"do you think we'll be in love forever?"

I still remember that day, sitting underneath the big pine tree, looking up at the stars, his arm wrapped around me.

The question settled in the air, filling my lungs with a million feelings I don't think i could name even now.

"Mm... I'd like to think so." I said, closing my eyes and sinking deeper into his chest. I shivered with the autumn breeze and he held me closer.

He hummed, leaning his head against mine, he kissed my hair, "Me too."

Then fall turned to winter and the weather started to get...worse. Storms and thunder and not even the camp barriers could keep it out.

Despite long days locked inside, things stayed almost normal. Tensions were high and the older campers had heard rumors of something stolen, but I still had Luke.

Things only started to change when Percy Jackson showed up.

Bloody, carrying Grover, he showed up to camp. And Luke knew he was different. The child that just killed the Minotaur- of course Luke was right.

The day Percy Jackson was claimed, I didn't see luke for hours. he'd vanished until the middle of the night when i was woken by Luke Castellan knocked on my window.

My fate was sealed when i followed him to Thalia's pine that night.

The air was cool despite it being the middle of summer, and the wind made me regret not bringing a hoodie.

He sat down on the base of the tree, "Everything is going to be different now."

I slide down beside him, placing my head on his neck just like we always did, "Nothing can change this. I'll be with you, always."

I was so stupid.

Luke Castellan cried in my arms that night. He said he was so sorry. I held his hands to stop him from scratching at the scar that covered his eye.

"You promise forever?" His voice shook so bad.

"I promise."

-------------------------

"What the fuck are you doing-?!" I pushed Percy behind me. luke held his sword out, stopping me from getting any closer.

There was a flash of something that i could almost recognize as fear on Luke's face as i stood in front of the son of Poseidon. My own sword was raised in defense, we both know i couldn't win against him.

"Percy, go get Chiron." My voice shook slightly, but i held it together as I felt Percy leave my side. Leaving me alone with him.

"Y/n, listen-"

"Listen to what-?" I spit, daring to step closer, "Raising Kronos- are you serious? What is wrong with you-"

"It's for us! It's for all of us!" He took a step back, "What good have the gods ever done for us? I'm not trying to hurt you- this will be better for us. For all of us!"

"Stop talking like that!" I just need him to stay here for another moment, just for Percy to get Chiron. Just so someone else can talk him into staying. "Use your head, please, this will only hurt people."

"A few sacrifices will be worth it!" The anger in his voice almost made me flinch, "come with me."

"...what?"

"Come with me. You wont have to fight me, I'll keep you safe and when we win you'll be right beside me! Forever. We promised forever."

I looked at him for a long moment. I shook my head, "Luke..."

His face hardened.

The next thing i remember was a sudden pain on my left eye.

------

I woke up a day later, half blind.

I couldn't decide what was worse: losing him, or seeing his scar everytime i looked in the mirror.
