Pearl A.P.D.A.A.A.H.R. Jackson

Time Period/ Age: After the Bang / Almost 14

Location: Camp Half-Blood

We all ran as fast as our feet could carry us to the entrance of the camp. 

I pushed through to the front, as did my brother, and when I got there I saw a familiar armor. 

"Hey Smokey! Remember me," I asked the jerk. He was gonna-CRAP!

"Course I do, Pearl," he turned and revealed his face. 

I felt my mouth drop and my eyes almost fall out of their sockets. 

"The hell do you want," Percy asked. 

Me, I was in shock.

"No," I said after a moment. "No."

"Pearl," Poseidon whispered. 

I looked behind me and saw the gods were there, holding questions in their eyes. But all I could think of was the boy in armor. 

"It can't be-," I stopped my self and turned back to him. "Lukas."

I felt the tears in my eyes begin to form and some of the gods who knew the names and what it meant to me gasp. 

"Hey, beautiful," he smirked. 

"You don't call me that," I replied taking a step forward. "Not after-."

"You were never in any danger," Lukas began taking off his helmet. His blond hair glistened in the sun and his eyes were locked on mine. "You were over a portal, where I was calmly going to explain everything to you."

"Pearl," Percy silently called me, and grabbed my arm. 

"You betrayed me, Lukas." I completely ignored Percy. "I trusted you. I wasted my time on your stupid and meaningless attempts so that you could get revenge on MY BROTHER!"

"I DIDN'T DO IT FOR THAT," he yelled. "You are mine, Rhea!"

"It's Pearl to you, now!"

"NO!"

"Yes," I whispered. 

"I came for-." 

"Get it quickly. I don't want you around me," I told him, turning away from him and began to walk to the lake. People moved away and made a path for me. 

"I came for you," he called. I stopped and moved me head to the side. "I came to get my girl and bring her to her rightful place."

"And where's that according to you," Mom spat at him. 

"I knew you a month. That's all it took for both of us to fall for you," Lukas told me. 

"Both of us," I asked. 

"Kronos and Luke," Hermes told me. I looked at the Messenger and saw the resemblance to him and Luke. Wasn't hard to put two and two together.

"Pearl,"Lukas or Luke or Kronos or whoever the hell he was called to me. "Say you'll come to me. Come with me and help me win this fight."

I looked at him then. And I mean really looked at him. I re-noticed the slight bump on his nose, the way his eyes shines, the pink in his lips and the way his golden hair fell on his forehead. This was the face of the boy who stole my heart in a blink of an eye, even if he was never mine officially at least. 

I began to walk to him. 

"Pearl," Percy warned. I stopped right on the border and looked at my brother. I begged him with my eyes to trust me.

I turned back to the boy who had stolen my heart so long ago in such a short amount of time. 

"Why," I asked.

It took him a moment before he answered me.

"Look at what happened between you and your dad. Look at how many people don't have both of their parents. And here they are. Don't you know how much power we could have? How much you can do. And not only that, I could give you the world and anything else you desire."

"I leaned forward a bit then stood up straight.

"My one desire is for this to be over," I told him. "Right here, right now."

"All the gods needs to do is surrender," Lukas said. 

"Not going to happen," Zeus replied. 

Lukas glared at him and then he turned his eyes back to me. 

"I'll smite him for not giving you what you want," Lukas said with a smile. He held his hand out for me. "All you have to do is take my hand, and everything you want, everything we want, it's our the minute I win this."

I looked at his hand and remembered how good it felt when we would walk around after I had class or on a date or just hanging out. But the thing was, he was never really mine. We never put a label on each other. I had wanted it then, now I wasn't so sure. 

For a second I considered fighting for my brother and going against Lukas. He wasn't my first love but he was the easiest one to be with.

But fighting with Lukas meant that I was fighting for something that happened to me not to ever happen to anyone else. And if I fought against Lukas it would be like fighting against myself, but i would be the same with Percy, only I wasn't in love with my brother. 

So I slapped his hand away. His eyes filled with shock.

"If you thought that I would ever go against my brother, you're wrong." I told him, a tear escaped me. "What we had, as short as it was, it was real and always be apart of me but you are nothing now.  You are my brother's enemy, therefore you are mine."

"You made a mistake."

"Maybe, but I'd rather die fighting with my brother then live and have been on the side that murdered him," I told him. 

He shook his head and began to walk away. And if that was all it took for him to let me go that's as long as it took for me to get over this. He stopped and turned to face me one last time. 

"I love you Rhea. It's because of that, that I have the will to let you live now," he called to me. 

"Then shove that will up your ass," I yelled to him, the sassy me coming out. "And my name is Pearl."

"To me it's Rhea, to Luke it's Pearl." 

"Well you better change it," I said beginning to walk away. 

"I will no-," he began but I was done with him. So I turned and snapped at him.

"My name is Pearl, as in the true jewel of the sea, as I am the daughter of Sally Jackson and the great Poseidon, god of the sea."

"Please, Rhea" he scoffed.

"I am Pearl as in the true jewel of the sea, as I am the daughter of Sally Jackson and the great god of the sea.Poseidon."

"Shut up."

  "I am Pearl as in the true jewel of the sea, for I am the daughter of Sally Jackson and the great god of the sea. Poseidon." 

"SHUT UP, THAT'S NOT YOU-." 

"MY NAME IS PEARL, AS IN THE TRUE JEWEL OF THE SEA, FOR I AM THE DAUGHTER OF SALLY JACKSON AND OF THE GREAT GOD OF THE SEA."

I CAN EXPLAIN!!!!

This chapter was hard to conjure up. 

I wanted Pearl to be a funny and kind of care free character and this scene is INCREDIBLY hard for her. 

I know I lag but I want to finish this story seeing as I am still so in love with the bond I created and making you guys crack up. 

NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE BETTER! 

If not, the following chapter will be all, you guys want if you actually comment or message. 

Until next time.
