Hey guys! I'm happy to say that I got this update up in a week! Hopefully, I'll be able to get future updates up in time as well :) But anyways, hopefully this chapter makes up for last week's chapter, which wasn't my best chapter I've put up, but I really wanted to get Soaring High updated. Anyways, here are the responses to your reviews :

Goldey9058 ~ Yeah, I don't believe people when they say that they're not afraid of anything, because you have to be afraid of something. Haha thank you! I'm going to try and finish this story

Iamme ~ Ahh sorry for not updating sooner! Hopefully I can update sooner next time, so that you don't have to keep switching browsers XD. Yeah, some teachers just do the minimum so you don't actually learn anything, and they blame you for not knowing the answers to the questions -_-. Congrats on getting good score though! I just took one of my tests, and I haven't gotten the score yet, so I'm hoping that I did well... I'm going to take my other test in like two days, so it should be interesting to see how that goes o.o Haha even though I'm not going to be a senior for a while, I always think "This is going to be my senior quote" whenever I see something funny XD Though I always end up forgetting them! That's a funny quote XD Why do people ask you that? Haha that basically sums up my parents as well XD. I think my school ends somewhere around there! I'm not sure what the actual date is (something I should probably check)... Hopefully I'll be able to get more chapters out and finish this story like you said :D

Disclaimer: Me no own PJO

Enjoy! :3

Luke

Out of all the dumb things he had done in his life, he had a feeling that going into a tunnel that was made by what was once a tree, took the prize.

Even before he had stepped into the tunnel with Percy and Annabeth, he had known that something was off.

"Uh guys? Maybe we should go back..." When he was met by no reply, Luke turn to his right, where Annabeth had been standing just moments ago. "Wait guys?"

"Where... where did you go?" He squeaked, not even minding how high his voice sounded, as his claustrophobia was starting to kick in.

"Guys! This isn't funny!" He scolded.

"Are you sure?" A voice asked. Luke spun around to see his mother sitting in what seemed to be a hospital bed.

"Hermes," his mother said. "The doctors said that I was fine. They said that we caught the cancer in time, and that I shall be fine."

"Are you sure? I could have Apollo take a look at you - he really knows his stuff." The man said. To Luke's surprise, it was his father.

"His appointments are very expensive... I don't think that we really have the money for it. Luke still needs to go to camp."

"I could pull some favors to get you in for free!" Hermes said, as if he was begging her to go.

"No," Luke's mother said adamantly. "Let people who need it more use it."

"But May..."

"No Hermes." She said gently. "I'll be fine."

"No!" Luke wanted to cry out. "Take the treatment!"

For the first time since his mother had gone crazy, Luke found himself agreeing with his father. "But, May, what if the doctors are wrong? Luke," His voice cracked. "Our son, and I need you!"

Luke stomped his foot in frustration as his father said that. He felt the blood rushing to his ears. How dare this man claim to be his father! He wasn't going to give Hermes the enjoyment of calling him his father. He was going to have to prove it.

"Don't worry." May said. "The chemotherapy is going well and the doctors say I'll be released soon."

Luke finally found his voice, and just as the scene changed, he croaked out. "Go see Apollo!"

Then all went black, and he couldn't see anything. "Mom?" He asked tentatively. "Her... Hermes?" He spat out.

"Hello?" He walked around in the darkness.

After walking around for sometime, he saw a light in the distance. Hoping to see his mom in her former stage again, his face broke out in a grin, and he started running towards the light.

When he finally made it to the light, he frowned when he saw the moment. "NO Hermes!" He saw his mom say. Her face was red, and her hair was falling onto her face. "You can't!"

Hermes ran a hand through his salt and pepper hair. "May, you need to listen."

"NO!" She yelled, and Luke was taken aback. He had never heard his mother yell so loudly.

"May," Hermes said gently. "The chemo at this hospital isn't working. We need to see Doctor Apollo."

His mother said nothing.

"Dr. Apollo will help you, you'll get better." Hermes said slowly, as if he was talking to a toddler. "You won't be sick anymore."

His mother continued to stare blankly at the wall. Hermes ran an agitated hand through his hair, but he forced his voice to be patient. "How does that sound."

"But," Luke stared in horror as he saw his mother's lip trembling. "I don't wanna see the doctor!"

"May, you only have to see the doctor one time okay? Just once."

Luke saw his mother frowned. "Just once?"

"Just once." Hermes promised.

"C'mon mom..." Luke muttered. "It's only once."

May's shoulders slumped. "Alright."

Luke saw his father's eyes light up with joy, and he could've that there was even a slight glimmer of disbelief in his eyes. "Really?"

"Yes." She said, not looking at him.

Hermes gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Don't worry." He gave her a tired smile. "Everything will be alright."

"It's not going to be alright!" Luke shouted, but there was no reaction, as these were just memories.

The light faded once more, and Luke couldn't see anything. "I guess I'll just walk in that same direction?"

As he walked towards the same direction, Luke couldn't help but begin to feel the effects of his ADHD kicking in. He began to twiddle his thumbs and whistle as he continued walking. Based off of what he had just seen, he wasn't particularly looking forward to seeing what the next moment had planned for him.

Even when he saw the light that showed him that a moment was approaching, he made no change in his pace.

However, he couldn't help but feel curious to see what would happen in the moment as he appeared it. His question was answered when he got close enough to see what was happening in the moment.

He saw Hermes talking to a man with blonde hair and a lab coat, who Luke assumed to be Apollo. Behind them, he saw his mother sleeping in a hospital bed. Luke couldn't help but wince as he noticed how pale she seemed to be.

