3rd POV

Present Time

The streets of Olympus are quiet. The whole place looks deserted. A lone figure is walking towards the throne room. As the figure passes houses and buildings curtains are closed even tighter, showing that Olympus is not as deserted as it appears.

The only building with any light is the throne room. Inside is chaos.

"We have to find a new place to stay!" A girl, with black hair and ocean blue eyes, says firmly.

"No! Olympus is safe! It has been for the past three years!" A tall man, with electric blue eyes, shouts.

"How much longer do to I think that will last Zeus? He knows how to get here, he can attack us anytime he wants! The only reason he hasn't already is because he left us alone! But with your stupid decision, he won't anymore!" The girl counters.

The man, now known as Zeus, glares at the girl with electricity crackling around him.

"Something needed to be done Nicole! I didn't see you doing anything to help!" Zeus thunders.

"For your information, I'm searching for a cure! If we can heal his mind, he'll stop!" Nicole hisses.

Zeus stops. He seems to be contemplating the idea.

"That might work." He agrees.

"No duh! You really think I would do something to help Percy? He's my brother!" She shouts.

Everyone in the room freezes. No one has said his name since the attacks had started.

Before anyone can react, the doors to the throne room are blown open.

A dark figure stands in the doorway. Nothing about them can be seen, except for their glowing red eyes.

"No." Nicole whispers.

Then laughter fills the air, echoing off the walls. The laughter is filled with insanity. In that moment, everyone realizes who is standing before them.

The Nightmare has come for revenge.

The laughter abruptly cuts off. Silence reigns for a brief moment before it is broken. The Nightmare becomes a blur as it suddenly attacks.

Screams ring through the air as every person in the throne room instantly starts bleeding. Cuts are showing up, seemingly out of nowhere, on their skin.

Bones are broken and flesh is torn. The attack only lasts minutes, before The Nightmare departs.

No lives are lost this night, but no one will forget the terror they felt.

That night, the darkness had finally reached Olympus.

Hey my wonderful Sparks! I hope you guys are happy with this early update! What do you think Zeus did to incur the wrath of The Nightmare? So, the question is...

Are you scared of the dentist?

I am. I had to go today, they said my teeth are healthy. I'm still kind of scared when I go in though. I don't know why.

Ok, that's all for now! Bye! Faavorite, Follow, Review, Share, and Don't forget to watch your back!
