Special thanks to DragoNik for helping me with the prophecy. Also, he helped me with ideas for Percy's future. *cue eerie and/or futuristic music* *Aplause*
Well, I really don't have any inspiration to finish this story. No, its not that I don't want to write it actually, but more that I don't know what to write about... Should I do this? Should I do that? It's that type of dilemma. So, in your wonderful reviews, please leave any suggestions you want for the next chapters!
Disclaimer: I am not a man with a ADHD and dyslexic son or a person who created Inception. There are some things that remind me of that movie in here, so, yeah...
seaweed brain24256: That is a very good movie and you need to see that! :P
DragoNik: The twisted school system here is called "Red Clay Consolidated School District" that makes us start school in August. I hate it.
Without any further interruptio-
HEY I JUST REALIZED I'M BLASTING GREEN DAY THROUGH MY HEADPHONES! :P
Anyway, *glares at the annoying and immiture half of me* here's the next chapter! :P
Grinning at me from across one of New York's busy streets was Percy. His goofy smile widend as he waved me over. I could feel myself smiling back as I stepped into the street, signaling to the cars that I was crossing. It was so good to see Percy again, after, after... After what?There was no war, no good Percy again. Is this a dream? Wait, try to remember how I got here. I can't! All I remember is standing across a random street from him. Now think about what's strange. There's no one here but me and him. And he doesn't have his usual bright green eyes. Instead, it was a cold, hard, merciless gold.
"Kronos." I snarled, my voice dangerously low as the anger grew inside of me. How could that creeper- definition- one who creeps(A/N That's actually the real definition! LOL :P)- think he could use Percy like that? And how could he take my cousin? He was the only family I had! That, that asshole!
"Aw, you figured out my little cerade. Too bad." He said as if he cared(Wait, he could read minds?). The truth actually is that he could care less about any of this as long as he got his way. But, if I'm here, I'll make sure that he'll never see sunlight again, let alone ever get his way. "Well, now we can make this interesting." He said, smiling and taking something from behind his (Percy's?) back. A scyth. Kronos' scyth, the most powerful weapon ever created. I grabbed my own sword that I didn't know I had with me and stood ready for a fight. For demigods, if you die in a dream, you'll die in the real world too.
Still, no onlookers past. The old, brick bakery behind Kronos remained silent and dormant as we talked. The flower shop behind me never had a customer in the time I had been there. Where was everybody? Even though this is my dream, this was a whole world. Everyone on the earth was in this place. Then, when you went to sleep, you take hold of your body and do whatever. And when you wake up, your body controls itself, sort of like an auto pilot. It travels the 'world' so thats's why you can never remember how you got there but it doesn't seem strange that you're just there because deep down, you know you actually walked there. You can do anything; go anywhere. The thing thats weird though is that no one has come past us, almost like there's a border.
Kronos strutted toward me, scyth ready to slice. I didn't want to do this now! I know I can do it. It's not that I'm scared. I'm not nervous, tired, hungary, feeling dark, doubting the gods, or feeling depressed and emo. There's just no witnesses.
I need to wake up.
But, how?
A kick! You know how when you dream that you fall and you wake up before you hit the ground? That's what I need to do. I'll fall back onto the the pavement to startle myself awake.
I started to lean back until gravity took hold of me and I was falling. Before I was going to hit the ground, my eyes snapped open and my hands jerked at my sides.
My eyes opened to see a dozen staring back. Suprised, I jumped back and fell off the end of the bench of the Hades table and onto the coblestone floor. I yelped- once again, manly shout- as my head hit the ground.
"Ow." I groaned. I heard some snickering from the background... Clarisse.
I sat up slowly and clutched my head in an attempt to make the world stop spinning.
Note to Self: It doesn't work.
Bleary eyed, I could barely make out Chiron through the blur. When my vision returned and I didn't feel like I had just ridden the Gravitron seven times and then ate movie popcorn (you know, when it's soaked in butter and piles of salt lay on top?), I tried to speak.
"Whatidmiss" It came out slurred together, trying to be one word instead of three. I attempted to speak again.
"What happened?" I said, throat dry. Side affects of demi god dreams; dizzyness, nausea, sore throat, and throbbing head. I think that's all.
Chiron knelt next to me-or as close as he could get to kneeling-and put his hand on my shoulder. His conserned eyes looked into mine and he started to explain.
"My boy,-" Well, tried to explain.
"Dude! It looked like you were having a seizure! You were all like-" He started making exploding noises and thrashing around, making a bad impression of a seizure. Give him a break. He's seven and new, claimed by Hermes. Chiron glared at him and began speaking again.
"Anyway, what happed to you? Your eyes were half gold, half black. I know Kronos was involved. Here," He said, holding out his hand for me to take. "Come with me to the big house and we can talk there." He pulled me up and we walked-I walked, he trotted- to the big house together.
We pushed open the screen door and he getured for me to sit on the couch.
"Okay, Nico. Whenever your ready." Chiron said.
I took a deep breath and began to explain. This might take a while.
CHIRON LOOKED at me curiously and stood to walk out the door. I got up and ran after him. Then, he trotted faster.
"No, it's okay, Chiron. You don't have to wait for me. No, I insist. Don't wait for me, I'll be fine. I won't be eaten by harpys." I yelled at the now infinitesimal figure on the grass as I slowed to a stop.
"Well, that was weird." Thalia said from beside me. From being so scared(suprised) I spun around, tripped over air, and fell on my back. Thalia started laughing hard until she couldn't breath. She looked like she was in pain.
"KARMA!" I yelled. I know I could've yelled 'help' or even 'breathe' but that's what came first. And even though she's still laughing, Thalia can look scary. I ran to my cabin and locked the door behind me. I dove under my covers of my bed and hid. I fell asleep to the rhythmic pounding on my door and angry laughing coming from Thalia.
She's gonna kill me tomorrow.
I was n a pitch black... place. I couldn't see anything. Suddenly I heard a voice that could creep out the dead. Even I don't do that!
"Nico, come on Nico. I'm here. I'm waiting." Kronos said. "I'm waiting on your shore!" He said and laughed.
I woke up to the peircing screams of many campers.
The camp was being attacked.
Well, on the bright side, Thalia left.
I personally really like this chapter. And I know you guys probably hate me and almost hunt me down, but you know if you kill me, I can't finish the story! :P
And yes, I do have two sides of my mind.
Anyway, I could've update sooner if the computer didn't die and erase my work, there were no funerals, and school didn't start! I'm so sorry and I'll try to update sooner but no promises.
PLEASE REVEIW!
