Nightmares
After a while we all voted to camp here at a grassy field. I put my sleeping bag near the ocean. Why? I don't know, I guess it sorta calms me when I'm worried or stressed. I laid there in my dragon pajamas. I stared out into the ocean before I noticed Tyson watching me. "Leena?" He asked. "Yeah?" I replied. "You're thinking about him, aren't you? You're thinking about Jake?" He inquired. I nodded. "Tyson, Percy doesn't like me, does he?" I asked him slightly blushing. Tyson grinned. "Yeah, he can't stop talking about you. I can hear him muttering your name at night." He said. I grinned. "Thanks Tyson. Goodnight brother." I told him turning on my side to sleep. "Night sister." He replied. I closed my eyes only to regret it immediately.
"Hello there, friend." Said a rasping voice from inside my head.
"What?! What are you? Who are you?!" I asked it panicking.
"I'm a friend. I know about the future. You'll lose a VERY good friend soon. Beware..." It said drifting off repeating beware.
"No I won't! Percy, Grover, Annabeth and Tyson are my best friends, they'd never leave me! Besides, my own BROTHER wouldn't leave me either!!" I screamed at it.
"You keep thinking that girly. But beware of the future because it's not those humans you'll lose. You'll lose your metal dragon, Jake." It said leaving once more.
I bolted awake, sat up, started breathing hard, shaking and I started sobbing hysterically. Some of the others *cough**cough* Annabeth *cough**cough*woke up and noticed me but ignored me. "Leena what happened?" I heard Percy's voice ask. I looked up and say him with concern in his eyes seaweed green eyes. He was wearing blue pajamas with goldfish on them. I hugged him just cried some more into his neck as he hugged me back trying to get me to calm me down so I could explain the dream. "Hey, breathe. It'll be okay I promise. Now breathe." Percy cooed as I started to stop crying. I wiped my eyes after a while then I explained the dream to Percy. He was sympathetic and understanding. "I felt terrible yelling at Jake, Percy, I thought that when we got back to Camp that he'd be gone; rusted and submerged in the lake." I said as more tears leaked out of my eyes. "It's gonna be okay, Leena, I promise. Nothing's gonna harm Jake. Besides, you and Leo built him! Him and Jordon have got to be super tough before they let anything bad happen to them." Percy said hugging me tighter. I nodded. "Percy, could you sing me a song?" I asked sheepishly.
"Sure, what song?" He told me. "If I Die Young." I requested laying my head on his shoulder. He nodded and cleared his throat and begun.
"If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when
She stands under my colours, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life,
Well, I've had just enough time
If I die young bury me in satin.
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life,
Well I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life,
Well I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh oh)
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
The sharp knife of a short life,
Well I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls"
When he ended I smiled tiredly at him. "That was brilliant Percy. Thank you." I said hugging him again as we laid on my sleeping bag. "You're welcome, Leena." He replied. I fell asleep quick and no more nightmares came that night. Gods Percy is fucking perfect.
