Hello again. Thank you for the reviews:) Bookluva98, thanks for the constructive critisism:) I agree that the second one-shot wasn't very well written. Anyway, here's another one-shot I tried writing, this time on Silena after her boyfriend's death. Please review and tell me what you think. I know it's short...
No. No. NO.
It couldn't be. It just couldn't. He wasn't gone. He...he wasn't! He wouldn't have left her like this. He knew how much his life meant to her, he knew how meaningless her life would be without him. He knew everything about her...so...he couldn't have left. It wasn't possible.
The truth clawed its way back into her mind and heart and she screamed as tears poured out from her eyes like rain from a stormcloud. Her denial to accept reality wasn't going to change anything. He was dead. The guy she had truly loved after years spent playing with the hearts of other men was gone forever. The guy she had spent night after night snuggling up next to was lost. The guy she had given her entire heart to, with all sincerity, was now infinitely out of reach from her grasp. She would never again feel his strong arms hug her tightly, reluctant to let go...never again hear his heartbeat chant his undying love for her as she leaned against his chest...never again tell him "I love you", knowing she meant it with her entire being...never, never ever...It was too much.
She had believed in love a whole lot, being the daughter of Aphrodite. She trusted that love would never fail her, that it was this that made the world a better place. Now, she doubted all of it. What did you do when the one you loved was gone, hidden in the shadows of the Underworld? What did you do when the one you lived for left you? She chuckled bitterly. Ha ha. She was quoting Twilight and even that brought her painful memories. She could remember the times when she thought love was that superficial, like shown in movies, all about kisses and bed scenes. She had been wrong. He had taught her what true love really was and she had never forgotten. The way she felt about him was practically indescribable and now that he was gone, the pain was practically unbearable.
Actually, it honestly was unbearable.
As memory after sweet memory of her time spent with him fluttered through her exhausted mind, she found herself being engulfed in more and more pain. It hurt so much but she had no way of escaping all of it since there was no way of bringing him back. Tear after tear fell uncontrollably down her face as her sore heart cried in agony for its other half. Gone, gone forever. Why? Why? Why?
She curled up into a ball. She couldn't take it anymore but there was nothing for her to do. She knew now why her half-sisters never got themselves into serious relationships. They knew what her mom dealt with better than she did. Love was wonderful. But it hurt too.
Without him, it was like a whole chunk of her heart had been torn out from her chest. It was like an essential piece of her just wasn't there and the other pieces were now dying. Losing him was the most painful thing she had ever experienced and ever would, for sure. He was gone now and she had to believe it. It was the truth and truth and love hurts.
It was painful to think that she had finally fallen truly in love just to lose it all. To lose him. To lose everything.
Coming up next: Either Thalico or Nico by himself. Honestly, I don't really like the Thalia/Nico pairing but because moonlight13sunlight reviewed THRICE asking for it and others also asked for it, I'm quite sure I would write one:D However, I may post one on Nico(by himself) first, since I already wrote a simple one-shot concerning just him.
If you're reading this, please review. Even a one-word review provides encouragement to the writer. Of course, constructive critism is more favourable.
