Percy (pov)

I was falling. Falling into the endless pit. The only hope I had was Annabeth clinging on to me. I knew that without her I would not survive. Then I did the worst thing I could do.

I let go.

I saw her falling endlessly into the darkness. Her eyes looking into mine as she fell.

My eyes opened and I was back in my apartment. I sat up and looked at my hands. They were shaking.

The door slowly opened and I saw Annabeth standing in the doorway.

"can I come in?" she whispered quietly. She had tear tracks down her face and her face was blotched from crying.

I gestured for her to come over and she sat next to me. She buried her head into my chest and cried. I rubbed circles on her back until she calmed down.

"nightmares?" I asked her.

She nodded and wiped her eyes.

"Its okay. Im here now." I comforted her gently.

"do you get them too?" she asked.

"every night."

We sat there in silence just feeling each other in our arms. Eventually we fell asleep together without the horrors that the night usually brings to us.

I woke up with the light streaming down onto my face and I felt Annabeth in my arms. My chest was against her back and my arms were around her thin waist. The sunlight reflected off her hair, making it look gold. She opened her eyes and rolled over to look at me.

"good morning," she said sleepily.

I groaned and got up stretching my arms and then landing them round Annabeth's shoulders.

"good morning beautiful." She smiled and I brushed a stray curl away from her soft face.

"I think I should probably go back to my room as sally will probably be a bit annoyed that I slept with my absolutely amazing boyfriend."

I pouted and did my best puppy eyes. She leaned over to kiss me and walked out to get a shower. I got out of bed, got changed and then walked out to get breakfast.

As I walked out into the kitchen, the scent of pancakes hit me. My mom was making her classic blue pancake recipe and was dishing them out onto the plate.

"Mmm…." I drooled at the sight of them. Mom laughed and she gave me a plate. Annabeth walked out of her room with slightly damp hair and she was given a plate too.

"thankyou." Annabeth said and sat down at the table with me.

After we ate our delicious breakfast, we got our bags together and drove to school.

Annabeth (POV)

Me and Percy pulled up in the parking lot and we walked into school together. I saw Natasha give me a nasty look and percy gripped tighter on my hand.

After homeroom, we had Greek mythology. I also took Greek but that was just because I was already fluent in it- so was percy but he took swimming instead. We got to our class and I was greeted by a woman in her mid-fifties.

"hello class, I am mrs Dorchester and I will be your teacher this year." She talked to the class with lots of energy and her eyes landed on me. "you must be new here. Welcome. I like to give my new students a pop quiz to see how much they know." She handed me a sheet of paper with 100 questions on it. This is going to be easy. "the only person to get 100% is Percy here so good luck!"

She left me to do my quiz and I finished within 5 minutes. "done."

"gosh. that was quick." She looked over my sheet and marked it with a red pen. "wow! Full marks. I guess that means you and Percy will have to battle to see who knows best."

This is an odd lesson I thought

"right then. Percy, who was first to ride the Pegasus?"

"bellerophone." I answered instantly. She nooded to show I was correct.

"Annabeth, who killed achilles?"

"paris." She answered straight away.

She carried on asking questions until she ran out of ideas and gave up. "well, this was an interesting lesson." I said.
