I was sitting on my bunk at CHB, thinking about Aphrodite's curse. It can't really last forever, I thought, there has to be some way to be able to love again. Piper was gone, and it was all my fault. I chased her away after following Annabeth's stupid plan! How did I even think that would work? Annabeth is hiding something, and she won't tell me anything after Piper knocked me out. She only said something about an oath.... Well who cares! I bet if Piper comes back, she'll love me again, and forget about this whole ordeal. Truth be told, I remember Annabeth giving me a drink two weeks ago. It made me feel sort of odd. Come to think of it, that was when Clarisse went on her quest as well! Shouldn't she be back by now? I mean, she slayed the Lydian drakon before, can't she do it again? A knock on my door startled me out of my jumbled thoughts. 'Oh Thunder Boy! I'm back!' Annabeth sang, opening it. 'Oh hey Annie.' I reply glumly. 'What's wrong? We have to get the rest of the campers to the campfire.' 'Oh nothing, just thinking about what happened yesterday. And why are we going to the campfire now? Dinners not in like 3 hours.' Annabeth gave me a grave look 'Clarisse. We're burning her shroud.' I looked at her 'What? B-but I thought you said she could defeat it again? Isn't that why Chiron sent her?' 'I-i just don't want to talk about it, okay? She was a really great friend, and the camp will be emptier without her.' she replies, walking off. I follow, my mind still on Piper. Oh where are you when I need you, Piper?
