The Daughter of War

Chapter Four

"Excuse me! Excuse me! Ladies and Gentlemen, the son of Poseidon is coming through. A hero is coming through. Move it," Grover yelled as he led Percy to the food table. I rolled my eyes fondly at his antics. Luke chuckles and squeezes me closer into his body, "Are we sure that Grover is a great godfather to our first kid?" I giggle, "Yes. Because he brought you to me. If it wasn't for Grover, we wouldn't be together." Luke kissed my cheek, "You're right pretty eyes. As always." 

I yell at Paris whose throwing things at Dylan, "Paris stop throwing things at your brother! Don't make me come over there, young man!" Paris drops what he was holding and gives me an innocent smile, "Sorry mom!" Everyone chuckles and Chiron smiles, as soon as Luke and I started dating, we became like the camp's parents. 

I saw Chiron give Luke a thumbs up and Luke nods, I scrunched my nose in confusion. What is he doing? Luke stepped forward to the center a little bit, "Fellow campers! Tonight might be a celebration for the gods and for the red team's win, but tonight is also a celebration for something else," He started as everyone quieted and paid attention to him, "Miley Aetos, ever since we met and played all sorts of pranks on everyone, I knew you were the girl for me," Luke threw me an apple and got down on one knee. I covered my mouth in surprise and tears appeared in my eyes. "Will you give me the honor of calling you Mrs. Castellan?" Luke asked, opening a ring box to show the most beautiful engagement ring box I'd ever seen. I sniffled and smiled, "Yes. Yes, yes, yes! I will marry you!" 

Everyone cheered loudly and Luke smiled, putting the ring on my finger and kissing me. "Yeah, dad! Congrats, mom!" I heard Marco scream. The celebration kicked back off, but with more joy. I smiled and hugged Luke, "I love you, Luke." Luke smiled and kissed my head, "I love you more, Mrs. Castellan."

Chiron walked over to us, "Congrats you two. I'm happy to see that you two will stay together." I went to open my mouth but was cut off by the campfire roaring louder and growing bigger, causing gasps and for Luke to get in front of me. Morales and Jake ran over and drew their swords, covering me. "I can fight you guys!" I yelled, only for Jake to reply, "You my dear mom, just got engaged. It would be a shame for you to die now." 

The fire transformed into Hades and I gulped in nervousness. "Percy Jackson, show yourself!" Hades said looking around. Hades through a fireball towards the food table and everyone around it scattered like rats. Luke held me in my place as soon as Hades started throwing fire everywhere, causing many people to run for cover. Chiron comes up and draws his swords, "Hades!" 

Hades ignores Chiron, "Percy Jackson, bring me the bolt. Be a good boy." Hades looks around as Luke tightens his hug on me, "Hand it to me and I will exchange it for your mother." I look at Chiron in a panic, "Chiron." Chiron nods and doesn't take his eyes off Hades, "Percy. Don't listen Percy!"

Percy fast walks forward to face Hades and I shove my face into Luke's chest as Percy points to Hades, "My mother's gone!" Hades grins as he looks at Percy, "No, your mother is still alive. I sent the Minotaur to abduct her. She is here with me in the Underworld." I mumble to Luke so that Hades doesn't hear it, "He's keeping up that track record with abduction huh?" Luke snickers and coughs to cover it up. Hades produces a fireball in his hand, showing Percy's mother to him as she looks sadly at him, "Percy." 

Hades swipes the fire out and Percy looks furious at Hades, "What have you done with my mother?" Hades leans forward, "If you ever want to see your mother again, you will bring me the bolt." Hades vanishes and the fire goes back to normal. 

Percy walks back to Chiron, "Chiron, I have to go get her." Luke sighs in relief and hugs me. "Percy you don't have the bolt," Chiron says sadly. I look around to see everyone heading back to their cabins for the night. I guess that fun experience was too much for one night. Luke kisses my head, "We might as well follow in their footsteps. We can't help Jackson right now." I sigh, "I guess your right, but if he decides to go on a quest to get her-" Luke cut me off with a kiss, "I know I can't stop you, but they'll come to me for something. I just know it. Let's get you packed and spend the time we have before you run off to help, together. I want to please my fiance." 

I grin and kiss Luke, tugging him towards his cabin. I hear everyone in the background cheering and whistling as they walk to their cabins, watching us leave.
