Chapter 14: Luke and I Realize Our True Feelings
We reached our safe house by the first crack of dawn. Annabeth was tired and Luke had offered to carry her, which of course, I thought was hilarious! Luke never carried me. Well, I guess I weigh twice Annabeth's size.
When we arrived at the safe house Luke gave Annabeth some ambrosia and we got her some jeans and Luke's over-sized army jacket. You know, out of all the annoying little kids I've met if the world, Annabeth was by far my favorite. She just had to be a daughter of Athena, I mean really! She was always sprouting trivia and all that boring stuff, and she was just so smart. At first it was annoying but you kind of get used to that kind of stuff.
We spent the night in the safe house, with me as look out for the night. That morning we to a bus to Connecticut just to get out of Virginia and Luke said he had a safe house in Westport.
I was lookout again that night in Westport. Just my luck, I fell asleep and a giant dracaena showed up next to the safe house. A dracaena basically a snake woman.
"THALIA, you have to get up!" Luke was shaking my arm.
"Oh my gods! It's … a dracaena!" I exclaimed.
Luke ran over and started fighting it. He had almost stabbed it in the foot but I picked him up and grabbed him! Annabeth and I ran over to save him.
"Luke!" I cried but it was useless, the dracaena was going to kill him if I didn't do something quick. Then I did something really hasty, I jumped on the snake woman's back.
Silena Jackson's POV
I waited in the stupid line in the Underworld. It was seriously retarded. I walked up to Minos and he said, "Silena Jackson, Daughter of Poseidon."
Then I wasn't there anymore, I was now in the same place I'd lost Thalia and Luke. How could I lose them like that? How was I alive? Well, I was so I guess it doesn't matter.
Thalia's POV
"Thalia, no!" Luke screamed at me.
"Oh, Luke I had to and you know it! I can't just leave you here!" I yelled.
"Thalia get down and take Annabeth, I'll be fine! Just go!" he shot back.
"Luke jump, now!" I screamed.
Then he jumped. He landed on the ground and looked up at me on the snake woman's back. "Thalia, jump!" he screamed.
"I can't!"
I started climbing down the dracaena and it grabbed my leg in its mouth. I was now be dangled in the air by my leg.
Then something strange happened, I was free falling. I was falling about fifteen feet expecting to land on the ground but instead I landed into a fourteen-year-old's arms.
"Deja-Vu, right Luke?" I joked.
"Hi, I'm Luke Castellan," he said.
"Thalia Grace, nice to meet you," I replied.
It was just like the day we met, two years ago. I looked at my cell phone, it was exactly two years and then I didn't know him, now …
I was in love with Luke Castellan.
I looked up at him and whispered, "I love you."
Luke looked up, stunned. Then he looked down at me and said, "Exactly what I was thinking."
We stared into each other's eyes and I said, "Luke Castellan, kiss me."
He leaned down, still holding my and pressed his lips to mine. We were in love.
"Ew! Someone call Dr. Gross!" Annabeth piped up from behind a small tree.
Luke and I pulled away and he set me down. We started laughing and Annabeth looked at us strange, I guess it was just a Thaluke thing.
