VIII- A Hope For Dreamless Sleep

So we drove towards the hotel. Talking and laughing on the way there. I drove up to the space in front of the hotel and shut the engine off. We both got out of the car and I gave the keys to the doorman which took the car which I guess was a joyride then into a parking space.

We went up to the lobby and then to the elevator. We both got in and I pressed the button for the penthouse.

"Tired yet?" I asked Annabeth casually.

"Not really" She answered playfully.

Then the elevator opened and we went inside still fascinated by the beautiful room.

"What do you wanna do now?" I asked Annabeth starting to get bored.

"How about...TAG!" She pressed her fingers at my shoulder and went running towards the opposite side of the room.

"A daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom and war-strategy wants to play a silly game of tag huh?" I said chuckling

"As if you're gonna get me seaweed brain!" She yelled from the other room

"Let's just see about that wise girl" I said running after her.

She was fast, but I was faster, after a few tries I got her pinned to the ground by her arms me on top of her.

"You're trapped and I win" I told her playfully

"Really?" She asked. Her head closing onto mine leaning in for a kiss, I closed my eyes as her face was an inch from mine I felt a sudden jerk and I was now on the ground and pinned down on my arms, Annabeth now, on top of me.

"You're trapped and I win" She said repeating my tone.

"Yes you win, wise girl" I said as I leaned in and gave her a real kiss.

She blushed

"I don't know about you but I'm pretty tired" She said scratching her eyes

"Well, lets get ready for bed then" I said winking at her

So we got ready and put on our pajamas. I laughed hilariously at her owl print pajamas

"Your owls look good on you" I said in-between laughter

"Would you even look at your pajamas Percy? Tiny little fishes? Owls eat fishes." She said chuckling

"Whatever" I said in defeat but she still laughed at me for a good five minutes.

"Are we really going to sleep in the same room Percy?" She asked blushing, a little.

"Well that's what Jake told us. And we gotta follow Jake right? I said in a childish manner

"Well of course! It's Jake we're talking about" She said sarcastically.

So we went inside the room which is pretty spacious and Jake was right. There were two beds although they're only a few feet apart.

Annabeth hopped into the first bed I went up to her

"Good night wise girl" I said kissing her forehead.

"Good night seaweed brain" she said pulling me into a hug.

Then it was lights out. I didn't know how exhausted I was but the last thing I knew I was dreaming

I was in a beautiful place, filled with luscious gardens and grasses greener than the grasses on Mt. Olympus. I only thought of one name for this place "Elysium" was all I said. Everything was perfect, perfect weather perfect landscape, perfect everything.

But at that moment I knew something was missing. Something I cannot live without. Something that achieving Elysium would mean nothing if it wasn't here with me, it wasn't something. It was someone, it was Annabeth.

"Annabeth?" I screamed at the top of my lungs to the open space in front of me. "Percy" a reply came back. "Annabeth!" I said still screaming "Percy!" said a voice.

"ANNABETH!" I shouted sitting up from my bed. I realized that it was just a dream. I looked to my right, finding Annabeth sleeping. But she was agitated; she was tossing and tumbling around her bed. "Percy! Don't leave!" she said in her sleep. She's dreaming about me? I asked myself.

I walked over to her finding her face in tears. I sat on her bed and stroked my hand over her golden hair. "Annabeth, I'm here." I whispered into her ear she woke up startled. Her eyes red and puffy, tears we're coming down her face. "Oh Percy!" She said hugging me so tight she could've broken a rib. She was sobbing on my shoulder

"Shh wise girl, I'm here." I said rubbing her back comforting her

"Oh Percy, something bad is going to happen. I feel it, I can't lose you" She said crying loudly on my shoulder

"You won't. Remember? I promised ill protect you no matter what" I said reassuringly.

She stopped crying now. I wiped the tears from her face. I kissed her. She kissed me back with a lot of force it felt like she's going to kiss me for the last time.

"I'll be here for you." I said breaking our kiss.

"Thank you Percy" She said giving me another big hug.

"Let's sleep now okay? Here, I'll stay with you the rest of the night." I pulled up her blanket and placed it comfortably on my lap.

"Okay Percy" She replied, placing her body next to me.

As we slept I held Annabeth in my arms hoping for a dreamless midnight sleep.
