Forgive, But Not Forget

Chapter 23

Again, I edited this stuff, adding this, changing that, but nothing major.

There was a blind girl. She pitied herself. But she has a boyfriend that loves her. One day she said. "If only I could see, I would marry you."

Some days later someone donated eyes to her. The surgery was a success. The boyfriend visited her and asked. "Now that you can see, will you marry me?" But the boy was blind. The girl did'nt knew this and did'nt expect it, so she turned him down. Sadly, the boy went away.

Days later the girl recieved an email from him, saying,

"Take good care of those eyes. Because before they were yours, they were mine."

Gods. I almost cried when I read that in our C.V.E. test. We were supposed to write reflections from what we had read...

Now I'm thinking of turning it into a one-shot.

A Percabeth one-shot.

What do you guys think?

Hestia's cabin is a symbol of hope to many demigods. When problems pile up, when their hope is almost lost in their hearts, when life becomes too difficult, when nightmares from the past plague their rest, or when they just needed advice on friends and family, they come to Hestia's cabin for a place of peace. Where they can take a calming break from the outside world.

They can stay as long as they wish. They can even spend the night there. And if your problems is really bad, Hestia herself can appear. The campers were wary at first about hugging the goddess. But after seeing Percy do it, they began to do it too. Hestia often appears as a teenager, like the campers, so it feels like you're talking to your bestfriend.

Among the many cabins in camp, her's is the most visited by the campers(aside from their own cabins). Sometimes for comfort, sometimes to give offerings, or sometimes just to enjoy the peaceful silence. One of the most frequent visitors is Percy Jackson. Often they would just sit near the hearth, watching the flames, making light talk or just bask in silence. The aura of the cabin and the goddess herself calms the demigod so much that he can stay there for hours, before his ADHD starts to act up.

The cabin has two beds of warm quilt at each side along two walls. At the center is a circular hearth, giving the room a warm glow. In one corner is a clay pithos, next to a table covered in orange sheet that reaches the floor. This is where demigods can leave their offerings. The cabin is a simple wooden one, with a small porch at the front and the words 'The Last Olympian' in gold writing above the door.

The door to the cabin opened. A demigoddess hesitantly looked inside. Her eyes swept over the cabin until it rested on a small figure sitting near the hearth. Her eyes widened and she rushed to apologize. "I'm sorry! I thought everyone is at dinner! I did'nt even know why I came here! I'm really sorry for bothering you, I'll just-" she had started to close the door when a soft voice spoke.

"I'm not bothered at all." The girl smiled. "Come in, child."

The half-blood think its weird that someone who looks the same age as her  is calling her 'child'. But one look at the mysterious girl's flickering yellow and orange eyes, she knew that she is in the presence of a goddess.

The goddess is wearing a simple brown dress that spread around her as she sat on the floor. In her hand is a wooden staff that she is using to poke the coals. Mousy hair reached her shoulders.

The demigoddess did'nt know what to think. She kind of expected the gods to be...extravagant. But the one in fron of her is simple, but is still beautiful in a natural way.
