NICO

The Zeus cabin is possibly my least favourite place ever. I hate it. Absolutely hate it. And of course I'd never had reason to be in here till now.
Will took my cabin, as it's dark and easier to sleep in with a concussion. So I'm left in the only other empty cabin. Jason's.
I can feel myself losing the tiniest bit of control over my mind. And I just know that when I fall asleep, Zeus will have full reigns.
I move to the bottom bunk, sit down carefully. I can hear the air, somehow. The hairs on my arm stand up. It's dark and I can hardly keep my eyes open. I can't stay awake.
I close my eyes and pray for a moment.
'Hi Jason's dad. Zeus. Uncle...sorry. Uh. I would really appreciate it if you didn't...um...give me nightmares? If you could just leave it for today? Feel like I helped save the world that one time and maybe we can call this even? Would appreciate it. A lot. Okay. Amen and all.'
I lie back and curl up and in an instant I see Jason beside me. And I know exactly where we are. With Cupid.
'Oh you are kidding me.' I say to myself. Jason looks to me, confused.
'You okay, man?' He asks.
'I'm great.' I say, sarcastically, 'just great.'
