Author's Notes: takes place in Elysium after TLO. The prompt is because they're both ghosts. I had trouble with this one, all of the others were too angsty.
Summary: Silena and Beckendorf have a talk.
Prompt: Ghosts
"You remember the final battle?" He asked her.
"How could I forget?" She answered.
"I miss them."
"So do I."
"Remember when Nico scared Percy and Grover by shadow-traveling."
Laughter.
"Yeah, and they grabbed Annabeth and hid behind her?" His voice was breathless from the laughter.
"And she nearly killed them?"
"By dragging them into the Aphrodite cabin? Hilarious."
"Easy on the cabin-bashing." She said crossly.
"Sorry."
"I wish we could see them."
"I'm sure Nico will think of something."
Silence for a moment.
"I hate it here." He exclaimed.
"So do I." She agreed softly.
"At least we can see each other."
"It's not enough."
"No, it isn't."
"Thanks for waiting." She said, leaning her head against his shoulder.
"No prob." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and smiled.
"Do you blame me?"
"No."
"Do you miss your friends?"
"Yes."
Silence again.
"I wish no one else had died." The girl sighed, sounding disgusted with herself.
"I do too." He said, even though he didn't have as much reason to.
"I regret it."
"I know you do."
"Do you forgive him for manipulating me?"
"Yep." His voice turned angry, contradicting his words.
"Are you only saying yes because you're scared of me?" Her smile leaked through her tone.
"Yep."
A brilliant smile appeared on her face.
"Love you Charlie."
"Yep. Oh, I mean-love you too Silena."
The couple walked farther into Elysium, holding hands.
