I feel the soft bed.

My headache is a dull feeling.

My senses are fine.

Before I try opening my eyes, I hear talking.

"Annabeth, you need to sleep." It sounded like Piper.

"Piper, he woke up at noon, barely. It's been ten hours." I hear Annabeth sniffle. "Chiron said he doesn't know why that happened. Maybe it was a dream?"

"No. It wasn't a dream." A new voice, I never heard before, stated.

"Annabeth, you can't do anything more right now. We have to wait." Piper said ignoring the new voice all together.

I open my eyes. Looking at Piper and Annabeth, there was no one else there. I'm confused. I could have sworn I heard a voice.

My headache came back and I groan, closing my eyes.

"Percy..." Annabeth said, worried.

I sigh. "I was asleep for ten hours?" I asked, in disbelief.

Opening my eyes, I see Annabeth right next to me and Piper next to her.

Annabeth crosses her arms. "How long have you been awake for?" She asked, getting annoyed.

I think back, it was only short term, but it was a struggle. "When Piper told you to sleep. What time is it?" I asked.

"The campfire just ended. Everyone's gone to bed." Piper answered. "And, Frank and Hazel are coming in the morning."

"Percy, what happened?" Annabeth demanded.

I sigh and close my eyes. "I don't know. But, I didn't have a dream. It-it was weird."

I hear Annabeth sigh.

"You should get some sleep. Both of you." Piper said walking out of the infirmary, as I hear her footsteps become distant.

"Good night Percy." Annabeth said shortly, kissing my forehead and left.

I open my eyes when the light went out.

I can't sleep. There's light coming in from the moon, lighting the room.

Looking towards the window, I see a girl.

She came to me, but I can't speak. She leaned down and...

I fell into the abyss.

Where the nightmare began.
