Lee Fletcher's POV. Changed the song, sorry. Please, review!


I will follow you into the dark

I panted heavily as I clutched at my bloodied arm. My younger brothers, Will and Michael, supporting me together, supporting me as they hurried me forward toward our cabin. I could feel water falling slightly on my arm. Will was crying, now, heavily. Michael was glowering ahead of us, screaming at Kayla and Addy for more gauze as we shuffled on.

Love of mine some day you will die

But I'll be close behind

I'll follow you into the dark

I barely noticed as Will and Michael laid me down on a sheet in front of our cabin. It quickly stained red, my breathing was slowing. Michael began to bark orders at Will, I couldn't hear them anymore. Blurred faces surrounded me, I saw the faces of my younger siblings...and I saw my little sister Marley...oh, Gods, Michael, Will, anyone, don't let her see me like this.

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white

Just our hands clasped so tight

Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide

That they both are satisfied

Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

Other of my siblings crowded me, Will was gripping my bloodied sleeve as Michael tried to tear him away and was pointing to someone else. I followed my little brother's shocked gaze as he followed Michael's shaking finger. No, I thought, Oh Gods, no!

If there's no one beside you

When your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark

Lying no more than two feet away from me, was my girlfriend, my June. Her chest was heaving as her breathing became as shallow as mine. I looked over to her, her eyes widened as she saw me.

Lee! She mouthed, frantically twisting her unbroken wrist toward me. I tried to react, I tried to reach over to her and hold her and just let her know, I'm here with her. Her beautiful grey eyes met mine, and a silver tear made a stain down her dirtied and bloodied skin.

You and me have seen everything to see

From Bangkok to Calgary

And the soles of your shoes are all worn down

The time for sleep is now

It's nothing to cry about

'cause we'll hold each other soon

In the blackest of rooms

I felt my eyes heat up, Father, I prayed not taking my eyes off June for a second, If you can hear me, please, please please, hear me. Will was now kneeling beside June, pressing gauze into her side. If you love me, Dad, help June, for me. I love her so much. I've been with her through so much. We'd met when a satyr picked me up, we were both so young- only nine each. We'd been best friends ever since, but I'd only been able to get the guts to kiss her this year...we had no time, as a 'we' or an 'us'. We should be able to grow old together...I need to love her more. I need to tell her that I love her, I need to say it. For real.

If Heaven and Hell decide

That they both are satisfied

Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

June's eyes began to fade out, and Will's prayers got more rapid to Apollo. I felt my eyes growing more heavy, and any remaining pain faded away.

Well, thats not a good sign. I noted. June's eyes were closed now, and I felt a jolt travel through me, Oh, Gods no! Daddy, please! No! No! I felt my hand being moved, I managed to open my eye slightly to see little Marley, moving my hand into the palm of June's. It was still warm. I blinked gratefully at my little sister. Thanks, sweetie. I heard faint screams around me, I could make out my name being yelled. I ignored it as the painful blurs were replaced by nothingness. Like a quiet dream. I looked around. I was underground, now. I looked ahead and saw a dark river, with a ferry man sitting eerily quietly inside it. I could make out his face.

"Charon?" I rasped, he didn't turn to me, and just nodded curtly.

"So I'm dead..." I murmured. "I'm dead." I repeated, horrified. I wondered what would become of my siblings at camp, Michael was the oldest, and still only sixteen. Three years my junior, he was so young to take on so much responsibility of being cabin leader. I looked around. I saw a small group arguing with Hermes, I pitied him, it must be overwhelming to deal with so much death all at once. Such young death. I recognized their faces, Castor Gem, Sammy Wynn, Kara Dalle, Ian Dunn, some of the faces were too puffy with terrified tears to be recognized. I weaved through the crowd, looking for any of my siblings who might've passed like I. Thank the Gods, it was just me.

My breath latched as I saw a tiny young girl sitting cross legged by the River Styx, staring into it with wonder. Her auburn hair was neat and pretty and tied back in a long braid. She sat up straight as my steps approached her, she turned around and my eyes met hers.

"June?" I whispered, her eyes sprung tears and she leapt up, clumsily falling into my arms immediately after. I smiled, chuckling slightly, as she flung her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly to her. We clung to each other like that, as if nothing would ever separate us. Nothing ever will.

If there's no one beside you

When your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark

"I love you, Lee." She murmured against my neck.

"I love you, too."

Then I'll follow you into the dark...
