Hello! Another songfic! I am in a Les Miserables mood right now, so I am going to write a bit more with the songs from there. Feel free to review, what could I do better? And what was good with it?
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or the songs presented in my songfics.
Wills POV
Will walked inside the Apollo cabin for the first time after the war, it was empty. The cabin was much bigger inside than it looked on the outside, each bed was under a window and they had much space on the floor. On the tables in the middle of the cabin laid many lyrics sheets. Will saw a lyric that lay on the top, in neatly handwriting it stood 'Michael' on the top of the sheet. Will's eyes watered, but he began to sing anyway
There's a grief that cant be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
Will felt a tear trickle down his cheek, but he didn't care this song brought so many feelings he continued the song:
Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came
He vaguely sensed it was some others there in the cabin but he didn't care and couldn't see past his tears
From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
I can hear them now!
He couldn't but he wanted so badly to hear his siblings at least only once more
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade, at dawn
Will felt a hand on his shoulder but he didn't turn to see who it was, he just felt he had to finish the song
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
He could feel his throat tighten but he sang anyway he had to get this out
Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Were my friends will meet no more
He could still see them, he could imagine Michael sitting in his bunk playing on his guitar, he could imagine the girls sitting in front of the TV and see Les Miserables while crying and rapidly write down text
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What your sacrifice what for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will be no more
"Oh Will" a girl said beside me, I saw Nyssa sit beside me at my bunk, tears in her eyes. I tried to explain, but she seemed to understand and just hugged me. "But we survived Will, and we will make sure all our friends and siblings didn't die in vain"
Percy POV
On my walk trough the camp I saw that most of the survived sat outside the Apollo cabin tears in their eyes, I walked nearer and heard Will Solaces voice:
From the table in the corner
They would see a world reborn
Percy remembered the lines they were from Les Miserables. And he listened to the text he sang and understood, Will tried to get rid of too much grief, Percy sat down with the rest of the campers and listened to Will's soothing voice.
