A couple POV shifts here, so just watch for those, and ENJOY

Alexia

The walls were closing in, I swear to god. They were going to crush me, and I couldn't even see them, but then came the light, and all my fears melted away. In walked Percy, holding a flashlight in one hand and a lantern in the other. He looked even more like a hero from those ancient Greek myths than usual, with that strong muscular build and the windswept hair. He was godly, and with his personality, he was almost perfect. There was just one thing wrong with him. He had no taste in girls.

After everybody got a flashlight, we all sat down, but this time the seating arrangement changed. Kayla jumped to the recliner and Charlie sat on the coffee table. This forced Percy and Annabeth to sit on the three seater, and since Percy sat in the middle, I jumped to sit next to him. I spent the next few minutes trying to snuggle up close to him, but he kept shying away from me. It was infuriating. Just then Annabeth's phone rang and she left the room. This was my chance. Then the power came back on.

I scooted closer to Percy, but he still moved away. I attempted one more time, but he still scooted away. Then Annabeth came back, and after seeing that Percy had moved to her seat, and I had moved into Percy's, she sat on his lap, and Percy pulled her closer. I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks. I stood up and stated "I'm leaving."

"No you aren't." Annabeth said. I got angry. Who did she think she was?

"And why not?" I asked angrily.

"Because the storm has blocked off all the roads, so it would be idiotic, and downright suicidal for you to go out by yourself. It looks like you guys are going to be staying the night." She said. This was perfect. I would be spending the night in the same place as Percy. Maybe something could happen.

"We should probably call our parents." I said, then we all took out our phones and told our parents about the surprise sleepover, but I noticed that Annabeth never called hers.

"So what are the sleeping arrangements?" I asked.

Annabeth

"So what are the sleeping arrangements?" Alexia asked. This crazy redhead probably wanted to sneak in and sleep with Percy I thought bitterly.

"Well the guys can sleep in Percy's room, and we girls can sleep in-" I said, before Percy interrupted me.

"No way, No I won't accept. I don't care if they are here." He said defiantly.

Everyone stared at him like he was crazy. "Percy come on, it will only be for one night, and it will be okay." I said, placing my hand on his chest. He held it there.

"No, please Annabeth, don't do this." He begged.

"Shush now, it will only be for one day. Think of it as a test. For me?" I asked. Then just for a little bit of extra persuasive power, I brushed my hand lightly on Percy's back, the spot where his Achilles heel was. He immediately shuddered and groaned, losing his resolve to resist. I loved that even though he lost his Achilles spot it was still sensitive enough, so he got pleasure when I touched it.

"I hate tests." He said, "But, for you, fine. One night!"

"Good." I said smiling. On the inside I was sad. One night of torture.

"What are you guys talking about, and why didn't Annabeth call her parents yet, and why did Percy just shudder like crazy?" Alexia asked, obviously jealous.

"Why Percy shuddered is a secret, and none of your business. As to why I never called my parents, well I kind of live in San Francisco, and when I moved to New York, I moved in with Percy, so they know I am saying at Percy's, and what we are talking about is the reason I moved to Goode in the first place." I said. After a pause, I looked at Percy and he just nodded, signaling me to carry on. "Well Percy and I sleep together every night." I explained. All of our friend's jaws hit the ground.

"Oh, we don't do anything, we just sleep, because we are both haunted by nightmares. When we sleep together, we don't have them." Percy clarified.

"Sure Perce." Dustin said smirking.

"It will be fine Percy, one night." I repeated soothingly.

"Okay, but if you have a nightmare just call out. I will be right next door. Okay then, what do you guys want to do now?" Percy asked.

"Let's get some ice cream or something, I have craving it for a while now." I suggested. Believe me I had no intention of getting ice cream. Percy agreed immediately though.

"I think we have some in the freezer." Percy said.

"Percy where is your bathroom." Alexia asked.

"Down the hall." Percy responded.

Alexia

I went to the restroom, and was about to go back to the living room when I heard a voice. I stopped in front of the kitchen.

