Title: It's Okay I'm Right Here

Pairing: Percabeth

Description - Annabeth has a nightmare of all the hard times and difficulties she had to go through. It's normal for demigods to have nightmares, sadly, and the only person she can think of to go to when she wakes up from one is her Seaweed Brain.

The heat was unbearable. Annabeth's shirt was so sweaty it felt like a second skin- sticking to her back and clinging to her front. Her ankle was killing her and she didn't think she could last any longer. She looked left and right and gasped. She was surrounded.

By a horde of Cyclopse.

She cried out when the first one came charging at her, but her voice was empty. She could feeling herself yelling, shouting, screaming even, but she couldn't hear it. She was worried she had gone deaf, but hearing one of the Cyclospe roar at her denied that thought. She sobbed as she dodged to the right and ran for her life.

She didn't know how she gotten there, but one thing was for sure, she had to get out of there. Some monster, she couln't verify what it was for it came at her so fast, charged at her and she swiped her dagger at it, running there it's dusty remains. She cried out when she rolled her ankle and almost crashed to the ground.

That had hurt.

Relief flooded through her when she saw the precious archway ahead of her. The only thing that felt like a real home to her. Her first home.

Camp Half-Blood.

Once she passed through the barrier she'd be safe. She felt herself pass through the barrier, like a knife cutting through butter, and she fell onto the ground in a heep of panting breath and dripping sweat. She laughed in relief, but it came out as more insane than it did normal. She looked up and flinched when she saw a hand opened up in front of her face. She looked up and smiled.

Luke.

"Hey, Annie." He beamed. Only Luke was allowed to call her that, and it felt like music to her ears. She noticed that colors started to pop up in front of her eyes. Though they were dull and pale. That's funny, she had never noticed her vision was only black and white. Luke helped her up and patted her on the back. He chuckled softly and then all together froze. When Annabeth turned to look at him worried, she gasped and jumped back. He was glaring at her, and holding Backbiter. "C'mon, aren't you tired of our parents turning their backs on us? LET'S GIVE THEM WHAT THEY DESERVE!" He roared and behind her, Annabeth heard monsters roar in agreement, along with many other demigods.

This wasn't right.

She reached out to grab onto Luke, but instead of catching hold of his arm, she felt her hand snatch onto someone elses. In alarm her eyes widened and her pupils dialated. She was about to snatch her hand back when the person laughed. Their laugh was warm, comforting, and ridiculous. Annabeth felt her worries melt away and felt a smile spread across her lips. She looked up and her gray eyes met with bright seagreen.

"Hey there, Wise Girl." A sarcastic smirk, eyes twinkling in a mischievous way.

"Hey, Seaweed Brain." She retorted and bumped hips with the boy. She leaned up to kiss him, but suddenly he was gone.

She searched high and low. Checked everywhere, but he was gone. Gone. Just like that. She sobbed, and grew angry. Why? Why had he left her? She was about to give up when she saw him. Standing there, smiling at her.

That stupid smile.

She ran towards him. Forgetting about all the others around them. He ran towards her too. They hugged, and then Annabeth judoflipped him. She glared down at him, warned him to never disappear like that again, and then they were kissing.

And just like that they were falling.

Falling. Falling forever and ever.

She hugged Percy closer to her and buried her face in his tattered t-shirt. She whispered three special words, but she didn't know if they had fallen on deaf ears or if had heard her. Her world was full of violent bright colors and she was afraid. So very afraid. She could feel sweat pooling in her shirt and sliding down her back and legs. She could feel any hope left in her drift away.

They were just about to crash into the pitso Tartarus when-

"NO!" She sat up so fast she fell out of her bed. Tangled in her covers and banging her head on the floor she screamed. "PERCY! Percy!?" She felt the sobs rack her body and she grabbed her pillow that had fallen beside her head. She hugged it closely and buried her face letting it soak up the tears.

"Annabeth?" She heard one of her half-brothers, Sean, call out in worry. "Annabeth, did you have that nightmare again?" but his worried questions were ignored when Annabeth jumped to her feet.

"Percy," was her only answer to the younger demigod's question. She stumbled out of her cabin and practically ran to the cabin across from the Athena Cabin. "Percy!" She shouted in a whispered voice and burst through the door.

"HUH!?" The boy shot up, hitting his head on the ceiling and fell to the floor. He groaned loudly in pain and jumped to his feet. His hand digging in his pocket for Riptide. He had almost uncapped it when he saw Annabeth standing in the doorway looking at him with a terrified expression.

She had had the nightmare again. The nightmare of all she had been through.

"C'mere," He whispered and opened his arms, letting Riptide clatter onto the ground. It would return to his pocket anyway, it always did. Annabeth ran forward and fell in his arms. She sobbed into his shirt, and Percy felt tears come to his eyes too. It had been terrifying. Walking through Tartarus, trying to find their way out through the Doors of Death. "It's over. It's all over. We're here at camp. We won. Gaea was defeated. Leo and Calypso made it back. I'm here, you're here. We're safe." Percy whispered into her hair, but still she cried.

"I hate it, these nightmares." Annabeth mumbled and Percy couldn't help but chuckle sadly. He hated it too, but sadly being a demigod dreams and nightmares were part of the deal that they never agreed to. She latched onto him tightly, and Percy held her close as well.

He kissed the top of her head, and rubbed the middle of her back. He cupped his hand under her chin, tilting her head back so she could look at him. "Look, I'm right here. I'm not disappearing again." He smirked. He brushed her tears away with his thumb and held her cheek. His heart skipped a beat when she leaned into his touch. He kissed her and made her worries go away. He kissed her and made her feel safe.

He kissed her and made everything perfect.
