I was startled awake when Thais accidentally fell asleep and crashed us into a tree. I shook my head like I was getting water out of my ears and tried to see what had happened.
"Is everyone OK?" I yelled, voice muffled by dust. I heard a groan to my left-Annabeth- and a cough from shotgun, "Thais?" I coughed through the haze. I heard a weak mumble from the drivers seat. I shoved the car door open with a loud creak and stepped out, legs shaking a bit. I walked around and surveyed the damage-nothing to bad, surprisingly. Then I opened the drivers seat and placed Thais into the back of the car, ignoring her complaints. Taking drivers', I looked back. Annabeth looked a bit dusty, and Percy had a small cut on his forehead. Thais, on the other hand, was asleep. I had to resist the urge to laugh when she let out a soft snore. That girl could sleep through everything. I reversed the car and pulled back into the highway, "So, no injuries?" I asked. Percy and Annabeth shook their heads. I looked at them calmly, "I won't bite, you know," I said reassuringly.
"She didn't sleep for four days in a row!" Annabeth exclaimed, her grey eyes sparkling, "The amount of energy needed..." She stopped when Percy jumped in,
"We told her to pull over and rest, but she... well... held us at dagger point." He gave a nervous laugh, looking at Thais, "She sure packs a punch," He added, rubbing his arm. I looked more closely at the two kids. They looked exhausted. I pulled over and turned off the car, handing them each a blanket.
"Nap-time," I commanded, and Percy yawned his agreement. Annabeth fell asleep first. Percy shifted and cleared his throat.
" What is with you two?" He demanded, "One second you're all mushy and then you're yelling at each-other."
I shook my head, forcing a smile,
"Well, Percy, there's a thing called marriage..."
"What? You guys are-
"No, no!" I laughed at his stupidity, "It was arranged for Thais to marry my brother ... Well..." I hesitated, unsure how to add on to the sentence.
Percy glanced at me, "So you don't like you're brother...?" He finished, and I nodded.
"You would'nt either," I muttered, leaning back, "So, I warned Thais-
"About?"
I rolled my eyes, "My brother," I said, like I was explaining to a five-year-old, "But she did'nt listen. I'm sure you heard the rest when we fought."
An awkward silence filled the car.
"You really love her, don't you." Percy stated. I turned to look at Thais' sleeping form and nodded.
"I'm sure you feel the same about Annabeth," I said quietly. This got no response, but I knew he was blushing.
I had almost fallen asleep when I saw a sillouette cross the front of the car. And I recognised it.
It was the monster that put me in a coma.
