"After all these years? Always"
POV: Minerva Redfield
I opened my eyes but I could not see anything in sight, not even my own hands. I was in a very dark and lonely place, it seemed to be completely desolate as if no one had ever been there before. I wanted to say something, however I couldn't, the words wouldn't come out of my lips. Even knowing that, I wasn't scared, something in the space gave me peace of mind that there was nothing to run from, or to be afraid of.
I started walking around the site trying to explore it. Unfortunately, I stumbled upon a hole in the floor which was invisible in plain sight. When I fell I woke up in my cabin disoriented. Disillusioned I got out of bed and analyzed the dark room for a couple of seconds, turned my gaze to the window and saw the sun high in the sky.
I figured it was time for breakfast so I left my cabin and walked around the yard, which was all alone. —Where is everyone? —I thought to myself. It didn't take me long to realize that I was in a dream. I've always had that ability, I could wake up now but I don't want to. All my dreams have a hidden message, usually sent by Selene. I wonder what she wants to tell me with this one.
I went to the dining area, all the campers were there, I felt watched. I am not a person who gets uncomfortable easily but having everyone's disturbing gaze on me is a whole different level. In the distance on the lake I could see a shadow, he was there watching. Slowly Skia approached the tables, for a moment I thought he was coming towards me but instead he went towards another camper. It was Annabeth, the shadow stood in front of her, the girl didn't flinch. I was startled when I saw how Skia put her hand on Annabeth's chest, right on her heart, he seemed to be sucking the life out of her.
My friend's skin was getting paler and her eyes were losing color. I couldn't move, why is no one doing anything? Could it be that Athena's daughter would be in danger and I couldn't help it like now? I refuse to have that destiny. —Let her go, now! —I shouted, letting my voice echo through the trees. Skia let go of Annabeth and turned to me. All the children got up from their seats ready to attack me. They looked dead inside, there was no sparkle in their eyes and they were like an empty shell.
