Lilia woke up late the next day, it was cabin inspection day and her room was a state. She didn't care too much to clean it up though because it was Annabeth's checking today.

She was curled up in bed when she heard a knock at her door.

"Lilia can we come in?" Annabeth called from behind the door.

We? She thought to herself.

"Sure." She grumbled rolling over to face the door.

Percy and Annabeth walked through the door and the girl failed to restrain from turning up her nose.

"Um, Lilia, you know it's inspection day right?"

"I know." She huffed looking at the piles of clothes on the floor.

"Right." Annabeth said. Writing a number down on the clipboard.

"There's no way you're giving her four out of five," Percy laughed, "no offence Lil, but your room is a mess."

"Thanks for the input Perseus." She said rolling her eyes, he frowned slightly at her attitude.

"Chiron doesn't need to know her room looks this bad." Annabeth shrugged, but Lilia could tell she struggled to put that four down. Annabeth hated breaking rules.

"That's not fair, you made me put three and her rooms much worse than my whole cabin!" Percy argued.

"Percy leave it." Annabeth said holding the clipboard away from him, but he grabbed it and put three.

"Sorry Lil but can't break the rules!" He said with a playful smirk.

"Whatever." She grumbled rolling over.

"I told you to leave it." Annabeth's hissed at the boy. "We'll talk to you later yeah Lili?" Annabeth asked softly.

Lilia didn't say anything, just put a thumbs up to them and waited for them to leave.

As her friends walked out the door she heard Percy whisper, "what's her problem?"

"I don't know, probably You!" Annabeth hissed quietly, she didn't hear the rest of the conversation.

She huffed getting out of bed and walking across the hall. She knocked on Silena's door and heard a muffled. "Come in."

She walked in and smiled at her sister, she wasn't looking too good. Her hair was all tangled and she had dark circles beneath her eyes.

She hadn't left her room since the war meeting the day before, yet her room remained clean. It looked as though she hadn't left the nest she'd made in her bed since then.

"How you feeling?" Lilia said getting under the covers and cuddling up to her sister.

"Sad." Silena whispered hoarsely.

"He really loved you Silena and... and I know it's hard but he saved us all a lot of time." Lilia said quietly, she wasn't sure whether that would be helpful or not but she was trying.

"That's the problem, he loved me. He was the first boy to ever love me for me." She said a tear trickling slowly down her cheek.

"I'm sorry Silena, I know this is awful and I can't imagine how you must be feeling but, it will get better." Lilia said pulling her closer.

"I hope so." Silena sobbed into her shoulder. Lilia stared at the wall infront of her helplessly. The wall was almost entirely filled with pictures and memories of Silena and Charles. She didn't know how to help her sister and it was breaking her heart.
