A/n- I'm getting really tired of flamers. Thanks for all the help with the questions I posted at the end of the chapter. I knew what they were I just couldn't spell them properly. Well anyways, onward with the next chapter.

Percy's POV, a few minutes before Annabeth woke

I woke up to Annabeth trashing around in her sleep. I glanced over at Nico, who was passed out in a very awkward position in his bed. I looked down at Annabeth, who was crying a little in her sleep, whimpering, "Mason, no! Alyssia, it's not true!"

She woke up a few minutes later, tears still in her eyes. "Another dream?" I asked. She nodded and I just pulled her closer.

"I feel so bad for Mason and Alyssia. They think their parents don't love them," Annabeth murmured into my chest. "I just wonder who they are, you know. So I could help them."

"We need to tell Chiron," I said. I looked at my clock, which was hard to read but once I did, I added, "In the morning."

"What time is it?" Annabeth whispered.

"I think it says three. I don't know for sure though," I replied. I looked down at her. She was trying to fight sleep again. "It's okay to go back to sleep, I'll be here to comfort you if you have another dream," I said to here, very quietly. She nodded, closing her eyes. She fell asleep on my chest. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Nico's POV

I woke up to a knock on the cabin door. "Breakfast starts in thirty minutes," the voice called from outside. I rolled over trying to get back to sleep, without success, so I got out of bed. I headed to the bathroom, changing my clothes as quickly as possible. I went back into the main room of the cabin, about to wake Percy, when I noticed that Annabeth had fell asleep with Percy. I shook both of them. "Breakfast starts in thirty," I said. Once I was satisfied that they were waking up, I turned to lie back down.

Annabeth's POV

I woke up, realizing that I had spent the night in Percy's cabin. Nico smiled at me. Wait Nico smiled, which was a first. "What you smiling at, Dead boy?" I asked, stretching.

"I just can't believe you broke a cabin rule by staying in Percy's cabin," Nico smirked. I turned, shaking my head.

"Percy, wake up now," I demanded. I got up and put on my clothes from yesterday. By the time I had returned to the main room, Percy was sitting up waiting for me to come out.

"I have to go to my cabin," I said. He walked over to me, kissing me lightly.

Nico replied, "Get a room! I mean geez I don't want to see that!"

"I have a room, you just happen to be in it," Percy laughed as he shut the door to the bathroom. We all started laughing. I left a few minutes, leaving my laptop in Percy's cabin. I entered my cabin to see my brothers and sisters looking at me. I turned to my dresser, pulling out a pair of comfortable jeans and my camp HALF-BLOOD t-shirt. I went into the bathroom, taking a quick shower. I got out and dressed quickly. When I opened the door, Malcolm stood in my way.

"Where were you?" he questioned. My other brothers and sisters stood behind him. I raised my eyebrow. He lowered his voice, whispering into my ear, "You were with Percy, weren't you? I won't tell if you tell me the truth." He pulled away, looking me in the eyes. Obviously my look told him everything he needed to know because he walked away.

I walked after him. "Where are you going?" I whispered.

"Somewhere we have a chat without the others knowing what happened," Malcolm said. We walked down the beach, which was deserted at this hour. "What happened last night?"

"I was working on a project that Chiron assigned me to do. I needed Nico's and Percy's help so we got to work in his cabin since no one would really bother us. Percy left to check in on Susan and Kyle, leaving me and Nico in the cabin. We worked for hours until we finally passed out. Percy came in, waking me up. I asked if I could stay. He gave me clothes and we fell asleep. I swear," I explained.

"What is the project? I won't tell anyone," Malcolm asked.

"We're building Nico a cabin after everything he has done for this camp. He should be welcomed," I answered.

"I heard you and Percy got together," he stated.

"That's right. Mom and his dad weren't too happy," I looked out at the ocean. "But we do need to get food." I stood to leave. "Oh and Malcolm, you tell anyone about me and Percy or last night, I will personally kill you," I said sweetly, and left.

I enter the dinner pavilion to eat. I slide into a seat at Poseidon's table, next to Percy. Grover joined us. "Have fun last night," Grover asked, winking.

"It's not what you think," Percy tried to defend himself, but we both knew it was a hopeless cause. "You tell no one," Percy threatened Grover. Grover raised his hands, as if promising. Percy turned to me, "Why were you late to breakfast?"

"Malcolm wanted to know where I was last night, so I told him. But he won't tell anyone," I looked over at Athena's table, meeting Malcolm's eyes. He smirked and I threw him mom's famous 'I'll-kill-you-slowly-and-painfully' look. He just smiled at me, before returning his attention back to his food.

Nico looked at me and said, "I don't want anything girly, you hear? I want skulls and crossbows everywhere!"

