His arm reached behind him, pulling an arrow from the quiver that was strapped onto his back. Setting it up with the bow he pulled back,making the string on the bow taut .Lining it up he released,the arrow making a whooshing sound as it cut the air.The arrow not only missed the target completely but struck a branch on a tree 100 feet off the ground.
Luke wasn't very good at archery but he had certain things on his mind that was clouding his concentration, things that was making him even more terrible at archery then normal .Lowering the bow he sighed and reached for another arrow.
He had arrived at Camp Half Blood not expecting anything really,but what had happened did not only exceed his expectations but revived a hope that had died.As soon as his feet touched the ground of the camp he knew.Her presence was everywhere. In the air he breathed on the ground he walked.Luke never expected to see her again let alone attend the same camp she was at.He should have known Seth was here as well but his head was only focusing on the impossibility,not all the things that would come with it.Seth.Ahh if one could only describe what emotions his name alone stirred in Luke.How about,hatred?Jealously?Endless loathing?Envy?Rage?Antipathy? Lets go with all the above.
And why? One word that could be described in so many. Jatta.
But it wasn't the word or rather the name or even the person to whom the name belonged to that had caused the rivalry between Luke and Seth.It was more or less caused by their feelings for her ,not Jatta herself that had sparked these feelings that they held toward one another.So with a girl that held both parties hearts,throw in the fact that they were mortal enemies and that they simply do not like one another what do you get?
Luke and Seth,two people who fight for the same heart but also each other.
Luke lined up again, bow drawn and let go,the arrow again missing the target but went in the opposite direction the first one had and it hit the ground burying itself in the dirt. Maybe he should just leave,leave and save Jatta the headache he and Seth were sure to cause.Save him the heartache that Seth and Jatta caused him.It wasn't as if her heart still held the same affections after all this time and even if it did he would always come second to Seth.Just like he always had, even back at Catyn Academy he was never the one held first in Jatta's heart .Ahh the Academy he thought bitterly as he reached for yet another arrow,doomed for anything but what he was aiming for. |

Jatta walked up behind Luke. He had the bow and an arrow set up, and she smiled. She put her hands on his arms and she fixed the position he was holding the bow by guiding his arms to the right place and position. "Let go," she told him, and stepped back. Jatta, best Archer, Swordfighter, and any kind of weapon wielder, was doomed to be forever torn between Luke and Seth. But, there was nothing wrong with helping, right?

His eyes flickered towards her for a moment before returning to the arrow.Slowly he let out a breath and like she instructed him, he let go.The arrow head hit the target,burying deep into the center of the bulls-eye .Lowering the bow Luke turned toward Jatta.The wind picked up blowing her hair in front of her face.His hand reached out and he tucked a piece of it behind her ear."You've changed" Luke said quietly noting the change of hair colour ,among other things.

"You expected me not to be? Camp does weird things to you..." Her red eyes met his blue ones, and she smiled lightly.

"Not camp..just life."Luke smiled back at her,then looked around the campground before returning his gaze back to Jatta"But I'm sure this place does...enhance it."

She grinned, and lifted her hand to behind his neck. "If I've learned anything, being one of the people that have been here the longest isn't really something that helps you evade insanity."

Luke was surprised by her hand but that shock quickly melted into something else.He moved forward a bit toward Jatta."You've gone mad have you?"His grin widening."Well dont worry...some of the best people are."

She grinned, then replied "We're all mad here."

Jatta took a step closer to him, putting her other hand around his shoulders.
