HIIIIIIIIII! Please comment and fav and follow! Or at least comment! Tell me what you like and what you don't like! Help me make my story even better :) This is made from a dream I had. It was less but similar so I upped it and made it useful to the story. But I made it and it helps because I know what its like to be haunted by nightmares. Remember, Sarita means Sarah, or Little Sarah. I don't want to constantly put that on the bottom, I think it's pretty self explanatory.

The whole world shook around me. I looked down to find that I was standing on brown grass and wilted flowers. The earth seemed dead. Thunder rumbled and I looked up to see a red sky and black and grey clouds. The sky was on fire and the clouds were its ash and smoke. Lightening struck not far and more thunder rumbled. I knew I had get out of here.

I looked around but there was nothing but desolated earth for what seemed like miles. Still, I ran. I didn't know where I was running, I just hoped it was away from the oncoming storm. Lightning continued to strike behind me and the thunder shook the ground but I continued running. I looked up to see dark clouds moving in overhead. There was no escaping the storm.

I stopped to breathe and watch as it started to rain; except it wasn't normal rain. I stuck my hand out and a drop of red fell into my palm. I examined the rain closely. Blood. It was raining blood. The loud clap of thunder brought me back to life and I started running again.

I hurried along, unsure of where I was going. Around me the whole world stormed in a nightmarish way. It was like the world was ending, right here, right now. Thunder boomed over head and it started to rain harder. I stumbled along trying to keep my feet under me and jump over puddles of blood. As I ran I found a patch flowers laying on the ground, dead like everything else. Still, at least it meant the scenery was changing and I wasn't just running forever.

I looked up to see a black dot in the distance. As I got closer I realized it was a cave. Finally, something I can take cover in. That's when the screaming started. I blood curdling scream raised all around me. I covered my ears in a desperate attempt to block it out. I tripped on something and fell to the ground with a splash. I looked at my foot to find some plant wrapped around my ankle. I pulled desperately and finally got my foot untangled. I had to keep moving. I quickly got off the ground and continued running towards the cave which was slowly coming into view.

It was a downpour now and the wind swirled around me putting my hair in my face making it hard for me to see. Lightning struck closer and I was afraid that if I were out here for any longer I would turn into burnt dust. I looked around at the sights surrounding me. All Hell had broken loose.

I looked up to find the cave closer than ever. I was right there. The world screamed again and lightning stuck right next to me. I jumped to the side as the dirt flew up in the air. I was only feet away from the cave. I couldn't stop now. The screaming got louder still and lightning struck right behind me. I quickly dove into the cave and landed on the hard rock, just barely missing the strike.

I got up and looked outside the cave, the storm was still happening but it was silent. No more thunder, no more screaming, dead silence. I walked along the inside of the cave, every step echoing. It was dark and cold, but still better than outside. I reached what I thought was the end of the cave when the scene shifted around me.

I was now standing on a marble floor behind a wall. I peered out carefully behind it trying to make sense of what was going on. I saw two shadowy figures talking. "Two must not be killed. You must leave one boy and one girl for our Master," One of them said with a growl.

The other one sneered. "We can kill the rest though. There's still five more to have fun with."

I tried to look closer and see who was talking but it was too dark. Only a small portion of the room was light dimly with a small light hanging from the ceiling, and they stood in the shadowy part of the room. I lowered my breathing and tried to be as quiet as possible. How was I going to get out of here? The two figures continued talking about how exactly they were going to destroy the other five when one of them held a hand up for silence.

He stuck his nose in the air and sniffed. "I smell a demigod," He spoke with a smirk in his voice. His head turned to where I was hiding and I did my best to stifle my gasp. What was I going to do? I had no weapons, I had no where to run, I was doomed. I stayed behind my wall trying to stay as covered up as possible. "Come here little demigod," He said as if I were a dog and he was going to give me a treat. I stayed where I was at trying not to breathe too hard. "I said, come here!" He shouted running over to where I was at and grabbing me by the hair, yanking me to the ground. I screamed in pain and fear and fell to the floor.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?" I yelled desperately trying to figure out who my attackers were. I looked at the tip of a sword being held to face. The guy who had torn me from my hiding spot walked out into the light and I finally saw what his face looked like. He had bright silver eyes that glowed as if they were the moon. He had curly brown hair all over his body and sharp pointy features. His ears stuck more to the top of his head and pointed at the ends with hair, almost like a dogs.

