A/N: This is my first story, so please be nice! Critics are very much needed, but please express your thoughts NICELY!
Merissa POV
Sometimes I hate my life. No, really, I'm hunted by monsters who would love to eat me. I am the only daughter of Poseidon at camp. And to add to that, my scent is stronger to monsters because not only am I a daughter of Poseidon, I am also a granddaughter to Apollo! I know, I know, there are also plenty of good things, like how my mom lives close by in Manhattan and I have amazing friends. But even friends can be hard. Even as a demigod you have drama. Now onto the story!
I'm alone. It's dark. There is something sinister about the dark. It is as if all light has been sucked from the world, not just this room. Hello, little demigod. The cruel voice sounds vaguely familiar.
"Who are you?"
My frightened voice echoes in the room. You don't recognize me? Why, I am hurt, Daughter of Poseidon. Think back to when you were new. Remember the first hellhound? It was more dangerous, its senses more enhanced, and it was much larger than an average hellhound. She had my blessing.
"You m-must be Erebus."
My voice, if possible sounded more frightened than earlier. Ah, you finally recognize me. I will enjoy seeing you break. I will not visit you in a dream again, but prepare to face trials. I want to see how much you can take before you break.
"I am not going to break."
My voice sounds more confident. Then the voice comes again, one last time. I will break you. I will destroy your life. Your friends will die.
"What about me?"
This time the voice is silent. All of the sudden, I am falling, falling into a bottomless pit.
I woke up, sweat pouring down my face. How had Erebus, of all beings, made me feel so vulnerable in a dream? Than again, Leo was almost killed in a dream by a sorceress. That was horrible. I felt so open. I have to tell Chiron. I slide out of bed and sneak towards the door, trying not to wake Percy. I make my way to the Big House in the dark. I walk up the steps onto the porch. I knock on the door and wait nervously before the door. Chiron opens the door, a tired and concerned look on his face.
"Merissa, what is wrong?
I answer quickly. "I had a dream about Erebus. He said he is looking to destroy us. I think he is going to be a huge threat."
Chiron sighs. "I suspected as much. Sleep while the night is here. We will call a meeting in the morning."
Sorry it's kind of short. I'll try to write a longer chapter tomorrow. Do you like it? Anything I need to change? Please give your opinion on this chapter.
