Luke looked at me, tears in his eyes. I've never seen him cry and I didn't want to. I sat on his lap, kissing his cheek.
"Tell me what happened." Travis and Conner left, awkwardly.
"Chiron is suspecting something. And well... Peri. I need to tell you something, sweetheart." He said softly, my heart fluttering as he called me 'sweetheart'.
"Go on, love." Gods I sounded English then. But it's not like he'd ever call me 'love' so I had too. I sat next to him on his bed.
"Kronos is starting an army. To dethrone the Olympians and well, to let demigods rule. And, sweetheart, I'm leading it." I thought he was joking. He had to be. I mean he was Luke. My Luke. I've known him a few days, well a year or so, and I couldn't let him do that. But as I saw his serious expression, tears formed in my eyes.
"No! No! You can't do that! Not now, not ever!" I yelled, my tears streaming down my cheeks. Luke must have not expected me to react this way, because he just looked at me.
"You can't do that! Please, Luke. Don't!" I screamed, sniffing, as more tears ran down my cheeks. Luke growled loudly and suddenly pinned me against his wall, as if something changed in him.
"Persephone." His voice sounded more powerful. Not like Luke. It may have been his voice but it wasn't his words. His eyes darkened slightly.
"Listen to me, girl." He hissed. Tears continued to steam down my cheeks. Luke would never call me 'girl' he never would.
"She will make an excellent replacement for Rhea, probably won't be as rebellious. Who's your godly parent, girl?" There it was again. Girl. However. I felt like I must answer.
"H-Hades." I chocked out. 'Luke' chuckled darkly.
"Ah. Kronos always valued him more then his other children." He said knowingly. I frowned and stormed out of the cabin, tears still rolling down my cheeks. I couldn't stand to be with Luke. I would have a mental breakdown. All the Hermes and unclaimed campers looked at me.
"Leave!" I yelled, stumbling forward slightly. I wiped my eyes and pushed though everyone, running to the tree at the top of the hill. I wiped my eyes again. I didn't want to think that Luke was betraying me. For a pointless cause. The gods had it right. Demi gods aren't immortal, some had turned immortal. E.g. Mr D. I stormed to the tree at the hill. I didn't know why this tree was here. However, I knew it was special. I could feel it. Suddenly, I saw a stayer and half blood. The stayer was old. I think he was called coach hedge. He was grumpy, always wore terrible PE clothes and called everyone cupcake. He looked at me.
"Parent, cupcake?" He was an older stayer and worked in places with lots of monsters to find half bloods.
"Hades." I looked down. I felt a ashamed for my father. Everyone hated me because of it. Coach hedge nodded, chucking.
"He loves his Europeans." He mused as an Apollo camper took the kid to Chiron and mr D.
"My mum is American. I was adopted." I shrugged, he nodded.
"Whatever floats your boat, cupcake." He said gruffly before he walked to where all the stayers where, leaving me alone.
Later that day, everyone knew Luke and I where in a fight but didn't know about what. They normally found me, sitting with the children of Hephaestus and helping them on small projects. I hardly spent time with Pollux and Castor or even Travis and Conner. I sat with Charles Beckendorf, though everyone called him Beckendorf, never Charlie or even Charles. He was showing me how to work Greek fire. When suddenly, someone yelled something. I was confused.
"What's happening?" I asked quietly, to Beckendorf.
"Just come on." He said, like it was to complex to explain. So I did so and we ran to the big house. And that's where we saw...
