Chiron had taken Annabeth outside and left me with Percy. I said down next to him taking his hand and started the process. I felt the pain immediately, Kronos was right everything had a price and this was a cheap price. The Pain grew as I felt myself sliding into the underworld and past the big bronze gate to Tartarus. "I see you came for him then, a bit earlier that I had expected, but you always had a thing for that boy didn't you? Luke." I didn´t say anything just followed the Titan to Percy´s 'dark paradise', his prison of loneliness.
I had used the paradise, too. The get numb, to feel like not existing, to flee from every emotion that only brought pain. The only pace you're not feeling like you´re going to shatter.
I knew that place all too well. But my paradise never was in the underworld, until I got out of here.
It made me laugh, but I was quickly stopped by the cursing pain.
I found him stand there in the middle of what to me looked like… well a paradise, but like in a fairytale. There were a lot of big trees with black purple silver leaves, tall black grass, not the dead kind.
No the more creepy kind that actually was alive.
I felt the pain grew stronger the closer I got to him. "Hallo is anyone out there?" he asked hopeless. That was the princely the same thing I had said, I wished someone would have answered, me just once. And I called out "Percy! I`m right here" he looked around and found me, carling out for me, too. He started running in my direction, but suddenly stopped like remembering who I was, the traitor and the one that had tried to kill him more than a couple of times.
"Luke…" he paused biting his lip. "… Sorry." He steeped closer and took my hand. The crushing pain felt like holding the sky meanwhile bathing in the river Styx. "No matter what, don't let go of my hand!" I said pulling him back to the place I came from. Kronos stood there watching with an evil grin on his face. Something in his eyes told me his plan was going the way he wanted it to.
A plan of revenges, on who I didn't know, but the way he looked was like he had already won. I pulled Percy back to the bronze gate that is keeping Tartarus separate from the underworld and then back through the underworld and back to his body. His spirit holding the hand his body didn't. I had to get his soul internment back I his body, I reached out and pulled Percy´s soul close. So close, but not close enough to kiss him, so I reached out and planted a big sweat kiss on his lips. When we broke the kiss his soul was no were to be seen.
Don't get the wrong picture, but I felt him inside my body, his soul has next to mine. I felt all his emotions and remembered all his memories, it was … like… no I can´t descript it. I leaned in and kissed his body, at first there was no reaction. I pushed him back in the bed and kept kissing him more desperately. And then suddenly he was back in his body, kissing my back. That meant I had done what I had to do, so I slowly stopped kissing him and pulling away. But when he realized what I was doing he griped my shirt and bulled right be back into a rougher and even more desperate kiss. We were looking each other the eyes, sea meeting sky for the first time ever in this way.
'Would you dance, if I asked you to dance? Would you run if I asked, and never look back? Would you cry, if you saw me crying? And would you save my soul? Like I saved yours?
Would you tremble, if I touched your lips? Oh please tell me this. Now would you die, for the one you love?
I'll hold you in my arms, tonight.
I can be your hero, I can kiss away the pain.
Would you swear that you'll be mine? Or would you lie? Would you run and hide? Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? I don't care... as long you're here, tonight.'
please comment!
