Annabeth PoV

I sighed. It had been a month since we stopped the world from ending, and most campers were back to normal, but everyone that went on the quest and all the Cullens are still shaken up. I can hear Rosalie and Jasper trying to sob at night. I'm sure most people in our cabin could, but none of our siblings would ever say anything about it. The other members of our quest went their own ways. Thalia went back to the hunt, Grover went back to recruiting nymphs and satyrs, and Nico went back to the Underworld. Percy and I were the only ones that stuck together. I sighed again. I shouldn't be so depressed. It really was a beautiful day, and I was with Percy. We were lying on the grass together under Thalia's Pine. Pelus was only a couple feet away. Percy laced his fingers through mine.

"It'll be okay." He said reassuringly. He could always tell when I was mad or upset though he could mostly never tell why I was upset. That was a big problem when I was jealous of Rachel and Calypso. Today was one of the rare times that he understood why I was so upset.

"I know." I stated simply. It was true too. I would eventually get over Edward's death like I did with the Titan War. The situation was really similar with what happened with Luke. They both hurt, but I would be okay as long as I had Percy.

"I wish I had more time to know my brother." He said sadly. It was just like Percy to be this sad over a person he barely knew. I know he thinks it's his fault, but it isn't. It's mine. I remember when we brought back the sarcophagus.

Flashback:

We had arrived on Mrs. O'Leary who had been kept in another section of the cave. She was thankfully unharmed. We walked slowly, silent with mourning. I was at the front, and Mrs. O'Leary trotted after us. She panted happily, unaware of the sullen mood. Percy, Rosalie and I were the ones that held the sarcophagus. It made sense since we were the ones who knew him best even if Percy only knew him for an hour. We just made it past when the other Cullens and Chiron spotted us.

"Annabeth what happened?" Chiron asked me with concern. Rosalie was being swarmed by the other Cullens. Thalia, Grover, Nico, and Percy hung out at the back. They decided I would tell the story since I was the one that supposedly ended the war.

"Chiron we stopped Kronos from trying to attack Olympus again. Poseidon sent cyclopes to aid us. Ed-Edward he's gone." I managed to choke out the last sentence. I gestured to the sarcophagus. I wondered what it was like for Chiron to watch thousands of years of heroes die. I would have gone mad by now.

"Oh Annabeth." He murmured sadly before turning away to greet the others. The Cullens ran up to me.

"Bel-Annabeth is it true?" Esme demanded. Her eyes reflected the sadness that words could not express. The other Cullens except Rosalie stood behind her with the same expression of dread. Rosalie was stroking the sarcophagus. I nodded my head once. I couldn't' bring myself to meet her eyes.

"He died a hero's death, Esme. The world would have been destroyed if he did not do what he did. He'll go to Elysium. That is for sure." I said, trying to sound reassuring. All the Cullens started making strangled choking noises. I realized it was their way of crying. I stood by them. I would not disrespect them by walking away. I turned and saw other camper come out. Once they saw the crying Cullens and the sarcophagus they seemed to realize what was going on. Unlike us they had relief mixed into their features. They didn't need another war.

"It'll be okay. He's in a better place now." I stated. It was true. Edward saved enough people to go to Elysium. All the Cullens nodded at me sadly.

Flashback End:

After that day the Cullens hung out by themselves. They would train with only each other, learn with each other, and refuse to play capture the flag. When they went hunting they always went as a group. They seemed set on avoiding us and staying together. None of us blamed them. They decided that they were going to leave next week. This place had too many bad memories for them. The last time they interacted with each other was at the day of his funeral.

Flashback:

The entire camp was together to see Edward's shroud burn. The Cullen's and I were all going to say a say bit before we set it on fire. Edward's shroud was beautiful. It was a sea green color with a trident embroidered on it in silver. Once everyone was there the funeral started. Esme went first.

"H-he was like a son to me. He was always the loner of the group, but we hoped that he would find someone someday, but now we hope that he is in a better place." Esme said, emotion coloring her voice. I felt another pang of guilt when she mentioned him finding a soul mate. He loved me enough to kill himself, and I just played him.

"He is a son to me," Carlisle announced, "He was the first real company I had for two hundred years, and I couldn't ask for anyone better. May he be happy now wherever he is." Slowly each of the Cullens went. They all recounted how they met and why he was special to them. Soon it was my turn to speak.

"Edward was a true hero. He was the one who stopped another war." I announced simply. I didn't know what else to say. It wouldn't feel right to mention what happened when I had no feelings whatsoever about him. The Cullens nodded and we held the torch against the satin that wrapped his corpse. In a puff of smoke and sea-breeze Edward Cullen became no more.

Flashback End:

"Annabeth did you ever truly love him?" Percy asked. I knew he was curious but didn't ask because he figured it would hurt me. I felt myself getting mad. It felt rude to talk about the dead like that, but I couldn't hold it against him. If our roles were reversed I would have wanted to know that too. I would be mad with jealousy.

"I don't know Seaweed Brain. When I was with him I didn't love him. I hated the way he would always watch me every single moment of the day whether it was sleeping or in classes. I hated how he treated me like a fragile doll, but now that he's gone I'm having mixed feelings." I responded honestly. I looked at him to see his reaction. He just nodded and took his hand away from mine.

I prop both of us up and put my arms around his neck. "I love you Seaweed Brain. I always will. I am sure about that."

He smiled that smile that was one of the many reasons I fell for him. He pulled me close before whispering, "I love you too Wisegirl." Our lips met and in that moment I managed to forget about everything. All that mattered was that I had Percy and always would. I didn't notice the bronze haired spirit that watched us approvingly by Thalia's Pine.

I finally finished my story. I hope you guys liked it. You can tell me if you hated it.
