-------Annabeth POV-------

I ran into camp, stumbling on the way. I could feel tears falling through my eyes, and I could hear the sobs are muffled screams seeping through my lips. I knew my friends were running up to me, but I fell and crashed next to Thalia's tree. 

I heard someone shout my name, but I didn't look away from my hands as my fingers dug into the dirt angrily. My tears fell from my eyes onto my hands, and I loosened my grip a bit. My tears came more angrily now.

How could they do it?

How could they think he was a traitor?

He was innocent.... He shouldn't have been punished for something he didn't do...

I was going to prove it. And I was going to show them all he was innocent. My Seaweed Brain was innocent. 

I stood up, my hands and knees dirty. I could feel tears still streaming down my face, but I didn't care. I looked around at my comrades, a scowl on my face. "He's innocent."

The group grew confused looks on their faces, and watched as I stormed off to my cabin. I felt their gazes burning against my back but I ignored it. I ignored the confused stares of campers walking around. I ignored everything. I had one goal. I was going to prove him innocent. And nothing was going to get in my way.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"How could they possibly think that?" Hazel asked me, ignoring the shock on her friends faces.

"I-I don't know.." I said, staring solemnly at my feet.

"I feel bad for not talking to him for a while now," I heard Frank whisper.

Jason held his knees to his chest as he sat next to Percy's bed. "I was going to talk to him last week, and at first I couldn't find him, right? So I went to the lake, and found him staring at the stars. I decided not to approach him because I didn't know what he was doing."

Jason paused, looking up to meet my gaze. "Go on," I told him.

"I hid next to a tree, and waited for him to do something. I watched him and at first he didn't do anything. It was like he was in a trance. He didn't move for what felt like half an hour, but I'm sure it was less than 10 minutes. Still, that was really weird, since he's one of the most ADHD people I've ever met," Jason sighed, taking a deep breath. "Finally he let out a small sigh, his gaze unbreaking from a single constellation. He gave the stars a small, sad smile and said, 'Bob says hello.' I don't know who Bob is, but I guess Percy knew him well or something. A single tear slid down his cheek, glistening softly in the moonlight. His smile faltered for a second before he asked, 'Hi Zoe, it's been a while, how's life in the stars?'"

My breath hitched as I looked at Jason with wide eyes. I felt small tears once again crawl out of my eyes, and I looked over at Nico. He looked just as sad and shocked as I felt. "I remember Zoe," he said. "The huntress, right?"

I gave a solemn nod, and everyone looked confused. I shook my head, as if to say, we'll tell you later.

"Jason, can you continue?" I half asked half whispered. 

He nodded and continued, "'Life down here isn't that great,' he said. 'Ever since that new kid came, people have been ignoring me. Can I tell you a story?' He had paused, as if expecting an answer. When he didn't get one, he continued talking. 'When my friends and I were traveling on our ship, we ran into Hercules. I was grounded, so I didn't actually meet him. I wish I did, though. I would've kicked his arse for you. I know I didn't know you long, but I still like talking to you. If you were here right now you'd probably laugh in my face and tell me, Look at thy self, talking to no one.' Percy chuckled to himself, probably imagining her next to him. He didn't say anything after that, and he just lay down on the beach, gaze unwavering from the stars." 

I let out a half-hearted chuckle, imagining Zoe laughing at Percy while he talked to the her. Piper looked at me and asked, "Who even says the word 'thy' anymore?"

"She was one of the oldest huntresses, older than Artemis herself. She was never near modern people, and the old English just stuck with her, I guess." Nico answered, shrugging. 

A/N (I have lost my dignity to this story. Lord help meh it's too early in the morning) 

No one talked after that, we just sat around thinking. I looked around, knowing no one would break the silence. I curled up on his bed, and fell asleep. I don't know what the others did, but I know we all fell asleep in cabin 3.

-------------------------------------

Mom let out a small laugh, laying down so the sand could hold her tired form. My father lay next to her, gaze glued to the huntress constellation. "Bob says hello."

I knew the tale of Bob the Titan. My mom used to tell me it as a bed time story. Iapetus had taken a dip in the River Lethe, wiping away his memories. Then my dad and his friend Nico decided to call him Bob, who was given a job in the Underworld. Later when mom and dad fell into Tartarus, Bob jumped in to help him. Later, Bob sacrificed himself so that my parents could get out of the Doors of Death safely. 

At my fathers words, the moon seems to shine in response. Mom smiles at that, letting out a longing sigh. "I wonder what Zoe would say if she saw us now."

"Well, I know what she wouldn't say." With this comment, my mom laughed at my dad. I didn't really get the joke, but from what I've heard about her I knew it wouldn't be something like 'good for you, boy.'

I lay back on the beach, curling up next to my parents. If we were anywhere else it would've been stupid to fall asleep, but the beach we were at was enchanted by the gods as a 'sorry' present for my parents at their wedding. 

The irony almost made me laugh, but I knew better than to break this perfectly solemn moment. All was peaceful, the moon and stars reflecting on the water,  the trees lining the horizon perfectly. It seemed as if this was the most peaceful moment you could get as a demigod. Maybe it was. 

Maybe it was.
