Sorry I Tried to Kill You... Again [for Percy]

[lightningthief]

Apparently I have amnesia. The circumstances are so bizzare, I'll continue wondering if this is all some demented trick, but to my amazement, this whole other-world amnesia story makes the most sense out of any other explanation, so it's probably right. After being away for a while, it's time to return to the hut. The hut that I apparently share with my arch-enemy, a.k.a. roommate, Percy Jackson. When I get there, I knock at the door.

"Percy? It's Luke. I'm better now. I won't go after you, honest. That is, if you trust me at all..."

I'm braced in case the kid goes at me, but I'm guessing he won't. I adjust the ice pack on my head slightly as I wait for him to open the door.

I rub the center of my forehead gently with my fingertips. I'm glad Percy and I can be friends, but the part about things being important, or any connection meaning our friendship is important to Percy, flies over my aching head.

"Alright. I'm glad things are okay for now. I think I'm getting a bad headache." I glance over to Percy who I have to believe is my friend now and not my enemy. "So, I guess what I ought to do is go into that room, hang up my sword, and rest." That is going to screw with my head. I'm going to lie down, maybe fall asleep, with my sword right there where anyone who sneaks in could grab it and sink it right into me.

"I know it's a lot to take in," I said, "But you are among friends here. And hopefully this bout of amnesia will go away soon."

"I hope it goes soon too." Because I would like to feel like I am among friends. All of this really is too much for me to handle. I could really use a friend to help me through this, but I just can't reach out to any of these people. Maybe Thalia, but... I think Mount Tam permanently changed things between us.

So, I'll do what I always do. Rely on myself. I think I just want to be alone. I slowly get up and start making my way to where I woke up.

I wish Annabeth was here.
