Luke POV CHP 3 extended
I don't understand this Jackson kid. He obviously knows I tricked him and yet he's here at my party with some chick. There's something off about her, shes pretty I guess blonde curly hair and not princess curls like Annabeth, more like messy why would I even bother to try curls, bright blue eyes, cute button nose and blood red lips that looked like a heart. It was so weird. She also seemed to have a light pink glow surrounding her. Not like "Oh you look so healthy or you've got that pregnancy glow" type thing, but an actual pink glow. Thinking I was going crazy I tapped Ethan on the shoulder
"Ya" he raised his eyebrow at me. Pointing at the girl while she smiled at Percy
"That girl, please tell me Im not crazy and you see the light pink glow surrounding her" He looked over to where I was pointing and his eyes widendend that alone told me he did in fact see it.
"What the fuck" Ethan whispered I just shrugged and watched as Percy gave her a kiss on the cheek and left her alone, which caused her to snarl at him behind his back, she was terrifying and she couldn't have been more than 14 if that. Finally she looked around smirked, shrugged and grabbed a drink from the bar and sat in a corner and just people watched. I needed to get to know this girl, with that in mind I walked over to her as I got closer I noticed she was making a face something that told me she thinks something is incredibly stupid or over rated. Bending down I cought her attention she studied me for a second, smirked and pushed herself up. Holy Fuck was this girl short I mean she couldn't have been more than 5'3 if that, I towered over her. Deciding it was time to get to know this mysterious girl I spoke
"Well, what do we have here your not a demi-god I know"
"Probably not as I'm not technically a demi-god" my eyes widened at this. What the fuck is that supposed to mean
"Then how did you know where to find this party?" I went through a lot of trouble and drachmas to hide it from mortal eyes
"My friend Percy brought me, says I need to make friends or whatever" She rolled my eyes as the sarcasm dripped from her voice but I could still make out the small smile on her face
"Hmm well alright then although it seems your friend might be playing both sides of the war" I figured this was the best way to figure out where she stood along with Percy since well he supposed to be the prophecy child, she just shrugged
"I doubt it he's always had a good heart, I think he just doesn't want to hurt those that he holds dear, his dad and godly family included, so hell fight for what's right in his mind" That was surprising so he was fighting because of his heart not because he though the Gods were doing a good job, maybe I could use this girl to my advantage. Deciding we should finally know name I stuck out my hand and introduced myself
"Well, mystery not technically a demigod, I'm Luke son of Hermes" She grinned and gripped my hand and smiled at me
"Well, Luke sone of Hermes I'm Kim daughter of Eros and Percy's best friend" I threw my head back and laughed. Now the "not-technically a demi-god made sense she was daughter of a fucking primordial god! For the rest of the night, Kim and I chatted and got to know each other. Once the party started to die down I decided to go talk to the others and inform them of Kims identity, I turned to watch her leave just as Percy walked well more like stumbled up to her obviously drunk off his ass, well well looks like Percy has a bad side. Kim just laughed and caught him before he fell over. With her helping him they left the party. Little did I know how much of a game changer this girl would be not only for my friendship with Percy but the war in total.
