A new enemy (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Fingalee (Fin) Luna

Why would he do that to himself? Why didn't anyone stop him? Lee was so happy when I was alive. He was so young though. To much has happened since then. I died in front of him. Killed by our father. He's been on so many quests, and in wars. He's so broken now. I should have been there for him.

"I'm sorry." I tell him.

"Why are you sorry?" He asks back still not looking at me. Solisse tries to calm him down and get him to look at me but he doesn't. She gives me an apologetic look.

"I should have sent you away that day. I shouldn't have brought you with me. I was going down because he threatened you. Lee, you're my little brother, you shouldn't have gone through that. You were to young."

"It prepared me for everything that happened after that. I've been through a lot of sh**." He says.

"It's ok." I hear Solisse say to him. I should be the one that he's closest to.

"Are you ok?" I ask.

"You wouldn't believe how many times someone has asked me that question. I'm never ok. Their's better times but they never last." He says.

"How's Olympus?" I try to get off the subject.

"Fine." Is all I get from him. Solisse gives me a look that says not to talk about it.

"Hades said you're going to a mortal high school. How's that?"

"It's ok." He says.

"Tell him something else." Solisse scolds him.

"I'm the quarterback on the football team." He says quietly.

"That's great. Any girls?" I try for a different subject.

"Fin, this is my girlfriend Solisse, Solisse this is my brother Fin." He says sarcastically.

"So you 2 are together?"

"For 2 years now." He says with a shrug.

"I thought you were still just really good friends but that's great." I'm happy he found someone. Then I noticed a ring on her finger. "Are you 2 engaged?!" I ask him totally surprised.

"No." He tells me. I open my mouth to ask questions but he cuts me off.

"I don't know."

"How did you even know I was going to ask anything? You weren't even looking up!"

"I could do it when I was little too." He shoots back. It's true, he had some sort of power.

"You probably got it from Erebus. He created everything dark and mysterious witch would include mind reading." Solisse says.

"Why would you get a power from Erebus?" I ask him.

"Because it wasn't enough to have only kronos and krios as parents they had to throw in the primordials." Lee tells me.

"Now I'm truly sorry. At least I don't have to deal with that. How have the gods not smited you?" That sounded less rude in my head.

"They did something worse. Honestly I'd rather be smited at this point."

"Don't say that. You have lots to live for." Solisse tells him.

"We are literally talking to the ghost of my dead brother right now! What happens when you all die!?" He asks Solisse. She can't seem to find the right words. "it could have been you. They could have used you to try and keep me in line. They could have killed you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if this was you." He tells her and all she can do is hug him. But when her head hits his chest he yells out in pain. She emidietly backs away.

"I'm so so so so soooooooo sorry." She pleads with him.

"It's ok." He says getting his breathing back to normal. He doesn't care that he's in pain when he sees her freaking out over hurting him.

"No it's not. Stop doing that! You're hurt and you won't let anyone else help. You won't even eat anything." She starts to cry and he just hugs her. It doesn't matter to him if it hurts. It hurts him more to see her cry. It's just such a sweet moment. She calms down and pulls away from the embrace. He's too mature for a 16 year old. This is the age where you're supposed to get into trouble. Do something fun and reckless. But he's the good one and comforting his girlfriend even though he's the one that's slowly starving. I don't want to interrupt but the other people down here should be waking up soon and I can't be here when that happens.

"Goodbye." Lee says still not looking at me but at least I know he cares enough to say something before I leave again.

"See you later." Solisse tells me. Then I go back to my place in Elysium.
