Rachel PVO
"Rachel, are you listening to me?" questioned my dad.
Truthfully? Not at all. "I'm sorry Dad what did you say?" I answered instead.
"I said you don't need to go to camp during break. Your mother wanted the family to head to California."
"No it's okay Dad, I'm fine with camp," I tried not to wince. He would take it as me not wanting to go to camp instead of the vacation. Thankfully we were at camp. Before he could say anything I hopped out. "Bye, Dad!" I ran all the way to the Big House so I could check in with Chiron before I headed over to my cave.
I'd just said 'hi' to Chiron when I heard screaming coming from one of the upstairs bedrooms. Chiron and I rushed up.
The girl screaming had long, wavy, black hair. Another girl with strait strawberry blond hair and got up out of bed and walked over to her, looking almost board as if this was routine for her.
"That's Rhea," he explained to me, "Percy and Annabeth picked up her and two friends earlier today." Turning to the other girl he said, "Sonya what is the matter?"
"It's okay this happens all the time we just need to wake her up. I'll handle it."
"If you're sure." Chiron left as Rhea screamed again.
"Come on Rhea wake up," Sonya looked a bit nervous. We could see tears running down Rhea's cheeks. "It's not normally this bad."
I went to shake Rhea's shoulder, worried about what Sonya had said. But the second our skin touched I fell in to blackness.
I shook my head to clear the dizziness. I looked up to find a much younger Rhea, maybe nine or ten, crouched next to a boy with light brown hair. He had to be at least thirteen. I caught my breath. The once light gray front of his shirt was completely covered in blood. I could make out the stab wound in his chest right where his heart should be.
"No! Jamie don't leave me!" little Rhea was crying.
I saw Jamie's lips form words and somehow knew they meant "I'm sorry Ray". Then the life faded from his eyes. It turned black again.
Now I could see Jamie and younger Rhea running from two dracaenae. They were heading over a bridge towards a warehouse so they could hopefully catch their breath and ambush the monsters. But then Jamie stopped running. It took a few moments for little Rhea to figure out that he was gone.
"Jamie, come on!" she yelled back at him.
"Go ahead. I'll hold them off," he called back.
"No, I'm not leaving you!"
"Just go I'll be fine." He turned around to face them at the end of the bridge.
Little Rhea stopped about halfway across the bridge. We both watched as Jamie went after the monsters. I shivered when I thought of how I felt when Percy attacked those cheerleaders. Rhea must be feeling the same thing but worse because she knew what was going on.
Jamie was having a hard time fending off both of the dracaenae. However he was close to killing one of them. But then the other ran her sword through his back.
"No!" little Rhea shrieked.
I noticed the river under the bridge was acting they same way the one at camp acts when Percy is angry. Then little Rhea screamed a high pitched wail and the river roared into a massive tidal wave easily two stories high. It crashed down on the snake women and if I was really there I would have been swept away too.
"Jamie!" little Rhea ran towards him. This is how it was when it started. But now I could see that Jamie was dry (except for the blood) and that the area around him was dry.
"No! Jamie don't leave me!" little Rhea was crying.
He mouthed 'I'm sorry Ray' again, and the dream started over.
No, stop! I thought to myself. Then I was back in the big house. Rhea had woken up the same time I did and tears were coming from her eyes.
Okay you can still guess the parents. So far one person got Sonya and Lucas. Now hurry up and guess cuz they're getting claimed soon!
