Everything is Changing

Over Protective

     I woke up the next morning to Nico holding me in his arms. He was still asleep. That means I had no nightmares, which is a miracle. I gently moved his arms so I wouldn't wake him up. I went into the bathroom so I could fix my hair. When I looked in the mirror I almost screamed. I had three marks on the side of my neck. I quickly put my hair in a messy bun and went back into the other room.
     Nico was up and still only in his underwear looking for his pants. I went over to the bed, grabbed a pillow, and threw it at him. He turned around.
    "What was that for?" He said sleepily.
    "Look at what you did!" I pointed to my neck.
    "I'm sorry." He said laughing.
    "Ohh. You're laughing. But will you still be laughing if Percy and Jason see these...you know" I said pointing to my neck again.
    "You mean hickeys." He said.
    "Yeah. Then they're going to kill you." I said.
    "It's okay we'll figure something out. Let's just get dressed." He suggested.
    In the end, we got dressed and I wore a hoodie. I kept the hood up. We walked to the dining hall for breakfast. The good news was there were only two people there. The bad news, it was Percy and Jason.
    "Hey Sleepyhead!" Jason said.
    "Morning Sis!" Percy said. "What's with the hood?"
    "I'm becoming a vigilante." I joked.
    "Okay whatever. Just no killing anyone unless they try to kill you. Got it?" Percy said.
    "Fine." I sighed, sitting down.
    I was eating breakfast next to Nico when all the sudden my hood was pulled down. I turn around to see Percy. Him and Jason looked mad.
   "Nico?" I said.
   "Yeah Maggie?" He asked nervously.
   "RUN!" I yelled.
    I bent the light for a second to confuse Percy and Jason so we could run. When we got halfway down the hall Percy and Jason came out of the dining hall. We kept running through the maze of halls until we were back on the deck.
    "Hurry up. The mast!" Nico said, pointing to the mast.
    Nico went up first and I was going up when someone grabbed my ankle. It was Percy. Jason was behind me in the air. He grabbed me around the waist and floated back to the deck. I tried to fight back but the two of them held onto my arms.
    "No Maggie. You are not going out of our sight anymore." Percy said. He seemed a little angry. Jason did too.
   We got to the dining hall and everybody was there. They sat me down  and put two chairs around me. They basically caged me in.
    "What are you guys doing?" Annabeth asking while laughing.
    "She is not leaving our sight." Percy said. Jason nodded in agreement.
    "Why?" Rhaeghan asked. Neither of them would answer so I did.
    "Nico and I had a little bit of a heated make-out session. And he gave me these." I pointed to the hickeys.
"Nice." Annabeth said. "So your brothers aren't letting you out of their sight ever again, are they?"
    "Probably not. But I don't see the big deal. Percy has a girlfriend and I'm sure they have done this." I said.
    "Even if I have, I'm eighteen. You lil sis are only 14." Percy looked at me then turned back to making the cage.
    "Maggie. I still can't believe you did this." Jason said surprised. He didn't even look at me.
    "Okay first of all, you guys are acting like I killed somebody. Second, it was only kissing. NOTHING ELSE. And third, I could die any day now and you are upset that I had a make-out session."I yelled the last sentence.
    They both flinched then turned to me.
    "Seriously. I'm old enough to take care of myself." I said.
    They looked at each other then Percy got up and Jason followed. They closed the dining hall doors behind them. I turned to Annabeth.
    "Why are they overreacting?" I asked her.
     She came and sat in the chair Jason had been sitting in. She turned it to face me.
    "Maggie. You have been having dreams about people dying. They probably don't want you to get attached to anyone emotionally." She explained.
    "Well it's a little too late for that." I said. "And why would they do that?"
    "If someone from your dreams or visions is going to die then they don't want you to be heartbroken. Especially if it's Nico." She finished.
     She put her hand on top of mine. I squeezed her hand to tell her I was okay. The doors opened and Annabeth went back to her place. Percy and Jason made their way towards me and sat down in their chairs. Percy turned his around to face me. Jason didn't have to from Annabeth and me's talk.
   "Look guys I'm really sorry for yelling at you. I just didn't get why you were doing this. I think I understand now though." Percy took my hand and held it while he talked. He looked me straight in the eyes.
   "Maggie, it's hard to say this but..." Percy started.
   "We don't want you to start getting attached to something because we just talked with Rachel this morning. She had a vision." Jason finished for Percy.
   "What was the vision?" I asked.
   At this point the doors opened and Nico was standing there I went to walk over to him but Percy and Jason were in the way. They sat me back down.
   "For Nico and yours best interest, you should stay away from each other." Percy told me.
    "What was the vision?" I asked a little louder.
    "Maggie calm down! It's getting darker in here." Percy said in a soothing voice. I couldn't calm down though.
    "What was the vision?!" I basically yelled at this point.
     They didn't answer. After about a minute I made the room really dark and shadow-traveled out of there. I didn't know where I was going but I didn't care.
