Hey Guys, or just iceysage, to answer your question sage (I'm gonna call you that it's too much work to write iceysage) Dylan is based on three guys I know, their all really cute in their own ways. The first is really nice and stands up for people, the second is really funny, and the last is super annoying. So Dylan's going to be cute, funny, nice, protective, and annoying. So almost perfect. I couldn't just make the perfect guy he had to have some flaws. Dylan's are that he's annoying, and not the brightest (excuse the pun, you know son of Apollo, brightest) any way on with the story it's mostly in Annabeths POV.

Dylans POV (didn't expect that did you!)
I was worried for Zoe I knew what was happening to her, and that she didn't want Annabeth to worry but this was getting serious. She didn't even touch her dinner last night and she didn't stay for dessert! And she loves dessert! I had stayed up all night figuring out what to do. What? Zoe defiantly wasn't with me for my brains! Any way I had decided I was going to tell Annabeth. Zoe would hate me but it was in her best interests. She'll understand later. I hope. So that morning I did everything normally. But when the Athena came in to the arena to spar as we (the Apollo cabin) I grabbed her arm and pulled her with me.
"Dylan I'm not Zoe!" She cried I ignored her and left the line and dragged her into the forest and pulled her in front of me.
"Um Dylan if your going to cheat on Zoe you should..." I interrupted her with my laughter
"Cheat on Zoe! Why would I cheat on the most perfect girl ever?" I said as
I caught my breath, Annabeth let out a visible sigh of relief.
"So if you didn't drag me away from the arena to cheat on Zoe what's up?"
"I'm going to tell you what's wrong with Zoe" I stated, her eyes widened and she nodded motioning for me to start.
Annabeths POV
"Zoe started having nightmares. She didn't tell us what they were about just that they included you and Percy. One night she woke up screaming about Hecate. I eventually got her to go back to sleep but that morning at breakfast she only ate the fruit salad on her plate. I didn't think anything of it because ya know nightmares do that to people. I told myself that she would eat at lunch, but she didn't. So I told my self dinner, again she only are the fruit or vegetables on her plate. I thought that the dream she had had was really awful and scarring and it was just not in the way I expected. Anyway so that night I slept with her" I opened my mouth "not like that just in the same bed. It seemed to help. She slept longer than usual. But like usual she woke up screaming. This time about bob? Anyway she told me what her dreams had been about. And I understood why she had been so upset and why she wasn't eating. She had been dreaming about Tartarus." I shivered. "About everything that had happened to you and Percy. I thought that telling me would help that she's start eating again. But it only got worse. Finally there was a period of time where Zoe didn't eat for three days and with all the training at camp she lost about 15 kilos. So I took her to Chiron. He asked her tons of questions and eventually confirmed what she had developed. Zoe has anorexia. Annabeth she slowly starving her self." My worst fears. Zoe was dying because of me. Because of what I went through? Zoe was with me? She went through it as well? My baby sister. I put my head in my hands.
"Holy Athena" I moaned
"I know, I thought that you coming back might help. But it only seemed to make it worse. Did you notice Zoe didn't eat anything tonight?" I nodded "well before that she had been eating bigger amounts, she was getting better"
"And then I messed it up" I whispered
"No! Of course not! I think that seeing you reminded her. Did anything happen in there that might make Zoe feel uncomfortable about her appearance?" I shook my head thinking, nothing came to mind. I thought about the dreams he had told me about. Hecate. Empousai. Kelli. Kelli! I nodded
"Yes something might have happened." I said slowly, Dylan's head which had been in his hands snapped up.
"What?!" He grabbed my shoulders and shook me "what?!"
"An empousai, servants of Hecate. We meet a few down in the pit. Their all stunningly beautiful. There main goal in life is to suck the blood of men. Zoe must have seen them before the mist could disappear and we could see there true form. That's must be it." I finished.
"So Zoe. Strong beautiful confident Zoe got a eating disorder because of a she devil?" He asked, I nodded.
"Dylan how much of Zoe's past do you know?" I asked
"Just that she was adopted and raised in New Zealand. What about you?" He answered
"About the same, but that her friends Mai and Izzy were sent there to protect her."
"So for all we know this has happened before?" Dylan whispered, again I nodded I seemed to be doing a lot of that.
"What are we going to do?" He put his head back in his hands
"I don't know, give me a couple days though, Athena always has a plan." And with that I left the poor boy sitting in the middle of the forest. I went back to the arena where my cabin was waiting and by waiting I mean training and not caring that I had disappeared expect Zoe has soon as I walked in she stopped sparring, ducked under her partners weapon and flipped him before running up to me. Now that I knew what was wrong I could see that she was thinner. I thought back to when the Argo || had docked and I had seen something was different it I couldn't place it. When she hugged me, were her arms as strong as I thought? Or was that just my memory?
"Annie what did Dylan want?" She asked as I snapped out of my daze.
"Oh nothing" I wave it off, a flash of worry goes across her face but she must trust Dylan a lot because it disappears almost as quickly as it arrived.
"Ok come on let's spar"
"Actually Dylan wanted to talk to you" I lied
"Oh um..."
"Go" I advised gently, she flashed me a beaming smile and skipped out.
"Malcolm, do you know about Zoe?" I asked, he shook his head
"No, all I know is that she's been having nightmares"
"Get everyone and meet me at the cabin"
Zoe's POV
As soon I left the arena I realised I didn't know where Dylan was. I didn't want to go back. I didn't have to because Dylan walked out of the forest.
"Dylan!" I yelled waving my arms, he looked over and avoided me. What? I jogged over so I was walking next to him.
"Hey" I said as I linked our fingers, he shook my hand off.
"Dylan, baby what's wrong?" I whispered
"How could you not tell me?" He said in a cracked voice before he ran off leaving me standing at the mouth of the forest. I ran after him
"Dylan!" I cried
"I can't do this anymore Zoe, I'm sorry." Did I just get dumped?
Ooh. Poor Zoe. Told you Dylan wasn't the smartest person. I think I've made him dumber than Percy. Percy wouldn't dump Annabeth. Oh well on to news in changing my name from BunnyBo to one of these three. Tell me in the reviews which one you think I should have.
