Chapter 14: It was Only A Nightmare...Or Was It?
I collapsed on my bunk and fell asleep again. This time I had no dreams and when I woke up in the morning I was almost convinced that last night had just been a bad dream.
I decided to talk to either Connor or Travis to get their advice and maybe some help.
I managed to catch Connor alone after breakfast and he listened in silence when I told him about the night's events.
"Well," he said finally "I'm sure that it was a dream but if you want we could try another Iris Message."
I thought about that but I decided that if it was just a dream, Bianca would not be too pleased if I Iris Messaged her in the middle of a battle or something.
"No," I said eventually, "But thanks anyway, Connor."
"No problem, Nico." he said "And if you ever need someone to talk to I'll always be here."
I nodded and he smiled and walked away from me into the Strawberry fields.
I stared after him for a while and thought long and hard about last night. That high ringing in my ears had sounded so real but how could Percy have let Bianca die?
I tried to shake off the thoughts. Percy had promised to do his best to protect my sister and for what it was worth, despite what Hades had said in my dream, I trusted Percy to keep that promise and I knew that if last night wasn't a dream then I could never forgive him.
I stormed away into the woods. I knew perfectly well that I shouldn't have gone in alone but I didn't really care.
I needed to get away and do some serious thinking. I heard a rustling sound behind me and I released that a large hairy thing was coming and was about to charge.
