Chapter 10- Reyna
After the test the only thing I knew was that I couldn't trust Percy. It hurt me somehow because he remembered me of Jason but I couldn´t afford to have a possible enemy as a friend. After the visit to the arena my brain felt dizzy, tired and alert.
"Hey Reyna" someone called behind me "I've been looking for you" it was just Tyler, the guy from Bacchus´s cabin.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"We need your help, uh um, is for the search thing, you know, Jason" he sounded nervous, again.
"Your cabin is not helping for that isn't it?"
"Well….we decided to help, since he is our friend to" he is a pretty bad liar; I know he likes me, but I'm into Jason. Sure I wasn't telling him that directly.
"Yeah I know, but I am really tired now can I help you later?"
"Sure, well…see you Reyna"
"See you"
I walked to the dinning pavilion where almost everybody was. The dinning pavilion is basically a huge fire in the middle with the biggest circular tables you have ever seen around it. Each one representing a cabin. Cabin unus(1), cabin duo(2), cabin tres(3), cabin quattour(4). We use the Latin numbers to define cabins but sometimes it's easier to say the name of them, or their colors. Example: Cabin octo (8) equals to Diana's cabin that equals to white cabin…or cabin novem (9) equals to Apollo's cabin that equals to yellow cabin…etc. Unlike most of the times tat I go straight to my table I walked to silver table (Minerva), where hazel was.
"Hazel" I said loudly
"oh hey Reyna", she turned to me, "you were looking for me before the test right?"
"Yeah, I want you to help me with something would you"
"Mmm…are you still mad at me?"
"Not that much, would you help me?"
"Sure what do you need" I stare at the table, it was full of her siblings and this was more like a personal problem.
"Um, I'll tell you after dinner"
"Sure"
I left the table and go get some food. By the time I get to my table I was already overcrowded with people from other tables. They know they could get in trouble but they still sit here, so I had no choice but to go sit to other table. I walked for a while when someone called me:
"Reyna, come her" I turned, it was Percy on the ocean table with a little kid by his side.
"Sure, thank you" I sit next to him and started eating. He suddenly woke up and get close to the fire, took a piece of his food, murmur something and throw the piece of food to the fire, then he lowered his head and came back.
"Um, what did you just did?"
"Just an offering to the gods but I just realize I doesn´t or here"
"Excuse me, a what to the gods?"
"An offering, I give them a piece of my food"
"And why would you do that?"
"I don't know, I just felt I had to, is there a problem?"
"No except you now smelled like scorched food" I laughed and he did too; then I remembered he might be my enemy. We stayed quiet for an uncomfortable moment until I decided to talk.
"Um and hey and how does it feel to be a Neptune kid'"
"I 'don't know, how do you feel about being Apollo's daughter?"
"Okay, but don't you feel surprised or exited?"
"Not really, more like if they just remembered me that, more like if I already knew, I wasn't much of a surprise for me"
"Really… well maybe you already knew"
"What?"
"Well I was just thinking that maybe, since you can't really remember how you get to my house, um you might have amnesia or something"
"Well thanks for pointing the obvious" I really hated his sarcastic tone wherever I say something, shish.
"You know, forget it!, we´ll talk about this later, okay?"
"Of course" we remain quiet for another uncomfortable moment until", so tell who was this guy Jason, who seems to be missing?" huh, I felt like punched in the gut.
"Not was but is, he was one of the bravest campers from here, son of Jupiter, and he went missing a few days ago…um, he was a very, very close friend to me" I somehow manage to contain the tears.
"Sorry" sure say sorry that does not help much.
"No problem, we have been sending a few searching teams but nothing. Sometimes I think he might be dead"
"Hey don't think like that, he'll be fine. I'm pretty sure he's fine right now"
"thanks, you really are a good person Percy, not like most of us" damn there I was acting nice with the enemy, again, "well I have to go, see you later"
"See you, sleep well"
…
My dreams were full of nightmares, or al least more horrible than usually. You see, being a demigod gives you weird dreams but being daughter of Apollo means you have these prophetic dreams almost daily; the good news is that they are mostly good, the bad news are that nightmares really suck. O and the worst part is that is almost impossible to forget a nightmare.
I remember being in a dark room, with big black roman style columns. I looked like if it had been abandoned for a very long time. I knew where I was. It was a place which only the bravest campers have the honor to visit. I could hear a murmur of two people. One sounded like a lady while the other sounded stronger and angrier, more ancient. I was just to get closer when I saw other boy there, it was probably my imagination but I swear the boy was Jason. I would have recognized him everywhere. I would've been full of joy if it wasn't for another girl with long brown hair and briden down the sides. She was pretty. I get so mad in that moment I almost didn't realize the other boy there. He looked like an elf. I turned and watch the largest cage I have ever seen, golden. What surprised me wasn't the cage at all but the one who was trapped on it. It was a goddess, but I couldn't figure who it was, with a little more detainment she looked like Juno but with a happier face or at least not as angry as always. The angry voice talked but I just couldn't understand what it said, to hard. Then Jason and the other two people ran for it. My vision got fuzzy and I just remember looking at Jason being hit pushing him to a column leaving him lying in the black floor. It was there when my dream faded.
Now you may say: how is this a nightmare, well I though that so at firs but, having a prophetic dream is never a good sign. Especially when you don't know at the time you just saw the future.
