The Ocean's Glare - The Lightning Thief

Chapter 15

Chapter 15 - Dreams(II)

Who is creating these titles? I mean, seriously, it's very descriptive. Oh, Percy created it. Well, I still don't like it.

"So, Pey. What do we do now?" asked Travis.

"I guess we wait." I said.

We all ended up falling asleep at one point or another.

"Ah, you are back" said the stupid voice from the pit.

"And you are as idiodic as ever!" I stated.

"I have a new offer. If you bring me the bolt I will spare your brother," said old mean one(I named him that because I didn't know who it was)

"Spare him from what?" I asked curiously.

"When I rise I am going to destroy the western civilization!" declared Old Mean One(trademark pending).

"When I rise I am going to destroy the taco hut," I mocked, "Next!"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I need a different person to play the bad guy. You are too boring." I complained.

"Help me rise! What have the gods done for you?"

"Didn't you ask me this my last dream? My answer is still the same, they have done more than you!"

"I could send someone to help you." Old Mean One offered.

"I could send you a Hermes kid and have him steal your soul." I said, failing to mimik the voice's voice.

"I could pull you into tartarus, you know." said the voice.

"And I could spit in your eye and laugh at you." I told him.

Then, all of a sudden, I felt a dragging feeling and I knew for certain that... he was pulling me into the pit.

"I refuse to help you!" I yelled, twisting and grabbing onto the side of the chasm before I could fall.

"Too late demigod. You are helping me rise!" Then I lost my grip and the next thing I knew I was falling and screaming my lungs out, "Just one word and I will save you." he goaded

"I will never help you!" I yelled then all of a sudden I wasn't falling into the pit I was falling through the air. I felt pine needles stab my back but I was too full of fear to even react before I hit the ground and the air was knocked out of me.

I just lay there for about 5 minutes before I registered my surroundings.

"Hey Peyton, nice of you to drop in." Thalia punned.

I slapped her.

"What the Hades was that for?" she asked.

"You have no idea why I just fell 20 feet from the sky yet you instantly make a joke about it!" I complained.

"You're right, I don't know. I figured you weren't gonna tell me anyway," Thalia stated.

"I just almost fell into the pit thanks for asking." I grumbled.

"You should get off the ground before a bug flies into your mouth." Thalia stated.

"I am dreaming. I can't swallow bugs." I told her.

"Yeah, and I'm a tree." Thalia said, sticking out a hand to help me up. I, being the mature person I am, slapped her hand away and stuck my tongue out.

After I picked myself off the ground I noticed that my pants had ripped. Oh shoot. Can pants rip in a dream?

"Woah! What is wrong with your leg?" asked Thalia.

I haven't mentioned this before but I broke my legs(more accurately Smelly Gabe did) a lot before I went to military school and I didn't know that the bone would grow funny if you didn't set it correctly. My leg is disformed because of my bones growing back at strange angles.

"None of your business." I said, coldly.

"Fine, sorry I asked," Thalia said, putting her hands up.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you." I said sitting down and tossing the pant leg into the distance.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Thalia. I could tell that she didn't really want to talk about it but was asking because she felt like she should.

"No, I should probably make myself wake up or something." I told her.

"Well, if you ever need to talk about your problems I bet we both have plenty to go around." Thalia told me.

Then everything faded and I woke up again.
