Chapter 13: The Darkness With In Teresa

Teresa's POV

After a few hours of yelling Nico took me back to camp.

"Are you ok?"

He asked me. I looked at him.

"No but I will be. Nico please don't tell anyone about what happened."

I said in a tired voice. He kissed my lips before answering me.

"You don't have to worry I wont."

I smiled at him as we went to dinner. I sat down next to dad.

"Whats wrong Teresa?"

Poseidon said. I looked at him.

"Nothing."

I said in a dead voice. Percy was looking at me now.

"You don't seem like your self today."

Poseidon said. I started to play with my food.

"Just got a lot of stuff on my mind."

I said to my food.

"If you need to talk we are here for you."

Percy said I looked at him.

"Thanks. But I think I'm going for a walk."

I said as I got up and headed for the beach. I sat in the sand thinking.

If I did take over my bitch mothers place. Then I would have to leave Nico.

Cause I would stop aging soon. Then a sharp pain stabbed in my heart.

My hands flew up to my chest. Every time I took a breath the pain got worse. Spots started to pop in front of my eyes.

"Teresa whats wrong?"

Nico said as he slid next to me. I looked at him.

When I opened my mouth to tell him. A loud scream of pain came out instead.

Once I started to scream I couldn't stop. I was screaming as if someone was killing me slowly.

Thats what it felt like. Like some was stabbing me over and over in the chest.

I had my eyes closed but I could hear the others running. But before they could get there I blacked out still screaming.

I blotted up growling. I didn't know were I was or how I got here.

"Teresa you are safe."

Said someone to my left. My eyes were still cloudy.

"What happened? All I can remember is pain."

I said then the same voice said.

"You were screaming and holding your chest. Then you past out still screaming every now and then. Hades said its your dark side and we don't know what that means." Once my eyes was back to normal. It was Poseidon talking to me.

Every one was there. Apollo was there looking worried.

On my right was Nico holding my hand. I smiled at him.

The dark side was starting to take over. I looked over a Hades.

"Lord Hades can you tell them what is happing to me."

I said in a weak voice. He smiled a little at me and nodded.

Then he started to tell every one what was going on and who my mother really was.

Zeus didn't look so shock like the others. My vision started change what I was seeing.

First I started to see red then back to normal. Then I could see the shadows and the darkness in every ones soul.

Some has more then others.

"Whats wrong Teresa?"

Zeus said and every one was looking at me.

"You look like you are seeing something that you shouldn't."

Zeus said. I looked at him and I had to close my eyes.

His soul was nothing but pure light.

"You could say that."

I said as I tighten my eyes. I was to scared to opened them.

Thanatos came out of no were.

"It has started. You body is starting to make the change. The more you fight it the painful its going to be. If you fight it to much you will die from the pain."

I opened my eyes to look at him.

"I don't want to be that."

I said in a bitter voice.

"Like it or not you will be come the goddess of night and shadows. You will take our mothers place."

I looked at him rage in my eyes. And all I could see was red.

"See your eyes are a bloodred. You are changing in to what your mother gave up. If you don't want to be like her. Then except who you are and you are going to be."

I didn't want to say what was wrong.

"I cant control the darkness that is in side me."

I said in a low voice. Thanatos looked worried.

"That is not good. If you lose control that wont be good. People could get hurt or even killed. I have to think about it. Its been a very long time but I think my sister had the same problem."

Just as he came he was got again and I wanted to go back to sleep. So I slid down back into my bed.

Every one started to leave even Nico. But I held his hand.

He looked at me.

"Can you stay with me?"

I asked in a weak voice. He smiled at me and was about to sit back down.

"Can you lay with me till I fall asleep"

Nico smiled and took off his shoes and slid in next to me. I smiled as I nuzzled my face into his chest and took in his scent.

"Thank you Nico."

I said as I started to fall asleep.

"Your welcome Teresa. And I wanted to tell you that I love you."

Was all I heard as I fell asleep in his arms.

"I love you to."

Slipped from my lips. . . .
