A/N: hey u guys! i have an announcement to make, i finished the son of Neptune!!!! yayayay ya nobody cares, any way on Mark of Athena.....ONTO THE STORY!!!!!!!!!

Nico's P.O.V.

Did that really just happened? Leo you ruin everything, I mean you just had to wake up right before. You couldn't have just woken up 1 minute later? Callie was sitting far away from me now, staring at the ground blushing. I began to smile, she looked up and saw me staring I quickly looked away.

"Whats up with you two?" Leo asks yawning, I glance to Callie trying to think of what to say.

"Why are you up Leo?" Callie asked sounding annoyed, she still had a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Ummmm..........night mares?" Leo replied rubbing his neck

"Awww little Leo is scared." Callie said jokingly

" Just go back to bed Leo." I said "fine" he said

After he fell asleep, which wasn't very long, I tried to start a conversation.

"Have you noticed when Percy sleeps he is always moving, Leo snores and Annabeth is completely silent?" I said trying to lighten the mood, getting a laugh in response

"You know your not as dark and gloomy as everyone says you are." she replies

'What's that supposed to mean?" I asked

"Hey, I'm trying to compliment you." she said nudging me smiling, before I could reply Percy jerked up sweaty and panting, Callie's smile was gone now replaced with worry. Percy buried his head in his hands.

"Wake up Annabeth." I say "Kay." she mutters getting up

Callie's P.O.V.

I walked over to where Annabeth was sleeping, kicking Leo to get him up. She grunted showing she didn't want to wake up, cant wake up a child of Athena while their sleeping.

"What?" She asks head in her pillow

"Percy's had a nightmare, again." I said

"Can he just wait till morning?" she asks

"Ok, that's fine by me. but that means Nico is going to have to cheer him up" I say

"I'm up, I'm up." She said, as she sits up Leo is pretending to be a sleep but fidgets here and there.

"Leo." I say coming closer. "Leo." I say in a creepy voice,i crept over to him and at the last second I pounced and grabbed his ribs making him yelp. We all started to laugh, except Leo.

"Seriously Callie?" Leo says holding his sides

"You weren't moving, I had to get you up." I reply, he mutters something I couldn't hear.

"Any how back to the matter at hand." Annabeth says after finishing laughing, even Percy looked better, but not really all there.

"Percy, what was it this time?" Annabeth asked

"I'm not really sure, I didn't see any thing I just heard a voice." percy said

"Was that voice familiar?" Nico asked

"I'm not sure." percy stated

"Was it female?" Annabeth asks

"No, definitely male." he said, I heard her mutter 'okay then it's not Gaea',that seemed to calm her down a bit

"Was it a god ?" I ask

"If it was, I didn't recognize them." he replied. Then Grover came out of a bush with some food.

"Did I miss something?" He asked

"No just you best friend having another nightmare." I say through a sigh under my breath, Nico smiled, oh no he heard me. I nervously smiled back.

"Where were you Grover?" Annabeth asks, he doesn't reply, just stares into the distance.

"Grover?" I ask, no answer. Nico stands up to get his attention, then he stops in his tracks. We all look over to see Hera, queen of the heavens.
