Nico POV
I am climbing a hill, the sound of death rings in my ears. It seems to ring a sad melody, like something you would hear in a black and white movie. When I reach the top of the hill, I am looking down an extremely steep incline that leads to a small stream and a tiny beach. By the stream lays a dead or dying woman in a white cotton dress, nearby a small boy lays unconscious in the sand. I can instinctively tell the woman is his mother.
"No…. they can… no!" I drop to my knees in despair. It seems like a scene from a movie. The coloring in my dream is off, not black and white but just strange. The boy stirs in his sleep; the only sound is rushing water. I turn around to face the hill and see a creepy run down Victorian mansion at the bottom of the hill. When I turn back around, the boy and the woman are gone.
I open my eyes and try to sit up in bed, but something is restraining me from doing so. I realize Percy still has his arm around my torso. My heart feels like a wild pack of hellhounds. I pant and put my hand to my aching forehead.
My breath leaves me and I fall into darkness again.
She is in my dreams again, the dead woman I mean.
She sits on an old fashion porch swing all around us is endless woods.
"Sit." She commands, so I do. We sit there swinging for a couple minutes.
"The end is near for you." She turns her head to face me.
"What do you mean? Who are you?" I ask, my body shakes and I feel emptiness in the bottom of my stomach.
"Don't worry about me, I'm gone. You, not yet; but too soon." She narrows her eyes.
"What do you mean!?" I ask, my body becomes ridged with anger and confusion.
"Won't be here too long."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" I scream.
Won't be here to long, ohh noo.
Camp Half-Blood, Billy POV
I pace across the hard wood floor of the sick room. The camp is in a state of chaos, demi-gods rushing around whispering about Hades breaking the rule, centaurs trying to calm everyone down even Joey has downed two jars of green olives. I can hear his spoon clanging on the bottom of the jar even from across the room.
"Joey…..."
"Yes?"
I rub my temples and hope to block everything out.
"Would you get another comfort food, something that involves less noise?" I ask angrily.
"My mother INVENTED the olive, plus they're nutritious."
I give him a look.
"What?"
"Roman is dying,"
"Don't say that!" He exclaims, even though Roman is too busy dying to care.
"Hades is dying, the gods are angry, and you are just sitting there eating olives!" I scream. I watch as my remaining best friend gets up and walks out of the room.
I went too far.
Whoo, that was a stressful chapter to write. I sure hope Nico doesn't DIE, that would be tragic!
