Hi guys! Thanks to the two people who always review :). I hope you enjoy.
~Dream~
I don't know what I was being chased by, I just know that it is big and it wants to kill me. I was in Hell, Hades realm. I was running as fast as I could, I t was playing with me. I turned the corner, only to be greeted by the goddess Styx herself. I was weird though, I was not in front of the river styx. I was somewhere else, Tartarus. The goddess was chained in stygian iron chains. She was in front of the doors of death, then I realized, she was chained TO them.
"Help me. You must free me from my bounds."She croaked.
"I-I h-how?" I replied, shaking with fear. Any one or any thing that can trap Styx is really powerful.
I heard something behind me, I turned and was faced by Tartarus himself.
"Well, well. Look who we have here, The Bane of Olympus. I guess you did comply, Styx." He boomed.
"Get out of here!" She screamed. But it was too late.
Tartarus looked at me, and with a sweep of his hand I was gone.
"AAAA!" I woke up crying in Noah's arms. I guessed he was the one looking for me last night.
"It's okay. You're all right."He told me things like this until I was able to stop crying.
He never let go of me though, and I was glad. It may seem weird, but we both liked each other. We had since we were six.
"Now can you tell me what happened?" He asked me.
"I-I was in H-Hades' realm. W-when I saw Styx. S-she told me i h-had to free her. She was chained to the d-doors of d-death. T-then T-tartarus came up behind me. H-he flicked his hand and t-then I woke up.`` I managed to get all this out before I started to cry into his chest again.
He just held me closer.
"How about we go back to camp and get something to eat? That way we can try to forget about this for a while." He replied. I nodded my head.
He helped me get down from the rock we were on, normally I would have gotten off on my own, but I was pretty shaken up. As we walked back to camp we held hands. I did not want to let go. I focused on the birds and streams. It was beautiful. When we emerged out of the woods, we were greeted by Chiron, the seven,Nosh,Yali,and Lucas.
"Wow, Chiron. You really trust me don't you?" I said sarcastically. Yali rolled her eyes.
"I was worried you ran away again."He replied.
"Now why would I run away again. I'm not stupid ya know." I said.
"Yeah Chiron, I told you she would come back. She just needed some space." Yali told him. Clearly annoyed that he had woken her up.
" Chiron can we just go eat already!Pleeeeease!" Percy whined.
I laughed. So did everyone else.
"Just wait a second seaweed brain." Annabeth scolded.
I was with Percy. "Yeah Chiron pleeeease! I'm hungry!" I gave him puppy dog eyes. Percy got the hint. He came over and did the same thing.
"Pleeeeeease!" We said in unison.
"Fine. You can go eat." He said looking defeated.
"Race you guys!" I said.
I turned into a black wolf with white tipped ears and a white tipped tail. I had amber eyes.
Noah turned into a dark grey wolf with blue eyes and a light grey front left paw.
Yali turned into a white wolf with silver tipped ears and a silver tipped tail. She had gray eyes.
Lucas turned into a gray wolf with white tipped ears and a whit tipped tail he kept his normal blue eyes.
Percy turned into a black wolf with dark gray tipped ears and a dark grey tipped tail. He also kept his normal eyes.
The seven gasped.
"Percy. Don't tell me they don't know!" I yelled angrily at him.
"Well then I won't." His ears were flat, but he was still being funny.
"Seriously! Annabeth is your GIRLFRIEND, and you did not tell her!," I screamed.
He thought about this for a few minutes. Then he realized what I was saying, actually made sense.
"Well Annabeth I can turn into a wolf, because Grace feels like I'm family. Any one that she feels as if their family can." Percy replied.
"Ya know Percy, I don't think I will ever understand you. Also this means that all of you can turn into wolves too. Just you have to want to and be in a life and death situation before you can for the first time." I told them. I was patient but apparently my brother was not.
"Enough talk I'm hungry! Three, two one, go!" He and everyone else except for the seven took off.
"Ok so I'm sorry about him, but I don't wanna lose so…." I set off.
I quickly caught up to my brother who was in the lead. I jumped over the lake, and landed softly. I cut through the cabins, though I had to jump over quite a few people. Once I was clear of the cabins I saw the mess hall. It was a clear shot, I ran up to the line of food and turned back to a girl. I checked my watch, it was 9:00 am. As I go to get my food I hear something that sounds like a scream, but muffled. I decided to ignore it. When I sat down I heard another scream, this time I recognized it as Yali.
"Yali!" I yelp.
The boys who had just gotten to the pavilion took off to the source of the noise. Percy and the seven were looking at us weird, but I didn't care. I got up and followed the boys. We followed the noise to the arena. Yali was just sitting on the ground, in front of her was about twenty hellhounds.
"I'll distract them, Lucas get her out of there, Noah go tell Chiron what's going on." I commanded.
I whistled, all twenty hellhounds looked at me. I didn't really have a plan so I just started running toward the lake. I risked a look back only to see all of the hellhounds close behind me. When I got to the area before the cabins, I realized that this was the only place I could face them. I drew my sword and dagger, and turned around.
"Games on hounds." I said menacingly.
I sprinted into action, I spun and felt my sword and dagger connect with three different things. I just kept spinning, slashing, stabbing, and dodging until I was covered in gold dust and scratches.
"Wow." I heard my brother breathe out.
I turned around to see him his friends and the guys ready for battle. All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my right leg. I looked down, I was bleeding badly, and my ankle was twisted in a weird way. I dropped my weapons, and collapsed. Noah caught me.
"I don't think that's supposed to be like that." I laughed and gestured toward my leg.
His face was really pale. " We need to get you to the infirmary." He said.
When he stood up with me in his arms I screamed, "OWW!" Then proceed to pass out from pain.
~Dream~
When I woke up, I was in Tartarus, In front of Styx.
"Why did you bring me here? I don't want to experience more pain." I told her.
"I know. But if you don't free me and then defeat him, he will rise. Then the whole world will fall." She stared into my eyes as she told me this.
I looked at her. She looked severely malnourished and dehydrated. She also looked like she was in a lot of pain. It makes sense. The goddess was chained to the doors of death, and being deprived of food and water.
"Ok. But how can I defeat him." I finally said.
A look of relief passed over her face. "Honestly I have no idea, now quick he is returning you must leave." She said.
I woke up to see Noah standing over me looking worried as Hades.
I know this was a really short chapter but, I am tired. I just wanted to post something today. It would have been longer but….. I just wanted to post something. So here. Hope you enjoyed.
