The O.C., Lexi, is a daughter of Apollo. She is about eleven years old.
Nothing
Song: Black Keys – Jonas Brothers
Lexi couldn't breathe. All around her, other demigods were fighting. Monsters were pouring out of the Labyrinth. But Lexi barely noticed. All she could see was her oldest brother, collapsed on the ground.
Not moving.
The world turned to gray. It seemed like everything was spinning. Lexi dropped her bow and quiver, forgetting the battle around her, and sprinted to her brother's side. Will Solace appeared by her side moments later. Lexi reached out, placing two fingers on the inside of Lee's wrist.
Nothing.
No pulse.
And suddenly everything looked different. Even weeks later, when she's playing piano, the black keys shine brighter. All the colors of the rainbow seemed dull. And through the darkness, is a glow, something telling her to keep going, never give up. So she takes Will's hand, and stands up to fight. No longer for Olympus, but for Lee Fletcher, a fallen hero.
Colors fade to gray
Every precious moment's now a waste…..
And the black keys
Never looked this beautiful,
And a perfect rainbow,
Never seemed so dull,
And the lights out,
Never had this bright a glow,
And the black keys,
Showing me a world I'd never know.
I recommend listening to the song while you read it. You can request a song in a review, I will probably write it.
