A/N: Hey people! Aaaahhh. . . a week away from school. Fall break, I love you. And there's nothing like a long car ride to get you to type up your stories. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter- it's longer than the first chapter, and more in depth.

And so began my relationship with Luke Castellan, if you could call it that. We would meet every day, either at Zeus' Fist or sneak out of our cabins late at night and meet by the lake. As the weeks progressed, more and more of the summer campers trickled in. There was one week that I left to visit my dad, but other than that, life at camp was pretty much the same.

It was later in June that something extraordinary happened. A new camper came, a twelve year old boy by the name of Percy Jackson. Normally, a new camper wasn't super exciting, unless they were claimed into your cabin, but this was different. Percy was a forbidden son of the Big Three, and this caused quite a stir among all of the campers, but especially with Chiron and Annabeth Chase, a daughter of Athena. They both walked around with worried expressions on their faces, but I was more worried about the younger portion of my cabin, who had all developed a crush on Percy. As head counselor, it was my duty to make sure that they didn't destroy each other. It was a relief to meet Luke every night and escape the hairbrushes and mascara tubes that seemed to be constantly flying around the Aphrodite cabin. I was grateful when Percy, Annabeth, and a satyr named Grover left for a quest.

I once asked Luke about what he thought of Percy's quest, but he quickly changed the subject by kissing me. I didn't really mind, just as long as we were making out again. In fact that was all we really did. Kiss, I mean. Which, to tell you the truth, I didn't mind at all. The one thing that slightly irked me was our status; I wanted to become an official couple but whenever I mentioned this to Luke, he refused. Then, I would pout and he would kiss my neck until he finally got a response from me. Of course, I would kiss him back and forget all about what I was saying.

Forget about it until I saw a happy couple walking around camp or at the nightly talks with my cabin mates before we went to bed about who was dating who. I would sigh and clutch my pillow to my chest and try to concentrate, but my mind would begin to wander to Luke. I fantasized about the day that we would be able to walk around camp together, holding hands.

One day, I just snapped. The lights had just been turned off and everyone was settling down into their beds. I waited until it was (nearly) silent and then announced, "I'm going out with Luke Castellan."

I could hear the rustle of blankets and pillows as every single kid sat bolt upright in their beds. It was silent for a half a second, as if it took an instant to process, and then the room spun into a frenzy. Somebody shrieked, and the whole room started screaming at once. One of the boys, Tanner, flipped the lights on and I was momentarily blind. But, I kind of wished I was at that moment. Most of the cabin was crowded around my bed, except for the younger kids who had fallen asleep earlier.

"But. . . what the-?"

"How?"

"Since when?"

I smiled, closed my eyes, and snuggled down into my bed and acted like I wasn't going to tell them for hours.

"Silena!" my brothers and sisters complained.

"Come on, tell us," my half sister, a pretty blonde named Sara said. "You can't just drop a bomb like that and not expect us to want an explanation. That's not fair! How long have you been going out?"

"Well, where do you think I've been disappearing to at free time for the past month?" I asked smugly as I watched every single jaw in the room drop.

"You didn't tell us?"

"I can't believe it!"

"Alright!" I yelled over the commotion. "To bed. And if you so much as make a peep when the lights are turned off, you'll be on kitchen duty for a week."

The Aphrodite cabin grumbled and got into bed. The lights were shut off, and some of the kids began to whisper.

"Zip it!" I yelled.

It was quiet for about thirty seconds, and then the whispers started back up. They all knew I wouldn't actually do anything about their whispering; I loved them all too much. But Aphrodite kids were notorious for their gossiping. I wondered what I had done; news of Luke and I being a couple would be all over Camp tomorrow. I just hoped Luke wouldn't be too mad.

"I can't believe you!"

Luke was standing over me, his body shaking with anger. His blue eyes were fierce and his scar made him look extremely dangerous. He started pacing back and forth across the sand as he ran his fingers through his hair. I sat on the beach with my arms wrapped around my legs, my chin resting on my knees.

"Why the Hades did you say anything? I told you not to tell ANYONE!"

I started to cry. "I'm sorry," I said.

"Sorry doesn't fix it, now does it?"

I started to cry harder. "What do you want me to do Luke? Do you not like me? Are embarrassed that I told people we were going out?"

He crouched down so that he was eye level to me. He lifted my chin with his finger, forcing me to look at him. I stared into his blue, blue eyes and felt the tears trickle out of the corners of my eyes.

"Listen Silena. I think you're beautiful. Beautiful and charming and funny. The reason I didn't want you telling people about us is because I'm leaving Camp at the end of the summer session."

He took something out of his pocket. It was a tiny velvet box. At first, I though he was going to propose, but then he opened it to reveal a small silver scythe charm. I gasped.

"Luke," I warned. "This is Kronos' sign. Why are you working with him? Come on, this is really dangerous."

"Use this to call me," he said. "I need you to give me information. I leave tomorrow"

"Luke, I'm not kidding around. I don't want to do this anymore."

After fastening the charm to my charm bracelet, he pecked me on the lips and stood up. "Bye Silena," he said. "You promised."

And with that, he walked away, leaving me to try and control my breathing. He was right: I had promised him servitude. And knowing him, he would use me to do his bidding.

Well, I hope you enjoyed it! Review and tell me what you think of it. Also, thanks to the lovelies who reviewed on the first chapter. You guys rock!
