Luke POV
I yawned loudly, and then sank into my bed on the Princess Andromeda. It had been a long day and I was tired. I closed my eyes, hoping to sleep peacefully for once, and wake up refreshed. But, apparently, that was too much to ask.
I saw a large ship sailing towards an island shrouded in mist. The ship looked very old, almost like a pirate ship. There were only two figures on deck, which I thought was strange, but as I came closer, I noticed that they were Percy and Annabeth! They were probably on their way to find the Golden Fleece and save Grover. Idiots. It was then that I noticed Percy was tying Annabeth to the mast. Even though I was no longer friends with Annabeth, I still cared about her as a sister. I felt like drawing my sword and chopping Percy's head off, but then I heard what they were saying.
"Don't untie me." Annabeth said. "No matter what happens or how much I plead. I'll want to go straight over the edge and drown myself."
"Are you trying to tempt me?" Percy asked jokingly. "Ha ha." Annabeth responded shakily. I could tell she was nervous, but was trying to hide it. Percy reassured her that he would not untie her until they had passed the island. I then realized the reason that Percy was tying Annabeth up. They were approaching the Island of the Sirens, and Annabeth wanted to hear them. Percy finished tying up Annabeth and turned to a large tub of white stuff. He fumbled around for a minute, and then came back into view with huge things sticking out of his ears. I realized that they were make- shift ear plugs. I stifled trying not to laugh. She nodded sarcastically at Percy, and he stuck out his tongue at her. For a minute, nothing happened, but then Annabeth stiffened. They were within hearing range of the Sirens.
At first, Annabeth was just listening, but then she started calling to Percy, begging him to let her go, to untie her, but Percy was not listening. After a minute or two of useless crying, Annabeth's face lit up. She fumbled around in her bonds for a second, and then began sawing madly at the ropes. Percy Jackson, the idiot, had forgotten to disarm her! When the ropes were gone, she ran to the edge and dove into the water, swimming towards her doom. Percy was still not paying any attention to her. When Annabeth was about half way to the island, Percy finally turned around and noticed Annabeth was gone. He told the boat to stay, which proves that he's mental, and then jumped overboard to get Annabeth. Even though I hate the guy, I had to admire his bravery.
He swam as fast as possible towards Annabeth, who was about to crash into some rocks, but at the last second, she made it out of the way. Percy was struggling to keep up with her. He managed to grab onto her about fifty yards away from the beach, and suddenly I could see what Annabeth was seeing. She saw me, her mom, and someone I guess was her dad, all sitting in a park. Behind us, there was a brand new city, apparently New York. It was dazzling. Wow, Annabeth really knows her stuff. Percy than dragged Annabeth underwater, and I awoke, gasping for air.
I tried to slip back into slumber, but that was obviously not an option. So I decided to get up, and tell Lord Kronos what I had seen. He would surely reward me. As I was changing into some acceptable clothing, there was a knock on my door. The dracaena came in uninvited, and said, "It is time for your speech, Master Luke." I sighed, and then replied, "Go on ahead. I'll meet you there in a couple of minutes. I must talk to Lord Kronos." The dracaena bowed, and slithered out of the room. I walked towards the door to the main suite, and then stopped. I was beginning to doubt my allegiances. Maybe I wasn't doing the right thing. Maybe I shouldn't have changed sides. I shook it off. Of course I was doing the right thing. I wanted to make my father and all the other Olympians suffer for all the wrongs they did to me, to my friends, to Thalia. I banged my head against the door. Why was all this happening to me? It was probably some trick of the gods. I steeled my nerves, and turned the handle. It was time to talk to Kronos.
