I would love to tell you that I laugh in the face of all the things that happened to me today, but of course I didn't, don't, and maybe never will. As of right now I am following Michael down the fire escape.

We finally reach the ground and Michael looks around nervously, "Come on, we have to go."

I follow him and we keep on making random turns or walking in big circles, like we are trying to lose someone or in my case something. We walk for hours before we stop for lunch. We walk in a cafe' and I sit down while Michael orders,'What is happening? Is this a sick dream? Maybe it's some sick reality my brain made up... I don't know, I think I'm just crazy.'

"Here, vanilla frappé just how you like it," a cup is shoved into my hands and I look up and see Michael. I take a sip and stare blankly out the window. I finish my frappé and eat my sandwich. When I'm done we leave and make our way towards Long Island.

We walk for hours until I slump down in front of a tree and call a five-minute break. Michael wasn't happy, but agrees. I then notice he has shoes on.

"So am I crazy or do you really have goat feet?"

Michael sighs, "You're not crazy, but I can't tell you. The more you know the more they can smell you."

"Who can smell me? I don't smell that bad and what do you expect? Do you think I'm supposed to smell like roses after walking across the state of New York?!" I say this totally serious and Michael finds it amusing.

"Uh huh. Laugh it up." I mutter.

"Um, excuse me, but you're sitting on my roots." A voice says.

I look up and see a girl with brown hair and pale skin, but the weird thing was she was tinted green. I stand up and she smiles then walks straight into the tree.

"AAAAAAH!" I scream, scrambling backwards.

Michael rubbed his head,"Zeus help us." He mutters helping me up.

'That was a nymph, nothing to be afraid of."

I just stare at the tree as Michael drags me into the forest.

'I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy! Wake up, Kaylee!' I drive my fingernails into my palm, unfortunately all it does is cause me pain.

We walk for what seems for hours before I see Michael visually relax," Come on ! We're almost there!"

I sigh and run to catch up with him. We walk for a while then things go from bad to worse.

The wind blows gently, but I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand. The wind has a certain aroma. . .

"Michael. . ." I say glancing around. I see him stiffen. He looks around and looks back to me.

"RUN! KAYLEE, RUN!" He screams and throws me the dagger.

I look around and see a Cyclops. I look back to Michael as he kicks off his shoes and pulls his club. He glances to me.

"I SAID RUN, KAYLEE! GO YOU WON'T STAND A CHANCE!"

I scramble backwards and turn to run, but I can't do it. He has and is risking his life for me! I just can't leave him. I go to run back to Michael, but I stop dead in my tracks.

"COME DEMIGOD! DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE ME? HA! TODAY I WILL FEAST ON YOU AND YOUR SAYTR FRIEND!" a deep, horrific voice bellows.

I stand frozen to the spot. The Cyclops' voice runs chills down my spine. I've heard that voice before. Not in real life, not in a dream, but in a nightmare.

I stand there paralyzed as I remember the nightmare.

I was standing in the middle of a forest and I hear a cruel, booming laugh echo through the forest. I spin around trying to find out where it had come from.I saw a blurred figure in the distance. It laughed again.

" Try and run, you won't escape me." It sounded like it had whispered it in my ear and I spun around, but saw nothing. When I looked back to where it had been I jumped. It was now closer and seemed bigger than ever.

" Ha! To scared to run. You were to weak to survive what's coming anyway." It said then disappeared.

Suddenly I was being lifted up and my arm felt like it had been snapped.

"KAYLEE! KAYLEE! SNAP OUT OF IT!" a voice said.

I shook myself out of my haze and saw the Cyclops running towards us and Michael was screaming.
