The Afterlife

"Luke Castellan."

Luke turned to face the judges. They were sitting on three long chairs and they're faces were not visible but he knew who they were.

"Minos."

"That's lord Minos to you." Luke gritted his teeth.

"Yes lord Minos"

"That's better. Now stand straight, don't hunch over." Luke glared at him.

"Does it really matter? I'm dead anyways." I said.

"Ah, we got a smart alec here huh? Well if I were you I wouldn't be arguing with the man that's about to choose your fate." Luke rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. Just make your judgement already." Rhadamanthus, Minos, and Aeacus leaned in closer and started talking.

"I say we put this one in the fields of punishment. After all, he did help in the rise of Lord Kronos and the war."

"But at the same time he was the saviour of the war."

"True but at the same time...." And it went on forever like that. They kept bringing it back and forth. Luke started about what was happening at camp. Was Annabeth okay? He winced. He remembered when he was dying, how Annabeth told him she didn't love him in that way. The truth is, he didn't either. His one love forever will be Thalia. He knew as the light was fading from his eyes that Annabeth was to be with Percy, no matter how oblivious they acted toward each other's feelings. He started worrying about Thalia. Is she okay? But it didn't matter. She probably hated Luke and was regretting ever being his friend. Luke blinked, trying to force the tears to go back.

"We have made the decision." Rhadamanthus finally said. "Luke Castellan is to be put in... the fields of Asphodel. All of the bad crimes he has committed in his past life has cancelled out all the good leaving us with no choice. You will be able to remember all of your memories and will be taken immediately."
--------------------------LINE BREAK--------------
Luke didn't remember how long it had been since he had been, well dead. Having memories didn't really help, as his past hadn't been quite a happy one. He passed by a few people, all with blank faces as he walked in the golden wheat of the field. He wondered how long he had been, a decade, century? For all he knew, it could've been only a few months. He walked past some more people. He kept thinking about the war when he bumped into something. He looked around, there was nothing there then what? He tried walking again when he noticed something. Where the wheat was supposed to be, there was grass. He looked down at his feet, he was still standing in wheat. He looked back and he fell backwards. There was a huge town with fountains and a few people walking around. There was a bakery and mansions. It looked like paradise.

Paradise Luke thought. Could this be? Did he find the border to Elysium? No way. How is this even possible? Maybe he was just dreaming and-

"Annabeth?" He saw a blonde haired girl a few feet away.

"ANNABETH!" He screamed. He hadn't felt this happy since, well since he died. Annabeth turned. It was definitely her only a bit, older. She still had the same grey eyes that looked like she was thinking a million things at once. She looked happy, then confused, and finally angry.

"Luke?!" She started to run toward him. "Is that really you?!" She ran and then she fell, as if she had hit something.

"Are you okay?!"

"I've been through worse." She laughed bitterly as if it were some cruel joke. Luke reached out to help her up and he hit something. He realized there was an invisible wall, a barrier to keep people out of Elysium.

"Where's Percy and Thalia and..."

"Whoa there calm down. Come, I'll tell you what you've missed. " She began to walk when she notice I wasn't walking. "Aren't you coming?"

"I can't"

"Why not?" She was starting to get mad.

"There's a barrier, it won't let me through." Her eyes widened.

"What?! No there can't be I finally found you and-" Tears streamed her face. "I missed you."

"I missed you too, Annabeth. Don't worry at least we've got each other. Now where's Percy?" She turned as tears once more had returned.

"He's still alive."

"Oh. How old are you when you, you know....?"

"Seventy. I probably would've survived longer but I guess the Fates had something else in mind."

"Oh." And they talked. Annabeth told him everything that he had missed. The Giant war, her new friends, Camp Jupiter....

"So you and Percy finally got together? I knew it, Thalia said that-" He remembered.

"Oh my Gods, is Thalia still alive, how is she, what ha-"

"Calm down Luke. Um, there's something I forgot to tell you. When you died Thalia, she..." she turned so he couldn't see her. "She became a Hunter." Luke's heart shattered. She probably had forgotten about him. Annabeth probably noticed something was wrong. "Oh yeah, did I forgot to mention that Thalia has a brother?"
-------------------------LINE BREAK-------------

He sat there laughing with Annabeth and Percy. The two looked so happy together it made Luke wonder if Thalia is ever going to see him again. That sounded selfish. Wanting someone to die? But according to how many people had died, Thalia may never come. He lost hope about it a while ago and knew him and Thalia is an impossible thing to happen. Percy and Annabeth said that they'll see him later. Luke smiled and watched the two walk down the path to Elysium. He looked around at the view, something he never really thought about. Hades' castle loomed in the distance with a blood red sky. He noticed how the field of Asphodel glittered in the limited amount of light they had. He laid on his back and just stared at the sky, thinking about how death may not be so bad.

"Pretty amazing view isn't it?" A voice said. He turned. Beside him on the other side of the barrier was a girl lying on her back beside Luke. A girl with short black hair and electric blue eyes shining in the light.

"Thalia."

Sorry for not updating for a while. I'll try doing them more frequently now. I haven't had the time to do much at all with finals right around the corner. Thank you for being patient and all of your votes and comments. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!
