A Demigods Nightmare

| Annabeth Chase |

I got up off my bed and checked the calendar. Today was a Tuesday, so three more days of school. I sighed and slumped back down. It wasn't that I didn't like school, the lessons were great! But I didn't feel like I fitted in. Of course I expected that, but now I was being threatened.

After tonight's events, I knew Bridgette wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted. She would never get Percy, not ever. Unless, Percy wanted Bridgette...

The thought was stupid and impossible. Why would Percy go for a girl like that? We've been through so much together, we couldn't just let go like that.

My clock said it was one in the morning, and I had school in about six hours. Sleep seemed like the most inviting option.

But sleep for a Demigod isn't always pleasant.

Quickly, i drifted off into a dream state. I found myself back in Goode, on an empty corridor. Suddenly, all the doors began to open and shut rapidly on their own.

The clattering noise played havoc with my senses in this dream state. One of the doors was slower than the others, opening once every two or three times the others did. Dodging the faster doors, I legged it towards the slow one and into the classroom.

Someone hit a light switch and the lights flickered on. It looked like a normal English classroom. Desks in rows graffiti-ed by students, a white board behind the teachers desk.

Posters of the world and authors. The basics. One of the desk began to shimmer, like there was a heat haze there. Then two figures appeared: Bridgette Fletcher and Percy.

⠀"Percy?" I called, walking forwards. Bridgette say on the desk with Percy, his arm around her shoulder.

⠀"What's wrong Annie?" Bridgette said in a mocking voice of sympathy.

⠀"This is just a dream." I said to her, and convincing myself.

⠀"But it might not be."

⠀"What Percy and I have is stronger than anything you will ever have. There's nothing between you and him!" My fists clenched as she stared straight into my eyes.

She couldn't challenge me. I'd fought monsters, lived on the street, lost people I loved. The most upsetting thing Bridgette had ever done was break a nail.

⠀"Oh yeah?" She said, turning to Percy. Bridgette wrapped her arms around him and brought him in. Their lips connected and they began kissing passionately.

My body screamed out. I wanted to cry and shout and smash something. I kept reminding myself that it wasn't real. It wasn't real.

⠀"THIS ISN'T REAL!" I screamed.

They broke apart and Percy looked at her with such lust I wanted to slap him. Bridgette looked at me, satisfied.

⠀"Give up." she said.

⠀"Not ever." I said taking a deep breath, my voice cracking.

Suddenly, my surroundings swirled into a big mess. I spun round and round, i thought i was going to throw up. Finally i stopped, and my eyes flew open.

I was on my bed, sweating from head to foot, my heart racing. My clock said It was four in the morning. It was just a dream. But i felt frantic, for once i felt like i'd lost a grip on reality. My dream had been so messed up, it had managed to shake me, a child of the goddess Athena, who stood for everything prepared and ready.

⠀"Percy!" I sobbed, longing for him to be with me. "Percy!"

My door flung open, and the son of Poseidon stood in the door way wide eyed. When he saw me shaking, he ran forwards and held me tight, rubbing my back like you would a little child.

⠀"Annabeth, what's wrong?" he asked, full of concern.

I couldn't bring myself to tell him. My dream felt locked up in a cage, trapped in my mind.

⠀"I c-can't-" I cried into his shoulder. The smell of sea air filled my lungs, and comforted me.

⠀Percy nodded. "Okay, we'll talk in the morning." He got in my bed next to me, and slipped beneath the covers.

⠀"Night, Wise Girl." Percy whispered, kissing my lips softly.
