So this is just something that came to me a while ago. I think they are a bit OOC In the dust part, so yeah...
Enjoy, review, and I'm not Rick.
It was 1 AM and Percy was wide awake. He had been lying in his bed in Cabin Three for the past 5 hours, scared to close his eyes and let the nightmares take over. He had thought about going to Annabeth, but he didn't think she would appreciate being woken up in the middle of the night. So he just lay there.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
"Percy, are you awake?" said a soft voice, Annabeth's, through the door.
"Yeah, I'm awake," said Percy, sitting up in bed, glad to have someone to talk to, instead of lying in bed with nothing to do but think.
"Can I come in?" came the reply.
"Of course."
Annabeth walked in, still in her pajamas. "I'm guessing you couldn't sleep either?" she said, before sitting down beside Percy on his bed.
"It's the nightmares," he answered. "They come every night, and I'm scared to close my eyes, because every time I do, all I see is that place."
"I know what you mean," said Annabeth. "And... well I thought that... maybe... Maybe if we slept together they wouldn't be so bad. Seeing as we experienced it together, that is."
This suggestion surprised Percy. "But what about all the rules! Chiron and Mr D would kill us if they found out!"
"Well, I'm already here, aren't I?" she replied. "Besides, there's no other way we're going to get any sleep, is there?"
"I never thought I'd see the day when Annabeth Chase suggested breaking the rules," said Percy, lifting up the covers for Annabeth.
"Shut up, Seaweed Brain."
"Good night, Wise Girl. I hope it is a good night."
The next day
There was quite a commotion in Cabin Six when Malcolm woke up to find Annabeth gone. The whole cabin was panicking, which was quite rare for children of Athena.
At first, they thought she might have gone on an early morning walk, but when she wasn't back five minutes before breakfast, they started to worry.
When she didn't turn up for breakfast at all, they told Chiron. After that the whole camp started worrying. Campers were sent into the forest to search for her, while everyone else sat around worrying.
Suddenly, Grover jumped up. He had been called upon to help search the forest, but he was fretting to much to be of any use.
"Where's Percy?" he said. "He should be the most worried of all of us?"
"Come with me, Grover," replied Chiron, who was pacing nearby. "We'll check his cabin. He proboly just slept in."
"Ok."
So Chiron and Grover walked in silence towards Percy's cabin. When they arrived, Chiron knocked on the door. Receiving no answer, he slowly turned the handle and opened the door. Then Grover, who was standing behind him, let out a gasp.
Percy was lying in his bed with his arms wrapped securely around Annabeth, who was cuddled up to him.
Chiron was the first to speak.
"What, exactly, do you two think you are doing?" he said sternly, waking them up.
"Uh, I was just... We.." Percy stuttered, blushing profusely. "Annabeth?"
Annabeth, who was blushing just as much, came to his rescue.
"Um, I couldn't sleep?"
I hope you enjoyed it, review, please. Feedback is definitely accepted. Also, yes I did change the description, in case you wondering.
