Yeet

I'm writing this late at night so if it doesn't look good you can insult me as much as you want (My self esteem can't go any lower, honestly. Like, it's already in hell.)

While Luke and Annabeth led the three siblings to Camp Half-Blood, Annabeth continuously asked Percy about why he looked so different compared to his brother and sister, only getting shrugs and never a straight answer.

They continued to walk until Jason nervously tugged on Luke's sleeve. "Uh, Mr. Luke, can we take a break, please?" He asked, afraid of getting yelled at. Luke just smiled and nodded.

"Of course, and you don't need to be formal, just call me Luke or something. Kids your age shouldn't be afraid to not be formal." Luke told him while he looked around for a place to set up camp. Percy smiled at the two and from the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of silver. His seven year old mind decided it was rational to check it out, not caring if it was dangerous.

He stared at it and realized it was a silver knife lodged in a tree. He smirked and started to climb up the tree. He swung across branches easily, until he reached the knife. He grabbed it and tugged on it hard, frowning when it didn't come out. He tugged again. Close, but no cigar. He put both hands around the handle, pulling as hard as he could. It came out and he lost his balance, falling.

Because the rest of the group had been staring at him in awe, they were all ready to catch them. Luke was the only one close enough to reach him, Percy landing in his arms and making them both fall. Percy looked up at Luke, and they both started laughing. The nine year old pat Percy on the head before shoving him off. Percy squeaked as he landed on the ground. Thalia laughed at him until Percy held up the knife, pretending to be actually angry.

Thalia hid behind Annabeth because she was the only one her same height. Annabeth held up her hands in surrender while Jason rolled on the ground laughing. Percy just chuckled and put the knife in his belt. Thalia stayed hidden behind Annabeth while she blushed. Luke rolled his eyes at the four and finally spotted a place to set up camp. Picking up Jason and grabbing Percy's wrist while he walked to the area. Thalia and Annabeth cautiously stayed closely behind. Well Thalia did, but Annabeth was forced to.

Percy tossed down his back pack and fell onto the soft dirt as if it was a warm bed that had been calling his name. Luke stretched, popping noises coming from his bones before grabbing a folded up tent from his enchanted backpack. Thalia forced Percy up and pushed him to Luke so they could set up the tent.

After they finished putting it up, it was large enough to fit the five in, with very little space, though. Percy immediately called a corner and set down his blanket and pillow.

"Aw, Perce, I was gonna take that corner!" Thalia groaned. Percy just shouted a loud 'HA!' from his bundle of blankets in the corner. Luke raised his hand.

"Well, I call sleeping near Percy!" He yelled. They all looked at him weirdly. "What? He's more of a leader than us all and I'm not gonna die first." Luke defended himself. Percy beamed and gave Luke a high five while he set up his stuff. Jason called sleeping on top of Thalia, who called the next best corner. Annabeth just shrugged and set up her stuff near Thalia.

Yes hello hi my name is time skip. This is like. I dunno let's say 3 hours later. (12:00 AM)

Luke stared up at the darkness. He could feel sleep weighing down his eyelids but he didn't wanna sleep. He knew sleep would mean nightmares and those fucking sucked. Luke looked over at Percy. He smirked as he saw a line of drool down his chin, amused. He sighed and sat up, looking around at the rest of the group. Annabeth had managed to roll over and sling an arm across Thalia's stomach without Thalia waking up and killing her. Jason was... wait, where's Jason?

Luke felt panic rise up in him and he gently shook Percy. "Percy, wake up, please." He muttered. Percy groaned and opened his eyes slowly.

"Luke...? What's wrong, man?" Percy asked tiredly.

"Jason. I can't find him. Help." Luke said. Percy's eyes widened and he launched out the tent, looking around wildly while Luke continued to wake up the girls. Thalia joined Percy in looking around, but she was looking for any monsters that were unlucky enough to be around at that time.

Luke felt a tug on his sleeve and he quickly turned, hoping to see Jason, but he was met with the gray calculating eyes of Annabeth. She pointed to a trail of huge footprints and then tiny footprints beside them. Luke grabbed Percy's shoulder and pointed to the trail. Percy nodded and grabbed Thalia's wrist, leading them.

As they got closer, they all felt an anxious feeling in them. Like they were afraid something bad was about to happen. Luke and Annabeth stared at each other nervously while Thalia and Percy stomped ahead.

Percy and Thalia suddenly stopped. Luke almost running into the two. Percy collapsed to his knees while a choked sob came from Thalia. Luke looked ahead and saw Jason laying on a rock, his mouth opened in a silent scream as his glazed eyes stayed fixed on the sky. Beside him was a grinning cyclops, rubbing his hands greedily. Luke growled and pulled his sword, Backbiter. The cyclops, seeing the light from the sword, turned quickly.

Luke charged forward and slung himself onto its shoulders, laughing as it tried to get him off. Luke looked over at Percy who stared at him in awe.

"Hey Percy look! I'm a cowboy!" Luke yelled, swinging around his sword as if it was a lasso before growling and pushing it into the cyclops' head. It poofed into golden dust and Luke fell on his ass, chuckling. "That's for killing an innocent little kid." He growled at the golden dust, kicking it angrily.

Percy stood up and wiped stray tears that had been rolling down his cheeks and stepped closer to his little brother's corpse. He kissed Jason's forehead and closed his eyes.

"He's just sleeping. Not dead." Annabeth's voice came from behind them. Percy nodded and put down his backpack, grabbing onto a blanket and wrapping it around his little brother. It was his favorite blanket. Thalia came closer and hugged Percy. Percy pat her back before pulling away and muttering something to her, making more tears form in her eyes as she nodded

Percy looked over at Luke. "Can we just continue walking? Please?" He pleaded. Luke nodded and started to pack up. Their ball of energy named Jason was gone, but that wasn't gonna stop their journey to their safe place. Their home.

Yeah, hope it wasn't too bad. Bai. -Wink Wonk
