Chapter Four
Avalon's dreams were scary. They looked so real. She saw her father, unconscious, held captive by a Cyclops. She didn't say anything, just watched helplessly and horrorstruck.
"Where's the girl?" The Cyclops demanded.
"Sleeping, sire." A smooth voice said.
"Hmm. Will she come soon?"
"Very." The voice said and Avalon, startled, woke up. She was breathing heavily and there were a few campers over her, worried.
"You okay?"
"What's wrong?"
She just shook her head and replied, "Bad dream." Piper and Rachel sat and the edge and Avalon sat up. "I'm fine, really. Thanks for worrying about me." She smiled at the campers. They smiled and went back to their business but Piper and Rachel stayed.
"What was the dream about?" Rachel asked in a small voice. Avalon took a deep breath.
"My dad."
"What about him?" Rachel urged.
"He was being held captive by a Cyclops But that's crazy, right? Dreams aren't true." Rachel and Piper nodded but still looked worried.
"Want to see Chiron?" Piper asked. Avalon shook her head.
"It's fine. Just a nightmare." Rachel and Piper went away. Avalon changed then went through her daily routine. When she went to sword-fighting with Percy, she was surprised to find him sad.
"Luke was my first trainer." He told her when she asked. She didn't press on the subject and trained. Percy grinned.
"You're kind of like Piper. You're a daughter of Aphrodite and yet don't care much about makeup, gossip, and stuff like that. Piper doesn't really care for that either. I like that about you." He says. It was true. She didn't care much for anything that most Aphrodite kids cared about. The only class she honestly liked was Archery with Chiron. She didn't think about the dream until Chiron called her into the Big House.
"Bad news or good news?" Chiron asked.
"Good news."
"Good news is: Actually there was no good news." Avalon was afraid of this. "The bad news is that you're going on a quest. The really bad news is that your father has been kidnapped."
Author's note: If you read my story "Peeta, The Boy in Love", you'll see that I lied a bit. Sorry about the two chapters tomorrow thing. Turns out that I got this done and I probably will get the other one done too. Thanks for reading! :) Tomorrow will only have one chapter. Sorry for the confusion!
