      "It's almost dinner and I wanted to know if you were coming." Jason sounded concerned.
      "Probably not if those three morons are still there." I said turning to my bed and laying down on my back. I just stared at the ceiling.
      "Well I'll bring you something." He said. His face came into my view as he leaned over me. "I'll knock three times then open the door. What do you want?" He asked still looking at me.
      "Mac and cheese. With sweet potatoes fries. And syrup." I said. "Thanks Jason." I sat up and hugged him. He hugged back.
      "No problem, sis." He said.
      "You too?"
      "Yes." He said, laughing. "I'll be back soon." He left. I left the door unlocked.

Jason's Point of View
      I left Maggie's room. She didn't lock her door. That's a start. When I walked into the dining hall, I was bombarded with questions from Percy and Nico.
"Is she coming to dinner? Is she mad at us? When is she coming out of her room?" They asked the questions at the same time.
     "No. Yes. Probably never. She is really mad at you three." I told them.
"And she let me call her sis too." I rubbed it in Percy's face.
"Well we are her big brother figures. I feel so bad." Percy said putting his head in his hands.
"You? I should never have let her go." Nico looked down and put a hand on his head.
"I'm—" Jax started but was interrupted.
"Shut up!" Percy and Nico said at the same time.
"Everyone please report to the dining hall for dinner." Leo said over the speaker.
I grabbed two of the plates that automatically fill with the food of your thoughts. I started to walk out the door when I was spoken to.
"Where are you going?" Nico asked.
"To Maggie's room." I said, confused.
"Why?" Percy asked. He was standing next to Nico now.
"Because she shouldn't have to be alone right now. And I promised I would bring her dinner." I turned and walk down the hall.
"Just remember you have first watch by yourself." Percy called after me.
"Okay." I yelled back.
At the very end of the hall, on the left, was Maggie's room. I knocked three times.
"Come in." Maggie yelled.

Maggie's Point of View
"Come in." I said. Jason walked in.
He handed me one of the automatic fill plates. I imagined Mac and cheese. It appeared, so I started to eat. Jason was having sausage and hash browns.
"So what did they say about you coming here?" I asked.
"They asked why I was coming here. And I told them that you shouldn't be alone right now." He said not looking up from his plate.
     "Won't your girlfriend be mad that your hanging out with another girl?" I asked because he was nice and I didn't want him to get in trouble.
     "I don't have a girlfriend." He stated.
     "Oh." Was all I could say. "If you don't want to be here you can leave I will not mind." I said, half expecting him to get up and leave. So I was surprised when he stayed.
     "I'm not leaving you by yourself unless you want me to." He said finally looking up at me. "By the way do you want to do first watch?"
     "Umm...I don't know." I said. What if Percy or Nico or both are there?
     "Don't worry it's just me." He said.
     "Okay then." I said, relaxing a little bit.
After we finished eating he took the plate and said he would be back in an hour to get me for first watch. So I took a long shower and got dressed. I sat on my bed until Jason knocked on my door. I opened it and followed him to the deck. We stood there and talked for a little bit making sure nothing tried to attack us. Even though Jason, Hazel, and Frank aren't part of the quest they came. About a half hour in, I started to get a headache. Which was weird because I never got a headache. After five minutes I was starting to think it wasn't a headache because the pain was increasing too fast.
"Jason. Something's wrong." I said holding my head.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I thought I had a headache but it hurts too much and is getting worse fast." I explained.
After I told him that a searing pain shot through my whole body. All I could see was white. I could faintly hear someone screaming. The pain continued. When the white started to fade so did the pain. I was in my bedroom on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I turned my head to see Nico. I sat up and sat on the edge of my bed. When he saw me his eyes widened.
"I know you don't want to see me right now but Jason needed to sleep and Percy has third watch." He said quickly. He looked like he expected me to hit him.
I got up and went to the chair he was sitting in and sat on his leg. I pulled his face towards my face and kissed him. At first he was surprised but after the shock resided, he kissed me back. We stop kissing to get some air.
"Wow. Not the response I was expecting." Nico said.
