Annabeth

After the war with Gae, Percy brought her back home with him. Mrs. Jackson and Annabeth had grown close over a period of eight months that Percy had been missing. She came over every weekend that she could to update her. She had often gone into Percy's room and sat on his bed and cried. She even stole his hoodies which were far too big for her, but it made her feel better. They smelled like salt water and ocean breeze. And they never seemed to lose their smell.

Sally was over delighted to see her son after so long. She held his face in hands and kept kissing him, tears streaming down her face. Even his step-father Paul was delighted to see him. Annabeth stood in the corner of the room watching Percy being smothered by his parents. It made her feel a little twinge of jealousy that his parents cared for him so much. She knew her father loved her, but he didn't bother showing it.

It took her awhile but Sally finally noticed Annabeth.

"Oh Percy! You brought Annabeth"

Sally grabbed her and pulled her into a giant family hug.

"You two must be starving!"

She raced off into the kitchen with Paul at her heels. Percy laughed.

"Thats my mom for you"

"She's great"

Percy led her into his bedroom and they threw themselves carelessly on the bed. Annabeth wiggled her way closer to Percy and her head on his chest. She listened to the steady beat of his heart, and slowly her eyes drooped shut.

After her and Percy had been to Tarturus her dreams had gotten worse.

This one was different though. She found herself standing at a train station. All around her familys' boarded and waved goodbye to their loved ones as the train left the station. She looked to her left and nearly jumped out of her skin. There was a man in a white robe with a long white beard. And the strangest thing about him was his hat, which looked like a sleeping cap.

He stared off at the people who swarmed the train station.

"You must find the lost sword and return it to its rightful place"

He continued to look off at nowhere.

"You will have help from three, I will see you soon Annabeth Chase"

He looked at her, his eyes glowed gold. That brought back horrible memories of when Percy had been possessed by an eldion.

She woke up, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. Percy was still peacefully entranced in his slumber. There was a soft knock on the door and Sally poked her head in.

Her lips curled at the sight of Percy sleeping peacefully.

Annabeth carefully slipped off the bed and followed Sally into the kitchen. The clock read 11:06. Had they really slept that long? It had only been five when they arrived.

She kept thinking about that odd dream she had, you must find the lost sword and return it to its rightful place, you will have help from three.

Next thing she knew it was 11:30. Her face went pale when she looked at the clock. It had been 11:06 only a few seconds ago, althought it could have just been her imagination, but she didn't think so.

"Annabeth dear, why don't you go off to bed, you can sleep in the guest bedroom"

She nodded.

Sally lead her to her room and gave her a few blankets for the bed.

It seemed only like two minutes but for two hours Annabeth stared up at the ceiling. She let out a big huff and sat up. All of the sudden she heard a scream. Percy.

She flew off her blankets and ranv across the hall to where Percy's room was. Paul stood in the doorway, and Sally slowly inched her way to Percy. His face was streaked with tears and sweat rolled down his face. He was holding Riptide and muttering something under his breath that she didn't quite catch.

She slipped pass pall and walked to Percy.

She carefully lowered his sword.

"Percy"

They locked eyes, another tear slipped down his face. She leaned in and kissed him gently on the forehead.

Percy rapped his arms around her waste and lied his head on her chest wall she gently ran her fingers through his hair.

Sally and Paul were amazed at how easily she was able to calm him down, it usily took them far longer to on these kind of nights.

Annabeth sat on Percy's bed and he lied his head in her lap.
