(Reader POV)

Annabeth called a meeting for us about two hours after Leo had woken up. "Okay, so, after we get to the stronghold, Percy, Jason, and Frank will go in and locate Leo. You guys know you'll have to fight your way to him. When you locate him, get the Hades out of there." "Umm.... Leo told me he had a plan about this." I explained his plan to everybody. Everybody looked at me. "What?" I asked. Percy was the first one to speak. "He told you?" he said. "Well, yeah. Apparently he can see and hear dream-me and vice versa."

After the meeting, I started on a picture of what Leo looked like in my first dream. I roughed in the tears in his shirt, the tangles in his curly hair, and cuts on his arms. "Whatcha drawing?" I screamed and jumped off the bed. "Nico, why are you in my quarters?!?" I asked, realizing he'd been right behind me. "Checking in on you. I heard about the battle, and how Leo was taken hostage," he said. "Well, I'm doing fine, and if you don't get out of my quarters, then I'm going to kick you out, literally," I said, gesturing towards the door with my pencil

(Leo's POV)

I was bored, and I knew (Y/N) wasn't going to be asleep already. It'd only been two or three hours since I'd woken up. I'd lost count of how many days I'd been a hostage. I rubbed my face and felt something rough against my palm. I reached into my tool belt and pulled out a small piece of scrap metal. I looked at my reflection and noticed the small changes in my appearance. I had grown stubble and a whole lot thinner. 'Well,' I thought to myself. 'I hope (Y/N) likes her guy with stubble and a whole lot thinner.' I put my head down and smiled to myself. My head snapped up when the telkhine walked in and set down the food tray. "What's your name?" I asked. He looked at me. "Doesn't matter. You don't need my name if you're to serve your purpose," he said. "Yeah, well, I would prefer it if I knew the name of who was bringing me food," I thought about another way to get this guy's name. "Still not important," he walked away. "Well, fine then," I kicked the tray over again.
