Having a miracle that is a dreamless sleep, I knew something bad would happen. I could've never had known any of it would happen. But, it did happen.

Coming out of my sleep, I feel someone shaking me.

I moaned, falling back asleep.

The someone, started shaking me harder.

"Percy, Percy. You need to wake up. Didn't you hear the explosion?" A girl asked in disbelief.

I whimpered and rolled over. Something happened last night, I don't know what. Something's different.

"Percy..." The girl trailed off in concern. She shook me again.

I hear laughter and footsteps coming to my cabin. I couldn't care who, I was confused and my head was hurting.

I started falling back to sleep, when a bang of the door sounded. Someone shouted out, "FLAMING HOT VALDEZ IS BACKKK!!!!!"

For some reason, the shout didn't bother me. And, I continued to fall in a dark abyss.

"Annabeth..." Another girl asked. "I thought you woke him up. It's been an hour since you came in here."

"Wait, you chased me for an hour?" The boy asked in a mock hurt voice.

There was a sound of a smack, with an 'Ow'.

"Piper, something's wrong. He won't wake up. I have tried everything, even yelled out blue pancakes. He's not waking up." The girl who was sitting on my bed said, crying slightly.

"Hey, Annabeth. He's fine. I can wake him up." A girl said in a gentle voice.

"Please..." The girl responded, with her voice breaking as she begged.

I turned away, and whimpered more. Before falling back in the abyss.

I hear footsteps coming to the side of the bed I was facing, away from the door. "Percy, wake up. You need to wake up. Open your eyes and get up..." There was a break, I don't know why.

"Percy..." She trailed off.

"Pipes, he's still alive." A boy said, walking to the girl in front of me.

"I know. But, why is my charm speak not working?" She replied, worried.

Wait...

Valdez... Annabeth... Pipes.... Charm speak...

Leo, Jason, Piper, and Annabeth. But, how is Leo here?

I groan, as my headache became more intense.

"Percy? Percy. Can you hear me?" The first girl asked. How can I not remember her name?

I heard more footsteps and felt the bed dip.

"Don't make me call your mother to wake you up." She tries to threaten, but it came out weak.

I was falling in and out of consciousness, instead of falling in the abyss.

I take that as a good thing and tried to open my eyes. I don't know if they were opening or not, because of the pain. But, I hear gasps and many voices say encouraging things, I couldn't make them out.

Finally, as I start to fade back in the abyss, I opened my eyes slightly. Confused and disoriented.

Soon I felt hands getting me to sit up. The hands don't leave, as I'm not steady. My eyes close again, as my headache turned to lightheadedness.

"-your eyes. Percy, you need to tell us what's wrong. What hurts?" The concerned voice came from what I'm leaning most against. Its familiar and safe. But, the voice could have been from across the room, from how soft, quiet, and really distant it was.

And, I didn't get the first part. Everything feels sluggish.

I felt the abyss, trying to claim me.

The soft voice became urgent. The hands helped me to lay on the bed.

I hear distant arguing. I smell lightning.

"PERCY, DON'T FALL ALSEEP!" I hear the yelling and feel the pain of lightning.

But, it was too late, the abyss claimed me.
