My dream started out like this.

I was in pitch dark. There was no walls , no doors; like the whole world disappered and the only thing left was me.

Except for the screaming and banging coming from all sides of me.

I can feel the presence of evil and destruction lurking around. I started to run, but there was no where to go.

"Don't worry child, I'm not here to hurt you," she said

Somehow, I knew that she was being honest; she won't hurt me. She'll do much worse.

"You know how, I know you do. Just let me in, and I'll help."

I was terrified. I could feel her getting closer, usually she's not able too. Why can she now? I heard her wail in agony. More screaming.

She was very close now. I still couldn't see her, or anything at all, but my skin was still crawling.

"LISTEN TO ME! YOU LOVE ME!" she cried, her voice cracking "LOVE ME!"

I woke up in cold sweat. I sighed and rubbed my temples. Most demigods have nightmares frequently, but they change. I have this dream every night for as long as I can remember. But usually there's a force that's blocking her from getting closer. Today it was like she was right in front of me.

Well, at least I changed it up a bit. Keeping them guessing, right?

I rolled over to one side and checked the time.

4:00 A.M.

I didn't go to bed till 2 A.M., so two hours of sleep? I shrug to myself. That's pretty good. Usually I don't sleep at all.

I force myself out of my shredded bed (um... Long story. Most beds aren't like that, don't worry), and grab my black sweatshirt. As I step outside a gust of strong wind hit my face. Shivering, I continue to walk, twisting my ring around my finger. It was rustic silver with dark black engravings. When I take it off, it's about twice as big as my finger, but when it's on me, it fits perfectly. It's strange how it's like that, and I still wonder why it's like that, but I'm used to it by now.

I'm used to most things by now.

I see a dark figure heading into the forest. Completely in need to do something to take my mind off everything right now, I decided to follow it.
