When Annabeth woke up, her arm was stinging like crazy and her back felt like it had been hit by a Pegasus at full speed. She realized this was because she was partly hanging in between the two beds, which had somehow slid apart during the night. She looked over and saw Percy was still sleeping and she hoped he wasn't drooling.
She let out a groan as she forced herself up, her whole body aching. Well that's the last time I sleep in between two beds, she decided. She quickly grabbed her knife from where it was sitting on the nightstand and strapped it to her arm. There was light streaming through the curtains and it hurt her tired eyes. Percy groaned in his sleep. Annabeth decided it was time for him to wake up, so she whipped the curtains open, sunlight invading the whole room. Percy groaned again and his eyelids fluttered. Annabeth went back over to the bed, and sat on top of him, her knees straddling either side of his legs. She leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "Wake up."
His eyes popped open and suddenly he was fully awake. His hands found her hips and clamped on to them. In one motion, he flipped over, so now he was on top and Annabeth was lying underneath. Annabeth noticed his eyes looked strange, a bit flustered and upset, maybe protective too, before she couldn't see his eyes anymore as he smashed his lips to hers. As they kissed, Annabeth observed that he was also more demanding than usual, almost rough. His tongue forced its way into her mouth, his hands were everywhere. She was so taken-aback by his behaviour that she just laid still, wondering why he was so upset.
Finally, he pulled back, and his eyes were darker than their normal green. She tried to keep the mood light, even though his obviously wasn't.
"Well, good morning to you too." She laughed. He didn't even flash his typical grin. His hands were clamped again on her hips and he was staring at her as if afraid she was going to disappear any second.
"Is something wrong, Percy?" She asked as gently as she could. She reached up and ran her fingers through his hair soothingly.
He sighed and rolled over to the other side of the bed, releasing his grip on her. "Just... a bad dream." He said. He got up and started getting changed, so Annabeth grabbed some clothes and went to change in the bathroom. When she came out, Percy was dressed. He grinned at her but it seemed like his mind was still somewhere else. He took her hand as they knocked on the adjoining door, they didn't need any more TMI moments from that door. They heard a lock click and the door yanked open, Silena Beauregard's smiling face on the other side.
"Hey, guys! How'd you sleep?" She asked, pulling them into the room. Annabeth noticed that the room was completely clean, obviously. Silena was a total neat freak.
Annabeth glanced at Percy, who was avoiding eye contact, seemingly deliberately evading the question. "Um... good." She replied. She wasn't sure what kind of dream had made Percy act so weird, it's not like he wasn't used to having freaky dreams.
Beckendorf came out of the bathroom then, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. Annabeth almost laughed at the way Silena was looking over his buff metal working muscles. They were the funniest couple ever, so opposite and yet they went so well together.
"Hey guys, ready to get back on the road?" Beckendorf asked. He slid on a shirt, and Annabeth could swear she saw Silena pout.
"Sure, let's get going." Percy replied, leading the group out into the hallway. He didn't say a word to Annabeth as they checked out of the hotel, just kept a tight grip on her hand all the way to the car. Everybody took up their former seat in the car, Silena and Beckendorf up front, Percy and Annabeth in the back. They drove for a few blissful minutes until, of course, Silena's face peered around the passenger seat. Her cheeks were flushed pink, as always.
"What should we do now? Make bracelets, braid hair, makeover? There are so many options!" She squealed. "I love road trips!"
Annabeth glanced over at Percy, who was staring out the window bleakly, his hand still wrapped tightly around hers.
"Yeah... It's gonna be a blast."
