Just a(n extremely) short drabble about Echo. Feedback is appreciated.
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO/HoO.
Echo felt constantly alone.
Narcissus wouldn't give her the time of day, being so infatuated with himself. It pained her, honestly. She loved the man, and yet, he cared only for him. Echo would have felt better if he would have cared for one of the members of his fanclub. At least then he might have feelings for someone other than himself.
Even if it wasn't Echo he had feelings for, loving someone else would save him from spending the rest of his life obsessing over only him.
Echo could be content with that.
She only wanted what was best for him, and if that meant him falling for one of his fangirls, that was alright. His happiness and safety was far more important than her silly feelings for him.
But the Fates were not that kind. Echo knew that Narcissus was doomed to continue on as he was, just as she was destined to love him and repeat what others spoke.
It seemed that nothing could change that.
