. And just as a reminder I do not own the Percy Jackson series, I only own new characters and events. (And very slightly own events that happened in the book but have had slight changes)
*Luke's p.o.v
I ran through the woods to another small clearing, Lilith sat there with a piece of cloth pressed against her leg. The hound I had summoned didn't obey me, there were bloody scars running from her thigh to her to her ankle. "Lilith..." I walked forward, as she looked up at me. "You summoned the hell hound, didn't you?" she asked, I sighed and sat beside her, her pale leg was covered in blood. "Let's get you to the infirmary" she nodded and let me pick her up.
"Why did you go after the hound?" I asked her as I walked through the woods with her in my arms, "I didn't know it was the hound, I felt something pull me in that direction after two of the Ares douches threw me against a tree, I have scrapes from the bark on my side and the tree didn't seem too happy about it either." She said looking up at the sky, we were out of the woods and the sky was dark.
I took her into the infirmary and laid her on a bed, Argus was sitting in a corner watching us, I looked at him and he nodded as Apollo kids came in to make sure everything was right. They turned pale as they saw her leg. "Oh gods" one said as they started getting things to clean her leg along with nectar and ambrosia.
I moved to the chair beside the bed and watched them clean the long cuts on her leg, I felt horrible about what I had done to her. It worked though, it riled up the campers, made them fear for their safety which is what was supposed to happen. She wasn't supposed to get hurt though. I took her hand in mine rubbing soft small circles with my thumb, she winced as they cleaned the cuts. They gave her nectar and ambrosia before bandaging her leg, I remember them doing something similar to the cut on my face. What they used to wash it burned but it helped it heal properly. She would scar.
"She'll have to stay here over night so we can monitor her leg and change her bandages" I nodded and laid my head back, "You can go back to your cabin, they're gonna need their counselor" they added "I know I can go back but I make my own decisions and I'm sure my cabin can fare one night without me" and if they couldn't well they're about to get a rude awakening. So would Lilith if she didn't come with me, I hope she does choose me. She makes me feel something I've never felt before, I just don't understand it.
The Apollo kids cleaned everything up and walked out to their cabin, only one stayed behind but they had to use the restroom.
"Why did you do it Luke?" her soft voice whispered, I got on my knees and moved closer to her, she looked into my eyes and placed her small hand on my cheek, I leaned into her touch and closed my eyes. "It's a part of what you say you see in my eyes" I said, my voice in a hushed whisper. "You can stop whatever is going to happen" she said, she sounded pained and seemed to be begging slightly. "I'm sorry Lilly but I can't" she sighed and shook her head moving her hand away. It hurt.
"Lilly, I'm sorry" I don't really know why I was apologizing but I felt the need to, I kissed her softly and stroked her curly black hair, she seemed so sad. "You're gonna leave like everyone else" she whispered before falling asleep, pain and sadness had overwhelmed her soft voice, gently I wiped the tears that had begun to trail down her cheeks "I'm sorry" I whispered again before crawling into the bed beside her, her leg across mine so they could easily get to it. Even though she was asleep she snuggled into my chest, a sad small smile crossed my lips as I pulled the blanket over us.
I didn't want to leave her, she was the only person, the only reason why I'm having a hard time with what I'm doing. I hate the Gods, especially my father for not helping my mother or me, even when she started to go insane from seeing visions of the future. I miss my mother but I don't think I could ever be around her again for a long amount of time without breaking down.
I kissed Lilly's forehead and slowly fell into a horrible dream filled sleep.
It was Kronos, the golden coffin in the room again, "Soon Luke, it will fall into place." The cold ancient voice washed over me, the temperature seemed to drop as he spoke again "Convince her to join us Luke, I will grow stronger and we will over throw the Gods!" I knew I had to try but she was strong willed… "She loves you Luke" he added before his earth shaking laugh was heard, I shuttered and shook my head as I realized what he said, "I will try lord Kronos"
I awoke to Lilly shaking me, I bolted upright in the bed "You seemed to be having a bad dream" she whispered, I sighed and laid back down beside her, she was propped up on her elbows with her leg still across mine. "He just changed my bandages, it's four in the morning, and I'm sorry that I woke you but you were shaking and were freezing cold" her voice was worried but her eyes were sad. "Just a dream Lilly" I kissed her softly and held her close as we both drifted back to sleep.
This is like incredibly short and boring, I'm sorry, hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow, bye, bye guys.
