~ {Dez's P.O.V} ~
Ever since I have been living in the Hera cabin, I've gotten nightmares. I had told Chiron about them, but he had reassured me that it was a big part of being a demigod. I wasn't so sure.
Tonight, the nightmare was worse than ever.
I was in a dark room, probably a cellar. A dim green light shone in the bottom of the room. I felt the urge to run towards it, but something or someone was holding me back. I couldn't move.
"Son," a voice in the darkness said, "I've been waiting for you."
The voice sounded very familiar, I just couldn't put my finger on it.
"Who are you?" I yelled. "What do you want from me?"
The voice snorted. "What I want? I want you to save me. Zeus wasn't very happy when he learned about you. He said that you're useless and he's mad at me now. Therefore, I have to hide. But if you manage to somehow prove that you're a worthy hero, I might now have to hide anymore. You'll be forever loved, son. That is your future. But for you to reach it, you have to do a big spectacle. Something that nobody has expected."
I wasn't sure what the voice meant. "I have no idea what you're saying. Who are you?"
The green light in the bottom of the room glowed brighter. "Who I am? Why, I'm your mother of course! Now, wake up. A battle is about to happen. Go out there and fight for me. Prove you're worthy."
I was sure the light glowed brighter now. It got bigger, too. Soon, the whole room was filled with it, and I started melting into it.
Then, I woke up.
The sun outside was shining, and it blinded me, compared to the dark room in my dream. I got up and put got dressed, prepared for a great day.
Then, I heard someone scream.

I do not like the people who say that the last day of school is a big spoonful of joy. Reality check: it isn't. Especially if you're a demigod.
There is a simple explanation for that. Since it's the last day of school, all the demigods start to prepare for camp. And while they're at that, the monsters disguise themselves as the replacement teacher or the lady who will escort you to the bus and so on. The monsters have a lot of imagination. So, us demigods have to be more careful.
And as I walked towards the bus stop to take the first bus towards Long Island, I was trying to be as careful as possible. But when you're a demigod, that isn't enough.
The lady seemed quite kind at first. She appeared to be very oblivious and helpless, so I couldn't just attack her in front of everybody, even though I knew she was some kind of beast underneath her little camouflage act.
Since I couldn't attack her, I tried to avoid her.
When the bus arrived, I hurried to be the first one in. I took the seat closest to the door as I figured I'd need a fast escape. The lady followed me with her gaze but sat down at the very first seat, far away from mine.
As the bus traveled across little valleys, I tried to relax. The nice, evil lady hadn't attacked me yet. Maybe she wasn't a monster after all.
Just when we were getting closer to Camp Half-Blood and I was making my way towards the driver so I could ask him to leave me off there, the lady made her first attack; she hit me with her handbag.
"Watch where you're going, you little fool! You stepped on my foot." – The lady yelled at me.
Okay…maybe she really isn't a monster. I apologized quickly, and then hurried to reach the driver. He seemed reluctant at first, but eventually agreed to leave me off just below the Half-Blood hill.
I thanked him and jumped off.

As I climbed up the hill, I forced myself to calm down. No monsters where in sight and I was about to reach home. Everything was going to be fine.
Just then, I heard someone scream. I couldn't me sure…but it sounded a lot like Annabeth. If she was in danger…
I hurried up the hill.
So…how was that? Tell me what you thought of it in your awesome reviews! Thanks for everything! I love you all!
Stay awesome and #LOUD!
