Mortals meet demigods

Rebecca Jones (Percabeth)

I was going to meet my friend, Sally Jackson, who I hadn't seen in a long time. When I arrived at her house, I met her and her husband Paul who seemed nice. We caught up for a while before I had to use the bathroom. As I was on my way down the hall, I saw a bedroom door open. Curious, I peeked inside. To my horror, I saw a boy with messy black hair, sleeping with a beautiful blonde girl! I completely forgot about using the bathroom and rushed back to the hall. " Sally! There is a boy and a girl sleeping together in your son's bedroom!" I screeched. She smiled. "Oh! That's just my son, Percy and his girlfriend, Annabeth!" like that explained everything. "What! You let them sleep together? You're not worried at all?" I asked. She shook her head. "No. Annabeth is one of the most sensible people I know. She wouldn't let anything happen," she said.

"But why are they sleeping in the middle of the afternoon and why do they sleep together anyway?" I questioned, determined to understand. Sally began to look annoyed. "They have PTSD and so I allow them to sleep whenever they get the chance and since they went through it together, they are the only ones who can comfort each other if they have a nightmare." she answered. I shook my head in disbelief. As if anyone could have nightmares that bad!

I was just leaving when I heard a blood curdling scream! I immediately rushed towards the bedroom which was where the scream was coming from. The boy, Percy, was screaming and shaking. "No! Annabeth! Please! I didn't mean to leave you! No!" Immediately the girl, apparently 'Annabeth' was awake and soothing him, dodging his flailing arms and legs. "Shh, Percy. It's ok, Seaweed Brain. I'm here. I'm fine, we're all fine. Gaia's gone now, it'll be ok." He sat up, tears streaming down his face. "Wise Girl? You're ok?" She nodded and hugged him. 'Yes, Seaweed Brain. I'm ok and everyone else is fine too."

He finally calmed down and smiled waterily. "I love you Wise Girl," he said. "I love you too Seaweed Brain," she replied smiling. When they kissed, I could immediately tell I was mistaken. It was true love that would last forever.
