"i'm not coming back." Luke has loved you for a long time.

when he first came to camp, with Annabeth and Thalia being his only family, you were there to show him that there was more to life than having to constantly fight for your own survival. you had made the camp an actual home for the demigod, and Luke was beyond grateful for that.

but not everything was meant to last, and where you previously stood as lovers, you were now enemies... faced with the consequences of his actions.

it was unfair, he thought, how you stood between him and his goal to tear down olympus. it made him wish you were a stranger, but that was too late now.

"and i will get through you, so stand aside!" he gripped his sword tighter, he was too far gone now for you to save him anyway. he just wished he didn't have to hurt you any further...
