"I can't," she gasped, eyes wide and her pupils dilated, "I can't do this. I-It's exhausting pretending like I'm fine when I can't eat, I can't sleep. . . I can barely function. I'm a burden to you guys, and we're too far to turn back but I'm only just going to slow you down." Her knees buckled under the weight of her own body, the girl heaving a groan as she collapsed to the damp concrete, barely mustering the energy to brush concerned hands away. "We're not leaving you, Andy. You're more of an asset than you think." Andromeda huffed as she ran a hand down her sweat-sheened face, setting down the crutch she still had a hold of while she peered up at the blonde. "Is that why, when we were in Ohio, you told Percy maybe I shouldn't have taken the quest?" ♚ Andy is twelve, when a month before the summer solstice, her life begins to crumble around her when the greek myths become real and dangerous. The gods exist and so do the monsters creeping in the dark yet somehow. . . the real enemies aren't the scariest looking ones. With war on the precipice and the fate of the West in the hands of a pair of children, what could possibly go wrong? ♚ Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson & The Olympians.
