We all sat around a campfire. Me and Jason both sat on a log, while everyone else sat on other logs. The fire blazed through different colors every minute. Purple, pink, yellow, and green. After we all settled down, it turned orange Chiron whistled to get everyone's attention. "Campers? I have called her for a very important reason. You all know Jason Grace and Piper McLean, correct?" Chrion asked. Everyone nodded, except this girl. Her hair was blonde and her eyes were grey. "Um...I don't, Chirone." She said. Chiron grunted. "Bethany, it's Chiron. And, these are two of my campers from a few years back. I wish for you to grow up like these heroes." Chiron explained. Jason smiled, but a layer of guilt settled on me. This girl looked exactly like Annabeth. Years younger, yes. But other than that, she was an exact match. I stood up. "Chiron, we came here to give you all news." I said before Chiron could keep talking. Chiron nodded. I began. "You all have heard of these eight campers. Nico, Hazel, Leo, Conner, Travis, Percy, and Annabeth." I said. Bethany stood up and waved her arm. "I know Annabeth! She's my sister!" She yelled. My heart sank. "I...I...I can't do this." I said quickly and ran off towards the cabins. I looked for the Aphrodite cabin. Even though I didn't go to camp anymore, I needed to be here. It was like my second home. I swung my head from side to side, searching for a big pink cabin. I finally stopped running. The cabin in front of me, the Aphrodite cabin, looked exactly the same as before. It was still pink and huge. The roof was a deep shade of magenta and glitter rained over the sides. I slammed the door open, and ran inside. I saw my old bed. Way in the back, with the name, Kellie, written in cursive on the head joint. I yanked the covers off and laid down. I buried my face in the pillow and cried. I heard shouts from outside, but I had locked the cabin door. My memories clogged my mind. I wanted to forget about all these things. All my friends. I wanted to start over. That's when I got an idea. A sat up in the bed and looked up at the ceiling. "Aphrodite? Mom? I can't take this anymore. I need you to help me. Give me a potion or something. Give me amnesia. I don't care, just make this nightmare end." I prayed to my mom. I turned over and buried my head in my pillow. I willed myself to fall asleep...
In my dream, I saw Aphrodite. We were in Circe's Spa, Aphrodite sitting in a salon chair. Her golden hair was swept over her shoulder. She was wearing a flowery white dress, the top laced with pearls and diamonds. She turned in chair to face me. "You called?" She asked. I nodded quickly. "I need you to erase my memories." I said. Aphrodite stood up. "Piper, dear. I cannot do that. Erase your memories? That's horrible." She told me in a hushed voice. "No, mom. With everyone dead, I can't take it." I cleared my throat. "Please." Aphrodite shook her head. "Are you sure, darling, you want all of your memories to be erased?" She asked me. I thought about it. "Not my memories with Jason. And I'd like to know I'm still a demigod. Could you do that?""I smiled weakly. Aphrodite frowned. "Very well." She twirled her hand up in the air, and a shimmering vile of purple liquid appeared on her hand. She brought it to her chest. "Take this, sweetie. When you drink it, you'll lose your memories just like that." Aphrodite snapped on Just. "And, remember, I love you." She smiled. I nodded. "Thank you, mother." I said. Aphrodite sighed, said goodbye, and handed me the vile. As soon as I took it, I woke up.
I was laying in my old bed, the vile on a dresser next to me. I sat up and saw everyone around me. I swallowed. "Sorry, guys." I said. A girl that waS my age pushed through the crowd. She had curly black hair and her eyes were a deep blue. "Sorry to them? Be sorry to me. 'Cause that's my bed." She crossed her arms and snickered. I nodded and said sorry. I quickly got up from the bed and ran outside, the vile in hand. I heard heavy foo steps behind me. Jason's voice cracked the still air. "Piper! Wait up!" He called. I stopped suddenly, he slammed into my back. He dropped the ground and coughed. "Thanks." He said exaggeratedly. I smiled and helped him up. "I told them the story." He said. My spirits fell. "Oh...well, look." I held up the vile. He grabbed it. "Whoa. What is that stuff?" Jason asked, handing it back. I shook my head. "It erases my memory. I'll still remember you and that I'm a demigod, but nothing else. Aphrodite gave it to me." I explained. Jason cocked his head. "Why did you take it?" He asked. I swallowed hard. "Because I wouldn't be able to live with that heartache for all my life." I said. Jason nodded and rubbed my arm. "Whatever you want, hon." He told me. I nodded and popped the cork from the vile. I looked around one more time. "They live on." I smiled and sipped the vile's content. The purple liquid tasted bitter and stale, like an iced coffee that was left in the sun for a few days. When finished, I handed the bottle to Jason. My vision blurred, and I dropped the vile before Jason could take it. The glass shattered, my head pounded, my vision darkened. I slumped forward and Jason caught right before I blacked out.
