Annabeth's POV (point of view)
I was in my bed laying sound asleep when I heard scuttle noises coming from downstairs. I was scared of what might be down there for I knew an animal that made those scuttle noises as it shuffled across the floor. I took precious little steps not wanting to go down, but I knew I had to if I ever wanted to go back to sleep. Before I made it down I could already see what it was that woke me. It had 8 legs, huge pincers and a body that would make a lion sized German Shepard run for mommy. In fact I wanted to run for mommy, but all I could do was scream. It was all I was capable of. I couldn't run, I couldn't fight, all I could do was scream. That was terrible because this giant beast hadn't noticed me until then. That's when it came after me. It took little steps like it knew I wouldn't move, like it knew I wouldn't fight, and I couldn't. It had red eyes like search lights when it turned to me, and a red hour glass shaped mark on it. Its little steps grew, just like my panic, though I didn't think that was possible. The steps were just the right size to send chills through my body, to increase my fear and the volume of my screams. It had other spider minions scuttling around me like it was the mother and they were waiting to be fed. I was helpless. Why didn't I think to bring a weapon? This is the end; this is how I'll die. It had its pinchers around me then, poison pushing into me I knew I was dead then. I felt nothing. I was done now, but still I was screaming. How?
I woke up in a cold sweat screaming, my father shaking my shoulder, trying to wake me. I saw my step-mother my step-brother, Bobby and Mathew, all with looks of concern. Bobby and Mathew began to laugh. I glared at them upset that they could laugh after my nightmare. As if my glare wasn't enough, my father and Step-mother glared to which silenced them.
"Thanks, that was terrible" I said, the color probably drained from my face.
Then I noticed where I was. I was downstairs when I could swear I'd fallen asleep on my bed. I must've looked confused.
"What, what's wrong? Annabeth are you okay?" My father asked.
"Mostly," I said, "At least mentally, physically not so much."
I told them they could go back to sleep and that I was okay after they asked the 17th time, although it was a lie.
I followed them back upstairs and back into my room. I sat Indian style on my bed and pulled the covers over my legs. I couldn't fall asleep again. Every so often I would see a swarm of pitch black spiders crawl onto my bed.
They're not real, Annabeth when you blink they'll be gone. It was true I blinked and they left. Just an illusion. They still frightened me because they came back so many times. I couldn't sleep. I barley wanted to blink. Too Dark, I thought to myself. I looked at my phone. There was someone I desperately needed to talk to, but at 2 o'clock in the morning. He might not pick up. I had to thought, I needed to here his voice. I have to, but what if he gets mad at me. No, he won't, I know him better than that, and I know if I tell him about this in the morning he'll talk about how I could've called if I wanted to. You know what I'm going to call him. I have to. I picked up the phone. He was the first on speed dial, because he was the most important to me. I pressed the talk button and waited. 1 ring, 2 rings, 3, rings, 4 rings. That's when I heard a voice I'd never been so happy to here.
"Hello, Annabeth what's wrong," He said fully concerned which he had a reason to be since I'd called him a 2 in the morning.
"Hey,
