Its usually hard to sleep soon after finishing a quest. But its worser for some escapees of Tartarus. And thats why Percy found himself awake minutes before Apollo rode his chariot across the sky.
Yawning he sat up from his makeshift bed remembering the events of the last night. He turned to see how the Son of Hades doing and chuckled softly at how the younger boy cocooned himself with the blanket but soon frowned
He thought to himself 'He's still a kid forced to grow too soon. No matter what he says he still need someone to care. Sighing he chided himself You are as worse as Theseus and Hercules, Percy. How can you forget Bianca's promise? How can you forget him, Percy? He is still a kid.
Standing up, he promised to himself 'I will make sure he is loved and cared for, where ever he goes.'
Moving to the sleeping boy's bed and brushing the boy's hair softly, he whispered "You will never be alone again Nico. I will make sure of that."
Determined more than ever Percy left Cabin 13.