"I love you Perce." I recognized this as Annabeth's voice

"Love you too Wise girl." I heard Percy reply, and when I looked, I saw Percy trapping Annabeth with his hands on the counter, and Annabeth was sitting there, and they were hugging. It was such an intimate and personal scene that I couldn't take it anymore. I sat down sliding against the wall, crying, letting all of my bitterness and sadness out of me. After I was done, about a minute later, I went into the bathroom, fixed my make up and walked out confidently. Filled with the resolve to get the person I loved to notice me. When I walked back past the kitchen, I coughed and they both broke up blushing.

"How's that ice cream coming along?" I asked.

"Well we couldn't find any ice cream, but we did find cookies, and we were just waiting for them to heat up in the microwave." Percy said, and then as if on cue, the microwave beeped, and Percy pulled out the steaming hot tray with his bare hands. Gods, he is so amazing. Then with the tray in one hand and Annabeth on the other, they went into the kitchen and I followed. When they got there, they put the tray on the table, and everyone jumped to get some of the blue cookies.

"Percy did you bake these?" Kayla asked

Annabeth started laughing. She is so mean, why does Percy like her. "No, the last time I tried, I kind of set the oven on fire. I have pretty much been banned from baking. My mom baked these." Percy explained. So maybe Annabeth wasn't as mean as I thought, but she still wasn't nice.

"But why are they blue?" Kayla asked, perplexed by the color.

"Oh, I had a horrible step-father, and he said food can't be blue, so my mom started cooking blue food, just to prove him wrong. I guess the habit just stuck." Percy said.

"Oh, so where is this horrible step-father now?" Kayla asked quietly.

"He disappeared in the summer of sixth to seventh grade. He was never seen after that." Percy said.

"Oh, okay then, it is 10 o'clock guys. I am tired as heck. I was up all night yesterday. Let's go sleep?" Brittany suggested, and we all agreed and went to our respective sleeping places. Us girls in Annabeth's room, and the guy's in Percy's room. I was hoping I would get to talk to Annabeth a little, you know get under her skin but as soon as everybody got in their respective sleeping places she fell asleep, or she was pretending. Either way she did not talk.

Charlie

Gods Annabeth was beautiful. All right let me back up a bit. I used to be a good guy okay? But after you love someone the way I did, and have your heart broken like I did, you give up on having personal relationships, and you just go for physical relationships. Saves you the heartache. And let me tell you, Annabeth had the best body in the entire school. Plus she was smart, beautiful and nice. The total package. Even I wouldn't mind settling down if I got her.

Anyway, we started walking back towards and the girls were walking towards their room and I couldn't help but let my gaze trace Annabeth's figure. It was just too perfect. She had that whole athletic type thing going for her. Then we reached Percy's room, and I was forced to look away. We all got ready for bed, and then I fell asleep almost immediately.

I dreamt I was sitting at my desk at home, and then Annabeth walked into the room wearing jeans, and a button up shirt. She kissed me good and long. Then she sat on my lap and I moved my hand to rest on her cheek. She had jsut slid her hand up my shirt suddenly I was kicked in the side.

"What the?" I asked, then I was kicked again, and I was snapped out of that wonderful dream to see the angry face of Percy Jackson. My supposed best friend. I looked at him and saw his eyes were glassy.

"Where is she?" Percy asked angrily. "What have you done to Annabeth?"

"What do you mean?" I asked groggily. The next thing I knew, I got kicked and my head was sent reeling back. I could feel a bruise forming next to my eye. Then Percy went over and picked Dustin up. Not an easy ask, believe me. Dustin was built like a linebacker. Then Percy held Dustin against the wall.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?" He asked Dustin angrily this time. "I am only going to ask you this one last time. WHERE IS SHE!" he asked.

Just then the door burst open, and in ran Annabeth. Looking as amazing as ever, wearing baggy black sweatpants, and a gray hoody that said Goode Swimming on it in blue letters.. She looked even more amazing than usual. Then she walked over to Percy with tears in her eyes. "Percy." She said, then she touched his arm but then he slapped her across the face.

"You're a demon, get away from me. You aren't her. WHERE IS SHE?" He asked again angry.

"Percy, it's me, please." She said, approaching him again, and this time he let her pull his hand down, and then she leaned in and kissed him. After what seemed like an eternity, Percy moved his hand towards her face, and they broke apart.

