Ch. 1: The girl from my dreams
Nico
As Nico opened his eyes, the bright sunlight was shining on his face. As he looked around, Nico saw a sign that said "Long Island Sound". The air smelled like pine trees and wild blackberries. He was standing in the middle of a highway, the son of Hades didn't see any houses in sight. However, as he darted his eyes up ahead, there lay a farmers market. Nico decided to check it out. Once he got an across the street the son of Hades looked around the counter, wondering if Will would like any of this fresh fruit. The son of Hades smiled at himself. Nico and Will's relationship was going so well. After Gaea was forced back into her deep slumber forever, Nico and Will started to hit it off. But, his thoughts were interrupted by a loud crash. When Nico looked over, he saw a sales lady in her late forties and a girl who looked 14 or 15 picking up blackberries that fell out of the crate. The girl had straight black hair, with red dye at the end, that hung to her shoulders. Her skin had a soft tan. The girl's eyes were such a dark brown, it looked almost black. "Sorry," the girl mumbled. However, her expression looked as though she really didn't care. "That's ok," said the saleswoman in a high pitch voice sweetly. She had bright blonde hair and a very pale complexion. "I'll get Charlie to sweep it up," she said, before yelling, "Charlie!" "Yes?" screamed Charlie.
"I need your help, I got a... little mess."
"Not now Ssilvia!" "Ugh," sighed the woman. "Be right back dear." Nico has a strange feeling about the salespeople. But then the girl opened her bag and started stuffing fruit inside. "Hey," Nico said. But the girl didn't seem to hear him. He tried once more, nothing. But then suddenly the saleswoman and Charles who looked a whole lot like Tom Cruise, except he had dirty blonde hair, jumped out and turned into a dracaena. Just as Nico was about to draw his sword, the scene changed. He was now in a deep forest.
"She couldn't hear you, nobody could." He turned around and there stood a middle-aged man. He had buzzed cut hair, and was wearing a shirt that said: "If you dream, I'll be there." And his pants were a blue plaid.
"Who are you?" Nico asked the stranger. The man just sighed and looked up at the sky. "Are mortals these days so idiotic? Then again it has been a while since I delivered a message." "Ahem!" The man looked over. "Oh yes! I am Morpheus, the god of dreams, deliverer of messages. Thus, I have come to deliver a message to you," said Morpheus. "So who is the message from?" "I'm afraid I can not say the son of Hades," said Morpheus. "He told me to tell you to help her." "That's it?" said Nico. "He didn't say anything else?" "Actually yes, he said that she will arrive at camp soon." Nico wondered who this girl was and how he was meant to help her? Before he could ask Morpheus any more questions, he snapped his fingers and disappeared. Then everything went black.
Nico woke up with his head aching. He looked around and saw that he was back in his cabin at Camp Half-Blood. Oh, how good it was to be home!. Then he thought back to his dream. Maybe it really was just a dream. Of course, Nico knew better. For he wasn't just an ordinary teenager, he was a demigod, half god, and half mortal. Demigods' dreams were more like visions about friends or enemies. Camp Half-Blood was where demigods go to a safe haven and to learn how to battle monsters. It is also the only place Nico can really call home. But Once Nico got to his table, he looked around for Will, but he couldn't find him. He's probably in the infirmary, Nico thought to himself. Just as Nico was about to eat his pancakes, Connor and Travis Stoll were running towards him. "Nico", they yelled in unison. "There's a new camper", Connor said. "And she's calling your name", said Travis. "And Will's", said Conner. Nico has a million questions, why was this girl calling his name, and why Will? "Where is she?" "She's in Cabin 7", said Travis. Nico got up and ran to the Apollo Cabin. As he ran the son of Hades wondered if this girl could be the girl Morpheus was talking about. And if so who is her godly parent? Just as Nico was outside the cabin, he heard screaming. "Get it out already", he heard someone yell. The son of Hades swung open the door and there laid the girl from his dream. She was laying down on the table as Kayla Knowles held her down and Will was pulling a thin piece of wood that was about seven inches, out of her right arm. "Got it", said Will. Then Will got a towel and started to apply pressure to the wound. Will glanced over and saw Nico. "Kayla take over for me." "What's her story", Nico asked. "Not sure, she was just running up the hill with her arm and a backpack on her back. I wonder who her godly parent is? Maybe Ares." "I don't think so, something about her feels off," Nico told Will. He kept wondering who this girl was and why she was calling our names? "What's wrong?", asked Will. "Let's go outside", Nico suggested. As soon as they were outside, Nico told Will all about his dream and the message Morpheus gave him. "It has to be all connected. You sure she's the same girl?" Will asked. "Positive. What I don't understand is why was she calling our names", Nico wondered. Will just surged. "Hey, Nico!" Nico glanced over his shoulder and saw Valentina Diaz holding on to Rachel's shoulder. "What happened," asked, Will. "We were just sparing and I jumped, but my foot slipped", said Valentina. "I think she might have sprained her ankle", said Rachel. "Let me help you", Will offered. And so Valentina put her arm around Will's neck, and Rachel and Will carried her into Cabin 7. Nico followed them inside. Will was checking on Valentine's ankle, so Nico and Rachel decided to introduce themselves to the new camper. The new girl was studying a blade, as we approached. "Hi, my name is Rachel and this Nico. What is your name", Rachel asked. But just as the new girl looked up at Rachel, smoke started to come out of her mouth. The new camper just raised her eyebrows. As if saying, "That's a first". Then once Will and Valentina notice what was going on Valentina started screaming. "It's ok Valentina, she's just reciting a prophecy," Will reassured.
Old friends of six speak to the blind goddess of scale
Child of darkness will wear the bloody veil
All shall have to face their darkest fear
One must stand alone against the deer
Lover birds will be put to the test
You shall find what you seek, but must pay by debt
Then Rachel started to regain consciousness, "What happened?" "You just said a prophecy, whether or not it's another great prophecy, I do not know", Nico said. "What does it mean", Valentina asked. ''I don't know", said Will. All of the sudden there was a loud snort, and smoke was coming outside. The son of Hades heard people talking very excitedly. Nico, Will, and Rachel rushed to see what was going on. Once everyone was outside the smoke evaporated, and Nico could clearly tell what caused it. "Hey, guys! So guess what! I'm not dead!" Leo exclaimed.
