Percy Jackson Short Stories

Memories

I don't own Percy Jackson.
I saw someone do something like this on Tik Tok so, I will post the link at the end of the story.

Piper's POV

     I just got the Eidolons to leave the ship and agree to never come back. I turn to Jason to make sure he's okay.

     "I'm okay, " he promises. "Just a little dizzy."

     "Okay, " I say. "If you're sure."

     "Yeah, I'm sure. You might want to check on Leo though."

     I turn to look at Leo who has his face in a plate of food, "Leo, get up."

     He sits up and looks around, "what happened?"

     "You were possessed by Eidolons. I got them off of the ship and they won't be coming back. Now, clean off your face." I hand him a napkin.

     "Thanks, " he says.

     Before I can answer I hear a chair fall. I turn to see what happened but, all I see is blonde hair disappearing around the corner and a confused looking Percy.

     "What did you say?" Jason asks.

     "I don't know, " Percy says. "All I said was, man, being possessed by evil..." He trailed off. "I'm an idiot." He stands up and hurries out of the room.

     "What was that about?" I ask.

     "I don't know, " Jason says.

     "I know how we can find out, " Leo says. "Let's go spy on them."

     "Yeah!" I say. "Let's go."

     "I don't know, " Hazel says nervously. "I don't think we should."

     "Come on, " Jason says. "It will be fun."

     "I'm not going, " Hazel says firmly.

     "I'm not going either, " Frank says.

     "Okay, " I say. "We'll go." The three of us walk to Annabeth's room. We stop before we turn the corner. Percy is knocking on Annabeth's door.

     "Can I come in?" He asks. "I just want to make sure you're going to be okay."

     The door opens just a little. Percy pushes it open the rest of the way, walks in, and closes it behind him.

     We move to be in front of Annabeth's door. We put our ears up against the door to listen.

Percy's POV

     Annabeth is already back on her bed when I come in. I walk over and sit by her.

      "I'm really sorry, " I say. "I shouldn't have said that."

     "It's not your fault, " she says. "I'm just glad you are okay."

     "I'm okay but, I want to know if you are okay."

     "I will be, " she says. "I guess watching you being possessed just reminded me of Luke and the war."

      "I know and I'm really sorry. I should have been more careful about what I was saying."

     "It's okay, " she tries to assure me. "I'm not mad at you and it's not your fault. If it's anyone's fault it's mine."

     "How would any of this be your fault?" I ask. "You didn't do anything. When you meet Luke, Grover, and Thalia you were seven. You were just a little girl."

     "Exactly, I was little. I was slow. I didn't know how to fight very well, " she says getting angrier with every word. "If I wasn't there Luke, Grover and Thalia would have made it up the hill. Thalia would have lived. Luke wouldn't have turned on the Gods. There won't have been a war. All of our friends would still be alive. We won't be fighting another war! We won't be stuck on this stupid ship! It's all my fault!"

     I grab her hands, "Annabeth Chase, look at me." I don't speak again until she is looking at me. "It's not your fault and blaming yourself isn't going to change what happened. Trust me, I already tried that. We can't change the past."

     She nods but, doesn't say anything. I pull her into a hug. We sit together for a few more minutes not talking and then we end up spending a few hours sitting and telling funny stories about our friends back at camp.

Here's the Tiktok that gave me the idea for this story' https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeH7jKSP/
