Two weeks, that was how long Annabeth and Percy had been back at Camp. It had been two weeks since they escaped Tartarus. They were both still on guard, and had trouble trusting anyone but each other. Even Grover and Thalia, their best friends, were being shut out. Many nights had been spent in the Poseidon Cabin, with Percy holding Annabeth as she cried, the memories overcoming her. Many nights Percy would be shaking, trying to rid his mind of the horrors he had witnessed.

Today, the couple was taking a walk on the beach, completely unaware of what was about to happen. The Stoll twins, Travis and Conor, had planned a little welcome back prank. Percy and Annabeth hadn't told anyone about what had happened, so the boys didn't know what they were getting themselves into. Travis crept up behind Percy and Conor behind Annabeth. Conor counted to three on his fingers, and then both twins grabbed Percy and Annabeth from behind.

The reaction was immediate. Percy and Annabeth broke the grip on their waists, and drew their weapons. They set themselves in a fighting stance, with a wild look in their eyes, like they truly thought their lives were in danger. Travis and Conor jumped in front of them.

"Guys! Guys! It's okay, it was just us." Conor said, surprised that a simple prank had had this effect.

Annabeth threw her dagger into the sand, and turned into Percy's chest. From the way her back was heaving, she appeared to be crying. Percy wrapped her in his arms and sank into the sand. He glared at the boys. His look clearly said, "I will deal with you later." The boys ran off, figuring they didn't want to deal with an angry Percy.

Percy turned his attention back to his girlfriend. She was shaking, and although he would deny it later, he was too, just a little.

"When, when they grabbed me, I thought I was back in that hell hole for a second, I started remembering every fight, every time I thought I was going to die..." She started crying again, and Percy held her tight. The flashbacks could be brutal, they both experienced them. Whether it was night or day, they were both just as terrifying.

Annabeth calmed down a little bit, enough to talk again.

"Are we going to have to tell everyone what happened?" She asked.

"Eventually, but not right now. We will tell them when we are ready." Percy replied. They both knew they weren't ready to face everyone's questions. They were far from okay, by any stretch of the imagination. But they would be okay eventually, as long as they had each other.

Hope you liked it! I know it was short, but I thought it was cute. Please review! Thanks!
