        "I like you, Maggie." He said.
        "I like you too, Nico." I said to him.
        "Really?" He asked looking surprised.
        "Yes. Really!" He got up and hugged me then sat next to me.
       We talked for a little. Next thing I know Rhaeghan was shaking me awake. Nico and I were in the same chairs as last night but awake.
      "We all came because we heard Maggie screaming." Rhaeghan explained.
      "That's why I woke up." Nico said.
      "I had a bad dream." I explained.
      "What was your dream about?" Rhaeghan asked.
      "I was stuck in a bronze jar with no light except my sword. Then I was on the outside and my body was motionless and then everything went black." I paused. "I tried screaming for help but no sound came out." Quickly I added,"It was just a stupid nightmare.
      "Maggie you read the books right?" Rhaeghan asked her face pale like all the others.
      "Yes." I said.
      "Dreams work the same way in real life." She said sadly.
      I know it sounds weird but all I could do was run so I ran. When I stopped I had somehow ended up in the stables. I fell to the floor and started to tear up. I wiped them away and got myself together.
       After awhile the door opened. I didn't turn around because I didn't want whoever it was to see my red, puffy eyes. When the person sat down in front of me I saw it was Nico. He put his arms around me. The best part was Nico knows I don't like when people say everything will be fine when it isn't. So he hugged me but didn't say anything. He let me stay there in his arms for hours because he knew it was the best thing to do for me.
      The only reason I left his arms was because there was a monster attack. Nico and I headed towards the deck. When we got to the stairs Nico told me to hide in the dining hall. He gave me a sword to defend myself then left. I was sitting there for thirty minutes when I heard a scream. At which point I started to worry. I should have been out there fighting too. I walked towards the doors. Just then they explode spending me flying backwards. I hit the ground with full force and was dizzy. In the blur I saw a monster standing over me. Then I heard someone scream just as everything went dark.
When I woke up I was in a small, dark area with the sword Nico gave me as my only light. It was just like the dream but this time I could barely breath. My leg hurt. I looked down and, in the faint light, saw there was a huge, deep cut on my right leg. It must have been from the explosion. Then I realized I must have been in the jar for hours because my breathing was shallow now. It was getting hard to breath. I heard a loud noise then blacked out from loss of breath.
Nico's Point of View
      I heard a scream and started running towards the dining hall. Thinking it was Maggie. Before I even got down the stairs, a cloud of dust came flying up the stairs. When the dust cleared a little I saw the thing that made the cloud. I screamed. I got hit in the side by a monster then killed it. A monster now had Maggie in his arms and was carrying her up to the deck. He knocked me aside and jumped off the ship. I ran to the side and looked over. He was on a ship lower then us.
"Rhaeghan! Hurry we have to save her!" Nico said. Rhaeghan summoned her pegasus, Angel, and me and her rode off after the ship.
After about two hours, we finally land at a building. Three monsters carried a bronze jar into the building. We had to get Maggie out of the jar before something bad happens to her.
We snuck in behind them. When the other two weren't looking we took the third one out.
"We have to make a plan." I whispered to Rhaeghan.
"How about we get the second one when the other isn't looking. Then you get Maggie out of the jar and we will head back to the ship. Okay?" I nodded.
That's exactly what we did then. I took out the second one and then ran towards the bronze jar. Hoping she was in there. The last monster swung at me but I dodged it and keep running. When I got to the jar I set it on its side and took off the lid. Maggie was in there. I grabbed her and pulled her out.
She was unconscious. I checked her pulse. She was still alive. She also had a huge cut on her right leg. It must have been from the explosion.
"Nico! Hurry there is more coming!" Rhaeghan yelled.
"Okay. I'll shadow travel Maggie there. You go! Now!" Nico yelled. She took off just as five more came in.
I shadow travel to the ship. Rhaeghan was already there.
"What are we going to do?" Percy yelled.
"We need to call him." Leo said.
"I agree." I said. With my response came an unison of yes and yeah.
"Okay. I'll go call him." Percy agreed. He walked away. He went to call the only person that could help.
