Annabeth was extremely comfortable, snuggled up against Percy. The feeling of his arms around her was the best feeling in all of cosmos.

Why are the flames red, of all colours?

Okay, that thought was disturbing, bit why was it so again?

Shit. She shouldn't have thought about it.
Suddenly, her head was spinning and black spots started dancing in front of her eyes.

She was falling. But how? Wasn't she sitting beside Percy?
But falling was good. She had fallen for Percy. Hard yet perfectly.

Where is Percy?

Annabeth looked around but couldn't find him. Suddenly, she started to panic.

"Percy!"

"No! Please, I can't do this without you!"

"Percy? Where are you?!"

She had started crying now.

That's when she felt strong arms get wrapped around her.

"Wise girl, snap out of it, please. I know you can, I love you, Annabeth. You have a life ahead of you. You're okay. I'm here. We're together."

She was scared. What if she opened her eyes to a dark place?

"Annabeth please, for me."

The voice broke. It was her Seaweed brain. She had to wake up, she had to open her eyes.

She did. Gradually.

Immediately she wrapped her arms around Percy's neck and his her face in his chest as the previous events tan through her mind.

"Chiron, we need to talk to you, now."

---------------Where are you now?-------------

"No."

It was a strict reply. Percy had Annabeth on his lap and -- from what it seemed like-- the fit, she was exhausted. Her eyes were drooping but she strained to listen to the conversation

"Chiron, listen."

"Yes Percy? You have explanations?"

"We have been through that hell together. From what I've experienced from my past week of nightmares, only seeing her calms me down. I think it's the same for her. I don't know about myself, but I definitely don't want her to go through more pain."

Chiron's face softened a little.

"Okay, my child. I trust you enough. You should've told this earlier."

Percy smiled and looked down at Annabeth, only to find her asleep.

"I'll carry her to my cabin, then"

-----------I'm doing this a lot, I know-------

As Percy reached his cabin, he pushed open the door and layed Annabeth on his bunk, careful not to wale her up.

He joined two beds together and climbed on to one himself.

Wrapping his arms securely around Annabeth, he too drifted to sleep.

You never know if you have a dreamless sleep, but then again fear has to be suppressed or it suppresses you.
