Chapter 7

Penny's POV

When we finally stopped for... well you couldn't exactly call it night, could you? At least in the Duat you couldn't. Anyway when we finally stopped, I went to sleep while my brothers were still talking. And I had a dream.

I don't mean a demigod dream. Nor do I mean a regular dream. It was more like a memory.

There was a little me. I think that the little me was five years old and walking home while holding my adopted brother's (Thece's) hand. The little me and Thece were about to turn onto another sidewalk when little me saw a gigantic dog. It was black and had eyes like flaming coals. Little me tugged at Thece's sleeve and asked.

"Thecey, what kind of doggie is that?"

Thece looked at the dog and paled. Little me tugged on his sleeve and asked.

"What's wrong, Thecey?"

Thece did nothing for a moment and then he pulled out a dagger and a sword. He shoved the dagger at Little me and said.

"If anything happens to me, run."

"What! Thecey, what's going on?" Little me asked confused. 'Nepthys, do you know what is going on?'

'It's not something from Egypt, Penny, so no.' Nepthys replied. Then Thece replied. "Just run if anything happens to me."

Then the dog charged Thece. Thece tried to defend himself but the hellhound was too strong. Withing minutes, Thece's chest was sliced open and he was lying dead on the ground. The dog disappeared into shadows which only left little me and the now dead Thece.

I woke up screaming my head off. Both of my brothers jumped into the air and looked at me in surprise. It took a whole minute to remember where I was and to stop myself from screaming.

Percy and Perry were staring at me in shock. They had never really heard me scream, especially in fear.

"Are you ok, Penny?" Percy asked once I had stopped screaming.

"Yeah, it was a nightmare." I replied shivering as I thought about what had happened that day.

"What nightmare could make you scream?" Perry asked.

I thought back on it again and I instantly shut my eyes real tight to keep myself from screaming again. My brothers went over to me and both of them hugged me. Usually, I didn't really like hugs but that memory had really gotten to me.

"What was your dream about?" Percy asked gently after a moment.

"It wasn't really a dream, more of a memory." I replied looking down at the ground.

"Your first monster?" Perry asked.

"Not really. I mean it never really attacked me." I stopped and gulped. It was too soon. Too soon to relive the memory twice in one day.

My brothers, however, were looking at me with concern. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I was not going to talk about this with my brothers, no way.

"Look it's nothing. It happened a long time ago so it's nothing that you need to worry about." I said trying to wave them off.

"Penny, if somethings wrong, then we want to know." Percy said stubbornly.

That's when I snapped and said.

"I said it's nothing! Just leave it alone, both of you!"

Perry and Percy looked taken aback by my sudden outburst. I took a deep breath an then I said.

"Look I'm sorry but I'm not ready to talk about it. It scarred me, made me the person who I am today, and it's too soon for me to relive it twice in one day."

Perry nodded but Percy, being Percy, asked.

"What do you mean it scarred you?"

I took another deep breath and said.

"I was only five years old, Percy, what happened would have scarred any five year old."

Realization dawned on Percy and he nodded (which was good because if he had kept asking questiong, I would have punched him in the face and, quite possibly, broken his nose). The three of us sat in silence for a few minutes and then I clapped my hands together and said.

"We should get moving. I don't know about you two but I want to find someone who can help us get out of here!"

Nico's POV

"How on earth can Penny's fatal flaw be fear?" I asked surprised. "I haven't seen her scared of anything in the time I've known her."

"Have you ever seen her freeze up? Heard her wake up screaming? She get's scared, just ask Amy." Nepthys replied.

Everyone looked at Amy, who said.

"She's right about Penelope's fear. I've heard her waking up screaming more times then I can count. I've asked what she was dreaming about but she's never answered me."

"Ok but how can fear be her fatal flaw? She doesn't seem like someone who's fear would cost them their lives." Leo asked.

"Her fears are amplified more than the average person's." Nepthys explained before adding. "One of her greatest fears is related to the person who Tina and Nico met in Elysium."

"What! Who did you two meet in Elysium?" Amy asked surprised.

"That is confidential information." I replied smirking.

"Di Angelo..." Amy started to threaten but I interupted her saying. "The only person that I actually take her threats to heart is Penny, besides you do not scare anybody except for Leo and Perry."

She just glared at me while I smirked back at her.

Okkkkk, this was kind of like a filler and kind of pointless. But I still hope you enjoyed it and always remember to REVIEW!
