The New Camper (a Percy Jackson fanfiction)

Talk of the Gods

"Nice to see you again." Luke looked at Annabeth. "You look good." He gestured to the room "won't you come in." he smiled evilly.

I grabbed Percy and Annabeth's arms. "Sorry, but we respectfully decline. RUN FOR IT!!!" I yelled as Annabeth, Tyson, Percy and I sprinted down the hallway, just to be blocked my more guards.

"Please, I'd be a bad host if I let you go now." The guards pushed us into the room at the end of the hallway and shut the door, leaving Luke and his guards with us.

The room was white with a couch in one corner and a table littered with food. It was all very welcoming, except for the gold sarcophagus in the corner

Luke sat down on the couch and put his feet on the coffee table.

(Was he raised in a barn?!) I thought.

"Please, sit down." Said Luke gesturing to the couch he was sitting on and the chairs.

None of us sat.

Luke looked at Percy. "So Percy, I let you live another year, how's school, how's your mom?" He asked.

"Cut the crap Luke!" I said, narrowing my eyes. "What have you done with Ethan!"

He got up. "Pamela, right to the point I see. I'd expect nothing less from a daughter of Ares-."

"Shut up!" I said walking toward him and unsheathing my dagger. "Where-is-Ethan!" I rose my dagger as the guards, two demigods grabbed my wrists and held me back.

Luke lifted my chin and forced me to look him in the eyes. "He's fine.....for now."

His guards let go of me and pushed me back. I was caught by Percy.

Annabeth stared at him. "You poisoned Thalia's tree."

"Right to the point also eh?" He said. "So what if I poisoned the tree?" He slumped back down on the couch and took out his sword, inspecting the blade. Half was steel, the other half, celestial bronze.

"How could you?!" Annabeth was so angry she sounded as if she would explode. "Thalia saved our lives YOUR LIFE!" She yelled. "How could you dishonor her like this!"

"I didn't dishonor her!" Luke snapped, tossing his sword aside. "The gods dishonored her! If she were still alive she'd be on my side!"

"Liar!" Annabeth screamed.

"And you think I'm dishonoring her when you're traveling with company like this?!" Luke continued and pointed to Tyson.

"Hey!" I protested.

"A cyclops? Really im suprised at you Annabeth, you of all people?" He sneered.

"Stop it!" I shouted. Annabeth buried her headin her hands like she was about to cry.

"Leave her alone!" Yelled Percy. "And leave Tyson out of this!"

Luke pointed to Tyson. "How many insults from the gods can you stand Percy? You think he's grateful to you? You think he cares about you any more than he does, this monster?"

"Tyson is my brother and Poseidon is my father!" Said Percy.

"Your father said a bunch of wrongs don't make a right!" I said.

He shot up from the couch instantly and his face turned the color of pepperoni. "Don't-even-mention-him!"

"The gods are our parents, they care about us." I told him.

"Dont talk to me about caring!" He snapped at me, then turned to Percy. "How much have they even told you Percy, like the prophecy on your sixteenth birthday?" Luke asked. "They're using you!"

(Wait, prophecy, what are they talking about?)

Percy's face turned pale for a second. "I know what I need to know. Luke who my enemies are."

Luke scowled. "If you honestly believe that then you're a fool."

Tyson smashed one of the chairs to bits. "Percy is not a fool!"

"You all are if you think you'll survive my legion! You see that coffin!" He pointed to the sarcophagus. "We are forming The Lord of Time back together little by little." Luke told us. "Every time someone joins us, a little piece appears."

"That's disgusting!" Said Annabeth.

"Your mother was born form Zeus's split skull, I wouldn't talk." Said Luke.

"Join us and we will reward you greatly, our sponsors are rich enough to buy this ship and more!"

"You're insane!" Said Annabeth.

"Fine....Rodriquez, Smith the Aethiopian drakkon needs feeding, take our guests over and show them how it's done." Said Luke. His guards grabbed me, Annabeth, Percy and Tyson and forced us out.

"Wait!" Said Luke. He pointed to me. "Not her, leave her in here." He said.

After the rest of us were out of the room, Luke stood over me and sneered. I shuddered, feeling the instant chill that swept around the room.

"You asked where your boyfriend was, I'll take you over. I think my soldiers are almost done with him."
