Sun and Moon| Luke Castellan Story

Chapter 20

When I fell asleep at night I started having a nightmare I saw this shadow and it seemed like a monster, but then it didn't it seemed like man. He was coming towards me and I was in a forest, not the one at camp but a different one, he spoke to me in a low raspy voice which reminded me of US a scary movie I watched, his voice mainly reminded me of the mom's voice and how raspy and hurt his voice sounded.

"You aren't ready for what is going to happen, half-blood." He said in his raspy voice, when he told me I wasn't ready for what was going to happen I got a shiver up my spine like I was afraid. I started getting anxious, and nervous. "You can't trust everyone, they'll lead you to your doom half-blood!" I started to get more nervous as he sounder more aggressive. "You will lead one of your brothers to their doom, and there is nothing you can do to stop it!"

"What?! What do you mean? I ask as he mentioned that my brother could get hurt. "He was right about you, you are strong. Maybe even stronger than he thinks, and maybe even more stronger than you think."  

"What are you talking about? And who told you about me!? And what do you mean, I'll lead one of my brothers to their doom?" I started to panic as I was afraid, for the first time in a while I was scared, I was scared for my brothers was I going to lose them?!? I don't know what this person, or shadow meant. As I tried to ask him questions he just faded into the darkness.

I then started to hear some shouting my name. "Koa! Koa! Koa!" After hearing that a few times I finally woke up, heard a big crash like some things fell on the floor. All of the Hermes cabin was staring at me. I looked outside to see the sun was just barely coming up so I looked at all of them confused as to why they woke me up so early. 

"What?" I say as I look at all of them, and my eyes land directly at Luke who is standing by my bed. "Koa..." he said softly. "You were having a nightmare and all those things were floating."

"That's not possible." I told him but him and Chris exchanged looks then looked towards me, Moi, and Kai. "Your guys mom can't be apart of the 12 main cabins, because none else can do that but children of this specific minor god." Luke explained and that just sent shivers down my spine. 

"So you know who our godly parent is?" He nodded yes then started to talk again. "But I can't tell you, you've shown signs of being her child, all of you have but I'm not certain." 

"It's fine Luke." Moi told him and gave him a reassuring look basically saying he doesn't have to, or need to tell us. 

After I got ready for the day, I just decided to sit by the docks not doing anything but thinking about my mother, and who could she be or what are these signs of me being her kid. I know I may be asking for a lot, but for gods sake she's never been in me or my brothers lives, and she just left my dad who was only 18 years old with 3 kids. He told me and my brothers that she had left him right when he was about to go to college and play football, but that all ended when she left 3 baby infants for him to look after. 

Knowing my father he couldn't just leave us, knowing that we were his kids so he gave up his dreams to look after us, just for his sister in-law to send us away in a couple years. While I was think I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder, it was Luke. He sat down right beside me, he then started to talk. 

"I probably shouldn't have told you all of that in just one morning." 

"It's fine." I answered. "That problem the most information, about my mother I'll get so... thanks." I said while i turned to look at him, I saw his dark brown eyes and I saw that his eyes were sparkling in the sun, which made them look more beautiful than they really are. 

"Is it weird, that I don't even know her but I already feel this sort of hatred towards her." I asked as I continued to look at him. 

"No, and trust me I know how it feels to have a hatred towards your parent." He explained as I saw his eyes sparkle in the sun, they turned more of a brighter brown but still a bit dark. "I've met my dad, and he sucks. He came to visit me once and let's just say it wasn't the best experience I hated every second of it, and I just wanted him to leave. So I'd say it's wouldn't be wrong to hate your mom, and personally I'd rather not know who my dad is." 

I knew Luke didn't really like his dad but I didn't know that his dad had visited him before. In this moment, I actually knew why he has a hatred towards his dad, and why he never liked talking about him. I tried to thing of something to say that would make things seem a little less, dull or more happy and not us trauma dumping our lives to each other even though I know his life has been MUCH more harder than mine. 

I couldn't think of anything but I felt someone spray water on me. I look to see Luke with a smirk on his face, and this motherfucker just splashed me with water while I was trying to think of something to make him feel better and not awkward. 

"Did you just splash me?!" I might've exploded on him a little bit, but I just didn't expect that to happen. 

"Yes, yes I did." He sounded like he was challenging me, so I just pushed him into the the water. I started to laugh as I saw how shocked he was that I pushed him in. I didn't realize it at first but my legs were dangling over the docks and he pulled me in my legs and I was now with him in the water. 

"You suck, flyboy!"I tell him and he laughs, and grabs me by my hips and pulls me closer. 

"You're one to talk tree-girl, you're in here with me." He says as he splashes my face. 

"Hey!" I exclaimed, as he pulled me closer. "Do that again and I'm gonna Ta'aai you." I say as a threat 

"What does that mean?" He asks "This!" I say as I hit the back of his head then swim away. "Hey! You can't just do that!" 

He swims after me and I actually start laughing and having fun, and so does he or at least it seems like it. By the time we get out it was already dark out, and we just sat in the docks, as we did I felt like staring at me but I didn't say or do anything about it, after a couple minutes of us talking we started to head back to the cabin.
