Chapter 5:

-Percy's POV-

"Alex." I slowly whispered. "Please wake up."

It's been hours since Alex had lost consciousness. I don't know what to do anymore. I felt stupid for panicking a while ago. I should have listened to her; Max and Justin are indeed just fooling around. She probably thinks I'm a freak right now.

The thing that wonders me is how Alex did know that there is something wants her dead. She completely knew the next thing that I would have said.

I should not let my questions about her dream let that slip away easily. I should have asked her more about it. I have a very bad feeling about it actually. The way she said my name, I can tell that it's not the type of a dream where a girl dreams about the guy she likes and they live happily ever after, It's a dream of knowing. A dream of knowing something she shouldn't.

I lied to Justin when he came up and saw Alex unconscious. He tried to wake her up, but it's useless. I did it many times and it didn't do any help. She's still a prisoner on her own dreams.

I look at her and gently stroked her cheeks. She looks so beautiful and innocent. The sun kissed her skin perfectly, making her skin looks like it's glowing. I will not forgive myself if something bad happened to her. I've known her for less than a day but it felt like I've known her for a thousand years. I have to protect her. I want to protect her.

-Alex's POV-

I felt strong wind brushed into my skin. I heard gasp from the people who just stood there waiting for me to die. What did I do to make these things happen to me? Yes, I was never been that good citizen but I was never that evil.

I let my eyes open slowly and suddenly wish I didn't. There standing 5 feet away from me is a woman with a snake hair and I exactly knew who she is.

Medusa

I felt the urge to run for my life. So I stand up and run. I should have run to those people who've been watching me but I didn't, because I know that they will not help me. they will not.

I run faster than I could ever imagine. There's no stopping now, everywhere's not safe. My faith is losing, I know that I'm going to die soon but at least tried to put up a fight before dying in failure, but my death will be sooner if I did that. but what does it matter? Shit. My head hurts thinking, If i should put up a fight or not. I don't know what to do anymore.

I start to panic as my legs collapsed. All right, I'm going to die. I tried to crawl and hide behind the trunk of the tree near by. I watch my surroundings carefully, waiting for something to come. a help perhaps? but I know that wouldn't come in the middle of the forest. the only help i can have is a miracle and the only one who will show up is Medusa.

"SSSSSSS"

I heard her or her hair?

I grab a stick nearby; like that will do any help but it still feels different when you're holding something that you can throw to that awful creature.

"We have to help her. She's helpless."

I rolled my eyes. What the? They're following me. Great now I feel secured.

"Not yet Annabeth. We have to see her potential. We have to see how powerful she is." someone replied.

Annabeth is with them, now that's one hell out of surprise. She's one of them. She's one of those who stood there and watch me die. Plus where these powers came from, the only power i know is wizard's magic, and that's not even a power and that wouldn't do any help right now, because I'm too tired to remember those spells I've encountered. Hell I don't even know what help it will do.

"SSSSSSSSSSS"

There it goes again. Shit. The only thing I can do right now is to ask for help.

"Help please." I whispered. Hoping that even one of those people waiting for me to die, has a heart beating. My eyes start to fill with tears. I don't want to die now, especially not in this state. What did I ever do to the world to make me punish like this? If there's an Almighty God up there watching our every moves, my only prayer right now is some word that starts with h and followed by elp.

"Chiron is right. We have to wait."

My heart skipped a beat. I know that voice from anywhere. It's the voice that always greets me every morning. It's the voice that tells me I'm smart and beautiful. It's the voice of someone who told me that he will protect me no matter what. It's the voice that always made me feel safe. It's the voice of someone who told me he loves me. It's the voice of a traitor. Percy Jackson.

My eyes start to fill up with tears. How can he do this to me? I trusted him. I trusted him my whole life. All of those things he told me, now i completely know they are all lies. They are all one stupid part of this big plan to kill me.

"SSSSSSSSSSSS"

I turn my gaze to the stupid sound and found Medusa's tail. She's here. She found me. Great, because I'm so ready for her. If a fight they want, it's a fight that they will see.

I can't take this anymore. I am so mad at the world for putting me in this state. I'm so mad at Justin for agreeing for this trip. I'm so mad at myself for letting some pretty boy fool me. I'm so mad at myself for falling from his spell. I'm so mad at him for lying to me. I'm so mad at him for betraying me. I hate him.

I grab myself and tried to stand up. My mind is full of the faces of the people who betray and hurt me. Mason, Taylor, Annabeth, Grover and the last guy I think that would betray me. Percy.

My mind is set. I'm going to put up a fight. I'm going to die anyway. Maybe not now, but I know I will.

My eyes start to fill with tears as I heard her again. I can feel that she's closer. I can sense her.

"SSSSSSSSSSSS"

I stand up straight and chin my head, hoping that I look brave. I immediately wiped the tears that fall to my cheeks. It's time.

"Close your eyes." Percy said.

But I didn't. I don't trust him anymore. I don't trust anyone anymore.

Medusa is standing 5 feet away from me. I can feel her eyes landing to every part of my body, examining me. I glared at her, feeling the heat that warms up my body. I can feel a power within me. a power that I now process. My surrounding starts to brighten up. Within a second I can't see anything but a bright light that surrounds me. Then I collapsed.

I can feel the warmth of my bed as I open my eyes slowly. The dream, what does it mean?

"Hey." I was unaware that Percy's here.

"You scared me." He said as he cupped my cheeks.

I immediately pull back. I know I shouldn't. But my dream.

I don't know what to do anymore. I look at him, trying to figure things out. Who are you really? I silently asked.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I want to be alone." I said harshly. I have to be alone.

He looked at me confused then he nod.

"I'll be downstairs."

"No. Go Home." I replied and pull the sheets of my bed.

I face the other way hoping that he will leave soon.

A tear falls into my cheeks as I heard the door closed.

I'm sorry for updating too long. I have been busy to school and stuffs but I promise next chapter will be long.

And also if you have some ideas in mind 'bout the story.

please feel free to tell me.
