Nico di Angelo, Flowers of Death

Chapter 30

Ambers POV

I awoke with a start, my eyes scanned the room I was in. The infirmary. I look to my left to find Leo, he was sleeping heavily, or at least I hoped he was sleeping.

I looked around the rest of the room. Their where multiple people in here, more then I'd ever seen before. Most didn't look injured though, no bruises visible or cuts.

Slowly I pulled the covers off me, sliding my legs over the side of the bed. My bare feet touched the cold floor, I tried to walk but my legs felt weak, my mind became foggy.

I ignored the feeling though, and made my way to the door in a hurried fashion, exiting the building. I looked around in hopes to find someone, anyone but with no luck.

It was pitch black out, the Stars being the only light, it seemed to be 3 in the morning. Leaving only 3 hours until sun rise.

I raced in my mind trying to find the best person to tell. The only name that truly stood out was Anabeth. As I regained feeling in my legs I sprinted in the direction of the Athena cabin.

My mind was hoping over all the events of my dream, could this truly be real, or was it another nightmare. What if it truly was just a dream, and I made a fool over myself because of it.

I abruptly stopped.

This had to be a dream, this had to have. But it felt so real. All of it.

"Amber? What are you doing" I jump at the voice, whipping around to come face to face with Anabeth.

"I- I uh" I stutter. "I just, never mind" turning to walk away I force the knot in my throat away.

"No no tell me" she begs. Reaching out she grips my hand, wincing in pain I tug my arm out of her grasp. I look to see that a small wood sliver lay inside my finger tips. I hesitantly turn to look at her, taking a deep breath.

"I had a dream" I state.

"What was it about" she curiously asks.

"I was in a dark room, I suppose. I over heard a conversation about an attack, here, on us. At dawn the camp will be under siege"

"Amber we all have dreams I'm sure-"

"No! Look" I hold my hand up to show her the sliver. "I got this, during my dream. But it's here now, I've heard of Percy experiencing similar things, and his dreams always came true. Our camp will be attacked, and soon, we have to do something."
