After I introduced myself to Thalia, we chatted, and Thalia asked if I wanted to join the hunters. I said no. "Why not? You get to be immortal, and all you have to do is swear off boys." "Sorry, but I have a boyfriend and I could never give him up," I said, taking Will's hand. Thalia just shrugged, and then we started a campfire so we could make s'mores. We talked about the quest, but I didn't talk about the prophecy. But I did remember the dream I had the night before the quest. "Will, can I talk to you in private? It's kind of important," I said. He nodded, and I took him where I THOUGHT nobody could hear. What I didn't know at the time was that some of Gaea's servants were listening, ready to show Gaea my weakness. I told Will about the dream I had. (A/N: I never showed you because I couldn't think of what to do, so here is the dream now.)

I was in a forest, where Percy lay, bleeding and unconscious. Will was trying to heal him, but it was taking a lot of his energy. Then I saw something stranger than that. I saw… myself. I was lying there next to Percy, my wounds closing in my sleep. Then Percy stopped breathing. I coughed and woke up, and saw Percy. I tried to say something, to ask if Will could fix him, but my voice wouldn't work. I started crying, and then I saw Apollo where Will was. Percy had gotten hit in his weak spot. Now he was dead.

Then the scene changed. Percy was alive, but Will was in Percy's place. This time I was fully awake. I cried out to Apollo, but it was no use. Then I heard the same sleepy voice I heard before. "Ariadne, you can join me or live out these scenes. Zeus killed you, and he may kill you again if you aren't careful. If you help me, I will spare you, your pesky older brother, and your boyfriend. Nobody will get hurt if you join me." I knew right away it was Gaea tricking me. I refused, and Gaea told me to beware, that she would get me one way or another. Then I woke up.

By the time I finished explaining the dream, I was looking at the ground, only letting a few tears fall. I wiped away the tears and was about to say something when I heard Percy yell for us to get over there and help. I drew my sword and ran to help them. As it turned out, they were being attacked by-

Percy's POV:

"-stymphalian birds! This is bad, very bad," Percy said. "I have seen these. They are nearly impossible to get rid of. Thalia, do you know what to do?"

Thalia shook her head. I was starting to get desperate. Then I noticed Ariadne get the water and disintegrate all the lower birds.

Then she yelled, "Percy, get out of here! I'm going to stop these birds! I know what to do!"

"Ariadne, you can't stop these birds alone. They are nearly impossible to kill. I'll stay and help you! I won't let you die," I yelled. I wasn't going to let anything happen to her.

"You have to trust me on this! I've fought these birds before. Now, go!"

I finally agreed, and when I left, there was a rumbling and the ground shook. I ran back to see what happened, and all the birds were dust. She didn't see one start to reform, but I did. I dived in front of Ariadne, and got hit in my weak spot. Before I blacked out, I heard Ariadne scream in pain, then it was silent.

Will's POV:

When I heard the scream, I ran for Percy and Ariadne. They were bleeding, and I yell for Thalia to message Apollo. She came to ask why, but when she saw Percy and Ariadne, she didn't ask.

After about five minutes of healing on Percy, I moved on to Ariadne. I admit, when I saw her, my heart broke. She looked so lifeless. I did my best to heal her, and I couldn't do as well, but she woke up. I was tired, but relieved. Then she saw Percy. He hadn't woken up yet.

"Percy! Oh, Percy, wake up. Wake up! I can't lose you. You and Will are the best things that ever happened to me."

She was crying as she said these words. Then I saw Apollo. He walked over to me and said, "Hey, you need to sleep. I will take care of Percy."

I nodded, but instead of sleeping immediately, I went and pulled Ariadne aside, and we had a make-out session. She messed up my hair, and I pulled hers out of the ponytail before Apollo turned and saw us. He just laughed. We turned red when we saw him looking at us, but he just shrugged, and said Percy would be up soon, but that I needed rest. So I went to the campsite and passed out.

Ariadne's POV:

Soon after Will left, Percy woke up. When he sat up, I ran over to him and hugged him. I couldn't believe Gaea had done that to him. It didn't seem fair.

"So, Percy, what do you remember?" I asked.

"I was protecting you from getting hit by the Stymphalian birds, and I passed out. That's pretty much it," he answered.

I nodded, and told him Will was sleeping and that we should too. I helped him over to our tent, where Thalia was sitting, waiting for us. She got up, and hugged us.

"Thank gods you're both okay. I was so worried! Get some rest. We have to go now, for Artemis' special assignment."

I nodded, and put Percy down. I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

I won't take time to explain my dream, because it was mainly Gaea saying "I told you so."

A/N: what do you think? Better? Dramatic? Action-y? A little of all? Give me your comments and favorite please! K bye! C you all next update!
