This is a story when Leanne was little, like 4 or 5 years old.
Leanne wasn't sure what was happening. One moment she was lying in bed, almost asleep, and the next...
Leanne found herself on a snowy cliff. She was with five other people: Two girls and three boys. One girl had spiky black hair and sharp blue eyes, and the other with blonde hair and grey eyes. And the boys... One was her brother, Percy, but younger. One was a scruffy kid who was growing a tiny beard and wore baggy pants and a cap. The last boy sent chills up her spine. He had dark hair, like hers and Percy's, and a pale face, like hers. Nico, she thought. And Thalia, and Annabeth, and Grover.
Was this a dream? It felt so real, so familiar.
She turned and gasped. A horrible monster stood before her. He had a lion's body, a horrible, spiky, bristly tail, and two different colored eyes, one brown, and the other blue. He smiled cruelly at her, but she couldn't scream.
Suddenly, a flashing rain of silver arrows fell around them. Leanne heard the sound of a horn. Then Annabeth attacked the monster, trying to work her dagger into his throat. They both tumbled over the cliff.
As the monster fell, he fixed his brown and blue eyes on Leanne and growled, "Until next time, Bianca."
Leanne was ripped back to her bed. She couldn't breathe. It hadn't been a dream. It was real. She started shivering. The monster had called her Bianca. Why? She couldn't sleep anymore. It didn't feel safe. She slowly climbed out of bed and tiptoed out the door.
Leanne cautiously opened the door to Percy's room. "Percy?" she whispered. "Percy, I'm scared."
"What?" Her older brother rolled over and yawned. "Oh, Leanne. What happened."
"I was in bed and then I was in the snow and you were there and other people were too and there was a monster and the girl grabbed him and they fell."
"Whoa, Leanne, slow down," Percy frowned. "Monster, huh?"
She nodded, and Percy hesitated before saying, "Monsters aren't real, Leanne."
"Percy, it was real. I know it was, and I'm scared."
He sighed. "Listen, we'll talk about it in the morning, OK? It was probably just a bad dream."
No, it wasn't, Leanne thought. But out loud she said, "Ok, but can I sleep with you?"
"Oh, all right."
If you didn't get that, it was Leanne having a flashback like Hazel did when she came back from the dead. Nobody realizes yet that Leanne is Bianca, but Leanne is just starting to remember.
