A/N: No reviews for chapter 3 (yet) :( Oh well, I guess it's like a curse or something, because The Trident Thief didn't get any reviews for chapter three either. I just thought that it might get some, because I worked so dang hard on it.

Anyways, I updated pretty quick, right? Be happy.

Oh and this is my first chapter told in the third person, so please cut me some slack, I'm not good at it, I just couldn't decide who's POV to put it in.

P.S. Sorry this chapter's so short, I already have the next one written, I won't post it until I get four more reviews though. Is that too much to ask?


Chapter four: The Nightmare

Four A.M:

Hannah didn't remember ever falling asleep. Or for that matter being put in her bed. In fact all she could think about was the fact that her best friend was being ripped apart right in front of her eyes.

Mia and Grace were the only ones in room 300 that didn't get frequent nightmares.

Alexa, Saphire, and Hannah knew that they were just as bad as they were in camp, because there were so many demigods around.

Alexa and Saphire had already woken up from their terrible dreams. Hannah had woken up Mia and Grace with her screams.

The four other girls didn't know what to do. Two of them went off to find the Dean of the girls' dorms.

Ms. Smith came back with them and asked if they could think of anyone who knew her well and would be able to wake her up.

They did the expected thing and went next door to her sister's room (the Ms. Smith gave them the key). Elaine woke up with a start and went to the room. She didn't know what to do either.

"I don't know her that well, I've never seen her get nightmares this bad, not since we were like five. Get Nico, he should know."

Mia knew that he would know but responded with "he's a boy! It's past curfew, we can't go in there to get him and he can't come here to help Hannah!"

Ms. Smith scribbled a note and sent all of the other girls to go get Nico. He was in room 600 in another building across the yard of the school.

About twenty minutes later, they were finally back and had dragged Nico out of bed and brought him with them.

Once he saw Hannah screaming, he knew exactly what to do. He sent Elaine to go get water from the bathroom across the hall. She nodded her head and Nico sat on the bed beside Hannah.

He shook her gently and whispered to her.

Nobody else understood what he was saying to her or what she was reaming about.

"NO DON'T HURT HIM! HURT ME PLEASE! NO!" She was still screaming.

"Hannah, he's okay. Nobody hurt him. Just a dream…" He whispered to her, not knowing who "him" was.

Elaine returned with the water and handed it to Nico with her hand shaking.

He poured it over Hannah's face slowly and when the glass was nearly empty her eyes shot open.

She looked frantically around the room, looking every person in the eye.

When her eyes landed on Nico, they widened. She flung her arms around his neck and screamed "You're alive! I thought he killed you Nico! I saw him do it! You were dead!"

They just sat there with him rubbing circles on her back, confused about what exactly she saw.

Everybody else stood there, dumbstruck.

By then it was 5:30 and they all decided to stay awake, because classes started at eight and breakfast was at seven.


At breakfast, Alec questioned Nico about why he hadn't been in his room when he woke up.

Nico only managed a small smile.

Mia was eating her cereal rapidly and Nico looked at her with disgust.

"What? You don't like cereal?" She asked him, laughing.

"No." Was all he said. Of course everyone was laughing now.

"It's a long story," I told them, not going to explain to mortals about his step mother and her mother.


A/N: So that's chapter four. I'm sorry it's so short.

PLEASE review! I have the next chapter written, but I won't post it until I get four reviews. Is that too much to ask?

Please?
