I sat bolt right in my bed. I was sweating madly, my sheets were tangled around me and I felt like throwing up.
Another nightmare.
Not just any nightmare, this was the past of some boy.
This boy was a friends with my mother, Annabeth, when they were young. His back was always towards me, so I couldn't see his face. The nightmares started a week ago, every time I slept I would have another dream about my mom's childhood friend. This time I had a dream about the boy blowing up a school with his friend cyclops (which he didn't know) that looked a little bit like Tyson when he was smaller. My mom told the boy she had weird dreams about CHB, so she took them to Camp Half Blood. She took the Grey sisters cab, which wasn't a very good idea consider all the bumps and sharp turns, Plus with a easily sick cyclops. They arrived at CHB, turns out the camp borders were failing and they were having attack. The boy jump to save a most likely girl that was a daughter of Ares. Suddenly the boy tripped on a loose root of the pine tree, twisting his ankle, he was surrounded by monsters. I watched in horror as the monsters lunged at him. That's when I woke up.
I never told my mom about these dream, I was afraid she would freak out like when my father left her with me. When I was two days old he packed up and left, without saying anything, just left. My mother didn't tell me much about him. Only a few bits and pieces, she never even told me his name.
Once I asked what he was like, she told me he was very powerful, but gentle, he would never hurt you intentionally. she told me I looked almost the same when he was my age, 16. She told me he was a son of Poseidon. But now their are three sons of Poseidon and one daughter, so any one could be my dad, heck maybe even Poseidon.
You would expect me to be mad at him for leaving us, I am a little bit mad, but the main question I have for him is Why? Why did he leave us? Why didn't he say anything, leave a note or something? Or even called?
I glanced at my clock. 6:00. I was one hour earlier than normal. I untangled my sheets and pulled on a loose green t-shirt on and crept downstairs.
I reached the last step when I heard a crash from the kitchen. I tugged on my trident necklace and it turned into a glowing sword. I crept towards with my sword in front of me in case the monster heard me coming towards it. I ran into the kitchen with my sword ready to swing. Suddenly I screeched to a stop. I sighed in relief, "Mom! I thought you were a monster! What was the crashing sound?" I asked sitting down at the table. My mother laughed, "I dropped a pan." She paused, "Why are you up? It's six! You should be sleeping, we aren't leave to CHB until 7:30." She looked at me for an explanation.
I sighed no point of hiding my dreams anymore,"Mom, I have been having dreams." She looked up from the sizzling pan. Her face was full of concern, she turned off the stove and sat down next to me, "What kind of dreams?" She asked softly. I took a deep breath hoping she won't freak out, "Dreams about the past, dreams about a boy." I paused looking at her face for any sign of emotion. She nodded for me to continue, "About a boy from your childhood, a childhood friend. A boy with a cyclops friend." Her eyes widen, "Oh no." She said under her breath.
"What? What do you mean "Oh no"?" I asked her worriedly. She waved it off, "Go pack, Dylan, and don't forget to wake up the twins." She said pushing me out of the kitchen. I wanted to protest but one look on my moms face said it all, that was a touchy subject for her. The boy must be a very good friend of hers. I sighed and looked at my watch, it was 6:54 already!
I hurried up the stairs to my siblings rooms. I knocked on my brother's door. "Nathan! Wake up! We're leaving soon for CHB!" I heard a groan from the other side of the door. I smiled satisfied with my answer. Then I turned to do the same on the opposite door from the Nathan's room. "Hayley! Wake up. We're leaving soon!" I called.
"I'm up!" I heard a sleepy voice say.
Nathan and Hayley were twins, Hayley was four minutes older. They are 12 years old, Hayley is like my mom, straight A student and brains worthy of Athena. She had a little control of water. Nathan and me were like me dad, son of Poseidon, full control of water and a expert at blowing up school's. Except Nathan has grey eyes instead of sea green and Hayley has my dads eyes. The twins don't really get along, but when they do its normally because something was serious, fighting or they found something in common. When they fight monsters together its like a bomb exploded. They know each other so well that when they fight it looks like they have been rehearsing for this for hours. It's quite amazing. I entered my room not before I grabbed a duffle bag from the closet in my mom's room.
TIME SKIP
I plopped down next to my brother at the table, he was eating his scrabbled eggs. He looked up when he saw me sit down, "Morning." He said in a oddly cheerful voice. I raised my eyebrow, "What did you do?" I asked suspiciously. He smiled and closed his eyes. Suddenly I heard Hayley screech from the shower, "NATHAN LUCAS CHASE!" She yelled, "Turn the water temperature back to normal!"
Nathan burst out laughing, I tried sniffled a laugh but failed miserably. Even my mom was chuckling, "Ok, Nate you had your fun, now turn the water temperature back to normal." She said smiling. Nathan pouted but closed his eyes and we heard Hayley say,"Thank you!".
"Come on kids, we're leaving in ten minutes." My mom said.
"Everyone got everything?" My mom asked from the driver seat in our car. I was sitting in the front while the twins sat in the back. There was a chorus do ya's.
"Ok then let's hit the road." She said smiling.