The creature smiled at me and sent chills down my spine. He had pointy teeth the shined as if ready to tear though nearly anything. "Look what we found," he sneered to the still shadowed figure, "Another demigod. He bent down next to me and looked in my eyes with his silvery ones. He traced a long fingernail that looked like a claw down my cheek, "You're not one of the seven," he noted grabbing a strand of my hair. "No, you're a..." he sniffed my hair and then looked back at me, "Spare." He spoke the words and the seemed to brand into my skin.

"Please, let me go. You don't want me. I'll leave and never come back or tell anybody about this, I promise." I begged desperately. I just wanted to get out of here. Alive, preferably.

The dog looking creature laughed and my skin crawled. "Did you hear that?" he asked turning to the other figure. "She wants us to let her go." He laughed again. "Oh, no, Sweetheart, we don't just let people go. Hmmm, do you know the seven?"

I wasn't positive but I was pretty sure the seven were the people on the ship. I nodded. "Yes, I know them." I prayed that this would get me out of here.

"Hmmm... maybe we could use you. Tell us do you have any information?" he asked resting his claw on my neck.

"Information? Like what?" I asked carefully.

He pressed his claw deeper into my skin drawing blood. "Like how they plan on defeating Gaea."

I gulped. "N-no not really."

His eyes narrowed into mine and he studied me carefully. "She's useless. Kill her." He said as he got up and looked at the other figure.

"No! No! Please!" I screamed as he dragged me by the hair across the floor, closer to the other figure. "Please! I'll do anything! No, please! Don't kill me!" The creature looked up at the shadowy figure and nodded. I watched horrifically as the figure pulled out an axe and raised it above his head. I stared at the axe with wide eyes. "No! Please, don't do this!" I yelled as the axe seemed to swing down in almost slow motion. "NO!"

I shot up in bed, sweat dripping from my forehead as I tried to get my eyes to focus on my dark room. I sat there for a minute trying to catch my breathe when I finally heard someone calling my name.

"Sarah. Sarah. Are you okay?" The light switched on and I looked over to find Leo Valdez starring at me worriedly.

I squinted at him and forced myself to talk. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine."

Leo didn't seem convinced. He walked over and sat in a chair next to my small, hospital like bed. "Nightmare?" he asked softly.

"Yeah, it's fine. I'm fine," I said giving him what I hoped was a reassuring look. "Why are you in here?"

"Oh, I was in the engine room and I was going up to the deck for my watch and I heard you screaming so I figured I would come and make sure you're okay," he explained.

"Well, I'm fine," I assured him.

He gave me a look as if knowing that I wasn't. I was still shaken up from my dream. "Here, try this," Leo said taking out a couple of machine parts from his tool belt and handing them to me.

I stared at them in confusion. "What do you want me to do with this?"

"Try building something to help calm you down, that's what I do."

I stared at him questioningly. "Build what exactly?"

He shrugged. "Dunno. Just, whatever. Whatever comes to mind. I usually just absent mindly fiddle with stuff and, boom, some creation," He said pulling out some machine parts himself.

I stared at him trying to figure out if he was joking. He seemed serious. I sighed, "Fine. But I don't think this is going to work," I said doubtfully.

"It'll be fine. So, what was this dream about?" he asked innocently.

I shook my head. "I don't wanna talk about it," I said. I wanted to forget it.

Leo frowned. "Maybe if you talk about it you'll feel better." I shook my head again. Leo sighed. "Alright, fine. Can you at least tell me if you've ever had that dream before?"

I shook my head again still trying to put pieces together. "No, not this nightmare. This was the first time. Actually it was the first time I had a nightmare in a while."