I smiled at him, "After we finish here, we'll go work on it more okay?"

We finished breakfast quickly, trying to return to Percy's cabin. "Annabeth, Percy, and Nico, we need to have a word. Everyone else, go about your normal schedules," Chiron called. We approached him, following him to the big house. "I have confirmed that Annabeth slept in Percy's cabin last night."

I looked at Percy and Nico. "No, nobody sold you out. I would like to say the Annabeth is allowed to stay in your cabin until the blueprints are finished. How much of them have you finished?"

"We have the basic outline, trying to fill in where doors, windows, bathroom, and things like at are going and if we need more or less space then we have right now," I replied.

"Very well. Annabeth and Nico are excused from classes today and tomorrow. Sorry Percy, but since you have no part in this project you must return to typical camp classes. I would like all three of you to review it, making sure it is right and if you could add something to it. Understand? Now run along. I'm still expecting those blueprints by tomorrow," Chiron said. He turned around and galloped away.

I returned to my cabin, grabbing clothes for tonight and tomorrow. I walked over to Percy's cabin, trying to avoid the other campers from knowing where I was going. I walked in and saw Nico sitting on his bed, and Percy sitting in a beanbag chair in the corner. "Aren't you supposed to be in class?" I asked Percy.

"Yes, but I wanted to see you first," Percy said. He tried to get up, but was having difficulty. He managed to get up, kissed me, and left for class. I sat down on his bed, pulling my laptop from under his bed.

"So have you thought of anything else you wanted," I asked, opening the blueprints up. Nico joined me on Percy's bed, looking at the blueprints.

"Looking good. I want two windows on the east, west, and north walls. Bathroom right there," He pointed out. It went on like this for hours, until we fell asleep again. Percy woke us up. "Nico, get in your own bed! Annabeth, put your laptop away and go change," he ordered.

Nico climbed in his own bed, passing out again. I put my laptop under his bed, and grabbed my clothes. I entered his bathroom, changing as quickly as possible. I walked back out into the main room wearing a band t-shirt and a pair of cotton shorts. Percy had already changed by the time I made it back. He was lying in bed, waiting for me to join him. I climbed in, crawling closer to him. He wrapped his arms around him, kissed my head, and fell asleep. I followed his idea, and fell asleep.

"Alyssia!" I called for the hundredth time. She finally appeared in the middle of woods, holding her side. I fell to my knees next to her. An army of dead appeared out of the ground, heading to attack us. I saw a man, no older than eighteen, standing in the shadows. "Please don't kill us," I begged.

He stepped out of the shadow, into the sunlight. "Mason? Alyssia?" He asked in a shocked voice.

"H-how do you know our name?" I asked, putting my hand to Alyssia's neck. I tried to find a heartbeat, which I couldn't. I called water to my aid. I tried desperately to save her. Minutes passed, without success. I pulled nectar and ambrosia trying to get it to go down her throat, which I followed with some water. She opened her eyes, coughing slightly. I pulled her into my arms, not worrying about the man behind me. I turned around to see the man, along with the army of dead, had disappeared.

"I'm sorry," Alyssia said. "I shouldn't have run off."

"I shouldn't have told you that I regretted having to take care of you. I don't Aly," I told her, tears in my eyes. "Don't run off again. I can't lose you. I've already lost mom and dad, I couldn't stand losing you. I wouldn't be able to find the will to go on anymore."

"I won't," she promised. "Don't worry, Mason. We'll find mom and dad again, and we will make it to camp," Alyssia told me. "We need to make that raft."

We let silence take over as we looked for wood and string like tree limbs to make a raft out of. Once we had plenty, we started setting them in the correct positioning. Thankfully Alyssia was helping a lot. I was smart, just not as wise as she was. We had finished the raft when we heard footsteps behind us.

"My, my, my, what do we have here?" the voice was hard and chilling. A figure appeared out of the shadow. I looked up to see the reaper. I pulled my scythe out, the one I had stolen from the reaper the last time we met.

I stood to face him, standing between him and Alyssia. I faced him for the last time, I thought. "I, Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, demand you leave these two alone and find others to appease your appetite. Now be gone!" a voice behind us said. I turned to see Alyssia looking at the guy I had seen in the shadow when Alyssia was hurt.

She looked at me, with those innocent, hypnotizing eyes of hers, knowing what she wanted. I nodded, and looked away.

I woke with a start, sitting up quickly. I glanced at Nico's bed, seeing that he was still there. I laid back down, letting out a sigh of relief.

A/n- Okay so you like? What do you think Mason was agreeing to? And why was Nico in the dream? Please review, it'll make my day so much better. I don't think I will be able to update tomorrow because I have an ROTC event tomorrow morning then prom tomorrow night. I will update if I can! Love you all!