"Annabeth? What's going on? Why are you crying?" He asked, like he had done nothing wrong.

"You hit her you jerk." I said angrily.

"What, I would never." He said appalled.

"Percy, he is telling the truth, but it is okay. You thought I was a demon trying to kill you, and the way I see it we are even now. Don't worry, I am fine, I am a bit more worried about you." She said. She was too nice. She deserved better than Percy. She deserved me. Then I thought how I treated girls. Did I deserve her? Of course I did, any girl would be lucky to have me.

"You kind of kicked me, and gave me a probable black eye, and you were choking Dustin, what's wrong with you. You are a mean, heartless, selfish jerk." I said angrily. Annabeth stormed over to me.

"Say another bad thing about Percy. I dare you." She said, her voice dangerously mad.

"What, he slapped you, he kicked me, and he was choking Dustin. How can you even have feelings for him? He is just a jerk. What's wrong with you?" I said.

"Do you even hear yourself? Percy a jerk? Percy is heartless and mean and selfish? What is wrong with me? DO YOU EVEN HEAR YOURSELF? MAYBE IF YOU EVEN KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT WHO WE ACTUALLY ARE YOU WOULDN'T BE SO QUICK TO JUDGE. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGHT THE PAST 5 YEARS? How could you?" She asked, her voice cracking and she turned and ran back to Percy and he wrapped his hands around her in warm embrace.

"Annabeth, this is what I was telling you about, the sleep walking. I'm just glad I didn't take out my pen." Percy said sadly.

"Hey we will figure it out, it's okay. Don't worry." Annabeth said.

Was he blackmailing her to get her to sleep with him? "Wait, how did you guys get here, did I make a lot of noise?" Percy asked the girls.

"No, you didn't make much noise at all. Annabeth just sat up in the middle of the night saying your name and she ran over here. We just followed." Kayla explained.

"Percy, we were back there, at the end, but this time it left without us. We were stuck there. I was so scared." She said, then she hugged Percy tighter. "Please, never leave me again."

"I am never leaving you alone again, I promise. Please don't be sad." He said. Maybe he wasn't blackmailing her, but still something had happened between the two of them. Just then they turned towards us.

"Why don't you guys go back to sleep. I'll stay over here." Annabeth said to all the girls. Kayla and Brittany nodded and left, but Alexia lingered a bit longer. I could tell this was killing her. Nevertheless, she turned and left. Then Annabeth crawled under the covers, and Percy joined her. Ignoring the pain in my face, and sound of Percy and Annabeth whispering, I finally fell asleep.

I awoke the next morning feeling like face was on fire. I got up, and ran to the sink past everybody awake sitting in the kitchen, turned on the cold water, and splashed it on my face. I turned around and everybody was trying their hardest not to laugh.

"What!" I asked angrily.

"Why don't you go find out?" Percy said, and pointed towards a mirror. I ran towards it, and on my face there was a bruise underneath my eye. I turned angrily towards Percy.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT! YOU AND YOUR STUPID SLEEPWALKING. WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT ABOUT ANYWAYS?" I screamed at Percy.

"I'm sorry. I had a nightmare that some people had kidnapped Annabeth and me, and you guys were the prison guards. That was why I started beating you guys up. I needed to find her." Percy said holding Annabeth's hand and smiling sadly. "This is why we have been sleeping together. To avoid stuff like this happening."

"It's okay Perce, we understand." Dustin said forgivingly. I however was not so fast to forgive.

"Whatever, so do you still have that toothbrush I left here?" I asked Percy.

"Yeah, here you go, you can use the toothpaste that is already over there." Percy said, handing me a toothbrush.

"Thanks." I said, then I made my way to the bathroom.

All right, that was interesting how that chapter turned out.

Things that we learned:

Alexia still wants to break up Percabeth

Annabeth and Percy still have nightmares when they aren't together

Charlie is an ass

But yeah, that's about it, this chapter was just a bit of a filler. My dad plans on taking away my laptop on the 17 of Jan to make me study for the next set of exams :( And I won't have it back for quite some time after that so if i don't update for a while now you know why.

Favorite and follow if you haven't already, and let me know how you feel about this chapter or the story as a whole with a review :D Peace
