"What was that supposed to mean?" fang said ounce Percy had fallen asleep.

I shrugged my shoulders. We all stayed up a little longer. Gazzy and Iggy were taking about bomb making. Nudge was telling Angle the latest fashion. So that left Fang and me.

"So what do you think about how he told Angle had seen thing that would make people crazy?"

"I don't know," he said "he's seen pain I can tell by the way he walks around always on guard. I stepped on a stick and he just about jumped out of his skin."

"Yeah it's just-"there was a long groan from the corner Percy was in. we all looked over at him. His teeth were clenched and his face was beaded with sweat. He then let out a yelp of pain.

"What's wrong with him?" asked Gazzy.

"Bad dream? This must have been what he was talking about."

"He gets dreams like this all the time?" asked Iggy.

"How bout I give him a good one." Said Angle "ill been in and out he'll never know I was there."

"Angle I don't know he said-"

"Oh it's not like he's been through anything worse than us. I'll be in and out."

She sat down and closed her eyes. She was sitting there for about a minute when Percy spoke from the corner. "What Angle how did you- Angle no! Agh!" Percy screamed. But then Angle let out an even longer scream. Percy woke with a start. "No no no no no!" he grabbed our bowl of water and ran over to Angle who had fallen on her side. He sat crossed leg and pulled her up into his lap. Angle was crying.

Percy turned to Fang "jacket give me now!"

Fang threw it to him "alright but why do you need my-"Percy ripped it in half "hey what was that for!"

He wasn't paying attention though. He dipped half the fleece jacket in the water and gently lifted up angles shirt to revile a beep wound. I gasped. But Percy didn't even look up.

He stroked angles head "alright Angle it's a good straight cut. It was only an arrow it's not poisoned so that's good." He ran his finger along the wound. Which made her wince. "Sorry. Well it should be pretty easy to heal just hold still." He placed the jacket on the wound and closed his eyes in concentration. He had placed on her side the whole time. Angle kept crying even though she didn't look in pain any more she was mumbling things I didn't understand.

"Falling –falling-falling"

Percy stroked her head "shh shh Angle you aren't there! Focus on my voice you are in a cave with me ok now wake up." She slowly opened u her eyes and gasped for breath. She then sat up and started crying into Percy's shoulder.

"It's all Right Angle. It's ok. How do you feel?"

She sniffled "better but Percy your-"

"Doesn't matter right now ill deal with it ounce you're asleep. Now get some rest alright. I'll be right here if you need me." And with that he laid her down on her side and she went to sleep. He then slid down the wall holding his side.

"What just happened? What-"he stopped me without even looking up he answered me.

"I will answer all your questions in just a minute but if you don't mind I would rather not bleed to death." With that he gently pulled off his shirt to reveal three long claw marks down the length of his chest. "Stupid hell hound." He mumbled. He placed the cloth on the wound and closed his eyes. About five minutes later he opened his eyes and removed the cloth. Where the wounds had been wee now just scars. All most his whole body was covered in scars and I don't think they all came from the school.

"Ok so here's what happened." He started. "I was having a dream like usual. But for some reason Angle decided t enter my mind. I think she was trying to give me a better one or something. I don't know she didn't say. Well this dream was a memory of a place that I've been to with Annabeth. I was in the middle of a fight with Annabeth against an army of monsters. Bob and Damasen a-are" he choked up. He coughed "um well uh yeah the memory is going just as it happened then out of nowhere Angle comes in. I try to fight my way towards her so I can pull her out of the memory but then I get jumped by a hell hound. While I'm fighting it I see a centaur aiming at Angle. I'm able to knock the arrow of course but it still grazed her. And for that I'm truly sorry. I just hope she doesn't have nightmares."

Fang scoffed "oh it's not like you've been through anything worse then we have. I mean at least you have a mom and a home."

Percy's eyes light with fire. "Have you held up the sky? (He said gesturing to a distinct grey streak in his head) Have you had your memories wiped then thrown into the camp of the enemy? Did you have to find your way through the Labyrinth? Have you been in two wars? Have you been to Tartarus? Where the water is made of fire. The air is acid. And the ground you walk on is literally the body of a being that later appears to you and two of your friends sacrifice themselves to save you!"

There was a moment of silence while Percy stared into Fangs eyes. Till nudge spoke meekly "all that happened to you?"

Percy sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Look I'm sorry. I know your lives have been bad to. Friends?" he held his hand out to fang. Fang looked at it then he did something strange: he smiled and shook Percy's hand.

"Anyone with a track record like that I'm definitely alright with hanging out with." Percy laughed.

I stopped them "wait I have one question. Why is it that Angle and you were bleeding?"

He sighed "I'm really sorry about Angle. That's why I told her not to enter my mind when I sleep. Me, Annabeth, and Nico have bad dreams every night like most demigods. Only unlike others we are the only mortals or demigods that have been to Tartarus. Even the gods have never been. Well science we got back whenever we get injured in a dream we get hurt in the real world too. That's why I always sleep with my sword cause if I ever die while dreaming I will die for real."

Everyone was silent. "Well I didn't mean to bring every one down like that." Percy smiled. "Well why don't you guys get some sleep its gonna be a long flight to New York tomorrow. I'll take first watch.

"I'll stay up with you." I turned around to see who had spoken. It was Iggy.

Percy smiled "sounds great Ig."

And with that all of us went to sleep.
