Another chapter! Hope you like it!
She looked down at it again and Nico caught her expression as he lingered.
"What's wrong? What does it say?" he tried to grab the journal from her hands but she dodged out of his reach.
"It's nothing," she read it again.
Kronos will rise. It is inevitable but I've been having these dreams again.
The next bit made shivers run down her spine and her blood ran cold.
Olympus was dark. So dark and there were lots of figures but I couldn't see any of them clearly. It was as if they were bathing in mist and secrecy. It was so scary. There were two faces I could see though, one was my own although I had pure black eyes, and one was the leader of the whole army. She had dark flowing hair and an evil sneer. That was when her name had come to me. Amelia.
She dropped the journal absentmindedly and her mouth widened slightly. Her breathing quickened as her eyes refused to move from the spot in front f her, the place in which the journal had resided mere seconds before. It was only a dream but still, it had had her in and she had been leading a rebellion. She didn't notice Nico pick it up but Percy did.
"What are you doing?" he demanded, taking the book out of his hands before he could open it.
"Seeing what's so special about it," Percy caught Amelia's expression and quickly told Nico to look after Kaleb.
"Me? Why should I? I…"
"Just do it," he stood up and guided Amelia away till they were far enough away that Nico couldn't hear.
"What's wrong?" he asked. At first Amelia didn't think that she could answer but she did.
"Kronos is rising," Percy was silent for a moment.
"We already know that but how do you know who he is?"
"I don't know who he is properly but I've had experiences with him. Sort of…" she drifted off into silence,
"What? Like dreams?"
"Yeah, he's been in my dreams and I didn't know who he was but he said that he was planning something. That when he rose, the world would fall under him in revenge for what had happened. I don't know what happened though!" she was on the brink of tears and hated herself more for it. Such a petty thing to get upset about she knew. She thought about the second part of the account and almost broke down into tears.
"There's something else, care to share it?" she was very reluctant to say but Percy was somebody who she found trusting more and more each minute.
"There was an account of a dream he'd had. It was a rebellion against Olympus,"
"And…" Percy urged gently,
"And the whole army were real people but they weren't real, if that makes sense."
"In a way," she took a deep breath and ploughed on, refusing to stop for even a second in case she backed down.
"I was the Leader," Percy had been about to speak but closed his mouth when he heard this. He shook it a few times.
"Are you sure?" he whispered, casting a glance towards Nico to make sure he hadn't overheard them.
"Yes. But you can't tell Nico. He'd only go and accuse Kaleb." She turned away and walked back towards Nico with only one backward glance.
So here it is. Bit boring and short I know but I am so tired now and have just got past a busy few days. Thanks to Hugs6 for helping me out with this! :)
