When Memories Go Away

When Memories Win

Henry did it at night when no one was with him. He couldn't let his friends know what was going on, he had to do it with his family knowing.

"In the midst of the chaos, I will right a wrong. Bring back Percy Jackson for he is strong. My powers will go to where they should be, and I will rest in hell eternally,"

Henry chanted, watching slowly as water flowed around him, slowly surrounding the book.

"In the midst of the chaos, I will right a wrong. Bring back Percy Jackson for he is strong. My powers will go to where they should be, and I will rest in hell eternally,"

Flames slowly circled him as well, taking the opposite course from the water. But then he felt there pain.

It felt like the world was draining me of all he had. Henry let out a scream, hearing two others. Looking behind him, he saw a trail of electricity and pink along with electricity and souls.

"No, this wasn't supposed to be happening. Their parents are gone, theirs no point in them sacrificing their lives too," Henry whispered, hot tears streaming down his face.

The swirls went to to their chest and the three kids collapsed as one, all disemegrating into dust.

~meanwhile~

Percy woke up from his trance in a hurry, realizing what had happened. But kronos trusted him in this reality, he could get close.

He walked down the familiar hallways from his memories—more like fake memories—and found Leo's room.

Gods did he wish he hadn't.

Luke was kissing the hell out of his boyfriend, and that hurt him. But it made sense, Leo had never just gotten over Luke.

"L-Leo?" Percy stuttered out.

Both boys turned towards Percy, faces red. "Percy, how do, why do you care?"

"Because your my boyfriend! I've had no memories for what, a week?"

"I'm sorry. I-I-" Leo began to stutter.

"We don't have time, I need to end it. I'm the reason kronos rose all those years ago, it's my fault now too,"

"No-" Leo started but like stopped him.

"Percy, take me to kronos and say you hypnotized me, he wants a new body, I'll be the body. Then I'll kill my self,"

"No," Percy said, about to say more.

"Yes, there'a no do overs. Let's go,"

Perch gave a forced nod and grabbed Luke by the arm, both marching down to kronos. The scene played out exactly how they wanted, and they completed their mission.

But that didn't matter. He was gone. They were all gone.

The next month passed through as if in a dream. And all too soon they were back at camp, nothing how it should be.

But they win, right?
