Percy Jackson's messed up Life

Where's Percy At?

     Annabeth's POV

     I woke up in the middle of the night trembling in fear. My sheets were drenched in sweat, as well as me. I sat up in bed, still trembling.

Cursed Nightmares

     I got out of bed as quietly as possible, tiptoeing to the door. I shivered at the cold floor on my sensitive feet, opening the door. I cool breeze blew through my hair, making it even messier than before. It didn't matter.

     I stepped outside, pushing the door shut slowly until I heard a soft click. I let go of the knob. A harpy saw where I was going and left me alone. I don't know how Nico got over his nightmares.

     He probably doesn't sleep.

     I shivered as dew on the grass wet the bottoms of my feet, soaking my sweatpants. I ignored it and pushed on until I got to cabin three. I pushed the door open slightly, peeking inside. I couldn't see anything so I opened it a bit wider, letting the moon illuminate the room. I could see, but there was another problem. Percy was gone. I tried not to panic and searched his cabin.

     Where are you Percy?

     I knocked softly on the bathroom door. I heard no rely and pushed it open, reaching my hand in a switching on the lights. They flickered for a second, and I could have sworn I saw glowing eyes.

     Just your imagination.

     I stepped inside and looked around, slightly panicked. I shut the light off and ran out of the cabin. My feet hurt from cutting my feet on the rocks on the forest floor as I headed to the beach. I felt my blood pounding in my head.

     Where are you?

     I ran onto the beach, looking around for the silhouette of Percy against the sky. I listened for the slashing of water. Nothing. I ran onto the dock my feet pounding on the wood. I felt splinters fill my feet but I didn't care. I looked over the edge of the dock into the water.

     This isn't funny Percy.

     My breathing got rigid as I looked around again, only a sliver of hope to find him. Seeing nothing, the hope floated away like a helium balloon released by a five year old, crying at their lost balloon.

     I was that five year old as I dropped to my knees. "Percy!" I screamed desperately, and cabin lights flickered on seconds after.

     I looked over into the water as footsteps pounded towards me. I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder gently. I looked up and saw Piper as well as the rest of the seven, Nico, Thalia and the Stolls.

     "What happened Annabeth?" Piper asked in a gentle yet urgent tone. I felt a tear run down my face.

     "He's gone." I whispered. There expressions turned grim.

     "I had a nightmare and I went to go him, because he lets me sleep with him." I sniffled a little bit before continuing. "And he wasn't there. I looked everywhere. He's gone." Piper pulled me into a hug as she barked orders the rest of the group.

     "Search every inch of this place, top and bottom!" She ordered. They nodded and ran off still in pajama's, while I sobbed into her shoulder as she rubbed my back and whispered sweet nothings in my ear.

Percy's gone. Again.

     "You should go to your cabin. Malcom can sooth you while I look along with the others, alright?" She asked, holding my out at arms length.
