I Will Not Surrender

Poppy, curiously, flipped through the stack of letters sitting on her lap. A few of the names she recognized, although there were a couple that looked familiar yet did not ring a bell. She picked up an envelope with the name Chris scratched onto the front in black ink. Poppy had a hard time remembering his story; many of them were often overlooked. Intrigued, she slid her finger under the seal and opened to the letter written in a black scrawl.

Chris,

I want to start out by saying that this is really stupid. I don't really know what I am doing. Silena said it would give me release and make me feel better; but thus far it has only made me feel stupid. But I guess I will give it a shot.

Ever since I found you wandering around in the desert of Arizona, the only thing I have been able to think of is making you get better. It's like the mind-set a solider has going into battle: they have a singular goal. Trying to cure you has been the only thing that I am able to think of at any given moment. I am going into battle with this mind-set.

Mr D said that it was hopeless, but I do not believe that. I may have lost a few of the battles, but I have not lost the war. Nor will I surrender until I am victorious. There is nothing that can quell my attempt to gain the high ground. I will continue to fight for you Chris. I have not lost hope, neither should you.

Please, get better soon.

Clarisse

The letter has brought up more questions than it had answered. Poppy was eager to know more about this pair of lovers. She wondered who these people were, as she returned the letter to its envelope and placed it among the others. She made a mental note to herself to ask Chiron about them once she had finished reading the letters.

A/N: Okay, so this chapter was a little hard for me to write. I have never really thought much about how Clarisse would speak or (in this case) write. I really wanted to do this couple, but was a little hesitant because I also really wanted to do it justice. So, I tired to portray how I think Clarrise sounds in my head. I really hope it is okay.

And if you would like to see a letter from any specific character or couple please let me know and I will try my hardest to do it justice. But my plan is to try to get all the really well know couples down and then venture out a little more.
