Y/N's POV:

That night: Flashback/ Nightmare

Warning: Death mentioned

I had just visited Mark and my mom was driving on the highway when a car from the opposite lane was about to hit us from my side. Luckily my mom swerved and the car missed. I was clinging to my chair for dear life completely frozen in place. "Are you oka-". My mom got interrupted by another car hitting us from her side. Glass shattered everywhere. My mom's body was protecting me from it. I remembered another car hitting us from my side and I felt more glass shatter. Everything went black. Next thing I knew I saw police and paramedics all around us. "Mommy?" I say looking at her body on top of mine. "Mom?" I say again. "Mommy this is no time to joke." I say shaking her. Her eyes open slightly and she gives me a weak smile. "I love you honey. Remember always... so does your father." she says her voice weak. Her eyes shut, she stopped breathing and I couldn't feel her heartbeat. Even as a 6 year old I knew she had died. I started to scream and cry. I remember the officers and paramedics rushing to the car. I remember trying to get out of their grip as they led me to the ambulance. I woke up panting and sweating. I look around and sigh still in cabin 3. I get up quietly not to wake Percy. I head to the stables. "Coral?" I whisper to my Pegasus. She opened one eye. "Y/N you okay?" she neighed. "Not really." I reply. She sighed. "Hop on." she neighed. Sometimes she acted like a mom more than a Pegasus. "Boss ain't gonna like this." neighed Blackjack, Percy's horse. "Don't tell him okay?" neighed Coral. "Fine." neighed Blackjack. "You too Tempest." Coral neighed. "Fiiiine." neighed Tempest, Jason's horse. I open the stable door and get on Coral. "So... you wanna tell me?" she neighs as she starts flying. "First I wanna ask something." I say. "Yeah?" she neighed. "Can you drop me off at you know..." I ask. She nods. "I... well... it was so... so... vivid." I tremble. "What was it about this time?" she whines softly. I look at the moon sighing. "The car accident." I say shakily. We near Central Park and she lands. "See you later." I say. She flys off and I walk to a house a few blocks down and ring the doorbell.


Percy's POV:

I wake up as the sun shines through the window. "Ugh Apollo it's way too early." I say. I get up sleepily the sun seeming to be shining on me more now because of what I said. I look at Y/N's bed. 'She's never awake this early.' I thought. I get changed quickly and run to the stables, I spot Blackjack and Tempest but no Coral. "Blackjack, Tempest! Do you know where Y/N and Coral are." I ask. They shake their heads. "You promised not to tell me right?" I guess. After a long discussion they finally tell me. "She and Coral flew off and away." Tempest gives in. "Tempest shut up! Heh sorry Boss." Blackjack whines. Coral lands nearby. I ran to her. "Coral where in Tartarus is Y/N?" I ask. "I can't tell you sorry." Coral neighs. I give her a look. "Fine she's in NYC." Coral neighs. "What why?" I ask. She shakes her head and I sigh. 'If I can't get her to tell me more I'll go look for Y/N.' I thought. "Where exactly in New York?" I ask. "She wants to spend some time alone!" Coral protested. "What if something happens happens to her?! I wouldn't be able to forgive myself!" I blurt out. Coral paused before she gave in. "I left her at Central Park. I don't know where she went after that." Coral neighs. I hop on Blackjack. "Sorry... to Central Park." I say. Blackjack was about to start flying when I see Piper, Annabeth, Leo and Jason rush over. "Where's N/N?" asks Piper worried. "New York, Central Park. She snuck out during the night." I say. "She did what?!" Leo says in a worried tone. "Uh I mean-" Leo starts. "Leo do you like my sister?" I ask. "I don't... maybe?" Leo says. "Okay we can talk about it later. Right now we have to find Y/N." Jason says. "We?" I ask. "Duh we're coming." says Annabeth. "Okay but..." I say pointing at Blackjack and Tempest. "If it's okay with Coral I'll go on her." Leo says. Coral nods. Annabeth hops on Blackjack with me, Piper and Jason go Tempest and Leo takes Coral

