Annabeth's POV
I woke up with a start the nightmares where awful ever since we defeated Gaia. This one was about what would have happened if we hadn't defeated her, I shivered at he thought. I saw a faint glow of light coming from the foot of my bed I hopped out of bed to see my eight-year-old camper reading. I checked the time it was 3 in the morning. Walked over to her.
"Elizabeth why aren't you sleeping? I asked her confused.
"Because every time I sleep there are nightmares." She answered obviously frightened of the nightmares I felt for her but I knew I had to get her back to sleep.
"Yes, nightmares suck how about you go back so sleep." She looked worried at the proposal.
" I spread out her blanket which looked like it had been knitted for her. Smiling at her and looked at the floor to see her stuffed animal dog and handed it to her.
"Pink Puppy!" she said happily hugging it and cuddling back into bed.
"Was that the real reason you couldn't sleep." I asked.
" Part of it?" she said innocently. I smiled at her
" Well good night". I turned out the light and walked back to my bed. I was dreading going back to sleep, even more than Elizabeth. There was only one person who fully understood what I was going through. I walked out of my cabin and quietly walked over to the Poseidon cabin and slid in. Percy was sitting up in his bed.
"Hey wise girl"
"hey seaweed brain" I sat next to him in he bed
"nightmares?" he asked
"yea, you?"
"I've been having them to. He said
" I feel like you're the only one that truly understands what I'm going through." I confided. Lying down next to him i looked at him remembering those months without him and what would if she lost him again.
"Percy I never want to loose you. I go crazy with out you. It was bad before but know after Tartarus, I can't loose you."
"I could never leave or loose you either Annabeth it was bad with out the memories it would be even worse with them. But Annabeth we'll be fine, as long as we're together."
"I guess." We cuddled together and slowly fell in to a dream free sleep.
Chiron's POV
I looked around and I didn't see Percy or Annabeth at breakfast. After wards I went over to cabin free and opened the door to se them cuddled together sound asleep. Chiron smiled finally his Annabeth had fond somebody. He might have been mad that they where sleeping together but most of all he was happy after all they had been though they needed each other. He smiled and closed the door behind him making sure to not wake them up.
