Summary:
What if the gods gave Beckendorf and Silena the chance to go back to the living?
In fact the gods do but with a limitation : Beckendorf loses his memory on Silena. Can Silena make him fall in love with her again?

Wild Hope
I catch a glimpse of our reflection Walk alone
Beside you I see myself
We are the season's new collection
We look like everybody else
Through the crowded streets into the fading grey
Here and gone
Like a decoration for the holiday
Mandy Moore – Wild Hope
Chapter 1: Second Chances
We've been dead now for almost a year. Being dead was something I just couldn't get used to. Even with Charlie on my side again,I felt lonely. I wanted to talk to my sisters, I wanted to tell them how proud I was. But It was impossible. In those moments, when I felt sad and lonely, Charlie always tried to cheer me up, but it wasn't really working.
Elysium was a strange place. It's like you picture heaven, except there are no clouds. There are some if you wish for them. In Elysium all your dreams can come true, you just have to wish for them. But there's one thing it can't grand you: your life. And that was my only wish. Being alive, living with Charlie in a small house in a small town, somewhere in California. Charlie knew of my secret dream, my biggest wish. He was about that whole dead thing, just as sad as I was. Every time I told him how wonderful life on earth would be, I could feel how is heart got a lot heavier. We don't even have hearts anymore, isn't that ironic?
But one day, my wish was granted.
I didn't know what's in store for me, when I saw my mother, Aphrodite walking to me. She smiled gently and pulled me in a hug. "Silena, my beautiful daughter. Charlie." She nodded at Chalie and gave him a small smile. "Why are you here, mother?" I asked her, which came out pretty rudely. "I have news. Good news. Well mostly good. Silena, Charlie the gods granted your wish." I stared at her in disbelief. My wish was to be alive again. The gods would never grant that. "You're unhappy here, even with Charlie. I can tell that. Hades is calling the Olympus almost every week, because of you. Your pleadings, wishes, they're too much to take, even for Elysium. The gods thought that we should grant you both the wish, because we owe you both." Aphrodite smiled at her own words. Suddenly I felt joy rushing through my undead body. Charlie seemed to be in as much disbelief as I was seconds ago. "But there's a limitation. Charlie won't remember you when you when you're both being alive again. He won't remember anything that has to do with you. Maybe, if he loves you enough, he will remember that there was someone he loved, and will hold the memory of the events that happened with you, but he won't remember that it was you." Aphrodite smile slowly faded, her beautiful blue eyes filled with sadness. "This was too good to be true." Charlie mumbled.
When she asked us if we take the gift of the gods, I looked at Charlie. He nodded at me. We both knew that this wasn't going to be easy. But I didn't thought that it'd be this hard.
Okayy, people. I want you to review my story..please? It's my first time, writing a PJ fanfic. So cut me some slack.
