Disclaimer: Cassie is all that is mine

Hey guys and welcome to chapter 2 of The Change of Prophecy! I wanted to post this chapter a day or two earlier than planned for two reasons. 1) I love to write. 2) It is either this or chores so… Also there is some cussing in this story which is a reason why its rated T but there isn't a lot in it. This chapter is also going to be kind of short so I'm sorry about that. Most chapters will be longer than this if all goes well.

The Change of Prophecy

Chapter 2

Reality is Fantasy, Fantasy is Reality

It took Cassie a minute to relies she was sleeping in a cave. At first she woke up but didn't open her eyes. Then when she did open her eyes she started to freak out a bit.

"Where the heck am I?" she mumbled to herself, noticing her voice was very worn out and scratchy. She started looking through her mind that was still trying to wake up. After a few seconds of sitting in the cave she remembered what had happened the night before. "Dad!" she yelled standing up a bit too quickly. She hadn't noticed that the cave ceiling was very low.

After some curses and head rubbing she finally started to crawl out of the cave, thinking on her way out.

That had to have been a bad dream she thought to herself. "Which means this is a dream to." said to herself. She must have been having a really odd dream because she felt tired after reaching the end of the cave.

As she got out to of the cave she took a look around her. She was in a forest, a very big forest with very tall trees. "Last time I checked Cleveland wasn't located in the woods." she looking back at the cave she had crawled out of. "Well all my dreams can't happen at home."

She started to walk around aimlessly until she stopped after about five minutes and let out a frustrated sigh. Dreams were normally more exciting than this. "Where's the fun in this dream?!" she yelled at the sky.

She received her answer in the form of a blood chilling roar in the distance.

"On second thought, fun dreams are over rated." she said sprinting in the opposite direction of the roar.

She stopped running after she felt like she was about to collapse, which didn't take long. She found it odd how quickly she got tired, because she had always thought she was in decent physical shape.

She stopped by a stream and rested by the edge. She took a drink of the clear water and looked at her reflection and almost screamed. She looked terrible! Her face was covered in grime and her hair wasn't in her usual style, which was straight. Instead it looked more like a cross between a white rats nest and a pile of dirt and leaves. She had a white t-shirt on that was torn and dirty, as if it had never been introduced to a washing machine. The pair of jeans she was wearing had holes in them which looked a lot like animals had chewed through the fabric. She was covered in red welts and bruises she had never had before.

"I looked like I've went several rounds with Mother Nature herself and got my ass kicked." she said as she tried to get some of the dirt off of her but to no avail.

In her reflection she noticed two odd things that she had. She had a necklace she never recalled owning, and a small knife hooked on to a belt.

She looked at the necklace closely first and saw it was more like a talisman of some kind. It had several Greek words in it that she managed to read. "To protect against evil, enemies, and sunburn," Cassie read giving the necklace a very odd look. She found it so strange it took her a minute to realize she had just read ancient Greek. "This dream is getting weird." she said tucking the necklace under her shirt.

She was about to get a better look at the knife when she heard footsteps, human footsteps. She stood up and turned around so quickly she actually got dizzy from the sudden movement.

"Hold on there." someone said grabbing hold of her so she wouldn't tumble into the stream. "What happened to you?"

As her vision cleared Cassie focused on the person that had saved her from her tumble. It was a teenage boy with brown hair and brown eyes. He was kind of scary looking with his muscular build and sneer. He had a shield on his arm and a sword strapped to his side. He also wore an orange t-shirt that Cassie gasped at the sight of.

"Can you speak?"

Cassie just stared at him dumbfounded.

"I'll take that as a no." the boy said. "How did you get in here? Are you a half-blood?"

Cassie was so shocked she started to shake. The orange t-shirt, the sword and shield, the very mention of the word half-blood, it all made her wonder if she should scream with terror or jump for joy.

Cassie just stuttered in shock, mostly because she was kind of excited. She was dreaming about her favorite book series after all. Now if only she didn't look like she had never had a bath in a day of her life, then she would be really happy.

"Maybe you should come with me." the boy said rubbing the back of his neck with an irritated look as he started walking back the way he came. "Hurry up."

Cassie walked slowly behind the boy due to her legs still being a little shaky from exhaustion.

This is the most realist dream I've ever had Cassie thought. She hoped the dream wasn't too realistic because then she figured she would get stabbed in the gut or something.

They walked for a while when the boy turned around too look back at her. "Gods you're slow," he muttered. "Wait here, I have to check something."

Cassie nodded trying not to mouth off the rude boy. He seemed like he wouldn't have much of an issue putting his sword through her throat if she made him angry. He had stopped by the cave she woke up in earlier and looked inside. He waved his hand inside as if expecting something to be blocking the way.

"Well I'll be damned." the boy muttered. "It's gone,"

Cassie had no idea what he was talking about but before she could ask the boy stood up and started to run away, completely forgetting about her.

Cassie managed to run but she practically broke her legs trying to keep up with the scary guy. While he jumped over logs and avoided ditches Cassie tripped over pebbles and ran into trees. By the time she caught up with him she was even more bruised and in pain. Yep, defiantly a very realistic dream.

The boy turned over to look at Cassie, who was gasping for breath and nearly keeling over.

"Oh yeah, you're still here." The boy said.

"Kill…" Cassie gasped out with her scratchy throat. "You're… killing me…"

"So you can talk." The boy said. "Come on."

Cassie walked about a few steps before seeing the sight before her, and then she blacked out again.

I know this is short but it's the weekend and I'm lazy. The next one will be longer, I promise. Please review. The more reviews I get the faster I will update!
