Luke Castellan x Reader (Fanfiction)

II

This chapter I'm gonna speak in first person. It's kinda hard doing it in the second so bear with me. ;)

~~TIMESKIP TO EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL~~

I was walking down the beachline. Just before the sun was starting to rise. Another day, and not an idea of me going to sleep. I have been strolling around here in my long dark, gray blouse, dark chocolate-colored straps on my arms that reaches to wrists, with brown leggings and faded-brown knee-high combat boots. My hair was in side French braid, it was already coming loose but also holding on. (Pfft. Tell me how that makes sense. Ha ha) My celestial bronze battle ax is on my shoulder and a soft breeze picked up my hair. 

The war between Kronos is finally over, it's been 5 days, but I still can't get enough sleep, thinking of those damn dreams. I hate having them It's like I'm psychic but also stupid. I'm probably the only one thinking that, but that's because I still have my mind living inside the mist like normal people do. I can't help but think why every dream of a demigod has to be important, I mean it's bad enough to be living dangerously, how much more when you're only way of resting, that is sleeping, is also work? 

As these thoughts kept rambling in my head, I crouched down and touched the water. My father's domain, feels like it's just normal. But I can actually control it, so it's pretty cool I guess.

Crunch!

I quickly turned and threw my ax to the sudden sound. 

"Whoa! That's an ax! That's an ax!" 
I placed a hand on my hip and stared at the dazed demigod who had my ax 3 inches away from his face.  The ax landed on a tree behind him so it was a close call. 
"Luke." I stated. "What are you doing?"
"Well, Y/n." Luke gulped visibly. "I was trying to get myself killed just by walking on a pine cone." 
I let out a chuckle and he took my ax from the tree. 
"What are you doing up so early?" He asked. 
"Thinking." I said as I walked back to camp. 
Luke followed with the same pace. "Have you always been up this early?" 
"Actually, yeah. But this time I didn't sleep, kind of like the past 3 days." 
He looked at me in amusement. 
"You're kidding? Why would you do that? That's like self-torture. Need I remind you, that we have monsters out that barrier for that."
I punched him in the arm. It was meant to be playfully, but he rubbed his arm. I guess it was harder than I thought.

"I just hate getting these damn dreams." I admitted.
"I feel ya, but it's a life of a demigod, you can never expect life to be simple." 
I scoffed, "Tell me about it." 

We just kept on talking until we reached my cabin, unconsciously. 
"Why are we here?" I asked.
"You tell me, I was just following you." Luke said.

We both busted out laughing. I admit, I have already hung out with this guy for more than a few times in less than 5 days. The great betrayer of the Gods actually is becoming my friend. I don't mind, I was one of the reasons why we are alive right now. At least that's what Luke told me. I convinced him to stay on our side, and turn against Kronos. I'm surprised he took my advice. 

"I guess I'll see you later?" He offered. 
"You betcha, Castellan." I said then went inside Cabin 3.

When I got in, I was immediately facing a crossed arm, worried brother.
"Hello, Y/n." 
I lowered my ax and smiled a bit. 
"Morning, Percy. Sleep well?" I said going to my nightstand and placing my ax beside it.
"Sleep well? That's all you can say? I can't believe you. You were out the whole night again weren't you?" 
I shrugged, "Obviously. Couldn't sleep."
Percy sighed as I sat on my bed staring at him.
"Y/n. I have been waking up for 3 days to a sister missing, where she should be sleeping. You're being too hard on yourself just because you're still processing everything in."
"I have processed it. My mind just won't cooperate with me." 
He rubbed his hair, "You could be dead just because of the lack of sleep, know that?"
"I'm a girl, not stupid." I replied bluntly.
"Y/n. I'm serious, I'm worried about you, this is the time where everything can go back to normal and you're troubling yourself. Even Chiron can't stop your habit, new campers can just move on from this you know? But you're being too fucking hard-headed."
