terrified of me."☠︎︎

















LUKE OFTEN HAD RESTLESS NIGHTS where it was hard to fall asleep, he didn't know why, he just had some invisible needles prodding at him. So he would sit by the dock, dip his legs into the chilly water, and even sometimes take a swim. It calmed his nerves, and even though the cold nipping of the water woke him up even more it made him feel better.

Whilst Isabell hated the lake, she wasn't a strong swimmer first of all and hated the idea of swimming with creatures, she just wasn't a water person in general. But it was a nice view, and she enjoyed skipping rocks against the waves. She liked to go when nobody was there, so she couldn't be shoved in or bothered, the only other time she went was when Luke practically dragged her there.

Camp was so peaceful at night, and because of curfew not many kids broke that rule, it was only usually broken by teens who wanted to make out with each other. The lake was so calm, the small ripples the wind would make from time to time, and the way the stars were reflected over the top, made Luke feel really at peace.

Izzy carried a basket of rocks on her arm, she didn't know what dragged her out of bed that night, she just got the sudden urge to sit at the lake and who was she to ignore what her heart wanted? She tied her hair up into a messy pony and sneakily escaped from the cabins, it was moments like these when Isabell was grateful to be alone in her cabin.

Her heart skipped a beat on seeing another person sitting on the dock, till she recognised whose messy curls they belonged to. "Couldn't sleep again?" She walked over to him, and the sudden sound of a voice behind Luke made him jump.

"You scared me, angel," Luke laughed lightly on seeing the girl sitting beside him. "yeah, it's getting worse. I think I might have to ask for sleeping pills." The boy rubbed his dark eyes, Isabell frowned wanting to know what was wrong so she could help him herself.

The two's relationship was nothing but sweet, Isabell was always afraid to talk to him when she first arrived he looked like one of the bullies at her old school, that was till she realised how kind he was. She was struggling with archery (it definitely isn't her strong suit) and he noticed how frustrated she got, so he went over and helped her, which eventually turned into him helping her with sword fighting, then rock climbing and he had even taught her how to swim.

Isabell found comfort in going to Luke for everything, he would always be there for her, and his eyes being nice to get lost in was just a bonus.

"Hm," Isabell hummed, he'd helped her so much during her time in camp half-blood all she wanted to do was repay that favour, "do you think it's because your brain doesn't want you to have your night terrors, so it just refuses to sleep all together."

"Maybe, but I don't know how to get rid of those either. I'd rather never sleep again than get them every night." Luke frowned looking down at the water, he hated to talk about his nightmares, it made him seem weak, and he didn't want Izzy worrying about him.
