(Reader POV)

I stood at the helm of the Argo II, taking over for Leo, who was hostage somewhere. Leo.....my handsome and funny boyfriend, along with builder of this magnificent ship. He'd only been missing for a week, and I was really missing his company. The way he smiled, his laugh, his strong hands around my waist. Coach Hedge came up and relieved me from duty. I went downstairs, sat on his bed in my room, and looked at the drawings I'd done of him. The one of him in his tuxedo from the dance, the one of me curled up next to him. I thought about starting Just A Kiss, which was our song, but thought better of it. Instead I started See You Again, since it gave me hope. I thought back to my dream from last night. I was pretty sure is find him, someway or another. Then I thought about the kiss we'd shared that morning, the last one from before he'd gotten taken.

I buried my face in his pillow, probably for the billionth time that morning, and breathed in the scent of smoke and wood that was his. I read the note I'd found underneath his pillow a week ago. I started crying again as I longed for another kiss. Annabeth came in and sat down. "I know how you feel. I felt the same way when Hera swapped out Percy with Jason," she said, patting my shoulder. "I don't doubt that," I mumbled into the pillow. "I'd think that it's a trap. They have a male demigod, and if you try to free him then they'll capture you and they'll have a female demigod, too." I shot up. "Are you telling me to not look for him?" I asked, outraged. "No, I just meant-" "If Percy was taken hostage, would you leave him?" Tears started streaming out of my eyes. "(Y/N), I just meant that when we find him, then one of the guys should rescue him," Annabeth back pedaled. "Then just let me use your invisibility cap," I buried my head in Leo's pillows again. "Okay, but we'd have to figure out where he is before I can formulate a plan," Annabeth said, leaving.

I spent the rest of the day sitting in Leo's bed, only getting out to go to dinner. I listened to Just A Kiss, while the others came in a tried to comfort m, but eventually left in exasperation. I didn't want comfort, I wanted Leo. I wanted him back so bad that I spent most of the day crying. I didn't want Percy or Frank holding me as I cried, I wanted Leo's arms around me.

That night, I sat in his bed when I remembered the night we watched the stars. I went above deck with one of his blankets wrapped around me. I sat on the foredeck behind Festus and looked at our star. "Festus, do you miss Leo?" I asked the bronze dragon head. Festus creaked, which I took for a yes. I could only hope that Leo was conscious and able to see our star, too.

I fell asleep at the bow, right bend Festus. I had a dream similar to the dream from the night before. I saw Leo chained to a wall, but this must've been a real-time dream, because he looked the same as he'd been that morning. I almost kissed him, but thought better of it, even though I felt like I needed a kiss. The telkhine from the night before was there, but there was an empousa instead of a dracena. The telkhine said something, but I couldn't hear it. As they got closer, the empousa said something, and I heard the telkhine reply, "I'm sure that it'll take them a while to find our stronghold. We are under her father's temple closest to Mount Olympus." "Not so loud, fool!" I heard the empousa say. "You never know if she's dream-spying on us," the empousa whacked the telkhine upside the head. I turned back to Leo and kissed his cheek. "Don't worry. I'll come soon." I woke up to Hazel shaking my shoulder. "C'mon, (Y/N). It's time for breakfast."
