Percy Jackson and Camp No Blood

Chapter 4- The dream

After the incident with Chris Rapturn told me I needed some rest and sent me off to bed ignoring all of my questions about what exactly was "unique" about me and why it was important I never tasted human blood. When I reached the cabin I noticed that it must be around 2 a.m. because the hand was a little more than halfway between night and day. I had only been awake for about forty minutes and yet I felt exhausted. Must be the whole new vampire thing.

Anyway before Rapturn escorted me back to my cabin he handed me a bit of paper that I realized was my schedule for classes this year. Tomorrow, which was Monday, I had hunting class, flying class, fighting class, and cleaning. Then on Friday I saw something that caught my eyes. It was labeled "Capture the Rabbit". And it sounded kind of like capture the flag at camp half blood only instead of a flag all of these vampires were put into an arena with one rabbit and the first one that reached the rabbit won.

I kept on thinking about what the next night would hold in store for me as I drifted off into a deep sleep which would be my first full sleep before I became a vampire. And my first dream before I became one too.

In my dream I was standing in the middle of a crowd of people with Grover, Tyson, and Annabeth at my side. Oh gosh. How could I have been so forgetful! I had three friends out there in the world that weren't vampires and thus wouldn't live forever. But my heart sank even more as I watched Annabeth lean over and kiss me on the cheek quickly. Now I had done it. How could I become a vampire and come to a whole new camp! I must seem like the worst friend in the world to them right now. I had to find a way to talk to them. I just had to. Tomorrow I would go and see them after my classes were over. I had to.

But then suddenly the image of us standing in the crowd shifted and changed to an image of me and Annabeth sitting in a volcano. I was saying something to her and then suddenly I remembered what had happened here just before Annabeth leaned over and kissed me then disappeared under a baseball cap. I watched myself practically blow up after an eruption occurred and then the scene switched again to an image of me and Annabeth sitting at a table with a cupcake between us.

She leaned over towards me and said "Happy Birthday" and then kissed me. This time I was practically prepared for switching of scenes and also aware that the next scene that would show would be us underwater in a little air bubble. And I was right. The next moment I was underwater with the images of me and Annabeth. It was so peaceful watching this scene because it had been probably the happiest I had ever felt with anyone.

The dream ended with a fading of the image into black and I wondered for a moment as I was lying down in bed what it meant. Had it meant that I wasn't meant to be a vampire? Had it meant that I made a mistake. I shoved this out of my mind though because at that moment the clock on the wall chimed to signal that it was nighttime.

And that it was time for my first vampire training class.
