Just Enough
Ever since he destroyed her home she couldn't forget him. She lost her safe haven and lost touch with her sister. She vowed that if she saw him again, she would kill him. She swore it, yet there he was, sitting in front of her. It was just them and her metallic dogs in the room. She was waiting for him to lie so she wouldn't have too kill him herself, but there he was, telling the truth.
He closed his eyes to think. This was her chance. She could kill him now. She grabbed a dagger and pointed it at him. There he was before her. He was weak and vulnerable. She raised the dagger. She was ready, she would do it now. 3...2...1.… She couldn't do it. She had been waiting for this for four years. He was sitting before her, and she couldn't do it. What would Circe say?
She put down the dagger and put on a fake smile. She wouldn't show weakness. She wouldn't show fear. He opened his eyes again. Those beautiful green eyes. The eyes that were as green as fresh sea weed. She wouldn't admit it but she loved the smell. The beach calmed her. It reminded her of home.
She never thought it would happen, not to her anyway. She didn't want to fall in love. that's why she moved to Circe's island, to get away from all that. Then she met Jason. He saved her. He brought her to a new home, to a new safe haven. She found warmth within his smile. She found a new feeling. Then he disappeared.
She swore she would never love again. She needed him. She never thought there could be a match for Jason, but there sat Perseus Jackson. His perfect eyes, his perfect smile. Its funny how feelings could change from hate to love in an instant. Gods damn it Venus!
She offered him praetorship, power. He turned it down. How could he turn down something that is desired by every camper? She didn't understand him, but she yearned to do so. Later that night Mars appeared and sent him on a quest. Why was fate so cruel?
A few days had passed. He returned. She wouldn't admit it but she had waited desperately for him. She fell in love. She loved him. She offered him power again. This time he accepted it. He told her he had started remembering. He remembered his girlfriend. Her heart hurt. She could feel a hole opening in her heart. Why was fate so cruel? Why did this always happen? Why did everything keep changing? She put on a fake smile and joined him in greeting the Greeks. She decided that being beside him was enough, even if he was with another, she would be ok.
I wrote this on a random whim. I am beginning to like Percy and Reyna, but I still like Percy and Annabeth. I wrote this story because I have experienced what she was feeling and it proves a point. Sometimes, just being with the one you love is enough. This is a one shot. I hope you like it.
