Will's POV
I woke up to screaming.
Deafening screams of pure terror.
I ran out of the Apollo cabin and into the green trying to pinpoint the source of the screaming.
"Will it's Nico" Rosy responded behind me.
I didn't even think I was running across the camp towards cabin thirteen.

Nico lay on his bed dressed only in his boxers covers thrown off the bed screaming in his sleep and Crystal was trying to get him to wake up.
"Why is he screaming?" I ask already knowing the answer.
"It's he's he's have his nightmares of Tartarus again" she sobbed her face covered in tears.
I sat down on the bed and pulled the small boy onto my lap and hugged him stroking his hair.
"Come Darlin it's just a dream wake up" I whispered in his ear, "please wake up".
He stopped screaming bloody murder but was now shaking in my arms.
"Shh it's okay your okay your in your cabin with me" I whisper.
He was still shaking so I started singing softly in his ear, "You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are gray,
You'll never know dear how much I love you,
Please don't take my sunshine away"
Nico stopped shaking and pulled away to look at me his beautiful brown eyes still full of fear, he looked me in the eyes and broke down again, sobbing into my shirt and clawing at my back.
" It's okay Darlin it was just a nightmare"
"Can can you sing again?" He sobbed into my shirt, calming down a bit.
"Anything for you angel" I said and kissed his forehead, "You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are gray,
You'll never know dear how much I love you,
Please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear,
While I lay sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms,
When I awoke dear I was mistaken,
So I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are gray,
You'll never know dear how much I love you,
Please don't take my sunshine away."
"You have a nice voice" Nico sleepily mumbled when I had finished.
I laid him back on the bed, covered him up and, was about to go back to my cabin since it was about one in the morning when Nico turned to me, "Stay with me?" he moaned making grabby hands.
"Of course Darlin" I comforted pulling him back onto my lap stroking his silky back hair.

Not the happiest chaptie but I thought I was really cute, I'll have a couple more fluff chapters before the plot twist (maniacal laughter) so,
Peace Out
