Neil woke with a start. What was wrong with him he never had nightmares before, especially not about cronos. The dream seemed so vivid. The last moment of that horror kept replaying over and over again in his mind. The girl with bright pink hair, the slashing of Cronus' scythe, the cry of one of his friends and the girl with the bright pink hair. Who was the girl with the bright pink hair? Archie had purple hair but it didn't resemble the pink in the girl's hair and besides Archie was a guy, or was he?
Neil shook his head trying to clear it but it was no use. He slide out of bed quietly and headed towards the kitchen to make himself a cup of herbal tea. He crept along the hallway thanking the gods that it was carpeted he did not want to awake Athena their guardian, she was downright scary when she is angry. Neil successfully got to the kitchen without a noise and nobody seemed to notice his presence. Now where was the tea? Neil thought to himself. Finally he found it he took it from the shelf happily a grabbed a mug as well.
When Neil opened the fridge door to retrieve the milk he noticed a bite had been taken out of his rice crispy ChocС nutty bar.
"Oh not my nutty bar," he said forgetting that he was suppose to be quiet. Suddenly he heard the unsheathing of a sword. He turned around to face an unhappy Athena.
"Whoa, uh sorry didn't mean to wake you Athena, tea?" The scowl on her face disappeared as she nodded. Neil made a second cup and they both sat by the bench.
"What are do up at this hour Neil, shouldn't you be getting your "beauty sleep"?"Asked Athena after a few sips of the tangy herbal tea.
"Yeah I suppose but I keep having these nightmares, you know about Cronus, and he's taken over the world and he kills Jay, it's a different friend every night and there's a girl with gorgeous pink hair, but always the girl," Neil rambled, mistaking Athena's question as a sign that she actually gave a shit. Athena rolled her eyes. It was too early to give any words of wisdom, and the tea was making her even more tiered. She let out a huge yawn. ⌠Well please keep your thoughts quiet ones until a more reasonable hour, I'm going back to bed," and with that she placed her empty cup on the sink and left Neil to his thoughts.
But all he could think about was the girl with the bright pink hair. Who was the girl with the bright pink hair?
