Answer:
If this is for Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief chapter 19, "We Find Out the Truth, Sort of," when they are in Hades thrown room then this scene shows that the friends are willing to sacrifice for each other for the happiness and safety of the others. This also shows the trust that the friends have for one another. Percy had been accused of taking the master bolt, and when it was found in his backpack, both Annabeth and Grover knew and trusted Percy enough to know that he had not taken it. Towards the end of the chapter Percy leaves his mom behind in the underworld with Hades. Both Annabeth and Grover try to persuade Percy to let them stay in the underworld so Percy can have his mom, but Percy declines and takes Annabeth and Grover with him back to the surface.

Answer:
Yes, I believe it could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Explanation:
Self-fulfilling prophecy is a result of the Pygmalion effect. According to this theory, we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. If people believe we will succeed, for example, we too begin to believe we will succeed. For that reason, we change our behavior, aligning it with the belief, making a self-fulfilling prophecy out of it.
In the short story "Harrison Bergeron", Harrison is a fourteen-year-old who is considered to be above average in a world that does not allow people to be anything but average. Intelligent and/or beautiful people are forced by the government to wear handicappers, so that others won't feel offended or humiliated. Treating Harrison like that - forcing him to wear loads of handicappers - convinces him that he is superior, that he is special, that he deserves to show how wonderful he is to the world. People's expectations of Harrison create a self-fulfilling prophecy. He will now inevitably act as if he were really as handsome and intelligent as others claim him to be.
Harrison appears on TV after escaping from where he was kept. He removes his handicappers and dances with a ballerina, until they are both shot and killed. If Harrison were truly superior, truly exceedingly intelligent, he would have known better than to do that. His actions were not the result of his real intelligence, but of his being treated as being more intelligent than others.
Snowball originally created the plans for the windmill, yet Napoleon obviously hated it, even, um, relieving himself on it once.
Yet once Napoleon forced Snowball out, he started the construction of the windmill, claiming that it was his idea in the beginning. The windmill did fall over at one point, but it was rebuilt.
