Everything is Changing

The Nightmare

That night my dream was a nightmare. At first it was a dream. I saw my parents and they were okay. My mom with her red hair and green eyes. My dad with his brown hair and brown eyes. Then the dream shifted to pitch black.
        A man's voice spoke out to me.
"Did you enjoy the eidolons I sent today?"
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am the father of the Titans. Sky god. Gaea's husband." The voice boomed in the void.
       "Ouranos." I said.
       "Yes. Now learn this demigod. You may be the most powerful demigod but even the powerful fall. You will not last long. I will be in every dream you have. Wearing you down to nothing." With that the sound faded out and I woke up.
       It was the middle of the night. My clock read 1:00pm. I didn't notice that I was crying until the tears ran onto my hands. I didn't know why I was crying. Actually I do. I was crying because I feared for my life. I had a very powerful person after me, willing to take my life if necessary.
       Part of me wanted to go back to sleep but the other part knew what would happen. So I went for a walk. I went the back ways to avoid people. When I reached the stables I wondered why my leg had brought me here. I sat down and looked out at the world. I guess the other part of me won because I accidentally fell asleep but nothing happened. I woke up around 6:00am to hear and see a teenage boy. His hair blond and his eyes were golden.
        "Maggie, get up and follow me." He said.
        "Who are you?" I said standing up.
        "We have to tell your friends about your dream." He said.
        "Okay. Hold on. One, I'm mad at them. They treated me like a little kid. And I don't have to talk to them. Two, how do you know about my dream? Three, who are you?" I said sleepily.
        He been walking away from me but now turned around and came back to me.
        "It's me, Apollo." He sighed. "They were trying not to scare you. And keep you safe."
"Fine. I'll talk to them." I said. He grabbed my hand and guide me to the dining hall. When we got there I heard voices. Then we opened the doors and walked in.
Nico's Point of View
"Guys, we should just tell her." I said.
"No! This is for her own good." Percy shouted. When he calmed down he said, "Nico, do you want her to be scared every second of every day? To worry when something bad is going to happen to her? To worry every time someone is just one minute late?" He stared at me.
"No but I want her to be able to trust us. To trust me. What is going to happen if she can't trust her own boyfriend?" I said furiously.
They all looked at me in awe. I was about to go find her and tell her when the doors suddenly opened. Maggie came walking in with another boy holding hands. She dropped his hand immediately.
"Tell them." The boy said.
"Shut up! It was only a dream." Maggie looked and sounded furious.
"No, it wasn't. If that was the case you wouldn't have woken up crying." The boy argued.
       "Fine." She said turning to us. "I had a dream. Ouranos is waking. He said he'll wear me down until I'm nothing. He'll taunt me and haunt my dreams until I either join his side or break down and...", she took a pause with tears in her eyes ready to fall, "and die." The tears were no longer in her eyes. They were spilling over her face now. "Now leave me alone!" She yelled at the boy.
        I ran over to her and grabbed her in a hug. She started sobbing. It hurt me to see her sad with tears running down her face.
       "Who do you think you are?" I asked turning my head towards the boy.
       "I am Apollo." He said.
       "Maggie, that's what the eidolons said. They said Ouranos was coming for you. We didn't want to tell you because we didn't want you to live in fear. We should have told you though." Percy said.
       I held Maggie in my arms until an announcement came over the speaker. She lifted her head up.