He tore his eyes off his sickly mother, and focused on Hermes.

From a distance, Hermes appeared to be the same. However, when Luke took a closer look, he noticed that there were deep eye bags under his face, which was looking slightly more hollow then it had in the last moment. His hair was also longer, which told Luke that he hadn't cut his hair since the last moment.

"How is she?" Hermes asked anxiously.

The blonde man shuffled his papers. "Well you see,"

"No!" Hermes said running a hand through his tousled hair. "She," his voice cracked. "She has to be okay."

The blonde man stared at him irritably, "Just wait and listen to what we've discovered."

Hermes nodded silently.

"What we discovered is that she'll live." Apollo said. Hermes's face lit up. "BUT," Apollo added, and Luke noticed that Hermes's face dropped. "You might, uh, see some, ah, changes in your wife."

"Changes?" Hermes said panicked, "What?"

"Minor changes really-"

"Apollo." Hermes said, his voice dangerously low. "What will happen?"

Apollo sighed. "Well... Her personality will change."

"HOW?"

"To make things simple, the cancer has messed with her mind, and she's basically lost memory of everything up to a certain point."

Hermes's face lost even more of it's color, "What?" he whispered. "To what point."

"We don't know yet..."

"Isn't there something that we can do?" Hermes asked frantically. "You should know something! You're the best doctor around!"

Apollo grinned. "Thank you! But going back to your question, I'm afraid that there isn't much more that we can do. I'm afraid that you caught the cancer too late-"

He was cut off by Hermes's fist being slammed onto the table, making a glass fall off the table. "They lied." He growled. "They said she would be fine, and that we caught the cancer in time!"

The violent magenta shade that Hermes's face had taken on faded almost instantly once a thought came to mind. "Will... Will she at least remember Luke?"

"Pardon?"

"Will she remember Luke?"

Apollo shuffled around some of his papers. "I told you, we don't know. We're trying to figure it out-"

"No..." Hermes whispered. "She has to remember him. He'll be heart broken if she forgets about him."

Apollo nodded sympathetically. "We'll do our best."

The memory ended, and Luke frowned. "Since when did Hermes care about me?" He scowled unhappily. "Having to take care of me was probably a inconvenience to him." Luke said bitterly. "It's not like he would actually care about me."

"You know," Luke said angrily. "I don't particularly want to continue walking anymore."

But there was a tiny voice in the back of his head that said, "You know you have to. You have to continue walking through to get out of this cave. Besides, the sooner you get through these, the sooner you get done."

"Fine!" Luke yelled at no one in particular. "I'll continue walking."

He angrily kicked his shoes into the floor with every step. "Stupid. Cave." He repeated as with every step.

He glared at the next speck of light that he saw. "Do I have to see it?" Luke grumbled. "I'm half tempted just to ignore these."

But his curiosity got the best of him, when he realized that he was in this moment. It was a younger version of himself, who was playing with Legos. "LUUKKKEEE!" A voice yelled.

Luke turned around quickly, hoping to see someone. However, when he saw no one, he realized that the voice was coming from the moment.

His younger self got a deer in the headlights look, before dashing off to run to hide in a closet. "Luke?" A woman asked. "There's no need to hide! I've made your favorite - cookies!"

Luke winced in disgust as he noticed that the cookies that were on his mom's tray were all burnt to the crisp. "There's even apple juice in the kitchen! You love apple juice!"

"I haven't like apple juice since I was like 4 mum," An annoyed voice said.

May turned around to face the sound. She must have heard the sound come from the closet, for her voice brightened. "Oh there you are!" She said as she opened up the closet. "What are you doing in the closet silly?"

Luke saw his younger self groan, "I was just looking for something."

"Oh alright!" His mother said. "Now let's get you some sandwiches and juice!"

Luke saw his face contort in horror. "It's okay!"

His mother seemed to ignore him. "Time to eat, time to eat, time to eat!" She sang.

The memory moved as Luke and his mother entered the kitchen. Luke gasped as he saw his mother's kitchen, which was full of burnt cookies, rotting sandwiches, and dirty glasses of juice.

His younger self attempted to wriggle out of his mother's grasp. "I'm fine mom!"

"Now Luke, you have to eat -" She was cut off as her body started shaking.

"Mom?"

Her body went rigid, before her eyes turned green and a mist started coming out of her mouth. "HE IS THE ONE!" She screeched, "You.." She rasped, pointing a finger at a terrified Luke. "YOU WILL BE TAKEN!"

Past-Luke started backing away from his mom.

"YOU-" Her body jerked once more. "Would you like a sandwich?"

Past-Luke stared at her before running off. The memory followed him, and Luke soon recognized where his past self was going.

His old room.

His past self began grabbing things out of every closet and stuffing them into a backpack.

And instantly, Luke realized what memory this was. It was moment when he first ran away from home.

The moment seemed to speed up time, and his past self had suddenly began sneaking out of the house. As he passed the living room where he had been building his lego, he seemed to hesitate. Getting a determined look in his eye, he quickly dashed across the room, and slipped the little car into his pocket, before running towards the door.

When his-past self opened the door, Luke could still remember the feel of the breeze hitting his face.

The breeze, which would mark that last moment he ever spent in that house.

How was that? Next chapter I'm not sure if I'm going to continue what moments Luke sees, or if I'm going to switch to Percy or Annabeth's moments. Let me know in a review of what you think I should do! (Because at this point, I don't really have a detailed plan for the next chapter XD) Anyways, don't forget to follow and favorite this story if you enjoy!

Until the next update!
