(First chapter is in Luke's POV)
The last thing I remember was dying, I know I had made the sacrifice to save the world thus destroying kronos and myself since I had been his host. But now it was obvious that something wasn't right I was supposed to be dead, not alive. I looked around, noticing that I was in an abandoned field. There was the sound of birds tweeting in the trees, I looked around wondering where the heck I was. I was hungry and cold, shivering slightly. The only place I remembered was Camp Half Blood but considering the "betrayal" I decided against going to the camp. I wondered if Percy would help me. I started walking from the field towards this city I could see in the distance. I'm pretty sure it was New York. I eventually made my way up to some apartment buildings and hesitantly knocking on random doors asking for a Percy Jackson. This lady answered one of the doors and gave me directions to where the Jackson's lived. I thanked her and headed off towards Percy's house. As I was walking, I thought back to the last time I had seen him, I knew it had been when we were fighting against one another. I stopped when I saw a young man probably Percy standing out Infront of an apartment building, I resisted the urge to yell his name but there was no mistaking the dark ebony messy haired male for Percy. I knew it was him. I looked at him, waiting to see if he would turn. I must've stepped on a leaf or something because slowly he turned and stared at me.
'shit' I thought to myself, he's seen me. Percy's face went pale, and his eyes went wide. I wanted to run away to hide, but it was no use. He was walking towards me now. ".... hey Percy..." I looked at him, as he stopped in front of me. ".... Luke what are you doing here.... You died...." I frowned slightly, still looking at him. ".... I know I died...but for some reason I'm not dead anymore.... well...I mean I've probably died and been brought back...." He stared at me probably thinking I was a ghost. "But how...?" He went to hit me in the arm, but I stopped him. Percy nearly jumped away from me. "What the hell? You're not a ghost..." I shook my head slightly annoyed by him calling me a ghost. "No, I'm not a ghost Jackson. now can you please stop freaking out and help me?...I don't know how or why I'm alive." He slightly nodded. "Come on..." I followed him to his house and went in after he did. The apartment must've not had people in it at the moment because it was quiet. ".... Luke? do you know if someone brought you back?..." I looked back at him, shaking my head. "No...but all I remember is well.... what happened at the battle of Manhattan...and how I died..." He looked at me slightly nodding. ".... Well...We should probably contact .... camp..." I shook my head. "No. we can't go there Percy...I'll probably be killed again if I step foot in camp." I sat down at the table and looked at him. "We're not contacting camp." Percy sighed, then looked at me. "We have to...There has to be a reason why you've been brought back to life Luke..." He went a bit quiet after he said this, which made me suspicious as to if he was hiding some kind of secret. I sighed. "Fine...but your contacting camp not me...." He nodded and went to go upstairs then he stopped and turned towards me. "Luke...you know we forgive you for betraying the camp and everything...right?..." I frowned slightly and looked at him. "....why? ...I betrayed everyone...." He sighed. "well yes...but i forgive you and so does the camp...Because you died a hero." I looked away at this, because i wasn't used to Percy calling me a "hero" when i basically betrayed everyone i knew. He went upstairs and brought down some clothes for me since I was still in the armour/clothes i wore when i died.
"here...these should fit you...there's a bathroom down the hall. you can freshen up while i contact camp." I nodded slightly, taking the clothes. "....thank you percy..." I said quietly and went to the bathroom and shut the door, locking it.*Time Skip*
After having a shower, I got out and dressed in the bathroom. my stomach growled probably telling me i needed to eat. I sighed and left the room. "Percy?..." I called out, looking for him. "In the kitchen." came his reply. I frowned slightly and entered the kitchen. "....um...what do i do with the old clothes and armor?..." He looked up from a device that demi-gods were allowed to use to contact camp incase of emergencies or if something was wrong. "We can get rid of them if you want?..." He sounded a bit weird, like closed off. "okay..." just then my stomach growled again. Percy noticed and chuckled a little. "You do know you can ask me to get you something to eat right?..." I blushed slightly and nodded. "yea...um could i have something to eat?..." He nodded, pointing to the fridge. "There's loads of food in there, make whatever you want." I nodded and set the old clothes and armor down on a chair. I made a pbj sandwich absent-mindedly which Percy noticed. "....um...what's with the peanut butter and jam?..." I stopped and looked at him. ".... oh...um....so i kind of lied about remembering stuff..." He frowned but nodded to say i could go on. ".... there's like memories that I can't remember and stuff...but for some reason i remember peanut butter jelly sandwiches..." Percy looked at me and frowned slightly. "....oh..." It sounded as if he knew why I was happily making myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. I looked at him, setting the knife down. "Percy....what aren't you telling me?...And don't lie." He looked at me. "....I know why you remember peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches Luke....it's because your.....mother used to make them for you when you were young..." I froze, nobody except Annabeth and Chiron knew about that, but now it looked like Percy did too. "....Don't mention my mother Percy...please just don't I don't want to talk about it." He nodded slightly and turned away. I turned back to the sandwhich and frowned, not really wanting it anymore but who cares.
Percy was quiet for some time. "Hey...the device thing is making a weird noise Percy..." I nudged his arm, he looked up at me then at the device "oh...right..." Percy pressed a button on the device and Annabeth came on the screen.
As soon as she saw me, her face went pale like Percy's did. "....Percy....what is going on...Why is Luke there?..." Percy looked at me then said "I don't know but it looks like someone or something has brought Luke back from the dead." Her eyes widened and she stared at me then looked at Percy through the screen. "Chiron wants both you and 'him' (him meaning Luke) to come to camp now." Then the screen went black. I turned to Percy. "....Percy...are you and her...." I couldn't finish the sentence knowing the answer would hurt, because I had had feelings for him for ages. But if he and Annabeth were together then I obviously didn't have a chance. Percy didn't answer and told me to wait in the car.
