Elysia POV

I stand at the edge of a cliff. A huge, fiery figure stands in front of me. The glow is so bright I try to put my hands on my forehead to shadow my eyes, but I am frozen in place.
"Come to the mountain. If your'e mother is to be set free, you are to die. You have one week to your mothers doom." A cold shiver runs down my back. I can't move; my mother is tied to a tree, just yards away.

I sit bolt upright, breathing heavily. There is a pool of sweat on my bed. You have one week to your mothers doom... I jerk up and run to get ready. Clothes, hair, teeth, check. I run to the door, just turning a knob when I hear a knock. I jerk the door open, running right past a surprised Jake. I make a B-line for the big house, running as fast as lightning. I almost slam into Chiron but stop short and spill my guts about the dream... but I lie about the fact that I have to die. Chiron says a bunch of things like "It happens again." He finally turns to me and speaks.
"That was a titan; Hyperion. You will be issued a quest in which you can bring two companions. Go see the oracle." he explains what an oracle is, "We will talk after... if you are still sane." I do as told and walk up the hill and into a cave. A red-haired girl sits on the floor.
"Hello?" The girl turns to me. I tell her I need a prophecy and green mist begins to spew from her mouth.

"Three shall go, four shall come,

To confront the one as bright as the sun,

To stumble upon the tall tower

One shall withstand the persuasion of power

Bound to walk a narrow street

And lose one to the Titans feet"

I backed out slowly- I was very scared- and ran back to Chiron. I told them the prophecy and he sent me to find my companions. I went to Allie's cabin first, knocking on the door. She answers it.
"Yes?" God, I don't know how she does it. I could never be that friendly- or polite. I walk in and tell her everything. She agrees to coming with me. On the way back to my cabin, someone grabs me by the waist and spins me around. Oh yeah, I forgot about Jake.
"Mind telling me whats going on?" Jake asks me. I explain- again, like the other times- and leave out the part where I have to die.
"You are my second choice for a companion," I finish.
"Of course, yes, you're no going without me!" he replies, "And I'm sorry about your'e mom." I shrug. He doesn't know. He doesn't know I have to die. I plan on keeping it that way- I have a sneaking suspicion he would try to stop me.
