Chapter 4 - Underworld

Luke was smiling at the stars. He remembered all the good times he had with Thalia, Annabeth and all his other siblings and good ol' friends. But it all stopped when he was corrupted by Kronos. He shook his head and began to ran around. Then, he later on bumped into Silena.

"Luke, what are you doing here?" Silena asked.

"Just bored. I'm trying to get some things out of my head. Dunno, why?"

"I was just expecting Charlie. Have you seen him?" Luke shrugged.

"Oh, and if you see him, tell him to meet me at the fountain. Bye!" And Silena skipped happily away from him.

Luke suddenly heard a muffled laugh behind him. When he turned around, he saw Berkendoff laughing his heart out.

" She didn't even see me! And I was just behind you! I'm a ghost! I have the power of invisibility! And don't get angry at me Luke but I was planning to scare you." Berkendoof patted Luke's shoulder.

Then Luke came back to his senses after feeling numb," Hey, Berkendoff, Silena told me to tell to meet_" Before Luke could finish, Berkendoff cut him off.

"I know, I know. Silena asked you to tell me to meet her at the fountain. Bye, Luke. My girl's waiting for me. And Berkendoff winked. Luke just rolled his eyes.

When Berkendoff was already out of sight, Luke sighed," So I'm left alone - Again."

Luke continued to roam around and he stopped dead in his tracks. He realized he just arrived at the River of Lithe. After many minutes of debating and protests going on his head, Luke decided to sit down.

" So that's where dead souls get rebirth, huh." Luke muttered to himself. Do I want to experience the good things I experienced before? Do I want to correct my mistakes? Maybe I could try. He thought. He went nearer to the shore line and positioned himself to dive. But something kept tugging at the back of his mind. It was like a warning. When he already dived, a voice interrupted him.

" I wouldn't do that if I were you." A voice said thoughtfully. When Luke turned around, he saw a beautiful girl with her brown hair braided and had obsidian eyes. She was just right about his age. Maybe younger. She looks like a leader of somewhere. She has an aura that doesn't make mess with her.

" You can sit, you know." she offered thoughtfully.

" Sure." Luke sat down next to her." Why did you stop me?"

" I just have a feeling that it's not the right time." She looked down at her feet.

"So...What's your name? Besides, I won't laugh at you or anything." Luke looked at her in the eye.

Reyna pulled her gaze back at her feet," Reyna, I'm Roman since I have a feeling you're greek. Daughter of Bellona. Pure Roman. You?"

"Hi, Reyna. I'm Luke, Luke Castellan. Well, and you got it right. I am Greek. I am son Hermes or Mercury in Rome. God of the thieves and highways."

" You know, It's getting late now, you should make up your mind now." Reyna stood.

She offered her hand and Luke took it," Well, you were the first one to stop me. It's all your fault."

" So," Reyna paused momentarily," Do you want to do it?" Luke nodded.

" Are you really sure." Reyna grinned and Luke nodded once more.

"Are you really really sure?" Reyna began to chuckle, Luke's eye twitched.

" I already said yes! Can I go now ?" Luke muttered.

Suddenly, Reyna ran to the shore line. She signaled Luke to come over.

" And let's begin! I'll race ya' " Reyna looked at him and they both dived.

Waddya think? FINE or TERRIBLE.
