19 - A Promise To Be Kept

  ;you;

  I walked out of my cabin in faded blue jeans and an orange shirt with writing on it and a pegasus. I loved wearing the Camp Half-Blood merch. It was always so comfortable and it seemed as if it was made for fighting. I had no clue. I just knew they were special.

  I walked into the arena, only to lock eyes with Aphrodite's nicest boy.

  "Good morning, Princess. How ya feelin today?" he asked in a tiny southern accent. I'm suprised I haven't noticed it till today.

  "Pretty good, I'm ready to fight."

  He smiled at me and grabbed a sword from along the wall. There were back-ups for kids that didn't wanna choose one. For kids that never went on quests.

  I pulled out Vineyard and held it with one hand.

  "You ready?" I asked.

  Jordan had a glint in his eyes. Like a goldish color that I had only seen from.. from Luke. When Kronos took over his body on the boat for the 30 seconds that felt like an hour.

  I caught my breath and backed up.

  Jordan cocked his head and the golden tint brushed off his irises.

  I let go of my breath, it slightly shaking.

  "I'm sorry, I-I thought I saw something. I guess not."

  Jordan walked over to me and hugged me. "What was it."

  I shook my head. "I don't know."

  "Then describe it," he said, hard and forcefully.

  I shook my head again, placing my hands on his chest to push him away.

  He wouldn't budge. Why did guys always do this!

  "Get off of me!" I yelled.

  He backed away as I pushed him as hard as I could, vines wrapping around his body.

  He grunted as they pulled him to the floor.

  I grabbed my sword and ran towards the door. I looked back at him. I held up my hand and pushed it down. The vines unraveled and got swallowed by the ground.

  "Y/n! Wait!" Jordan scrambled on the ground, trying the grab the sword and stand up.

  I looked the other way and ran into the woods. My lonely place.

--

  It was now nighttime. I sat on a tree branch, watching the grass swish back and forth, the wind ruffling it like a dad would ruffle his son's hair.

  I started to close my eyes, feeling the wind brush by me, kissing my nose with cold air till it was red.

  Warm arms wrapped around my waist from behind. I was too tired to move and scream. So, I took a wild guess.

  "Jordan, go away."

  "Who's Jordan?" I deep voice asked with jealously scratching at it.

  I opened my eyes wide.

  "L-Luke. How did you-"

  "--get into camp without being seen?" he finished my sentence perfectly. "Well, you guys don't have that good of protection. The Ares kids were all asleep so I walked right in, sneaking through the trees the way you did when they encountered the bulls. I've been watching you for a little. I never gave up."

  "I told you, I don't want to be involved with your evil plans."

  "Y/n. I will change for you. You just have to ask the most simplest question and I will stop for you. I will spend my whole life with you if you ask me. Ask me anything and I'll follow your orders. I just don't want to live without you."

  He rested his head on my shoulder and kissed my cheek. I blushed. This is the closed I've gotten to kissing him. I was craving to kiss him like a pregnant woman craves all these crazy food combination. He was my crazy food combination as a person.

  "Luke.. please, leave Kronos. He's not good for you. Please stay here at Camp Half-Blood."

  "I will.. I promise. A week Y/n and I'll come back. I won't fail yo---"

  "Swear on the River Styx. Swear on the River Styx that you'll be back in a week and stay with me till this war ends."

  "I swear on the River Styx."

  I layed my head back and it landed on his chest. He had been here the whole time and I hadn't felt him behind me.

  I looked at Luke's face. His eyes sparkled in the night and his biggest imperfection on his cheek glowed in the moonlight. That's what I loved about him. The scar that told me he wasn't normal. He was like me. Not normal. He was perfect to me though. I couldn't understand why..
