----------------------------------------------3RD PERSON-------------------------------------------
Luke woke up to a snoring Percy snuggled in his arms.
Luke smirked. "And I thought you hated me." He chuckled. Percy sloppily pushed Luke away from him. "I do hate you." He muttered. Luke rolled his eyes. "If you say so." He said. Percy sighed and got out of the sleeping bag. "We need another sleeping bag. I do not plan to sleep in the same sleeping bag as you another night." He said.
Percy stepped out of the camp. He turned towards Yaria . "Morning." He said. Yaria nickered. "How you doing boo?" She asked. Percy laughed. "As good as I can be." He said. Yaria made a sound similar to a laugh. "Well if you ever get horny a hot blonde is right next to you." She said. Percy choked on air. "As if. Gods Yaria.
Luke looked in between Percy and the horse. "Come on. Don't leave me out." He said.
Percy rolled his eyes. "Yeah whatever." He said. Luke grabbed Percy's arms. "Whats up with you?" He asked. Percy looked away. "Nothing." He replied. Luke let go of his arms and sighed. "Is this gonna end with you screaming at me?" He asked.
Percy just sighed. "Are you ever gonna talk these dam handcuffs off!" He exclaimed.
Luke eyed Percy as he took of the handcuffs. Luke expected Percy to try to run or something. But Percy just trudged to the tent with a huff.
Luke sighed as he followed. "Would screaming at me make you feel better?" He asked. Percy shook his head. "Nah." He said. Luke frowned. Percy didn't seem mad. He just seemed downright depressed. "Percy are you good?" He asked.
Percy didn't answer.
Luke was about to say something else when his head began pounding. The pain formed into words. "Luke we don't have much time. Kronos is suspicious of us. You need to come and get us as soon as you can. The resistance is stalling for as long as we can but Kronos has sent his new host to spy on members of the resistance. I will not be able to contact you again. Your friend, Alabaster."
Luke stumbled back. "Percy pack up." He said.
Percy looked up at him. "Why? Are you good?" He asked. Luke shook his head. "I am. They aren't." He said. Percy began packing up. "Who are they?" He asked. Luke sat on the sleeping bag. "The resistance." He said.
Percy followed Luke outside once he finished packing up. "Like a resistance against Kronos?" He asked.
Luke got on Yaria. "Yep. Some of us joined and saw that the titans were no better than the gods. Others pretended to join to take down Kronos and his allies. Others simply want the gods and titans taken down so demigods can rule." He said.
Percy joined Luke on the horse. "So which are you?" He asked.
Yaria descended into the air. "I thought the titans would treat us better than the gods. But there was no difference. I was dumb enough to believe that Kronos would even allow us to live once he got to the top. But I saw all the destruction I helped him cause. I saw all the hurt he caused to the people I love. Like Annabeth and Thalia. All the pain I caused to YOU." He said.
Percy looked at the boy next to him. He felt so much love for him yet so much hate at the same time.
"I suppose that's very noble of you." He said. Luke shrugged. "I wish I hadn't been so stupid. He said. If anyone asked what was going through his head in that moment Percy would've shrugged and blamed it on Stolkholm Syndrome. But Percy leaned up and passionately kissed Luke.
