Annabeth's PoV:

I had my fair share of nightmares. Most of them were demigod dreams. Many were spiders. However, this nightmare took things to a whole new level.

When my mind finally settled for a dream, I was situated inside a cabin. For some reason, it looked vaguely familiar: a horn dangled on a grey wall that seemed pulled from the ocean floor, and a gurgle of water. However, the person on the bed, sleeping contentedly, with his dark hair, told me I was inside the Poseidon cabin.

I had no idea why I was here. Maybe Morpheus was bored? However, it was the exact opposite, as at the exact moment, the air shimmered, similar to water, and a person appeared.

The mysterious person, standing by my boyfriend's bed, was dressed in a dark robe. There were patterns, shapes and words, spiralling around the cloth as if they were alive-which they probably were. Just studying the patterns made me drowsy, but I finally realized who it was when he took of his hood to reveal a handsome face, etched with scars. Morpheus.

I wondered why he was standing inside my boyfriend's cabin. He snapped his fingers, and it echoed through the low cabin. As I watched, ropes sprang out of the bed, tying them around Percy's limbs. I tried to move, but I realized with a start that I was immobilized, as if an invisible force was gripping me to the floor.

I watched, horrified, as Percy woke drowsily. He stared at the ropes, uncomprehendingly, until he noticed Morpheus. As soon as he tried to scream for assistance, duct tape locked his lips with Morpheus's snap of fingers. Percy seemed petrified, but anyone would be scared out of their minds if they woke to see themselves tied up like a hostage.

The god whispered some words to himself, but with my enhanced hearing I managed to listen.

"I have no idea why my son wants to curse you, but I'm only going to give you pleasant dreams. And nightmares. For the rest of your life. This might sting."

A mixture of emotions bubbled up inside me. Anger, fear, worry, panic. Morpheus placed his hand onto Percy's temple and started muttering. It was evident that he was in pain. Percy thrashed against the bonds, but they were too strong.

Adrenaline coursed through my veins-even in my dream. I started forward, and screamed out his name.

I watched as Percy saw me, and his sea green eyes were filled with pain and fear, the same fear like a deer caught in a flashlight. Something that I had never seen before.

Suddenly, his eyes rolled up into his head and Percy stopped struggling. Morpheus wiped a droplet of sweat off his forehead, and removed the ropes and duct tape with a flick of his hand. With a flash, the god disappeared.

Still in my dream, I cried. It was torture-my boyfriend, trapped in dreams forever. I tried removing the scene of the magic from my mind, but I couldn't. It stuck in my brain, as if they were magnets.

I heard the door open. Barely lifting my head, I noticed William, the arrogant son of Morpheus. He shook Percy's shoulders. Why he was here, I didn't know. Maybe he had a dream?

The slight hope I had left turned to anger as I saw him grin. I recalled Morpheus talking to himself-

"I have no idea why my son wants to curse you."

I was ready to torture William. But I knew I won't have permission-until I earn proof.

"Chiron!"

I pounded on the heavy oak door to Chiron's quarters in the big house, ignoring the glances from all the other campers. The door swung open.

"Okay, no need to poun-"he said until I interrupted him.

"Percy can't wake. He got cursed-by Morpheus, as a request of one of his sons." I said the last word with as much venom as I could muster in my voice as I scanned the crowd that watched us with confusion. I noticed William, and my mind filled with rage.

"How do you know this?" Chiron asked me furiously. I knew that Percy was one of his favourite students, so I quickly explained.

"-So basically, William, the idiotic son of Morpheus, decided to curse Percy in eternal nightmares forever- just to satisfy a tiny grudge." I concluded.

Everyone glared daggers at William, who looked cheerful as if he had saved the camp. As soon as he glanced at me, I felt like destroying his essences and chucking his body for Peleus to dine on. I took satisfaction noticing him flinch under my poisonous glare.

"William." Chiron said, his voice as cold as steel. I knew how angry he was. The voice made William flinch again, which I took pleasure in watching.

"You're no longer the cabin counsellor. Nico, Annabeth, Iris message Thalia. You're going to go on a quest to save Percy."
