Sotiras' POV~ 

It all started when I was woken by a blood-curdling scream coming from the room next to mine. I hopped out of bed and almost threw the door off its hinges. Seismos was sitting on his bed shirtless cradling Sofos in his lap softly talking into her hair as she wept into his chest. He looked up and his eyes held tears threatening to spill.

"Tartarus Nightmares" He mouthed before continuing to talk softly to Sofos. I nodded knowing what he wanted me to do. 

I turned around in time to see my friends barrelling down the halls looking worried led by Estia, her frizzy golden blond hair was tied in a pony to keep it out of her face. I shut the doors to Seismos' room. 

"Everything's ok," I told them

"Bullshit I sensed fear, don't lie to me Sotiras. That scream belonged to Sofos" Estia got right up in my face "would you like to try that again? this time the truth" her voice was calm but I could tell from her eyes that wasn't how she felt. 

Her eyes changed colour depending on her emotions, it made it really easy to tell what she was feeling. Well that was when she wasn't paying attention enough to control it. Right now her eyes were red. She was angry.

She didn't like me much, so it wasn't a surprise she was mad, I knew why. She fought in the battle of Manhattan all of those years ago, she lost many of her siblings during the fight. The only reason she hasn't killed me yet is because Seismos asked her to give me a second chance, apparently she owed him a favour. We used to be friends before I... before I betrayed her.

Before I even got a chance to stop her she went passed me into the room, she glared at me before closing the door motioning for everyone to leave. They all turned around and left, she was their superior officer after all, they couldn't ignore a direct order. Ilios and Ombra stayed waiting for her. 

"She'll warm up to you eventually, I did. She just needs time" Ilios told me, his face was grim. Probably from the memories.

"It's been 1,000 years, you shouldn't give him false hope" Ombra chimed in

"Nico!" Ilios scolded him

"What do expect Will? she may have been almost 20 during the war, but she lost a lot of people who meant a lot to her"

"You're impossible" Ilios rolled his eyes

"You still love me"

"Do I?"

"Yes you do"

Ilios bent down and kissed Ombra's nose causing him to blush.

"Yeah I do" Ilios smirked triumphantly 

I cleared my throat and they turned to face me, Ombra went impossibly red and Ilios just laughed.

"Why wasn't she in her room?" I asked

Estia's room was to the left of Seismos' room and mine was to right. It looked like she came from the direction of their room which was to the right. Ilios and Ombra shared a look.

"It's nothing"

"Didn't seem like nothing to me Nico"

"Drop it Luke" He glared at me daring me to ask more questions. I shut up after that

Estia's POV~

"The point is-" I was cut off by the sound of a scream. I could sense fear coming from Sofos' room.

"Sofos," I told Nico and Will. We shared a look as we darted out of the room and down the hall. The other warriors came out of their rooms and followed me. 

When we got to Sofos' room, Sotiras was standing outside.

"Everything's ok," he told us.

"Bullshit I sensed fear, don't lie to me Sotiras. That scream belonged to Sofos" I got right up into his face "would you like to try that again? This time the truth". I kept my voice calm but I didn't bother trying to control my eyes, I wanted him to know I was angry. 

I hated him. It was because of him my friends died, so many of my siblings. He robbed so many innocent demigods of their chance at happiness.

I stormed past him and into the room. I waved everyone off before shutting the doors. I turned to face Sofos and Seismos. Emotions rolled off of them in waves. Seismos was sitting on his bed with Sofos in his lap, she was crying softly into his chest. He was muttering things to her and tears streaked down his face. I could just barely make out what he said to her.

"It's ok I'm right here, we made it out alive. Nothing will take you away from me again."

He looked up panicked when he heard the door shut, realising it was me he quickly calmed down. He probably didn't want the others to see them like this. Our eyes met and I used our mind link. 

'You two decent under there Blue?' I asked using my nickname for him

The corners of his mouth turned up into his signature lopsided grin. Sofos was wearing an oversized band shirt that I assumed belonged to Blue, he on the other hand was shirtless. Both of their bottom halves were covered by the duvet. 

'All I'm gonna say is that you're gonna want me to stay under the duvet'

'BLUE! I DID NOT NEED THAT MENTAL IMAGE' 

He chuckled out loud causing Sofos to become alarmed. She sat up and looked around the room. When she saw me she looked between Blue and me, realising what must've happened she smacked his head.

"What was that for?" He asked rubbing his head 

"Your such a Seaweed brain," She said chuckling.

Blue looked at her lovingly and wiped away her tears with his hand.

"are you ok?" He asked keeping his voice low. 

She looked down thoughtfully, her grey eyes were red and puffy from crying. I walked over to her slowly. 

"You don't have to talk about it now," I told her "If you want I can use my powers to help you go back to sleep, this time with no dreams?" I offered smiling at her kindly. 

"I wouldn't want you to overexert yourself," she told me sniffling. I shook my head

"We have a big day tomorrow remember? Chaos said he has an important mission for us." I could tell she was tired, she was also scared to go back to sleep in case the dreams returned. 

She nodded. I put my hand on her forehead and focused on feelings of peace. She yawned and put her head on Blues chest quickly falling to sleep. He brushed her blonde hair out of her face. He looked at me thankfully. 

"Sleep well" I told him

"you too"

I nodded and left. As soon as I stepped foot outside his room I collapsed. I felt strong arms wrap around my waist, I quickly jumped back, panicked and I saw who it was.

"Don't touch me again Luke" I glared at him. He looked taken aback at my anger. Nico and Will surged forward. He looked between them and me. Realisation flashed in his eyes. I knew he was about to ask questions and I didn't want him too. 

I told him before he left that I was ok. that I had worked through everything. I didn't want him to worry. but then he left me alone.

"Don't say a word Castellan" I turned and went into my room. Will went to say something but he thought better. I slammed the door shut. When I turned around someone I didn't expect was standing by the window. Things were about to get complicated
