(Ok, so I spent wayyyyy too many chapters on the first day. But I will pick up the pace a bit now, just I wanted to represent how it would have felt to her, and how much her world would have changed. From getting along better with her brother to discovering her other life. I have no real reason yet why Katy was left so long without being claimed, and I make up most of this as I go. But I hope that I'll be able to explain everything and I hope you like this very bad fanfic because the plan I did have was scrapped because I got bored with that. Thanks for reading and if, for some reason, you like this so much that you're reading past midnight, don't blame me. Ok, thanks bye.)
Chapter 10.
I replay my dream in my head. I remember:
Hazel, the girl with the golden eyes
the boy who swore he'd do his best to get her out
The boy who played with fire
A boy with sea green eyes and black hair
A pretty girl with a horn that I think produces food
A boy with blond hair and glasses
And a girl with curly blond hair, and her eyes. She has the greyest eyes I've ever seen, even more than Malcom. Three guesses who she is.
They were trapped in an underground bunker, with a lift.
When Malcom asks about my dream, I tell him about who and what I saw. He recognises Annabeth as soon as I tell him her description.
"This has to mean some thing, half bloods usually only ever have those sorts of dreams if it has any thing to do with them." Malcom bits his lip.
"Get dressed, and meet me with Chiron in ten minutes. We got a message today from the Romans that the seven went missing, and Nico had that same dream.
Chiron had told every camp councillor to get every one who had our dream to meet him. I was the second to arrive. I see Nico alone, his arms across his chest and his leg is shaking. I go to sit next to him. "Hazel, she's my sister." He looks down.
"Two years ago, I had tried to close the doors of death myself, in Tartarus. It was stupid. The Anti-Dionysius giants found me. Six days on pomegranate seeds. Hazel was the one to lead the seven. She and Percy. I'm sorry, I just. I don't know, sorry, tell me when to stop. But after I got out of that gods dammed bronze jar, I lost Percy and Annabeth when they fell into Tartarus. I should've done more to help them. I promised him that I'd lead the others to the other side. I don't think I could do that again." He rests his forehead on my shoulder and I leave him. I don't want to make him uncomfortable. So I tilt his chin up. His face is covered in tear marks and his eyes are sunken in further. "Nico," I pause. "We'll find them, well find them safely. I swear upon the river Styx that we will find your sister or I will die trying." I promise.
"Did you just copy Frank?" I had forgotten that he was in the dream too.
"Well, now Hazel has two oaths to help her."
"I swear, that I will find Hazel, or die trying." He swears. "Now three."
"Gods no!" Liam gasps.
"Hey bro." I say.
"Katy, are you serious? You can't? You haven't even had any lessons, you'll die!" Liam chokes.
"Beginners luck?" I cross my fingers for effect.
"No, you can't go!"
"I have to. I made an oath!" I argue.
"You didn't."
"Just now."
"Katy!" I sense that Liam is getting frustrated to I stand up.
"I'll be safe, I guess you're coming too, right? So wouldn't it make more sense for me to go with you so that you can protect me from the big bad monsters?" I know I'm getting ridiculous. "Look. My mum told me about the locket, so it's not like I'm totally defenceless!"
"The locket? Katy, what are you going to do with it? Percy and strangle a monster that will eat you alive before you get within three feet of it?"
"Liam, watch." I open the locket and watch my body fade away in a split second. I see Liam scrunch his face in confusion and then nod his head.
I was about to snap it close again, but my body freezes when I see a familiar figure walk into the room. Her hair is in a high pony tale and she's wearing, MY hoodie.
"Liam?" She asks as she spots our brother.
"Grace?" Liam turns around.
"Grace?" I snap the locket shut and come into view.
"Katy?"
The three of us stand staring at each other for about ten seconds until Liam breaks the silence. "Well, someone has something they might want to explain."
