"PERCY! ANNABETH!" I hear everyone screams as they jumps off the Argo 2 and runs towards us, we have been gone for 2 months, lost in the depths of Tartarus. The only thing that kept me going was the thought that Annabeth needed to get home, me? I didnt matter, only Annabeth.
Annabeth lets go of my hand and we both take off in a sprint towards the boat.
"Oh my gods, your back! How did you get back?" Says a frenzy of voices as we are swep towards the ship.
Later that night, as we all get into bed and try our hardest to go to sleep. I cant sleep, the horrors of the past two months are swimming behind my eyelids whenever i close my eyes.
I want to go to Annabeth but shes probably asleep. I dont want to wake her from a sleep she needs so badly. I lay there in bed for 4 hours thinking. We are so lucky that we got out, so lucky that we arent dead, or insane. In the midst of my thoughts I hear a scream.
"LET ME OUT! PLEASE! MAKE IT STOP!" I register it as Annabeth after im allready running towards her room. I pass everyone opening their doors in a mad sprint to get to Annabeth. When i reach her she is still screaming, clawing at the floor begging to get out.
I sink to my knees and pull her into a tight hug, she claws at mt arms but I ignore the pain and just focus on calming her down.
"Annabeth its okay, its over. Im right here, its okay" I just keep reapeting the same things rocking her back to sleep. I look up at the doorway to see the rest of the seven, and Nico, looking at us. Piper is crying with her head buried in Jasons shoulder, Frank has turned into a jittery, scared mess, and Nico just looks pained.
"Percy?" Annabeth says, opening her eyes. "I h-had a dream, and you were behind a big window, and-and I couldnt get to you, a-nd they stabbed you and st-stabbed you, you died... Percy, im scared."
" Its okay Annabeth, im right here. Noone will hurt you." I say kisskng her forehead. She curls up in my lap and sighs. I loom up at the other kids, they nod and turn, going back to their rooms.
"Percy?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you stay here for the night?"
"If you want."
"Thanks, can we get up off the floor?" Annabeth says, giving me a kiss.
We slowly lay down on Annabeths bed. She curls up against my chest and I hug her,
"I love you Percy."
"I love you to, Annabeth."
