The air was cold and it was dark. I couldn't see anything… but in the back of my mind, I knew that I was dreaming.
"Charles?" I heard the little girl whimper.
"Shh… quiet, Silena." He mumbled.
"I'm scared."
"I'll take care of you... I'll get you home." He promised her.
There was a flash of brilliant light and then a cry: "Charles!"
When the darkness dissolved I could see Charles standing in a forest, looking frantically around. "Silena!"
"Charles!"
"Where are you?"
"I don't... err..." Her voice faded out as if she was going farther and farther away, "Silena!"
I sat up straight in my bed and looked around in the darkness.
It was 2 am and here I was; wide-awake.
I got up and pulled my robe around my shoulders going to the door.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the carton of ice cream out of the Freezer, and I started eating without even thinking... all I knew was that I was sad. I'm the one who knows what's going to happen. The only other people who know are unattainable. Rachel... eh. I could see her but we don't really get along. The gods know but it's a bit impracticable to call up the gods for a chat.
I whimpered, letting out a tear. It was dark in the kitchen. The only light came from the open window. I could see the full moon outside...
"Annabeth?" The words were soft and the light flickered on so I saw Sally standing in the doorway. I quickly wiped my tears away. "Oh, what's wrong Annabeth?" She asked, walking over to me.
"It's just..." I looked into her eyes and longed to tell her… I need someone to know. I need to be able to talk to her... "Sally, can I tell you something…?"
"Anything Annabeth."
I closed my eyes and turned to a chair. "Lets sit." I mumbled to her, sitting down. "All of this... stuff is kind of weird. I don't know if you know but
demigods have dreams... sort of insights into the future.. and; lately I've been dreaming about these two little kids.. Charles and Silena. Silena has
grey fiery eyes and Charles looks just like Percy. Exactly. Anyway these kids have been in trouble and stuff. Hellhounds and monsters attacking them and
stuff. Then... the grim reaper came to see them. He tried to kill Silena but Charles wouldn't let him… he said that he would have to kill him too." I
mumbled quietly.
"So your worried for the kids?"
"Well... yes. But these kids aren't just some random demigods. I didn't realize it until a few days ago. And then I had another dream. And then
Poseidon talked to me about it. And err. I don't know how to say this...." I pulled my hair into a tight pony tale and grimaced. "Sally. Their mine and
Percy's kids. I don't know if I ever told you about the prophecy. The next Great Prophecy... It tells of seven half bloods going. And meeting some sort
of Storm of fire where the world must fall... then something about the oath to Keep with a final breath.... then foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. I
have no idea what it means... but I know it's them. They're two of the half bloods that go on the prophecy. My... babies. And I keep worrying about them
and the dreams won't stop. I just... I don't know anything about them. They aren't even real yet.. but I love them.. little courageous Charles and sweet
Silena.. It's mad. I know it is. I've never even met them, but I love themlike crazy... and I can't stop worrying about them. I don't know why. I really
don't. It's not logical to worry now. They don't exist now.. it's not even happening now but I can't stop thinking about them.. and dreaming about them.. gods."
I looked up at her with a sigh. "Well.." She mumbled. "It must be nice.. knowing you and Percy.. well. That's the only bright side I can find in this." She laughed, taking a spoon from the drawer and sticking it in the tub of ice cream. "I.. that's got to be scary Annabeth.. I know. It was terrible when I found out about Percy. Poseidon came and told me when he was about five.. he told me that the monsters would be coming and that I should take him to camp.. but I was selfish. I wanted to keep him close to me... I kept him." She laughed to herself. "I know how it is.. but don't worry. They'll be safe. Believe me. What I've seen of Poseidon's power and what I know of Athena's power.. they'll be able to fight their way out. I promise. They won't be completely defenseless either.. you guys can help them to an extent. Poseidon and Athena couldn't interfere, but you guys could help them.. a bit. With the combined powers of Athena and Poseidon... they will be okay."
I smiled at her, wiping the last of my tears away. "Thanks Sally." I mumbled, hugging her. "It feels great to be able to talk to someone about it.. I could
never tell Percy.." I mumbled to her.
"Tell Percy what?" Percy asked, walking in the room.
I know it's a really shortish chapter but... er. anyway.
I would like to say this: thanks so much to kingsalmon16 who gave me the idea for this chapter! YOU ROCK! and a special thanks to dove's wings for being an awesome bata! :) YAY MY PEEPS!
