Chapter 9: Breakfast and Morning inspection

I was dreaming again.

I was in a house standing in a hallway when all of a sudden there was a scream of fear and a few seconds later a young woman with blond hair ran down the hall into the room right in front of me. I heard a voice ask, "Marie are you okay?" A small sob came from the room. I walked into the room and saw a nine year old girl sitting up in her bed crying. Holding her and soothing her was a seventeen year old girl. I realized that the older girl had to be Marie's older sister Rose.

Suddenly another voice came from behind me. "Is everything alright?" I turned around and saw Luke Castellan, without the scar.

Rose turned and looked at him. "She's fine, just a nightmare. You should go back to sleep Luke." Luke hesitated and then nodded and walked out of the room and down the hall. Rose turned back to Marie.

"What did you dream about sweetie?" Marie looked into Rose's eyes and then as she was about to say something the dream faded out.

I woke up to the conch horn and got dressed, and went out to get breakfast. I sat down at the Hades table and looked at the Aphrodite table. Marie looked up and smiled at me, I smiled back at her but I must have had a look of worry on my face from my dream because her smile wavered and she looked at me with concern. The rest of breakfast went with me looking at Marie every now and then and her doing the same.

When breakfast was over she walked over to me and took my hand and said "is everything okay Nico?" I looked at her and then decided to shrug it off. There was no point in worrying because. If there was something else about Rose's death that she had wanted to tell me she would have told me already.

"It's nothing." She looked unsure but she let it go. We both then walked to the big house to get the scroll for cabin inspection. It was my turn and she always went with me on my turns.

Cabin's 1 and 2 were empty, Cabin 3 had only Percy in it this year, but it was messy. I gave him a three out of five. Cabins 4-12 were the same routine, Cabin 13, my cabin, was clean but my bed wasn't made "four out of five" Marie told me when I tried to give it a five out of five. the Rest of the cabins we went through were fine and were given a three or higher. We went back to the big house to return the scroll and we went down to the arena for sword practice.
