Déjà Vu {A Luke Castellan Story} [Three]

•Four•

I scrolled through all the audio and found one that was a recorded audio message. Out of curiosity, I clicked it and began to listen. "If you really want to know where it started," I was greeted with my own voice and an all too familiar giggle. "It was when I tripped over a tiny box." I relaxed back on my bed and listened to my own rambling going on about what seemed like everything. I spoke about meeting with my three closest friends in the world. Annabeth, Grover, and Thalia I had reunited with after I met Percy and Artemis for the first time. I smiled to myself, now I slept in her cabin and lived with her for practically my whole life. The way I talked about Percy, was he my old boyfriend? I shrugged it off and continued to listen to the story. I was shocked when Luke was brought up, how he was practically my childhood hero. I looked to him and he was out cold once again. How could that, possibly be turned evil and possessed by a Titan? He always slept and seemed too sweet to do that. 'Well yeah, but you've only actually known him for a couple days.' I shake my head in disagreement, I've actually known him for years. 'In this life idiot.'

I roll my eyes and listen as the audio goes on. I had just found out who my godly parent was and how I met Chiron. It was weird hearing my own voice talk about memories I couldn't even remember. The part currently playing was when I sent an 'Iris Message' to Luke, seeing him hold a picture of us as children and getting emotional. It warned my heart, just knowing that he still cared. Apparently that Annabeth girl had betrayed me also, by kissing Percy. I might have over reacted by running away, considering the current situation that point in time. How I had found Luke, how he watched over me, how we kissed... Wait I kissed him? I glanced to where he was sleeping, I actually kissed that blonde I was currently sharing a cabin with over my boyfriend? My eyes widened a bit, what kind of a relationship was that? 'Clearly not a good one you idiot.' I sighed, that was true. But the way I spoke about Percy gave me hope that we might have something better. 'Or maybe you were just being naive.' I roll my eyes, even if I was naive then I was happy. You couldn't deny that. I seemed to be satisfied with most of what happened.

I went on explaining the first time Luke had died, "Now comes more recent events." Recent events? Maybe this is where the war would come in, the one Chiron had told us about. "Nico Di'Angelo, my newest best friend. He kinda filled the spot of Thalia because she was a huntress now." The names seemed so familiar, a face started to form in my head. I just couldn't tell if it was the correct face. "Nico is really cool, he's like a brother to me. Always protecting me and saying if Percy ever hurts me, blah blah blah, tell big brother Nico and he'll, blah blah blah. Yeah, you get it." Both the recording of me and I start to laugh. I couldn't get over the fact that he would say something so cliche. I sensed that someone was watching me, I sat up and looked at the front window seeing a figure move so quickly. I walk to the door and slightly open it took a look to where the shadow went. I see a guy leaning against the cabin on the right. My eyes widen a bit, "Nico?" He looks up and seems as confused as I was, "(Y/N)?" He walks over to me and hugs me, "I thought I sensed you leaving Elysium."

I just hugged him tighter, someone who was close to me. Someone who I can remember is right in front of me. I couldn't help it if I started to cry, and when I felt warm spots on my shoulders I knew he couldn't either. I start to laugh, "never thought you were the emotional type." I could practically see him rolling his eyes behind my back, "Well there's a lot that seemed to change." I pulled away from our hug and look at him, "a lot of change? What do you mean?" He points to my hair and shifts down to my eyes, "All completely different, the complete opposite." I pull out a stand of hair, "still the same to me." He shakes his head, "Mist? Aphrodite?" I think about it, then my memory suddenly came back. I snap quickly, "Aphrodite! That's it. Artemis must've asked her to do this." He nods and just smiles at me, "gods I can't believe you're actually back. I've missed you so much. And so has Logan." I look down at the mention of Logan's name and start mumbling, "he doesn't know."
