Bed Time

Percy's POV

Once we had all settled down in our sleeping bags, it started to get boring. I was scared to go to sleep for fear of what Kronos might try… One look at that face gave me the feeling he had all kinds of tricks of his sleeve.

My fears were confirmed. The moment Annabeth started to snore, Kronos smiled and gestured for everyone to gather around. He conjured a bucket of water, filled with chunks of ice. I was about to object when Kronos dumped the entire bucket onto Annabeth. She woke with a start, and gasped, drenched in the icy water. Her hair was dripping and her lips already turned blue. Her teeth chattered and she looked, seething, at me. "Why did you let him?" she said, shivering. I rolled my eyes." I was gonna!" I used my powers to make her dry. Kronos turned his head to look at me. I slowly realized what I had done. I braced myself to turn to a pile of Percy-dust.
