The Camp Struggle ( with the help of some Egyptians)

Lieutenant Heros

LAHARA

I have been sitting for days. Just waiting for him to wake up. I am close to sleep, but can't sleep. There is movement on my lap. My eyes shoot open. He is waking up.

I look down at his wondrous blue eyes searching mine. Then he starts to get up.

"Oh, no you don't. Lay back down." I say.

"Do I know you?" My heart sank.

"Yea!" I say. "Will get in here!"

When Will ran in, Luke was sitting on the bed and I was leaning against one of the walls. Will does a check up and asks what he remembers.

"I remember dying. I remember meeting Hades and being assigned to Commander Quo. Do you know where I can find her." I raise my hand. " Really, where?"

"Right here. I'm Commander Quo."

"Why do you not have your hood up?" He realizes, "Why don't I have mine up?"

"You've been out for awhile and there's a lot of stuff you don't remember?"

"Like what?" He asks.

"Like everyone here knows who we really are and you are Luke. My real name is Lahara."

"Where are we?" Luke asks.

"On a ship called the Argo III. Returning from a quest." I say. I then zone out thinking about what this amnesia will mean for the warriors. For the team. For us... for me.

LUKE

I woke up to a pretty girl looking at me. I have the feeling that I knew her. She was happy to see me. I start to get up.

"Oh no you don't. Lay back down." She pushed me back down. I swear it's on the tip of my tongue.

"Do I know you?" I ask curious to know. Her smile drops for an instant. I feel a pang in my chest. Why do I feel so sad seeing her sad?

"Yea!" she says regaining her cool. She gets up and leans against the wall. "Will get in here!"

Why did she move?

Why do I care?

This tall, tan, blonde boy runs in. He does the standard doctor check up.

I know this boy. This is Will. Will Solace.

Memories of camp flood my mind. I remember everything. Until the meeting with Hades. Then black.

"What do you remember?" Will asks.

"I remember dying. I remember meeting with Hades and being assigned to Commander Quo." I suddenly realize that I don't see anyone with a hood. "Do you know where I can find her?"

The cute girl, wait cute! never mind. Anyway, she raised her hand.

"Great!" I exclaim, "Where?"

"Right here. I'm commander Quo." She stated.

She is commander Quo. As in commander bad @&$.

"Why do you not have your hood up?" I realize, "Why don't I have mine up?"

"You've been out for awhile and there's a lot of stuff you don't remember?"

"Like what?" I asks.

"Like everyone here knows who we really are and you are Luke. My real name is Lahara."

Lahara. That's a beautiful name.

"Where are we?" I ask. I find myself staring at Lahara.

"On a ship called the Argo III. Returning from a quest." I realize that the look the Lahara wears is a cover. She really is sad. And despite myself I almost reach out to grab her hand.

I feels like that's where mine belongs.

In hers.
