Tonight Tonight By Hot Chelle Rae.

~Annabeth's POV~

It started as a boring day, until Amelia and Eric came in the Athena cabin, slightly out of breath.

Looking at them both strangely, they practically dragged me away from my bed and book, to the door.

Feeling more confused they made a portal and dragged my along, as I stumbled through, we showed up in a big ball room, with a few couches, a coffee table, a desk and chair, two thrones, and a booth in the right back corner of the room, from looking at the throne. Looking at the right front corner of the room were two pairs of French doors.

I knew that the door closer to the booth was the way to the hallway, and the one closer to the wall was to the bedroom, that Percy and Michaela uses most of the time.

Shaking out of my thoughts, I looked around to see Michaela (who was laying down on a couch), Nico (who was stroking through her hair as her head laid in his lap), Amelia, and Eric, who was just starting to sit down on another couch.

I walk over to a couch, and sit. "What are we doing here?" I asked.

Nico, Amelia, and Eric share a look. I turn to Michaela, to see her breathing like she was asleep and how Nico held her, I knew she was sleeping.

"We want to cheer Aunt Michaela up." Amelia replied, shrugging.

"Why is she so..." I trailed off, not knowing how to word it.

"Sad." Amelia supplied.

"Upset." Eric suggested.

"Depressed." We all turn to Nico, as he added the word into the conversation.

"I am not depressed." A new voice chimed in.

Turning my attention back to Michaela, who was sitting up next to Nico.

"Then why are feeling like this, Mom?" Eric asked, worry in his words.

Michaela smiled, a small smile, but a smile none the less. "I..." She took a deep breath before continuing. "I feel like...there's something wrong...with Percy." She sighed out.

"What do you mean?" I asked, feeling concerned for him.

"Is he being tortured again?" Nico asked casually, like he knows that Percy gets tortured a lot.

My eyes widen in shock. "Is he?!?" I yelled.

Michaela shook her head. "He's not getting tortured, it's something else."

"What is it?" Amelia asked.

Michaela shook her head again. "I have no idea."

We spend a few moments in silence, thinking and not knowing what to say, mostly on my part.

"Come on. Let's go do something." Michaela stood, as she broke the silence.

"Do what?" Nico asked, standing up next to her.

"Well, we have the training room cleared again..." Michaela suggested.

"YES!" Amelia and Eric yelled, before running out the door.

I laugh with Michaela and Nico, as we made our way out the door and followed Amelia and Eric, though we couldn't see them, they ran too fast.

"So, how many times has Percy been tortured?" I asked in the silence.

Michaela laughed and explain that it happens, and she didn't even know how many times.

The rest of the day was spent training, swimming (which was unfair for Nico and I), sparring, and most of all a day of family fun.

And, in moments like these I truly regret that I had broken it off with Percy.
