Katie POV
I move with the rhythm of my beating heart. I twist to face the monster before me. An ugly empusa starts toward me, and I slash her arm with my knife. I quickly turn and stab her in the back, and she falls to the floor.
I turn to find Travis struggling against a gorgon. "Travis!" I scream and he looks my way, just in time for the gorgons teeth to sink in his chest.
I rush to him, putting his head in my lap, as I kneel next to him. "No, no no! Travis, stay with me!" I say with hot tears streaming down my face. "Will! Somebody find Will! Help!" I scream at the people around me.
Everybody seems frozen in place, as if time has frozen, leaving only me and a dying Travis.
"No, please Travis, you can't go! Stay with me, it's gonna be okay!" I tell him, cradling his head.
"Katie, I'm sorry," His blue eyes glaze over and I burst into tears.
It's all my fault. If I hadn't yelled his name, he would be with me right now.
As if on cue, as soon as Travis is gone, the world unfreezes, and the gorgon attacks me, and I scream.
It's all my fault.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up with tears streaming down my face, and an ear curdling scream escapes my mouth as I sit up. My breathing is heavy, and I begin to overthink. I've always had nightmares, but never this bad. Normally I can just shake it off, but this is different. Travis died in my dream, and I'm a demigod, so my dreams mean something. But what?
With these horrible thoughts, comes a new wave of tears. I bring my knees to my chest and sob.
