T.H POV:
Once Percy left me in the cave, I let out a sigh, and sat down sticking my feet in the water. I had the same dream again, me floating in a sphere, Annabeth crying, Percy with a grim expression and that strange blonde boy. Why do I have this kind of dream? What does it mean? Is it just a dream? Though I feel like its something more than just a dream. Oh, well its better not to worry about it. No upsetting thoughts, No. Carter can actually be happy here. I just got to smile, so he doesn't worry about me. As long as I have him, I will be fine. I move my feet in the water then slide down, emerging myself in the water. Holding my breath for a while, then tried to breath and I could actually breath. I'm breathing underwater. It's so calm and peaceful, I can think clearly. I'm glad that Percy showed me this place. I float to the bottom and lay on the floor looking up. I hear a horn in the distance; I guess it means breakfast though I don't really want to go. I'm just going to lay here, I stare upwards then I see a figure above me. I control the water around me to push me up, and a guy with blonde hair, the one from my dreams was standing right there.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" I ask, I thought no one else knew of this place besides Percy.
"My name is Luke, and you are?" He smiles, he sounds like a nice guy but something about him seems... off... So I just stay in the water.
"Tessa. My name is Tessa. What are you doing here?" I ask quietly.
"Just looking around. This would make a nice spa, don't you think?" He looks around.
"No, I don't... this is mine and Percy's place. Not some spa." He turns and smiles, like he likes my defiance. I stare at him, holding my ground.
He stalks over to me and suddenly grabs my hair and pulls me out of the water. I bite my lip and grabbed his wrist, digging my nails into his flesh. He chuckles, "You have some fire in ya. You should join me, you will be a very good warrior."
Gasping from the pain, I never thought getting pulled by my hair would hurt so much. I blink away my tears, and glare at him "Never! Now, Let go of me!" He grins and continues to drag me by my hair. I then hear Percy's voice calling me from the tunnel that leads to the surface. "Percy! Help me!" I scream, not knowing what else to shout. I hear his footsteps go faster and getting closer, as he running towards us. He soon appears and stands on the other side of the cave panting a bit.
"Luke, let go of her." He says through his teeth. Luke pulls me up off the ground and smiles quite evilly and looks at me, as tears now run down my face from the pain, he has me in a certain way so I can't support myself, but still touching the ground.
"Nah, I think I like her. She would be a great, Pet, for Kronos." My breath is shaky, I feel so scared, this scenario is all most like the scenario of how my parents died.
"NO! Let her go, Luke!" He shouted, Percy must not like this Luke, and with a sigh, Luke tosses me aside. I skid across the ground a bit, causing to scrape up my arm and the side of my face. Sand goes into the scrapes which stings more.
"Fine. Don't need her anyways." He smiles at Percy, "I'll be going now. I had my fun." He walks off into a secret passage way, disappearing. Percy runs over to me, picking me up, even though I could walk just fine.
"Its gonna be okay, sis. The water will heal you" He sets me down in the water, and rubs off the sand, as the water heals my cuts.
"Whose Kronos?" I asked, after a while.
"Leader of the Titans." He says, watching me as I get out of the water.
"I see, ah, thanks for saving me" I smile at him, feeling hopeless and useless. I should have been more careful. "So is he Kronos son?" He shakes his head.
"He's the son of Hermes. Luke trying to bring back Kronos." He looks at the water, and the small ripples on the surface of the water. "and your welcome. you didn't show up for breakfast so I was worried about my little sister" I blink at him.
"I'm not really your sister... But its nice of thinking you as a big brother" I smile at him.
"You don't have to force yourself... You can cry if you want..." I stare at him, how could he tell. Tears fall down my face, feeling relieved that I don't have to hide it, even if was for a moment. I cling onto his shoulder and cry my eyes. I cried about several things, my parents death, all the pain I felt everyday after their death, from when Luke grabbed my hair and tossed me aside, and I cried not knowing yet, for the pain that has yet to come.
