The Lightning Thief (Argo/hbh's Version)

Chaos. Literal chaos. (partially because of me tho(Ella)) FT. McStellan

JUNE 19TH

Ella's POV:

"Jalen, if you don't kick their asses I'm going to give you all of our chores for the rest of the week!" I yelled as Jalen was playing her game of football. I'm not competitive, I'm here entirely for the fun of seeing people being beaten like a punch bag. 

I'm not going to elaborate but, yes, Jalen won. After the game she walked to me.

"Good job." I said. 

A/N: You really know you did something good when ella says that.

Jalen nodded. "Thanks." 

"Go do your thing." I said before walking away. 

I saw to girls, Holleigh and Diana I thought were their names. They were whispering stuff to each other in a hushed voice. I tried to listen to what they were saying but as soon as they saw me they hurried away. I guess having a certain reputation at camp isn't very nice in these kind of moments. It sometimes felt... lonely.

Yes, I had him, but he was so busy with the lord... Yes, I also had my siblings. But they're siblings. It's like: Oh we have the same dad, we just have to bond. It's not that we meet each other on some random occasion and because we talk to each other and hang out and just do stuff together we find out we care for each other. We create a friendship, a bond, and, in the end, I'd be willing to die for them, and they would for me.

But no, I didn't have that. And I was afraid I never would.

Because the problem is, I'm scared. I'm scared to make friends, scared they'll hate me, scared they'll push me away when they find out I'm such a big traitor... It all terrifies me, even as daughter of Ares. So I just stuck with what I had back then: Him. Maybe that's why I followed him, promised him that whatever he'd have to go through would be something we'd face together. That's why I decided to get in a play that would either get me killed or grant me safety for lifetime... 

Because at least, at least I'd have someone on my side. My light at the end of the tunnel...

I walked to the forest, to a certain spot only he and I would know it was a special place. There I waited for him.

I leaned against a tree as I heard a branch breaking under his foot before he came in the clearing. "Hey there. I've noticed you fucked up the plan." Was the first thing I said. Luke scoffed. "How was I supposed to know that girl would give it to the other one." 

"You should've just took it!" I said back. "She was dying!" Luke yelled back. "She wouldn't have made it if I didn't give her nectar!" "Since when the fuck do you care about some unclaimed little shits? We have a-"

"She's has been claimed!" Luke interrupted me. "And by Demeter."

"Tell that to Kronos." I said. Luke sighed and pulled me in a kiss. "I love you." Luke said. "And I'm sorry I messed up. But I don't want you to get mad at me, let Kronos do that part." I looked at the ground. "Sure. But I will make sure that you're having a very nice talk with him this night."

I gave Luke a kiss again and walked away, giving a random dryad that overheard our conversation such a death glare I was sure she wouldn't spread the word of us being traitors.

Luke's POV:

Gods, why do I care so much for that Anathea girl. Making sure she's pushed away from Heja I kind of pulled the kid to me. I chose her over the plan, risking my own.. my what, though. My life, my health, insanity? I had no idea what was going to happen, especially now that Ella has made sure I was going to have to face the consequences of it. Tonight. Yes, I love her, sometimes she's just hard to deal with. Everybody has that, right?
