1. Her Dress

It was supposed to be her wedding dress, but things had changed. Annabeth looked like a ghost, more now than ever. But she couldn't help standing in front of the mirror swishing side to side, like she had done in the bridal shoppe when she picked it out. Thalia had been with her, for moral support, smiling of course and telling her that she looked beautiful.

She took her hands from her tearstained face and decided that she would give anything in this world to go back and stop the monster, that took his life.

There was a soft knock at the door and Rachel Dare came in. She was wearing a black dress. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot. Annabeth didn't look much better.

"You look amazing,"

"I shouldn't have tried it on," she looked at her feet.

"I don't blame you, I would've done the same,"

Annabeth looked at Rachel. "I didn't know you owned a dress. How did you get in?"

"Key," she sniffled and held it up.

"Of course,

Rachel walked to the mirror and stood next to her.

"It's my wedding day," Annabeth sat down on the bed and started crying again.

Rachel sat down next to her and hugged her.

She looked at her fingers and flexed them numbly. "I need to get changed, we've got to leave,"

Nico appeared in the doorway then saw them and started to back away. "Oh, sorry,"

"No, come on in. Do you think... That I could just change my mind and have the rites done at camp half-blood, just call of the funeral and visitation?"

"No," Nico leaned on the doorframe.

"I should have it there. None of this should be happening!"

She touched the fifth bead on her necklace: the trident.

Nico had talked to his ghost, Percy Jackson's only regret was time lost with Annabeth. But Nico hadn't told her because she'd only beg him to see Percy, her groom, one last time.

There was no easy way to put away a wedding dress that you had never worn for the last time, but Annabeth had to.

She had Nico send an Iris message to camp, she wanted to go there and have a shroud burned.
