Annabeth
It was dark. So dark that for a second I couldn't believe that there is a thing called light. I was running. Fast. my legs burning from the pain . I felt hard pain in my chest. As if I broke a bone somewhere. I was hyperventilating. Where was I?...In a forest. With creepy ,fallen trees . It looked as if there was a storm last night. Or day.I couldn't tell the difference. I suddenly stumbled and fell. I think my foot got stuck somewhere. I cursed. My ankle . It was ...bent in a weird angle. And gods, it hurt. As if a thousand pins were striking my leg at once.
Suddenly I heard a sound. I looked up to see a shadow of a person. It was close to me. Too close for my liking. My vision blurred. I knew that I SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING. SAID SOMETHING. I should 've immediately backed up. BUT I COULDN'T . I couldn't feel a thing. Numbness seeped its way into my body and all of a sudden I couldn't take it any any more. The pain in my head and ankle was too much for me to bear. My vision went black and I passed out from exhaustion.
I woke up with a sudden jolt. Breathing hard. Beads of sweat rolling down my face. All these dreams stopped a few years back. Then why today?after so many days. They were the cause of my ruined childhood. I was scared to talk to anyone, trust anyone . I was bullied. I was the outcast of the school. Just because of these dreams. They were so real that i would wake up screaming at night. Gradually as i grew older, they stopped. Could they mean anything? maybe a sign-
My thoughts were cut off by a voice. My phone. Where did I keep it? ...Yeah. Found it. Apparently, Thalia had called me. 13 times. I rolled my eyes. She doesn't know a word named "patience". I sighed and called back. She picked up on the second ring. "What the hell Annabeth?! I really hope you rot in hell!."she yelled.
"Good Morning to you too, Thals"
"Oh shut up Annie!-"Don't call me that Thals"
"Annabeth?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up."
"Okay"
"So why didn't you pick up my calls?" she asked with a hint of irritation in her voice.
"I was sleeping."I answered and then yawned."What?!" She yelled. Again.
""Oh come on Thals!stop yelling." I replied back getting slightly irritated.
"Getting irritated are we? First tell me,what's the time? she asked.
I glanced at the clock. Confused."7:10" I muttered back. WAIT! I looked at the clock again. "Shit! Thals! I am late!" I yelled. Freaked out.
"now what do I do?"I asked.
"Get ready of course"she replied in a duh- tone."Me and Piper will pick you up in 7 minutes."
"Its Piper and I Thals" I couldn't help but reply back.
"First tell me Annie, do you know what are you gonna wear?
"No!" I replied back. "Don't panic Annie. Just go to your closet take the first thing you see. Wear it. Brush your teeth. Comb your hair. And run out to the door where Piper and I will be waiting for you."she replied. Trying to sound calm.
"okay? She asked
I nodded but then I realized that she couldn't see me. So I replied back"okay".
