Here are a bunch of one shots, for the Ipod Challenge. I know, prolly epic fail. But They are all ten sentences. All of them, except for the last.
Which is a special one to me.
One.
Song: Move Along. By All American Rejects.
The only thing Thalia can do is keep herself alive as she gets crushed underneath the statue.
And as she lay, buried under the statue, her body shaking involuntarily, she recalled her life.
Luke.
Her heart wrenched at the sudden thought of the name.
It evaporated all hope in her body, and even the shakes stopped coursing through her body.
She lay motionless, good as dead in the wreckage.
Her electric blue eyes glazed over, slowly closing.
Dust sticking to her face from tears she didn't know she spilled.
Suddenly, she knew, she knew he was gone.
And her heart emptied of all feeling.
Two.
Song: Welcome to My Life, by Simple Plan.
You call yourself a hero, yet your the hero that let all of them die for you.
You fight, you kick, you scratch and claw.
Anything to get away from the words that haunt you.
You break up with her, you cut off all your friends, keeping to yourself despite their efforts to bring back the old you.
But you can't take it, can't stand it anymore.
One more person who says, "What's wrong," and you'll crack.
At night, you kneel next to the fountain that gurgles peacefully.
And you scream.
It's a terrifying sound, filled with raw emotion.
And you cry, hoping that nobody will hear you, yet knowing that they do.
Three.
Song: Wanted Dead or Alive, by Bon Jovi.
She's a fly on the wall, the spy.
The one who gives away their secrets.
She hates herself for it.
The only solace is Charlie, and soon enough he's gone too.
There is nothing to lose.
Nothing to gain.
Nothing at all in her world.
The world that was once filled with hope and promise for everything.
Now there is nothing at all as she reveals who she really is; the spy who wasted so many lives and efforts.
But she is a hero, something that will never change.
Four.
Song: Cat and Mouse, by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
You insignificant little bitch!
You brat!
You can't do anything right!
The words are said daily at Bianca, and she wonders if they're true.
How is she supposed to be happy, when everything she's wanted is just out of reach?
Why is it always her who gets the tough luck?
She cries, and devotes all her energy into making sure her little brother never gets to hear what she does.
Nobody likes her until she joins the Hunt, and suddenly all her wishes come true.
Then she dies, just as she gets everything she's ever wanted, just as she's happy.
She died as she lived; brave and fighting for the ones she loved.
Five.
Song: Viva la Vida, by coldplay.
She watched him secretly.
Waiting for him to tell her.
Waiting for something that will never happen.
Something that was never meant to be.
And as he fell, while she was stuck, she knew.
She knew she would be waiting forever.
Even in Hell.
Even on Earth.
"I love you, Thalia."
The traitor can rest at last.
Six.
Song: Apologize, by OneRepublic.
He sacrificed, giving up all he loved.
He lied, trying to protect the things that mattered.
He delivered, all that was needed.
He gave up, several times.
He fought, defending the thing inside him.
He gained control, and jumped.
He fell off the bridge, and wished to die.
He hurtled through the air, reconciling with himself, praying forgiveness from the gods and his friends.
He hit the water with a final I'm so sorry, and his wish was granted.
He is considered a hero for his actions, though what he did was so, so wrong.
Seven.
Song: Always, by Bon Jovi.
His heart ached for a love that would never be.
He was a silly Hephaestus kid, building pretty much useless contraptions;
she was the heartthrob of the camp.
He loved her with all his being;
She loved, period.
He was weighed down by his heavy heart, she as free as a bird.
"I love you, Silena," he confessed to her one night.
She agreed and kissed him.
Then he died on the ship, because of her, but he loved her nonetheless.
His heart beat with a love that was, and would always be; no matter what.
Eight.
Song: Everything I Need, by the Veronicas.
A jumbled of letters, signs that made no sense.
She tried frantically to read the note, making out eight letters.
Frustratedly, she tried to read, and couldn't.
How pathetic.
Two weeks later, she and Percy were sitting on the beach when he asks her a present.
"Did you get my note?"
"What note?"
"The one that said..."
"Said what?"
"I love you."
Nine.
Song: Me Against the World, by Simple Plan.
She wandered off, so what?
Does she deserve the Hell she lives in?
He kidnapped her, made her kiss him.
He tasted of berries and death.
He threatens her, tells her she can't leave.
Her mother is furious when she finds out.
And she is granted freedom, if only for a little while.
But she gets to see the sunlight that warms her skin, and in honor of her husband she creates a berry.
She names it nightlock, the most deadly berry in the world; once eaten it will kill you.
Just like the fruit that granted the entrance to her eternal prison.
And last but not least, Ten.
