Daphne
After DJ was claimed, and promptly fainted, Daphne and Logan had to take her to the infirmary in the Big House. The upside: Daphne got to spend time with Logan. The downside: that girl weighed a ton!
"Hey, remember our quest last summer?" Logan said. "I had to carry you and Sarah around like this all the time."
Daphne smiled. "Yeah. Sorry about that by the way."
"No offense, but you are very heavy." He said. They put down DJ in one of the spare beds. "I don't think she needs any nectar." Logan said.
"Hey, as long as we're here, why don't we see how Percy's doing." Daphne, Logan, and Sarah had all gone on a quest to rescue Percy Jackson from the demititans' clutches. He was still in a coma and was resting comfortably in the infirmary.
Annabeth was still by Percy's bedside. She almost never left his side except to eat, sleep, and play capture the flag. "He's not doing any better." She said when Daphne and Logan walked in.
Daphne couldn't get over how old Annabeth and Percy both looked. They were both only 19, but that fall they had taken into Tartarus had really aged both of them in a way.
"Do you think he'll ever wake up?" Daphne asked. No one answered. Eventually Logan headed off to bed leaving Daphne alone with Annabeth and Percy. "So," Annabeth said, "when are you gonna tell him how you feel?"
Daphne blushed a deep shade of green. She wasn't even sure how she felt about Logan. Last summer she had somehow fallen in love with that doofus, but she wasn't sure if that was really how she felt. She had eventually told Annabeth and Piper, but neither of them were much help. Piper had told her some story involving a meteor shower and dancing on a roof to give her an example, but Daphne hadn't really understood it.
"I don't know," Daphne admitted, "besides, he seems much more interested in that DJ girl."
"Please," Annabeth replied, "he likes you. I can tell."
"Whatever." Daphne said. "G'night." And she left. It was sad but true that Logan was probably more interested in DJ. Daphne had a hard time falling asleep that night, but eventually she did.
And her dreams were racked with images of Roman demigods being tortured nonstop.
