So this was on my other story 'Stories form Camp Half Blood and Beyond.' But I have deleted that so I decided to just post this for the hell of it.
It didn't turn out as I hoped
May be a little bad and might not make sense if so sorry
I in no way Own PJatO or HoO
Abandoned
That's how she felt.
As if she was worth nothing.
She stayed in the cabin with the others
Who, like her were unclaimed.
And abandoned
She prayed for her father every night
Prayed to him to claim her
She stayed up every night trying to excel enough for him to notice her.
But he never did
She watched as people left the Hermes cabin as their parents slowly began to claim them
Most not even at the camp for a week
And a small few who had been there since they were children, now on the cusp of adulthood
Her friend, like her had been abandoned
They would spend hours talking about who they thought their parent might be
Then her friend became sour, and the talks of their parents turned hostile
Half of her wanted to tell her to shut up, but instead she went along with her.
All she wanted was her father to notice her
Then he came
His sea green eyes mesmerising
She remembered giving him her spot on the floor
She watched as Luke taught him how to sword fight
She watched in fascination as he fought with such elegance and fury, even for a new camper
And she knew he would be claimed soon
Then he left with the satyr and another girl
She waved him off wishing him luck
And hoping the quest would be successful
That's when she noticed the change in Luke, their cabin leader
His teaching methods became more hostile
And his words became more intoxicating
She watched as her friend hung onto any word Luke said
She watched as she followed him everywhere
Then the boy came back
His eyes hardening slightly
Then it all happened
Luke's words were like a silver knife
Beautiful, yet sharp and deadly
She watched as others started to flock to him
The numbers were both small yet large as members from each cabin went to him
There was no larger number than the unclaimed
She watched as people she related to flocked to him
And she followed
She listened to his stories about death and tragedy
His stories about the gods
Her mind was made up then
All deciding to meet at Thalia's Pine were they said their prayers to the fallen warrior
She was their goddess
That's when her life changed
She was ushered into trains, cars and boats
All to gain more members for their army
She watched as a few children of Apollo healed the injured demigods
They had been attacked by monsters, before they knew who they were
She watched as children of the minor gods fight alongside children of the major
Then she saw her kind
The abandoned
The forgotten
Their once sad faces now exuberant and excited
And she forgot all her troubles
She heard Luke talk about the Titans
And how they would be treated like royalty after the war
They all rejoiced
Not really knowing that was never the plan
Then the monsters came and they boarded the ship
She remembered seeing children wandering the ship in trance like motions
She wanted to cry and jump off the boat and swim to her mother
They got off the boat and she watched it sail away
She helped her friend and another boy as they gathered more people
She taught them basic sword moves and they watched with intrigue
The boy helped her, his dark brown eyes shining at her
They had grown closer and she watched him closely
He did the same
She saw him for who he was
She looked past his eye patch and saw him for the boy he really was
She remembered the night before the war
The way he held her, and she never wanted it to end
Sadly fate didn't like her
And the moment ended too quickly
She listened to her commands
Then she saw him
He looked the same except for his golden eyes
They shone with a fierce light that made her want to run
He moved her group towards the Lincoln Tunnel
At first she felt reassured and proud
Then she learnt who she would be up against
And her stomach dropped
She looked up at the girl they had called their 'reason' their 'patron'
And she felt pain
She knew why they were told to fight here
She knew they were cannon fodder
It was a doomed battle
A doomed war
But still she kept a strong face
Running into battle, her sword in her hand
She watched as her friends, her allies
Get mowed down as their arrows flew in the air striking them down
She watched as monsters she fought with turn into dust
And in a way she was pleased
Then it happened
It was quick and painless at first
Then the pain came
It was agony
She felt as if her chest was burning
Yet the rest of her felt cold
Then she looked up
She was confused at first
Then angry
Then she was happy, proud and loved
It was above her head
It was simple
A single winged sandal
It floated there for a second before it disappeared
And for the first time she felt like she was worth something
Like she had a family, a father
And as she sucked in her last breath
She felt hope
And loved
Really she was never abandoned
She was in the right place the whole time
Surrounded by family and friends
She felt she was worth something
And really that's all they ever wanted
That's why they fought
Why they died
That's why he made them promise
Made them claim them
Made them look after them
He remembered them all
He remembered the girl who gave him, her spot on the floor
He remembered the girl who wished him luck
He remembered a fallen warrior
