Annabeth's POV
I sighed, sitting around at the big house.
I'm bored out my mind.
"I'm sooooo bored" Leo whined.
"Well we won't be bored if we haven't attacked Percy right now!" Luna snapped.
"Luke is on tour and deserves to be on tour, his last show is in New York, we can talk to him then" Kristy said.
"Don't you think it's-"
"You're not a child of Athena so shut up Luna" I snapped.
"Excuse me?!?!?" She yelled "I am the daughter of Nyx and I will not be-"
"You don't even like her as your mother and you never use your powers at all" Jake admitted.
I looked at Jake.
"Yeah, actually-"
"Enough Luna, we are sticking to our plan. There will be no attacks on us when the commander is on tour" Chiron said.
"You never-"
"I'm pretty sure he's in Australia" I said "Unless he could vapour travel without sleeping for 2 months, I don't think he'll be here any time soon. He's passionate about his job"
Luna growled but stayed quiet.
"Has anyone heard how he's going anyway?" Piper asked.
"Apparently his shows are getting sold out" Jason replied, "But that's all I know"
Everyone turned to Kristy.
"I haven't talked to him, I want him to concentrate" Kristy replied "He doesn't need more stress"
I looked down.
"However I have talked to Mayla, she said he's really happy, especially since they're in Australia and it's summer there so he can swim" Kristy said.
I chuckled.
"Only Percy would say that" I said "I mean Luke"

"Why are we talking about him like he's still our friend?" Luna asked.
"Because he is" Hazel replied.
"He's on the enemy's side!" Luna snapped.
"He's doing this for a reason" I said, standing up, walking towards her "And that reason is you"
Luna widen her eyes.
"You're the reason why my seaweed brain hates us and doesn't even want to acknowledge demigod's existence. I know for a fact this is breaking him and you're to blame" I said "So you better start talking"
"Like why you've had a change of heart" Piper said, standing up.
"Why you would want you former lover to die" Kristy said.
"Stop the band from coming back together" Jake said.
"Why you hate your own mother" Jason said.
"And treat us so badly?" Hazel said.
I looked right into Luna's Azure blue eyes.
"You're going to put us all endanger against the strongest demigod on earth and he doesn't even want to do it" I said.
"Then he should surrender" Luna said.
"His flaw isn't like that" I replied.
"But won't that mean he wouldn't want to hurt us?" Luna asked.
"Not us, he won't hurt us. But he has to hurt you and I want to know why" I snarled "So tell me now"
"I don't even know myself!" Luna replied.
I narrowed my eyes.
I widen my eyes as I notice Luna's eyes flicker to black.
I gasped.
I think I know why Percy wants to kill her.

Luke/Percy's POV

"So, how do you think of Melbourne?" Mayla asked as I looked at the view from the tennis centre.
"It's small compared to New York but it's comfortable" I replied.
Mayla looked like she was going to jumped out of her skin.
"What's up?" I asked "I haven't seen you this happy since you found out the date when you can dye your hair back ag-"
"61 days left" Mayla said "But no, not that"
I nodded.
"You know how I said my family is in Australia? Well, they're seeing us today!" Mayla said.
"Is it that time already?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Do...you want to meet them?" She asked.
"I don't want your parents thinking I'm your boyfriend-"
"I got that covered, it's fine" she said "Please?"
Her puppy dog eyes got me.
I groaned.
"Fine, when are we meeting them?" I asked.
"Now!" Mayla said and pulled me away from my stage.

~~~~~~

"Mum!" Mayla yelled and hugged her parents.
One was a small lady with brown hair and silver streaks and fair skin.
The other is a tall male with dark hair and glasses on.
I froze when I recognised them.
That's why Mayla is so familiar.
I notice the parents turn to me.
All no,
Bright smile Luke, you have this.
"This is my boss, Luke Jackson" Mayla said.
I smiled and shook their hands.
"Technically she's the one who keeps me in check" I replied.
I noticed the women's eyes widen slightly, with confusion.
"Well you need a women in your life to keep you in check" Mayla said.
"Ha ha, very funny" I teased.
"Mum, you won't believe that he helped me with my music and acting career!" Mayla said excitingly.
"Really?" The man asked.
"I was the one who pushed you, but you walked through the doors" I replied.
"He put one of my songs on his album and everyone went crazy! And now, he got me a role in a tv show" Mayla said.
She looked at me.
"I can never thank you enou-"
"Why do you look so familiar young man?" The male asked.
I chuckled nervously.
"I have been on tv sir, you might have seen me-"
"Don't worry about him, he always sees things and forgets them" the female said, nudging the male "Do you want some cookies?"
"Oh my gods mum yes!" Mayla said "I've missed your cookies so much"
I chuckled as the female took out cookies in a plastic bag.
I noticed they were blue.
"May I question why are they blue?" I asked as Mayla offered one to me.
"It's a thing my older brother had for blue food and challenged our old step-dad as he said there was no such think as blue food, he used to dye it all the time" Mayla explained "They're not poisoned"
I nodded and took a bite.
The familiar rush of home came to me.
"Wow, they are amazing, thank you" I said, smiling.

Suddenly Mayla's mum gasped, covering her mouth as she looked at me.
"Did I do anything wrong?" I asked "I'm sorry I-"
"Mum, are you o-"
Mayla's mum walked up to me and grabbed my right arm.
She pulled up my sleeve to reveal my Poseidon symbol and my SQUAR symbol.
Tears filled her eyes before she slapped me across the face.
"MUM" Mayla yelled as I muttered "Ow"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE! I WAS SO WORRIED FOR YOU!" She yelled "5 YEARS! 5 YEARS YOU HAVEN'T CONTACTED US AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"
"You must have mistaken me for someon-"
"I know my son from anywhere" she said as she hugged me, making Mayla gasp.
Mayla looked at me with complete shock.
I am so dead.
