Split Life Of War DISCONTINUED

32 Luke

Chapter 32 (twice the amount of Split Life of Magic)

There, standing right at the helm next to Blackbeard, was Luke. Four people stood in black hoodies covering their hair, and silver masks covering the top half of their faces. I could see a curtain of blond hair down to the waist of the girl with a bow and a sheath of arrows on her back. One of the boys also had the same weapon, while the girl with curly black hair around her mask held a long golden sword, as did the taller boy. I hid my bracelet in one of my pockets, and Caleb stood on my right with Zach on his right. Reyna stood on my left with Hylla on her left.

Luke stepped forward. "Catherine, you and any of your friends, are being taken from this ship where you will reside in the cells of my ship until you decide to join me. Do not try to resist. Choose who will come with you." I turned to my friends, and we circled up.

Caleb was the first to say anything. "Cat, I am coming with you no matter what, I hope you know that. And Zach already agreed that he would come with us." Zach nodded, and I bit my lip.

"Reyna," I turned to face her. "Please don't come. You and your sister can escape the pirates, but Luke is another story. Whereas the pirates have only six, Luke has over a hundred different monsters, and he also has been recruiting many demigods. Here you at least have a chance to be free. Please take it."

"Alright," she nodded. "But once we are free, I will do anything I can to free you. And if you are free, I will find you." We hugged one last time, and I walked to Luke with Caleb and Zach by my side. Luke smiled, and the shorter girl with black hair took my arms behind my back. The taller boy took Caleb, and the other boy took Zach. The other girl walked in the back of us, while Luke led the procession over a plank and onto his cruise ship. I caught one last glimpse of Reyna.

We both made eye contact, and spoke in unison. "I swear upon the River Styx that I will find you again." And tears began to come down both our faces. Because I will, if I don't die first. (That would have been a good ending to the chapter). Finally we reached our cells, and Luke put me on the end nearest to the door. Caleb was on my left, and Zach on his left. There was a panel of switches next to each cell, but we could see and talk to each other. A twin sized bed sat in the corner of the cell, with a small side table and chair. My bed had electric blue sheets, and Caleb's had pitch black. Zach got shimmering gold sheets. Zach and Caleb were just chatting for a while, and I was laying on my bed, gazing at the grey ceiling. Once the clock by the door struck ten, Caleb and Zach climbed in their beds, and we all started to fall asleep.

The next morning I woke up to a blaring horn. The clock read seven in the morning, and a figure stood above me. It held an air horn in its hand, and wore a sea-green hoodie and the trademark silver mask. I immediately flew up, and produced a dagger from my bracelet and held it against the boy's neck. We slammed against the wall opposite of Caleb's cell, but neither of the boys in the other cells stirred. The boy I was against started to laugh.

I glared at him, and pressed the dagger closer. "What are you laughing at?"

"It's just," another bout of laughter passed over him. "You don't recognize me after all those nights we spent in the Demigod Dorms at Hogwarts, just talking and getting to know each other?" I stepped back and used my other hand to remove the mask on his face just enough to see who he was, before gently putting it back on. I put away my dagger before jumping up into Jacob's arms and giving him a tight hug.

"Oh Jacob," My voice was muffled due to being pressed into his hoodie. "I've missed you so much. There was so much that you missed."

"Yeah," he laughed. "Well I have missed your entire life up until Christmas, I don't think that half a month is much."

"There's a lot that can happen in two weeks. Why didn't the air horn wake up Caleb and Zach?"

"One of the switches makes the cell sound proof. But" Jacob set me down on the bed, and then he sat next to me. "I have to tell you a secret. You can use you phone. Here, there are already a lot of monsters, and at Camp, if you are able to fix the border, it will keep the monsters from getting to you. Use that to contact me." I nodded. "We all have code names, the girl with the long blond hair yesterday is Beauty, the taller boy is Sunny, the other boy is Brainy, and the other girl is Death. Now I have to go to help Beauty with something, stay safe, and the first good opportunity you have to escape with those two, take it, because there will not be very many of them." I nodded once again, and Jacob left the cell and walked down the hallway out of my sight.

For the next few hours, I experiment with my powers, trying to break out. Around noon, the same four people from yesterday took us out of our cells wordlessly. Just as we got to the Lido deck, a giant arrow with a toilet plunger landed on the wall right next to me. A lot of centaurs jumped over the railing and attacked Luke's army. In the chaos, our four guards had let go of us to fight the opposition. Zach, Caleb, and I took the opportunity to escape, just as the first centaurs began to leave. All three of us swung onto the same one, and once it had gotten far enough away that I was certain that we were safe, I jumped off, pulled Caleb and Zach with me. We landed in some alleyway in who-knows-where. There were shadows everywhere, which sparked an idea.

"Caleb, grab each of our hands, and concentrate on Camp Half-Blood, then step into a shadow."

He gave me a confused look. "Why?"

I shrugged. "I want to see if you can transport us like you did after the monster attack on Clarisse's ship." He gulped, and took each of our hands before stepping forwards into the shadows, and our world was filled with black.

Remember that Caleb has not been claimed yet! I have like the opposite of writers block on this story this week, and Im thinking of working on one of my old Harry Potter fanfics that I removed from Wattpad, but still have on my computer...
