A Light In Darkness Perpollo/Percollo/percyxapollo

Apollo wakes up around midnight gasping for air. Imagies of Jasons body being ran through with a spear still playing in his mind.

"Dad you ok?" Yan asks half awake sitting up to look at him.

Apollo nods. "Yeah im fine. Just. Just a nightmare." Jason was with us when we got off right.

Yan accepts the answer and goes back to sleep. Apollo goes to the bathroom to ires message Jason.

Jason looks shocked that Apollo is calling, and Apollo is shocked the demigod is still awake.

"Apollo? Meg said your human again."

"Did she tell you why?"

"No. Whats up why are you calling at midnight?"

Apollo crosses his arms. "Why are you awake?"

"I asked you first."

"I had a nightmare. Caligula killed you." Apollo says looking down.

Jason nods slowly. "Oh. Well Apollo as you can see im well and alive. You remeber i got hurt and didnt die. Im ok. Really. You got me healed. And then came back as a god and gave me a dog."

"Yeah. I remember." Apollo says softly.

Jason grins. "So the reason why im still awake at this hour. Really i just couldnt sleep. Ive been having nightmares. I dont want to go into full detail rigjt now kust. Im worried about the gods."

Apollo frowns a little. Nightmares and worring about the gods. "Rachel came by. She said she saw some things about me and Percy. She seemed scared to."

"Im sure itll be fine. Get some sleep Apollo."

"Good night." He says and cuts the connection.

Apollo walks out of the cabin and goes down to the sound. He sighs and stares at the moon. "I miss you Artimis. I would like to talk to you."

"I may not be your sister. But i wont mind talking to you." Posidon says sotting next to him on the sand.

"Arnt you supposed to not be talking to me?"

Posidon shrugs. "What will Zeus do to me. Im not scared of him like you are."

Apollo laughs shakily. "Im not scared of him."

"Apollo ive seen the way he treats you. Everyone but Artimis knows how cruel he is toward you. Shes fighting your father trying to gey him to stop this punishment."

"She is?"

Posidon nods. "We all think this is right."

Apollo pulls his knees up to his chest. "Dad isnt that bad..."

"Id about campare what you two have going on as similar as what your friend Meg had happening to her woth Nero."

Apollo looks at him confused. "How could that be similar?"

"Just trust me on that okay? I shouldnt speak to mych about him. You know talking about gods get there attention."

Apollo nods in understanding. Names have power and talking about them gets attention. "Percy will be here next week. I dont know what im going to do."

"If I could. Id give you my blessing to date him."

"Really?"

"Hed do what hed want any way about it. Though i would definitely kill you if you hurt him." Posidon says with a small laugh.

Apollo grimmicas knowing its true. "Yeah. I wish i could talk to him." He mumbles and there is a roll of thunder making Apollo flinch.

"I have to get going. Dont worry Apollo im sure everything will turn out ok." Posidon says and dissapears into the sound.

Apollo sighs and lays down in the sand looking at the stars tracing the constalations out, even finding Zoe Nightshade.

Apollo dosnt relize how long hes been sitting outside when the sun begins to rise... once again without him. He goes back to the cabin brushing the sand off and changes into the camp half blood clothes and jacket he conseders waiting for his children to wake up but decides to go and walk around camp.

He eventually goes into the woods and finds a small patch of flowers.

A few hours later he goes to the dinning pavilion and gives his kids flower crowns that he made.

Nico looks a little shocked and Apollo says. "You dont have ti wear it if you dont want to."

"No ill wear it bavk off." He says putting it on not looking at Apollo.

Apollo smiles happy thay he made his kids happy.

"Were did you go last night i woke up and you were not there." Gracie asks concerned. "Were you in the woods al night doing this?"

"No not all night. I was doing that since sunrise. I just took a walk on the sound. Spoke to Posidon."

"Posidon? Whatd he say?" Jerry asks suprised a god besides there dad was here.

Apollo shrugs. "Not much. Just that my sister is trying to gey father to make me a god again cause this is all unfair and a couple things that im not sure is true or not."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Will asks.

"No. Im going to go talk to Dionysus about the running camp stuff."

Will frowns watching his dad walk up to were Mr. D and Chiron are sitting. He knows somthing is going on with Apollo. He knows Rachel knows what it is she just didnt have the heart to tell them. "Im going to go to the Artimis cabin real quick. See if i can talk to dads sister."

"What do you think is going on with dad?" Jerry asks.

"I dont know but I dont think hes going to talk to us."

"Do you think the reason hes wearing a jacket is because..." Austin asks not wanting to say it out loud.

Will shrugs. "I mean that could just be him really wanting to look cool. He may have changed to be a better person but there is times he still falls back to the whole i want to look cool and hot. We all know that." He says optimistically.

And his siblings heasintly agree.

"Ill be back." Will says and heads to the cabins.

Meanwhile Apollo is talking to Dionysus.

"You know i dont do anything." Dionysus laughs. "Im just wasnt in a hurry to see dear old dad again. But ill be leaving you in charge tonight."

"So. Your not really going to teach me. Anything."

He shrugs. "As you said. How hard can it be."
