When Memories Fade

When Memories Hurt Another Friendship

Leo followed the sound of quiet sobs to behind the Aphrodite cabin. He had already gotten rid of two of the seven, counting himself, only four more to go.

"Hey," he said quietly, sitting down next to her, "what's wrong?"

"It's just, Jason and I...we, we'll, I guess you already know,"

"Yeah. I'm sorry you were friends with Percy, none of this would've happened if you weren't,"

Piper just looked confused, "what?"

"Well, had Percy just minded his own business, Jason would've cheered you up and none of this would've happened,"

"You know, your right. I'm gonna go talk to that betraying stuck up annoying demigod,"

Leo smirked as piper walked over towards Percy, Annabeth, and Frank.

Piper drew her dagger and pointed towards Percy, "Jackson,"

With a confused look and a bit of boredom, Percy drew riptide and nocked pipers dagger out of her hand, "yes?"

"Don't act so coy. I know what your master plan is,"

"Actually, Annabeth cut in, "Percy has never had a plan in his life. Much less a master plan,"

"Exactly," Percy said proudly, "hey!"

Annabeth shrugged as piper rolled her eyes, "save it. I know you just wanted to kick Jason out of the seven to get more glory for yourself, you dirty little backstabbing betrayer,"

"You do realize my fatal flaW is loyalty, right? I would never betray any of you guys,"

Piper looked offended, "so now your saying you never cared about us and that's why it's not betraying? You know what, throw your sword away, it will make it easier to bring you,"

In the smalls second he had,  Percy capped the pen before throwing it, glad when he felt it back in his pocket.

Piper grabbed her knife and started battling him, annoyed when riptide returned to his hands.

After she was thoughroly disarmed, Percy stopped her. "Piper, what are you doing?"

"Destroying you. Just give me both weapons, fall to the ground and don't. Get. Up,"

Percy did as he was told against his will but still talked. "Piper, just breathe. Breathe. In and out,"

Piper realizes what had happened, "oh my gods, it was Leo,"

This time, frank stepped up, "Leo? Sure, blame the same guy Jason did. I would leave before everyone hates you more,"