Y/N's POV

A red head, blue eyed girl opens the door. "Y/N? Come in." she says. I step into her house. Not many people would let you in at 3am in the morning. "Thanks Lily. I need a safe haven for a while." I smile at the girl aka Lily. "Come on I've got Coke." she says. Yes it's 3am and we're getting Coke. We head to the kitchen and I sit on the counter. "Here." she says handing me a Coke. So Lily is a daughter of Demeter. She also knew Mark except she and Mark were dating. How did I know her? Well we all went to the same school when I was 14. Yes Nyssa couldn't take care of me for a bit so she left me at Lily's also my cousin. Her father was the older brother of my mom and ugh aunt Sabrina. She puts her hair in a messy bun (her fav style). "Girl your hair." she says. I laugh as she pulls it into a messy ponytail. She goes and gets M&M's, Mars bars, popcorn, skittles and Gummies. "Movie?" she says. I grin. "Always." I laugh. We run to her room. I've hung out here more times then I can count it's like a second home to me. We change into pyjamas and go to the living room. "Sooo... Y/N you had another n nightmare?" she asks. I nod. "About mom's you know..." I reply. "Well I'll help you forget." she smiles. "DCOM's?" I say. She nods. "Descendants?" she asks. "Descendants 2." I correct. She shrugs. We watch DCOM's for the next few hours. Until... "N/N?" Lily calls out looking from the window. I look up from my phone. "Yeah?" I ask. "Come look." she says. I walk up to the window and see Percy and Annie on Blackjack, Pipes and Jason on Tempest and Leo on... Coral?! "Those little-" I start cussing until Lily puts a hand to my mouth. She glares at me. I roll my eyes. "They're gonna find me." I yawn. "Well I guess I'll see-" a knock on the door cuts me off. "Y/N M/N Thomas open the door this instant!" I hear Percy's voice through the door. I yawn again. "See ya. Percy's gonna knock the door down if I don't go." "Bye." Lily says. I open the door and Percy, Jason, Annie, Pipes and Leo all waiting for me. "Hell-" "You idiot you scared the living hell out of me. What if a monster got to you? What if you got lost?!" Percy exclaimed with exasperated hand signals. "Man calm down. It's still only nine in the morning." Leo says putting a hand on Percy's shoulder. "Fine, fine but I am not letting you out of my sight again!" Percy says pointing a finger at me. Eventually after a long lecture, we hopped on the Pegasi. Percy and Annie on Blackjack, Jason and Pipes on Tempest and I hop on Coral as the others flew off. I was almost about to leave when- "Hey don't forget about me!" Leo whines. I laugh. "Come on Repair boy." I say. Coral flies off and we manage to catch up to the others. "How did you know where I was?" I ask. "Mark told us." Annie says. Percy scowls and Leo rolls his eyes. I yawn feeling my eyes close against my will.

Leo's POV:

I was sitting behind Y/N when I notice her leaning backwards. "N/N?" That was when she leaned on me completely, I stay quiet as I notice her falling into a deep sleep. Coral slows down a bit but still enough to be near the others. I wrap my arms around her waist so she doesn't fall. She looked peaceful as leaned her head on my chest. Her breath slowed down and her hair got messy in the wind. When I look up for a millisecond I find Percy giving me a glare, gods it could kill. He passes by and Annabeth and Piper laugh while Jason chuckles. I blush and put a finger to my lip. "Shut up. She's asleep." I whisper. "You like her." Piper whispers/teases. "Maybe a little bit." I whispered. "Leo likes Y/N- Jason starts but Piper shuts him up by putting a hand to his mouth. We arrived at camp and I carried Liz bridal style. I hear lots of "Look at Leo" and "Leo likes Y/N~". I ignored them. Percy helps me get her to Cabin 3. Afterwards Percy and me head out. "Okay so Leo you like her?" Percy asks. I nod. "So all I am gonna say is don't hurt her." Percy says. "I swear I won't." I say. 'Not after all she's been through.' I thought. Percy nods. "Good because if you did I would-" Percy starts but Piper cuts him off. "Sorry Percy but we need Leo." Piper says. I groan as Piper and Jason pull me away. They're going to tease me.' I thought.

