My Ghost Boy (female reader × Luke Patterson)

Chapter 27: The Dream

After my grandpa went to bed I too went upstairs. I had a strange suspicion that something was very wrong. Grandma was always up when grandpa was. Did they fight? No they never fought even when times got rough. I don't know I have to much on my mind to worry about that.

I went into my room and slid out of my day clothes. I pulled on sleep shorts and am over sized t-shirt. I looked at the time and saw that it was only 9:30. I grabbed the Illiad and started reading where I left off. The last time I read the Illiad was when I was reading it with Luke. I guess I had a whole bunch of stuff to do that. It felt nice again traveling back in time hearing their stories being told.

Finally after an hour of reading I decided to go to bed. I put my book on the night stand and laid down, pulling the covers over my legs and chest. I thought once more about what happened to my grandparents, then closed my eyes and drifted off to a magical place.

My dream seemed to take place in the time of the Greeks and Roman's. I was astonished. I had always wanted to dream something like this and now here it was. I looked down and in my hand I was holding a sword in the other a shield. I looked around me and realized where I was. Mount Olympus. The ceiling never stopped, as it was the sky. I stared in amazement at the architecture. Pillars upon pillars lined the area which I was standing.

I walked on hoping to find something else. Then I saw it. Something I was sure I would never see. All of the Greek Gods lined up like they were waiting for something. When they noticed me approach they bowed. Them the fricking Greek Gods bowed to me?!? The one on the very end held her hand out. "Hello young child" my heart stopped. This is the best dream ever. "I am Hera the Goddess of women, marriage, and childbirth" Hera said defiantly. "Also I am the Queen of the Gods" she put her hand out again and this time. My dream character took it. I shook Heras hand!!!

"You are here for a reason young child, each one of us will take you into a separate room and tell you what is to come of our many talents. First is me" she took my hand and walked me into a very large room. When I stepped in the door shut behind me. Hera turned to me. "Child out of my talents which two would you like to know foryour future to come?" She asked. "I guess marriage and childbirth" I said not really knowing what the answer to women would be.

"Aw yes the most asked in my opinion" she smiled at me and nodded. She placed her hand on my forehead as if she were checking my temperature. She looked up a frown upon her face. "Dear child I have just looked into childbirth in your future. You will not face insufferable pain as most. For you will be destined not to" she looked away sadly. She yet again placed her hand in my head. A second later took it off and smiled. "You may marry someone unaccpected, you know him now even but there is a big difference that ruins your love for one another. It soon will be resolved" as she said these words my heart almost stopped. Was she talking about Luke?

I had little time to ponder because Hera grabbed my hand and led me out back to the rest of them. The next in line was a man who looked old but young at the same time. He had a very long beard, but his hair was brown. "Awe there you are m'lady. I as you might have guessed am Zeus King of the Gods. I also am God of thunder, lightning, rain, and winds" Zeus said placing his hand out to shake my. I grabbed it and he shook he then took me to the same room as Hera did.

"Now m'lady what would you like to know about the future of your town?" He asked once the doors had shut simultaneously. This question was harder to answer than Heras. What did I want to know about my future town? "Um. . . ." Zeus looked at me and smiled. "Dear child I understand the difficulty in my question" he smiled and waited. "Okay um could you tell me about the rain?" I asked deciding my question. "Awe of course" he walked over to the window and looked down almost as if he could see it.
