You Are My Sunshine

You Are My Sunshine- Johnny Cash                            

                                I'm sorry

Raphael's POV

I opened my eyes. There was some sort of bag covering my head. I could hear faint whispers, somewhere out of the room. Very familiar voices as well. "Shh. She's awake." A male voice spoke. I began to struggle in the ropes that tied my hands and wrists together behind me.

    Well my wrists were. Not my ankles. Those were in front of me. "Tell us what you know!" A female shouted. It sounded like Annabeth a bit. "Wow very specific there. Mind telling me what exactly I'm being tied up for? Cause it's hot in here and I'm not enjoying this very much."

    I could practically smell the sarcasm rolling off my voice at this point.

  "What. Do. You. Know. About. Luke. And. The. Resistance." The woman said slower. "You could've just left it off at that. Cause why would I tell you that? You're going to need to try a little harder to get the tea out of me sis." I felt a sharp pain against my neck and someone holding my head toward the blade.

     "Ha! You actually think I'm scared of death? Go ahead kill me!?" I smelled the air and immediately realized who was threatening to cut my head off. "Percy Jackson. How nice of us to talk." I laughed under my breath. "Oh can it. What. Do. You. Know?" I rolled my eyes. "I know nothing you assholes. Let. Me. Go....You're lucky I'm not strong enough to use my powers or ya'll would be screwed." There was dead silence. "Why can't you?" The woman I recognized as Annabeth asked. "I have fucking cancer you assholes. Now it would be appreciated if y'all could take the sack off my head so I could breathe!"
      I heard a grunt and the sack was thrown off my head. I glared daggers at the pair.

    I felt like we were in one of those FBI interrogation rooms. There was a light above us and it was slightly swinging. Or was it me? "What do you know Raphael? We're doing this the easy way. If you don't start to talk we'll end up just keeping you here and torturing you." I shrugged. "Okay. Nothing I haven't endured before." I smiled at Annabeth who was gawking at me. "Fine then take it your way." The sack was placed over my head and I was picked up off the chair and thrown on the floor. "Now now Raph. Hold still." I felt a needle get shoved into my forearm and I whimpered, pain erupted in waves all over my body. Either of them stomped on my arm with a loud deafening crack. I could feel it way beyond broken. It hung loosely on my side. Then I heard them leave.

    Since they were both still tied behind me and my ankles were tied. I was stuck in a ball whimpering on the floor. I heart a loud pop emanating from my arm and screamed out. I heard a loud metal door open and close. A kick to the ribs jolted me. I kept my mouth shut as kick after kick, punch after punch was thrown my way. I felt my nose shatter upon in-pack and I couldn't breathe through it. Instantly realising it was broken.
       I was picked up and placed back in the chair. All attempts of violence stopped. But I felt a pain in my right wrist. Someone was cutting into it. I didn't even whimper. Being strangely used to the feeling. The knife was retracted as the big heavy metal door was swung open and a loud grunt echoed throughout."Shit!! Raphael don't move." I heard a familiar voice speak. It wasn't Luke though. I felt a sharp pain against my throat. Suddenly the pain was gone and the sack was ripped off my head.
      I squinted into the bright lights. I was untied and placed on the floor. My vision was dazed and choppy. I couldn't make out anything except the bright light above me and the irony- bloody taste in my mouth. My entire body was shaking in pain and blood loss. "Raphael stay with me okay?!" I couldn't move my body. But two hands were placed on my left shoulder. One at the back and one at the front.

                                    "Three."

                                    "Two."

            
                                    "One."  

    I let out a loud scream as my shoulder was popped back into place. "Raphael can you see who I am?" I tried to focus on the man in front of me, but I couldn't focus my eyes well enough. I knew he was blonde. But that left a lot of options. "It's me Will. It'll all be okay. Just listen to my voice okay?" I couldn't manage to speak so I just nodded. He picked me up and I let out a large scream. My arm was definitely more than broken. "Is it your arm Raph?" I nodded. He took out his phone.
"I need you now.....Quick please." As I listened to Will's side of the conversation, my mind lingered to Luke. How long have I been here? Where was he? Why did Percy and Annabeth take me? Why does my life fucking suck so much!!??

I was broken out of my thoughts bye a loud pop. "Holy fuck Raphael!! What happened?!" Nico ran over and gently rubbed my cheek. "Per-Per." I gave up trying to speak and just let the tears fall down my face. Hot tears fell gather on Will's shirt as he held me, careful not to move my arm. He rubbed my back gently.
      "Hold on Raph." I gripped Will's forearm as Nico transported us back to the wherever. "LUKE!"
      I fell to my knees. My arm throbbing in pain. Like sort of like when you get your period cramps, but elevated twenty times worse. Everything seemed to blur around me. As I felt a liquid run down my forehead and my ribs ached. Will turned me on my back. I was fighting for conscious now, it was becoming harder and harder. "Holy Shit!! Raph!" Luke skidded down time me. I felt like my life was draining out of me. "Luke. Sing for me." I whispered to him. Tears fell down his face.

    My head aches, my body. My arm, everything. My whole life has led up to this. I can tell this is the end of the path for me; everything is going away. I don't wanna die. I wanna stay in his arms forever. I wanna be with Luke forever.

"The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

So I bowed my head and cried

You are my Sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy, when skies are gray

You'll never know, dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

I've always loved you and made you happy

And nothing else could come between"

One of Luke's tears fell on my cheek, I smiled faintly as I felt the last ray of light leave my body. I closed my eyes, a hum of his singing in my ears.

Third Person POV

"No Love. Please Raphael. No no no no." Luke Castellan shook her solid pale face gently. The last ray of light left her eyes. Her small smile faded into a grim expression. The last hint that she was crying was the tears going down her face. Luke screamed for his now dead fiancé. He held her dainty thin body in his arms. The brunette in the back also crying, hysterically into his partners' shoulder. They're little sister- basically- just died.
The son of Hades didn't show his emotions much, but when he did things didn't go well.

   A sob escaped Nico's lips, black vine-like wisps green up the walls. Luke fell on his back holding his hands to his eyes. He cried his heart out. The world seemed to stop around the pair of men. The Apollo child comforted his sobbing fiancé in his arms. His little sister just died in front of him and he was sobbing his heart out, regretting everything he's done wrong to her. Luke clung onto her lifeless body.

Luke Castellan's whole world just collapsed in his arms. The only light, gone. He had no reason to live anymore. His only Love was gone. How could this happen to him twice.

  
               He looked up at the ceiling.

   Living was all a big game. One twisted checkerboard. And Luke Castellan. Was finally laying down his king,
