When Memories Fade

When Memories Hurt Pride

Annabeth walked through the camp, bouncing around like normal. Of course, no one was talking to her.

It was something Percy had planned for their anniversary, a special surprise party. Annabeth knew when was gonna meet Percy at five, but thought she could hang out with people before.

Percy had told them not to tell her anything or else they'd die, and the campers all took it as 'we can't talk to her'.

Leo seemed to realize he had the perfect opportunity, and walked over to the blond. "Hey,"

Annabeth seemed surprised someone was talking to her, "oh, hey Leo,"

"You okay? I know the whole fact of everyone hating you because your with Percy is hard, but how are you holding up? It can't be easy,"

"What do you mean?"

Leo's eyes grew wide, "you didn't know? I'm so sorry, but everyone thinks Percy did it, and this, hates anyone with him,"

"Everyone loves him though,"

"Than why haven't they talked to you? Why haven't you seen percy?"

Annabeth took that into consideration. She looked around the camp that wouldn't look back at her, and felt something break.

Her fatal flaw broke.

Her pride broke.

And so did her loyalty to Percy.
