I miss him. I miss Percy a lot. I loved him. I can not bare to see him away from me. I sighed. I am over thinking this. I was right now in Percy's cabin. Staring at the blue wall of his Cabin. Wondering if he was even alive. Don't think like that, I chided myself. To be honest, I sometimes wondered if it was my fault Percy got taken. Maybe if I stayed with him more or tried to protect him. I closed my eyes and laid on Percy's bed smelling the familiar sent of the ocean in the air. That is when I heard the conch shell. 

¨Welp time for lunch¨ I said to no one particular. It was not that I hated lunch. I just hated the fact that I got looks of pity. And I did not want looks of pity. I just wanted everyone to go back to what they were doing. I got up from the bed and reached for the door handle. I breathed in and out and then opened the door to have the bright sun light hit my face. I could smell all of the flowers even though cabin 3 was pretty far away from the Demeter Cabin. I walked outside to hear the birds singing. Everyone was quiet and was staring at me. This was one of the times I wish I had Percy with me. He would have told them to back of. He would have told them to go back to what they were doing. But I could not. The truth is that I am vulnerable without Percy. He is what makes me strong. But I feel so weak without him here, right by my side. I walk up to my table and sat down glaring at anyone who decided to give the look of pity while I walked by. I looked at my plate. I took some pizza from the nymphs that were passing by, giving the food, remembering to say thank you. I was not really hungry. I asked my goblet for coke. In reality I wanted blue coke, but that would just look weird. I ate in silence. Not wanting to talk to anybody. I really did not want to eat. But my brother would of forced me anyway. I decided to just eat because if I did not my brother would of forced me to eat a lot of food. Right now I am only eating a slice of pizza. Once I finished I decided to go back to my cabin. I opened the door and sat on my bunk. The gray walls of my cabin seemed to relax me and coaxed me to sleep. I have no more classes to teach today or attend I thought. I slowly drifted into Morpheus's realm.

Dream

I looked at the time. Oh no. I was late. Percy was taking me on our date. I looked at the mirror. This was the first time I was trying to dress up to impress so I was having trouble. I know Percy won't care about how I look, it is just that I want to look beautiful for my own pleasure. I looked at the mirror again for what is probably the tenth time today, in the past ten minutes! I was wearing a loose grey crop top with long sleeves. It had a silhouette of an owl painted in gold. I was also wearing a plain black pant under with grey converse's. I also had my owl earrings and owl necklace that Percy gave me for my birthday. The earnings were basically two studs but with grey owls. The necklace had the same owl but on a grey chain. I had my hair up in a high ponytail with only a little make up on my face, as I did not want to look fake. I quickly made my way out of my cabin. According to some Aphrodite daughter, I looked ¨hot¨. But I have no clue how. I am very ugly (Um... As if) I don't even now what Percy sees in me. I don't deserve him. While I was blabbing to myself, I had automatically walked to where my date was set up. It was on the beach. I sat down next to Percy. Then he rapped his arms around my waist.

¨Hey wise girl. You look pretty today. Are you trying to impress me¨ he said with a smirk. I blushed and rolled my eyes.

¨Well obviously not. I mean I am totally not on a date with my boyfriend right now." I explained. 

¨Chill, I was just teasing you.¨ he replied putting his hands up in surrender. I laughed at his silly antics. But that was only half of my mind. The other half of my brain wanted him to put his hands around my waist again. But my wish was granted by him doing so. He looked at me. We locked eyes. My intense grey staring at his calm sea green eyes that I get lost into every day. We slowly leaned towards each other. And then we closed the gap. Our lips connecting. That's when I was slowly getting pulled out of my dream and saw.... 

HERA!
