Ch. B11: Nightmares

Yin often dreamt of past events ether ancient battles or peaceful bliss though even before he fell asleep Yin knew something bad was coming. Two things bothered the son of Prometheus one; how had so many Romans and Greeks made it to Alaska without the Camps knowing. The second was the Weakness Yang had shown in front of Demise. Yang had never asked for help, even in losing battles it just wasn't him. Yet Yin was sure his brother had been on the verge of tears when asked to spill the beans about trying to kill Demise.

Yin groaned looking up at the plane white ceiling of his dorm. His bed was far too warm and his mind to restless to sleep. Ever since two weeks ago when He'd taken Yang's place in the Top Four powers of Camp Kronos Yin's mind had been working in overdrive. Yin had been spending hours reading ancient war books and guide written by brilliant generals but that wasn't what stuck with him. Everything about fist fighting to Free Running to swordplay to throwing knife or how to fight with minimal or maximum casualties is what stuck firmly.

Sure Yin could read any language but what he wanted to learn; how to lead or even be a General never held. Yin had thought about it for hours thinking why a Son of Prometheus the most reasonable Titan should have such a way with weapons it boggled his mind.

Yin used to think of himself as a pacifist. Now after the way he'd destroyed both Romans and Greeks Yin had no idea what his ideals were. Much less why he blew up after being threatened the same way his father was punished.

"Why..." Yin asked aloud knowing no one would hear him. "Why is it that I am this way? Why not Yang? Of all the Titans to have for a Parent why do I seem the most dangerous?"

"Simple you grew up being bullied." the Voice of Alanna said from the darkness making Yin jump as his eyes focused. "Don't worry just had to pause time so the Dracaena wouldn't find me."

"Yeah no problem." Yin said as he sat up swinging his legs so he sat on the edge of his bed. "Couldn't sleep?"

"I'm here aren't I?" Alanna countered weakly as she sat next to Yin on the bed.

"Yes." Yin agreed trying to clear his mind of Logic that made so much sense it almost hurt. "I attacked those teens without Mercy... Most won't be able to walk for months... I didn't even think about killing when I summoned the flames of Knowledge."

"Yin they are our enemies and they would've killed you or me without a single doubt." Alanna said confidently.

"I'm surprised you remembered." Yin said coldly changing the subject.

"What about being bullied when we were younger?" Alanna asked.

"Yeah do you remember why they stopped?" Yin asked a smile forming.

"An Eagle swooped down with Neck Lacer and you threatened to use it." Alanna said remembering the event. "The bullies were stupid and thought you'd snapped."

"Yeah we were seven right?" Yin asked grinning as he glanced at his golden Money Clip sitting on his dresser.

"Yeah haven't bothered you since." Alanna leaned back laying on Yin's bed. "Can you guess why I can't sleep?"

"Tell me." Yin said coolly hoping it didn't have to do with any wink, wink at such a late hour.

"It's mostly the same as you..." Alanna said fiddling with her Golden dark hair. "When I was fighting though it didn't feel liberating but... I almost felt dread creep up on me when I used Backbiter."

"It was your father's blade." Yin said closing his eyes.

"Yeah I don't like thinking about it." Alanna said softly afraid to admit that Yin was the only person who made her feel normal or more importantly Love her for her not her father. It sounded simple in her head, which made her scared to say. It was a stupid phobia of looking dumb to one of the smartest guys at camp. "Still I bet Demise has a nice lecture planned for breakfast tomorrow."

"Yeah..." Yin said yawning looking at his digital clock which read 11:23 am. Yin leaned back on his bed noticing Alanna was gone she had excelled at using time within the past two weeks. "Happy early Birthday."

"Ahhhh!" Yin roared in his dream lashing out with Neck Lacer. The Demititans opponents were two demigod girls one Reyna and the other a blond. There was complete chaos surrounding Camp Kronos an all-out war was ragging with Demise fighting Jason and another boy.

Yin roared in anger as the son of Hyperion knocked the boy to the ground stomping his chest. Yin knew he needed to act now or never as a voice filled his dream.

'The seven must be judged you must choose now or never the time will tell.'

Yin bolted upright as his alarm blared. "Right morning..."
