Percy's POV

Screaming. I hear screaming.

I pop out of bed an realize it's Annabeth. I run across the room and barge into her's, to see Annabeth screaming in her sleep, tossing and turning. "Stop, no STOP. Please, OWW! Please, s-stop," she screams. Quickly, I shake her shake her shoulders, "Annabeth! Annabeth, wake up!"

She jerks up, almost hitting her head on mine. "Annabeth. Annabeth," I say and she cries into her hands. "Shhh...." I coo and rub her shoulders. She moves her head into my chest and I wrap my arms around her small body. "H-he t-tried to-to k-kill m-me," she sobs. "Shhh... It's okay..... It was just a dream...." I coo. Her breathing is rather quick and I can't get her to relax.

5 minutes later

Her cries become calm. "Go back to bed," I say. She shakes her head, "I can't. What if the dream comes back?" I nod, "Stay right here. I'll go get something okay?" I say gently and lay her small body back on the bed and go downstairs.

I grab a packet of sleep zzzz and mix it into a cup of water then bring it upstairs to my petrified Annabeth.

"Here you go," I say and hand her the drink. She looks at me in a spectacle way. "It helps you sleep, and doesn't give you any dreams. It's made for things like this," I say and she presses the drink against her lips and she drinks it all. I take the glass and set it on the nightstand.

As her eyes begins to get heavy the words, "Can you stay with me?" escape from her mouth, causing me to smile and slip under the seats and wrap my arm around her fragile body.
