Percy woke up in a cold sweat with Annabeth by his side reading a book.
"What's wrong?" Annabeth asked shutting her book and throwing it on the floor.
"Nothing. Bad dream." Percy lied. Yes it was a very bad dream but something was definitely wrong.
"Okay. That happens a lot you know. When you're a demigod you get a lot of and dreams." Annabeth said matter of factly.
"I know. Trust me I know." Percy sighed. Annabeth took this as a sign that he was troubled about something.
"What's wrong? I can tell that something is bothering you." Annabeth pushes Percy for more information.
"The dream is bothering me. It was about Luke. He was talking to someone about how he didn't want to kill me and that it was only because he wanted to save me. It was weird but I felt like it meant something." Percy explained.
"What do you mean? Luke did want to kill you. How was he supposed to save you if he wanted to kill you?" Annabeth stood up from her chair and handed Percy his medicine.
"I don't need that. Not now. Luke was saying that the hologram was going to kill me if he didn't kill me. It's very complicated. You had to be there I guess." Percy shook his head and waved he medicine away.
"Wait a second. There was a hologram?" Annabeth asked.
"Yeah. The person that Luke was talking to was a hologram of something. I don't know what it was. I couldn't clearly see." Percy tried to remember what the hologram represented.
"I have to go get Mr. P. Stay right here." Annabeth charged out of the infirmary.
"Where else would I go?" Percy sighed. A couple minutes later Annabeth was talking with Mr. P.
"He said something about a hologram. A hologram means trouble. I don't know what to tell him." Annabeth whispered.
"I'll figure it out. Just stay with Percy. And go get some more medicine." Mr. P told Annabeth. Annabeth did as she was told and ran to the nurse.
"Percy! How are you recovering?" Mr. P asked.
"Well. What did Annabeth tell you and why are you here?" Percy questioned.
"Annabeth told me about a hologram. Is this true? Did you or did you not see a hologram Percy?" Mr. P asked. Percy had never seen him this serious before. He didn't like it.
"I saw Luke talking to a hologram. So yes, I did see a hologram. It's no big deal." Percy waved the matter away.
"Oh gods." Mr. P clapped his hands. All of the gods and goddesses came down from the sky and into the infirmary.
Percy wasn't surprised. He had been here for a while and had seen this happen many times.
"Perseus Jackson. What a nice surprise." Zeus gritted his teeth. He didn't like Percy and probably never would.
"Yes it is a very nice surprise indeed. How nice to see you again!" Aphrodite twirled her blonde hair.
"Okay let me just say this. It's never going to happen." Percy stuck his finger in the goddess's face.
"How harsh." Heat is comforted her sister as Aphrodite shed fake tears.
"What can we do for you brother?" Zeus asked Mr. P who was Poseidon.
"Percy has seen a hologram. You know what this means right?" Mr. P asked.
"I don't see what the big deal is to be honest." Percy threw his hands up in the air.
"Wait. This boy saw a hologram? When? In real life or in his dreams?" Athena instantly took out a notepad and jotted down a few notes about the situation.
"I think it's best if he explains." Mr. P gestured towards Percy.
"I was having a dream that Luke one of the guys that went here was talking to a hologram. Luke wanted to kill me but it turns out that he only pretended to that way the hologram wouldn't kill me himself. I don't know what it means. It doesn't seem too serious." Percy explained.
Annabeth waked into the room and dropped the tray that she was holding. She had seen her mother for the first time.
"Mother?" Annabeth cautiously walked to Athena. The goddess stared at her child. Athena never met Annabeth before, so you can expect Annabeth to be upset that her own mother didn't even recognize her.
"Daughter?" Athena guessed. Annabeth nodded. "What have you been up to lately?" The goddess glanced at her notepad trying to find a list of things to say in awkward situations.
"Let's get the focus back on Percy and his hologram issue shall we?" Demeter asked.
"I agree. Sorry mother. Can we talk some other time?" Annabeth asked. Athena nodded in relief.
"All I know is that holograms are never good. There was this one man that had a dream about a hologram and he died the next day because the hologram found out that the man was having a dream about himself and he was gone." Hera explained.
"So? That doesn't mean that the same thing is going to happen to me. Just relax. I know that everything is going to be okay." Percy lied. He was nervous. Really nervous.
"Percy it's okay to be nervous. I know you are." Annabeth squeezed Percy's hand.
"Okay fine. Maybe I am a little nervous. What can we do to help?" Percy looked around.
"We can supply protection. The good thing is you didn't say anything in your dream which means it's going to be harder for the hologram to find you." Athena nodded.
"That's a relief I guess." Percy shrugged.
"It is." Annabeth nodded.
"So what am I supposed to do now? Just sit and wait for something to happen to me? When am I going to be able to get back up?" Percy asked the passing nurse.
"Percy dear we talked about this. In around a week or so." The nurse replied sweetly and continued doing her work.
"So yes. You must stay here and just wait for something to happen to you. We'll be in touch." Zeus grinned. The gods and goddesses disappeared leaving an army of minor gods to guard Percy's door.
"They mean it Percy. They will definitely be in touch." Annabeth shivered.
Oh gods. Gods being in touch was never a good thing.
