Camp Half-Blood: Origins Revealed {Discontinued}

Chapter III Dreams

     Doctor Summers said that I shouldn't be back at school until Wednesday.

     Monday none of the others went to school, Dad thought I should have them with me. We spent the whole day sitting in the room getting to know the Stolls.

     We learned that Connor is one year and four days younger than Travis. Travis was born June 3rd, 1995 in a helicopter over California, and Connor was born June 3rd, 1996 in that same helicopter over Texas. Their Mom was a reporter and their Dad delivers mail, which Travis says is an understatement.

     Apparently, Connor had gotten a scar just above his hip.

     "Speaking of scars," Hailey looked from Connor to me," Will you show us yours?"

     Everyone looked at me. I lifted my shirt a few inches above my belly button so they could see the jagged scar.

     "If only it was on your forehead." Taylor laughed.

     "Shut up," I grumbled.

     The rest of the day was like that.

     Tuesday I went home and Hailey played sick at my house with Adi. Andrew went to school though, so did Taylor.

     Someone knocked on the door the second everyone been let out of school.

     I opened the door to see Connor ready to knock again, causing him to almost punch me in the process.

     "Hey, Connor. You do know the bell just rang, you should've waited a little longer so you could at least appear to have gone to school."

     "Sorry. I just couldn't wait any longer to see you." With that he looked down at his feet, blushing. "I can wait outside if you want me to."

     I stepped to the side and opened the door a little more. "You coming in?" I asked sarcastically.

     Connor's head shot up and he was smiling. He walked in and Andrew, Travis, and Taylor we're walking up the porch steps.

     "Hey," I smiled at my sister and my friends.

     "Hey, Lex," Andrew said.

     "Lex, who's at the- oh. Hey Andrew." Adi said. Hailey was standing behind her.

     I went back to my room with the others right behind me. Hailey and I sat on my bed and Adi sat at my desk next to us. The Stolls sat at the foot of my bed, Taylor and Andrew sat with their backs against the bed over by Adi.

     We sat and talked for hours until my Dad said it was time for dinner. "Okay, after you guys eat you need to go home." Directed mainly at Connor and Travis.

Ω¤Ω

     The next morning I was still a bit slow but I was ready to go fairly fast considering what I'd been through.

     "Taylor why are you going slower than usual." I joked.

     We got out the door 5 minutes after I said that. I sat with Hailey and Adi while Taylor went and sat with the Hunter twins, Leo and Diana.

     "I need to tell you guys something," I said when the boys showed up.

     Hailey noticed the seriously scared look in my eyes. "What is it?" She asked.

     "Well, I had This dream. I was on a rooftop, holding hands with, uh-"

     "You were holding hands with who?" Adi smirked.

     "I was holding hands with, Connor. Hailey was on the other side of me and behind us were two kids I've never met. There was a humanoid figure shrouded in shadows. There was fog everywhere, and Connor pulled me closer to him," Heat flooded my face. "The figure's eyes glowed gold as it said, 'Beware the sixth,' in a voice that was vaguely familiar to me. The figure stepped forward and my dream shifted."

     I looked up to see that Connor, who had been listening intently, was staring at me as if I'd just told him that I love him. "What did you see when the dream shifted?" Connor asked.

     "Four kids about our age. There was a boy standing in a shredded t-shirt. His hair was dark and dirty, his eyes were fiery orange and his face was smeared with dirt. Across from him, three kids standing, ready for a fight. The farthest from where I was looking was a girl with black hair and grey eyes."

     "Bwahaha. Percy would die if he heard this." Connor said. "He's a kid from camp." He clarified.

     "Anyway, next to her was another girl. The second girl looked kinda like Connor, but she had my eyes. Her hair was a brown sugar color, like Connor's but she had blonde tips and she was wearing a necklace, like mine but her coin was gold, not silver. And it was on her wrist." I started fiddling with my necklace. "The boy next to her was holding her hand. He reminded me of my old friend Leo. Like seriously, if Leo had a kid, this would be him. Only his eyes weren't Leo's, they were a golden almond color."

     "Who's Leo," Connor asked.

     "Only her best friend from when she lived in Texas," Adi said.

     "Leo and I would hang out at his Mom's machine shop. Once, when I wasn't there, there was a fire. He made it out but his Mom didn't, and Leo had to go to a foster home. I thought I'd never see him again. I moved to Arlington and on my second day of school, Leo walked in. I nearly knocked him over when I hugged him. I moved again, and he ran away soon after. I promised myself that if I ever saw him again I would never move away again."
