CHAPTER 1 REDO

A/N: Hey I'm doing a new story. I won't be very consistent on updating. I will try, though. This chapter took me a week to write. I really hope you like it

Chapter 1

The girl on the corner

Luke POV (sorry about OOC but that will be Luke most of the story)

Riding the bus to the Empire State building for the winter solstice is exactly how I want to spend my time. Having a bus full of ADHD kids is oh so much fun. It was loud and sure I was joining in with some of the banter but in all honesty, I had a big decision to think about. Kronos wanted me to steal something from the gods. He gave me a specific timeline to follow and if I didn't he would find someone else to do my job and get rid of me. I was having second thoughts and hoped that the bus crashed or something to stop what was going to happen. At first, I was all for it. Taking down the gods and making a better world but as time went on I no longer hated the gods as much as I thought I did. Sure they weren't the best parents out there and they tended to use us but they don't deserve to be wiped from existence.

Nothing happened on the trip there to delay the inevitable of what I was about to do. Sure I didn't want to but if I had the opportunity and didn't take it then I wasn't sure what would happen to me.

A light rain came down when the bus arrived at the empire state building. Everyone briskly walked inside when they left the warmth of the bus. When I exited the bus I glanced around and that's when I saw her. I stopped abruptly causing Grover to run into me. He said something to me but I didn't really hear him. When he realized I wasn't listening to he followed my gaze now both of our eyes were trained on the girl on the corner only twenty feet away. She had her hair wet hanging over her face. Her eyes were trained on the ground. The only thing I could see was lips set into a deep frown. She shook as if she were cold and I could see why. She had skinny jeans that were completely soaked through accompanied with a black sweatshirt that she was drowning in, must have been a man's. That was when she looked up towards us out of instinct as she could probably feel us staring at her. Was I glad she looked over here because she had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. They were a dark green at the moment holding a ton of emotions. I also couldn't miss the tears streaking down her face.

Grover gasped his eyes went wide and he briskly walked over to her. I followed figured I would learn why he was acting so weird and to stall time to the inevitable.

"Percy" He squeaked "why are you crying?"

The girl Percy sniffled and took thirty seconds to get her emotions under control. Wiping her eyes with the sweatshirt she had on, she looked back at Grover not really collaging me.

"Nothing," she told him barely above a whisper.

It was obvious there was something wrong. Grover could see it too as he sat down next to her. She put her head on his shoulder making him wrap his arms around her to get in a more comfortable. She buried her head in his chest and that's when she really started crying. Sobs racked her body and she clutched onto Grover like he was her lifeline. She was muttering incoherent words I could make out a few 'he' and 'angry'. I wasn't sure what she was talking about but I felt like I was interrupting a private moment. After a few minutes of awkwardly standing there, Grover looked up to me and mouthed 'Go'. With that, I just turned around and walked away from Grover and the sobbing girl.

When I entered the building Chiron was waiting at the base of the elevator. He asked me where I was and where Grover is now. I quickly answered him saying that Grover was with some girl Percy. He accepted that answer and motioned me to follow him to the elevator. Before entering it, I looked at the nearest clock and sighed in relief. I had missed the deadline to go through with what Kronos wanted me to do.

5 MONTHS LATER AT NIGHT

It was May almost time for the summer campers to come back. I was excited about the summer but I kind of liked the peace. Kronos never did reach out to me to demand why I hadn't gone through with the plan. That night I went to sleep wishing I hadn't though.

Dream

A girl I recognized from the day at the Empire State Building was standing at the edge of a pit. I was watching her from the wall. A woman's voice spoke 'watch her dream' but like I had much of a choice. She stood there almost falling in listing to a cold laughter that I recognized as Kronos laugh when we both fell through the floor. She was in a museum and a old lady standing in front of her dressed head to toe in leather.

The lady spoke with a growl "Did you think you would get away with it."

"Umm I guess ma'am" she responded

"We would have caught you either way" The Lady snarled "Confess and you will suffer less pain"

That's when the old lady turned into a Fury.

The girl screamed as the Fury flew at her. She jumped out of the way last minute, looking at the door

"Mr. Brunner where are you!" The girl screamed. You could tell she was expecting whoever that was to come. That's when the fury lunged straight at her and there was no way she could escape.

"NO!" I screamed as I woke up just as the Fury was about to collide with her. Part of my cabin was over me with concern etched on their face.

"What?" I snapped

Connor was the first to speak up "Are you OK? I've never seen you respond so badly to a dream." He asked

"Yeah, I'm good just a dream right" I answered.

A/N: how's that. I am doing Percy's POV for the majority of the story Luke just started it off.