"Hmm, maybe you had it because you met us and are on this ship. Did it have anything to do with us?" he asked.

My heart stopped. I don't think I should tell him about what they said. They already know they're in danger, I mean they're the ones who signed up for this quest. Maybe it was best if I kept what I saw to myself. I shook my head gently. Leo looked at me accusingly, he knew I was lying. Damn it. I looked down at the mess in my hands. There was nothing done. I had two wheels put together with a spring on top. Nothing about it made sense. "What am I even supposed to be doing?" I said looking at Leo annoyed. Leo looked at the mess in my hands and laughed. I stare at him angrily, "Don't laugh! You're the one who had the bright idea for me to do this!" I yelled throwing the pieces down on the bed.

Leo did his best to hide his smile. "Sorry, I thought maybe it would work and you would build something," he said innocently holding up a small car.

"How...?" I asked looking at it amazed. It had been no more than five minutes.

"Son of Hephaestus, remember?"

I groaned. "Right, well I'm obviously no child of Hephaestus," I said motioning to the parts lying on the bed.

Leo laughed, "That's good though, one less possibility. Plus, now we know you're not related to me," he said optimistically.

"You're right, that is a plus. I don't know what I would do if I had to call you my brother," I said making a gagging motion.

Leo swatted my arm playfully. "Aw, c'mon, I'm not that bad."

"Yes, you are," I laughed.

"Alright, well, since the building didn't work out, tell me, what do you like?" Leo asked curiously.

I thought for a minute. There was lots of things I like, archery, food, dogs,and I was really liking this whole bed thing. Then it hit me, "Music!" I said happily. Yes, I've always enjoyed music.

"Music, huh?" Leo said pulling out some machine parts. "And you said you use a bow, right?"

"Yup," I nodded watching as Leo pulled more pieces out of his tool belt. It occurred to me that it was a little strange that he had all of these pieces in his tool belt. I was exceptionally amazed when he pulled out a screwdriver out of his belt. The pockets seemed empty but he was constantly puling stuff out. "How...?" I asked pointing the tool belt.

Leo looked up at me and laughed. "It's magic. I can pull pretty much anything out of here. Well, anything machine related. Pretty cool, huh?" he asked still building something.

"Wow, that's really nice." I watched his hands continue to steadily put parts together. "What are you doing?" I said eyeing him suspiciously.

He looked up at me with a sly grin on his face. "Shh, just wait." He said looking back down. "So, what kind of music do you like?"

I thought for a second but I was unable to make up my mind. "I like everything really. Well, except some country music. Most of it sounds exactly the same, nothing unique. But if I did have to choose I would probably go with Classical. Specifically orchestra. I love the way the viola's and cello's flow peacefully together, almost as one." I wasn't able to listen to a lot of music while I lived in Greece, you know the whole being poor and homeless thing kind of came into play there. But before I was left there I would listen to music all the time with my mom. She'd put it on a speaker and dance around the room with me. When I got to Greece I learned different ways to listen to music. Sometimes if I sat outside someones house, I could hear music if they played it loud enough. It never really mattered what kind they played, I was okay with anything I could get at that point. Those days just sitting there listening were the best days.

"And... done!" Leo shouted holding up a small statue. It was an archer holding a bow, ready to fire. He handed it to me and it was small enough to fit in my hand. "Wind it up," he said. I turned the toy around and found a small handle and turned it. The statue sprung to life and an orchestra started playing a soft melody from it. "Oh, careful!" Leo yelled as the arrow shot out of the toy bow. It hit the wall with a soft thunk.

I laughed, "Leo, this is so cool," I marveled at it.

"Why, thank you," Leo said standing up taking a bow. "Well, that's all from me," he said walking to the door. "Night, Sarita," he said with a wink and then disappeared closing the door behind him.

"Night, Leo," I said softly winding up the toy and setting it on the small table. I feel asleep listening to the peaceful music. If I had a any nightmares that night, I didn't remember them.
