Don't ask how I got this idea. Cause I don't know...
I dunno what this is.
I honestly don't.

I Thought It Was A Dream
Annabeth pulled her sweater closer to her as the breeze chilled her spine. She longed for her coat but she left it in her dorm in hurry to get to work.
Annabeth begins to pick up the pace.
She was tired after doing a double shift before closing the library. She walks alone on campus as the other girl who helped in the library-Ella had a date with her boyfriend Tyson and left early. And Annabeth may or may have not fallen asleep and woken up a few hours after she was supposed to leave.
Annabeth was so going to kill Drew for inviting friends into their room at 2:00 am.
Annabeth glanced around her in the darkness as she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She walked a bit faster wishing a campus bus would appear but with Mr. D in charge the buses never had a proper schedule. Welcome to Olympus University...
A foot step causes Annabeth to freeze. Her hand goes into her pocket searching for her key chain with its pepper spray attached. After a moment she keep walking.
More footsteps. Annabeth picks up the pace and then gracefully slips scraping her hand. She curses and stands ignoring her arm which is a bit red and a tiny bit of blood on it.
"Mmmm. You smell delicious..." A voice says.
Annabeth breaks into a run but still ready to fight anyone off. She had taken self defense for a reason.
She is stopped as a hand grips her arm pulling her behind a building too fast for her to react.
Annabeth throws punches and kicks all of which make contact but the hand on her wrist doesn't release. She had dropped her pepper spray and was really wishing she hadn't lost her knife.
"Let me go!" She shouts.
"A feisty one aren't you?" Comments the voice.
Annabeth is whirled around and her eyes meet sea green. But as Annabeth looks into them they turn bright red.
"Pretty too," he says pulling her into the light. Annabeth can see his mouth extended into a smile.
Red eyes, jet black hair, taller than her, about her age, and a lopsided cocky smile. But what is the strangest to Annabeth is his fang like canines.
Despite this Annabeth, she laughs.
The boy stops smiling and cocks his head to one side obviously not used to being laughed at.
"What's so funny?" He growls.
"Because this is a dream. Vampires don't exist. I'm still asleep in the library. I've just been listening to Drew rant about Twilight too much."
"Don't mention that evil thing," He says shaking his head. "I'm going to kill the woman who wrote that one day. Portrays my kind all wrong."
"Your kind?" Annabeth scoffs attempting to pry her wrist from his grip. Surprisingly he releases her.
"Yes my kind," He says simply.
"And your kind hate Twilight?" Annabeth asks playing along with this bizarre dream.
"Yes. We die in the sunlight. We do not become disco balls."
Annabeth laughs again.
"Your a strange one."
"I'm not a one. I'm Annabeth, Mr. Dream Vampire."
The boy crosses his arms. "Your not dreaming and that isn't my name."
"Yes I'm dreaming. If this was real- which it isn't- you would have sucked my blood by now. Not have had a conversation with me."
"I'm not allowed to play with my food?" The boy asks. "You can try and run but I'm faster."
"Uh huh. Of course you are." Annabeth says. "Well I'm done with this dream so I'm gonna walk away now. Mr. Dream Vampire."
"Percy," The boys says. "My name is Percy."
"I like my name for you better."
"You going to eat it or talk to it!" A girl's voice shouts. "I saw the cute blonde that way!"
"Go ahead Pipes," Percy calls over his shoulder. "Go find your blonde."
"Have fun with yours!" 'Piper' shouts back.
Percy rolls his eyes and turns back surprised to see Annabeth still stands there.
"I'm not your blonde," she states with a glare.
Percy holds up his hands in an I surrender notion. "No you're not. You're food. Talkative food."
"Well go drink someone else blood if you don't want to talk Mr. Dream-"
"It's Percy," he says cutting her off. "And I actually wasn't planning on feeding tonight. Piper wanted me to see the blonde she had been stalking. The only reason I came after you is because your blood smells so good."
"Thanks?" Annabeth says. She examines her hand with the small drop of blood. She holds it up for Percy to see before licking the blood off her hand.
Percy makes a sound between an annoyed whine and a growl.
Annabeth gives a laugh. "I'm gone. See you eventually Percy."

Annabeth groans and stretches waking up. What a weird dream.
Thank gods it's Saturday. She had shockingly slept in breaking her record. It's almost noon. She grabs her phone scanning txts.
A while later Annabeth meets up with her friends...
"Hey," She greets. Reyna, Rachel, Thalia, Will, Leo and Frank give her a hey back. Jason continues staring ahead. Thalia gives her younger brother a whack.
The two then begin to bicker. Annabeth rolls her eyes and sits down with them.
"So what's got you so lost Jason?" Annabeth asks taking a sip of her coffee.
"Saw this weird girl last night," he answers. Eyes all turn to him and he stops.
"Well?" Thalia asks. "Who is this girl and when can I meet her?"
"Slow down Thals. I just saw her. Well I see her a lot. I saw her when I was coming back from the gym."
"Describe her."
"Brown hair, with a feather, really pretty, and the weirdest thing were her eyes. They seemed to change color but they kept turning red the most. Then when I went to go talk to her- since she keeps staring a guy with green eyes showed up. Then his eyes turned red too and-"
Annabeth nearly choked on her coffee. She grabbed Jason by the shoulders shaking him. "Did either of them say anything?!"
"Uh- no. She frowned and basically disappeared..."
Annabeth blinks and releases Jason. "I thought it was a dream," she murmurs.
She looks to her hand noticing the small scrape. She hasn't even thought about the cut this morning. She had assumed that it was part of the dream. Well... was it dream?
"Something wrong Annabeth?" Reyna asks. Annabeth shakes her head quickly and drags Jason out of earshot.
"What is wrong with you today?" Jason asks.
"Meet me outside the library at 11:00 okay?"
"What? Why-"
"Just do it."
~~~~
Annabeth waits outside the library impatiently. She glances at her watch 11:07.
It takes another ten minutes but Jason shows up.
"I'm here," He says. "Now what?"
Annabeth doesn't answer and begins to walk the way back to her dorm as she did the way before. She then heads behind the bundling where Percy had grabbed her.
She looks around and is about to call his name. When she suddenly considers what's happening. What if it is all true? Will they kill us? He didn't yesterday but...
Annabeth doesn't get another chance to think about it.
"Hey! Talking Food! Your back!" Out of the shadows come two figures. Percy and the girl Jason had described.
"Your that girl who's been following me," Jason states.
She nods a small blush on her face. "I'm Piper."
Percy rolls his currently sea green eyes.
"So this..." Annabeth starts but she trails off.
Percy nods. "This is real. I'm not a dream. I'm a Vampire named Percy."
Jason pales. "V-Vampire... did he just say vampire?"
Piper nods. "That's why I follow you at night. Despite how creepy that sounds..."
"Are you going to eat or not?" An annoyed voice says. Annabeth can't help but think it sounds strangely familiar.
"Not right now," Percy says.
More people emerge from the shadows. A olive skinned boy, a short dark skinned girl and a girl with cinnamon colored hair and almond eyes.
Then lastly comes a boy which causes Annabeth's heart to practically stop. He is the oldest, and has sandy blonde hair and blue eyes which flicker red. Even though he now has a large scar Annabeth is sure it's the same person. But she can't find her voice.
"What did I tell you two?" He asks looking between Percy and Piper. The two look at him and give him sheepish smiles. They look like a pair of siblings which had been caught with their hands in a cookie jar by their father.
The older boy groans and turns to face Jason and Annabeth.
His eyes widen. "A-Annabeth?" He asks quietly.
Annabeth blinks still confirming this is real. "Luke?"
