Chapter Six: Just A Dream?

~Jason's P.O.V~

I sat bolt up right, shivering as a cold sweat went down my back. "it..it was just a dream" I breathed. "or was it?" asked a voice which I recognised straight away "nice try Thalia" I smirked and I heard her groan "spoil sport!".

She steppped into the light and sat  down on the end of my bed "hey, its good to see you" she smiled and I grinned back, "its good to see you too, what are you doing here anyway?" I asked and I saw her raise her eyebrows "not that im not glad to see you!" I added quickly and she let out a little laugh.  

"I came to see Annabeth," uh uh "she iris messaged me last week saying that shes got some new information on the monster weve been hunting£ she says, all leader like. Im pretty sure that my face went as pale as Nico's. "Jason? whats wrong?" she asked, concern showing in her voice and all over her face.

"..its Annbeth..."

~Percy's P.O.V.~

I held her to me, nothing else mattered. Our friends crowded round us but at a small distance. I kept my eyes locked with her stormy grey ones but they were already becoming slightly glazed over. "Ann-" my voice broke and I could feel the tears falling down my face. "i love you seaweedbrain" she whispered and her eyes closed, her tight grip on my hand now gone. I hugged her limp body and screamed her name....

My eyes fluttered open and I sat bolt up right. Pain seared through me and I collapsed back into the bed. Annabeth. Was it just a dream?..It must be a dream, my wise girl wouldnt die...would she? It..it just seemed so real..

Hurt. There wasnt one part of my body that wasnt aching, it felt like my bones were now made of led and they just refused to work. I breathed in shallow breaths, trying to ignor the pain. Everything was dark and my first thought 'im dead' but I managed to move my fingers agaisnt my side and I let out a sigh of relief which sent a shock of pain down my neck and into my chest. I squeezed my eyes shut to stop the tears that were threatining to escape. 'come on Percy, you can do this' I told myself. I balled my hands into fists and forced my eyes to open.

..and it was dark..

'what-?' A small light shone onto my face and I wouldve smiled if it didnt hurt to move. The celing was white, okay not really a good clue as to where I was. I slowly turned my head, letting out a groan as I winced. My head sunk deeper into the soft fabric under my head and the sweet satly smell of the sea hit me and I could help but smile this time. Right, I was in my cabin, but..

I thought for a few mintues as the memory slowly slipped into my head. I was in the woods with Nico.. I cant remember why.. but I fell asleep and he must have brought me here. I moved onto my  side, pain flared through me making me want to pass out. Through my blurry vision I could see cubes  of orange: ambrosia.

My hand trembled towards my bed side cabnet and I gripped the godly food like my life depended on it..which it probably did. I brought it shakily to my lips and stuffed the whole square into my mouth, biting it in half before swollowing. Imediatly I felt better, I didnt even know what was wrong with me, my whole body was just sore like I had been stampered my minators.  

I sat up slowly and blinked a few times as my eyes adjustd to the light. I was definatly in my cabin, everything was as I left it...apart from Nico whos head was on my desk. "Nico?" I whispr but he doesnt even flinch "Nico!?" i say a little louder and he moves his head with a quiet groan.

I rolled my eyes and stood up, wobbling a llittle so i held the bed post for support. I stayed like that for a few minutes, just until I could stand properly with out falling. I scooped up another block of ambrosia and braking it into two, placing half into my mouth and the rest back on the cabnet.

I felt strenght and energy coursing threw me, maybe even the slightest bit of adrenaline. I walked over to Nico, like I hadnt just been ready to pass out. His head was on some pieces on paper which I recognised as my drawing pad.. I didnt know Nico drew. I gently pulled it out from under him and looked at  his drawing, gasping in surprise. IIt was like looking into a black and white mirror.

"..woah.." The piercing sea green eyes looked up at  me. They were bolder and the only part with colour, meaning they were the ment to be the center of attention. The shape of the face was lightly etched and shaded a little then dark strandes of hair was drew. I looked in the mirror then back down at my new twin. I closed my eyes and counted to five then opened them again but the drawing was still there.

I looked at Nico with a slight smile and I placed the pad back on my desk. He was asleep, which should have been obvious before. I put one arm under his back and lifted him, he was light. I dont mean that to be nice (although im totally nice) I mean seriosuly it felt like I was carrying a corpse..

I carried him over to my bed then lied him down next to the wall, he sunk into the covers and curled into a little ball, hugging the pillow to him. I chuckled a little and nothing else seemd to matter. I couldnt think of anything  that would ruin the good mood I was now in.  I sank down slowly next  to him and closed my eyes, letting sleep take me yet again.

It felt like I had only just fell asleep but then next thing I knew i was being woken up to "what the hell Jackson?!".