Y/N's POV:

I wake up in Cabin 3. Last thing I remember I was on Coral with Leo. I get up and notice I'm still in my pjs and my hair's a mess. I get changed into a flower print dress, tights, a white cardigan and sneakers and put my hair in a ponytail. I go out and find Mark who us near the lake playing his guitar. "Look it's Midnight girl." he tease seeing me. "Okay that's the worst nickname so far." I groan. He chuckles. "You know Leo carried you bridal style." He informs me. I blush. "Well Lily's coming back." I say. Mark's eyes light up. "Yeah? She said that?" he asks. I nod. I sit down next to him. "I wanna sing this to Lily." he says. "I found a love, for me. Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead. Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet. Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me." he starts. I smile since Lily loves this song. "'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love. Not knowing what it was. I will not give you up this time. But darling, just kiss me slow. Your heart is all I own. And in your eyes, you're holding mine." "Baby, I'm dancing in the dark. With you between my arms. Barefoot on the grass. Listening to our favourite song. When you said you looked a mess. I whispered underneath my breath. But you heard it. Darling, you look perfect tonight." he continues. By the way that actually happened at prom. "Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know. She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home. I found a lover, to carry more than just my secret. To carry love, to carry children of our own". 'Seriously these two will have kids one day.' I thought. "We are still kids, but we're so in love. Fighting against all odds. I know we'll be alright this time. Darling, just hold my hand. Be my girl, I'll be your man. I see my future in your eyes.". I could hear how much he loved Lily with this song (which as I said is her favourite). "Baby, I'm dancing in the dark. With you between my arms. Barefoot on the grass. Listening to our favourite song. When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful. I don't deserve this. Darling, you look perfect tonight." he sings the chorus again. "Baby, I'm dancing in the dark. With you between my arms. Barefoot on the grass. Listening to our favourite song. I have faith in what I see. Now I know I have met an angel in person. And she looks perfect. I don't deserve this. You look perfect tonight." Mark finishes. Okay these two rival Percy and Annabeth. "Mark that was beautiful and amazing." I says. "Thanks." he says. I get some water and start splashing him. "Oh it's on Thomas!" he yells. Soon we're splashing each other with water. "What're you doing?" Percy asks appearing out of nowhere . I was about to kick Mark but fall in the water. "Nothing." I say getting up. "Well someone asked for you two." Percy says. We look at each other and shrug We walk to the Big house where we the red head and we run to her. We get near and Mark grabbed her waist and lifts her up. "Marcus!" she laughs. He puts her down."Why are you wet- Actually no I don't wanna know." she says  I hug Lily. "I saw you last night." she laughs "Yeah I don't care. I missed you." I say. I break the hug. Mark kisses her and I cover my eyes. "Woah Mark hey PDA." I say. They break the kiss and Mark rolls his eyes. "Spoilsport." Marks grumbles. I kick his ankle. "OW!" he says. I feel someone put their hands on my eyes. "Guess who." I hear a familiar voice. "Leo?" I say. He spins me. "Hey N/N." he grins. "Hey Valdez. What's up?" I say. "Well me, Jason and Piper are going to a play of Beauty and the Beast. Wanna come?" he asks. "Yeah sure. But what about-" I start. "We have an extra ticket." he says."Okay yeah. When is it?" I ask. "Tomorrow night." he says. I nod. He grins and walks off. I feel Mark and Lily staring at me. I turn around to see they're smirking at me. "What?" I ask. "He busted asked you on a double date." Lily says. I blush. "Wh- No he didn't." I protest. "Don't even try to deny it." Mark says. I look away. "Maybe he did." I say. "I thought you wouldn't go on a date after-" Lily starts but I put a hand to her mouth. "No one know's about him." I say. Lily nods. "Yes but... Leo... he's different." I say. "You like him?" asks Mark. I nod. "Maybe a little."
