Warning: Coarse Language
Solitude
By Complete Synch
She's tired of this charade she's playing. She's sick of the whole fucking facade. So she lets her mask slip, her mask of indifference.
The one that she's been trying so hard to hold in place ever since he's disappeared, but now standing in front of her without a fucking clue who she is, she just lets go.
For six months, she's hoped that a flicker of recognition might cross his face, but who is she kidding.
Would Hera really make it that easy? Of course not.
So she just watches him trot back to the Romans like a loyal puppy obeying his master.
She feels so stupid and weak for deluding herself, and stupid and weak are two things that Annabeth Chase most definitely isn't.
Or that's what she wants everybody else to believe because, in reality, she's breaking, piece by piece, from the inside out.
It's only a matter of time before her walls topple down and her hurt seeps through the cracks.
She'd much rather have a private meltdown so she stalks into the forest, daring any monster to fight her.
She lets a frustrated growl as her helplessness vanishes and is replaced by anger, and she wants to punch something, or preferably someone but instead yanks her bronze knife out of its sheath and hurls it at the closes tree, embedding it to the hilt.
A flustered dryad appears, jabbering at her, but honestly, she doesn't give a shit as she wrenches the knife out and storms over to a cluster of rocks.
It reminds her of Zeus fist, and it's here perched among the rocks, she lets her mask come tumbling down. It hits the ground shattering into a thousand pieces, and this time round he's not there to pick them up and piece her back together, because this time he doesn't even know who the hell she is.
So yeah... another little drabble.
I'm pretty sure you know who I'm referring to, and if you don't, well I'm horrified!
But you can drop me a line if you want me to explain.
Thanks to The Wisdom of Me, meeeethegr8 and apophenia13 for favouriting my one-shot Two Words, it means heaps to me when someone favs my story.
