*ALEXS POV*

I watched willows brown hair fly behind her as she ran away from me, wait, why was she running?

"Willy wait!" I called after her, but I was too slow, she disappeared into her cabin before I could say anything else. Why would she run away from me? This made no sense. Before I could think of it anymore, Zander appeared from the shadows.

"Hm," he said looking into the Demeter cabins direction.

"That was interesting.." He told me, his voice was slightly more raspy then usual, which made him sound extremely tiered.

"Why'd she run away?" I ask him and he shrugs.

"Willows different, she isn't really quite straight forward with everything." He tells me.

"Oh, how much I know that." I answer him, ending our conversation on that subject.

"I want to go with you guys, Alex. Someone needs to protect raven, other then the water boy." I nodded.

"I'll protect her, Zander." I answered him while heading back to my cabin.

"I need you to call me everyday and tell me she's okay, alright Alex?" He asked me. I nodded my head at him then saw him disappear back into the shadows. My mind still dazed about what happened with Willow, I walk back into my cabin. I didn't understand her, she was so... Confusing. Why didn't she say something like "good bye"? Before she ran away from me. Why would she just leave? My head was spinning as I thought it through. As I began to approach my cabin I hear a voice call out behind me.

"Alex?" Calls a voice. I immediately hope it's willow and turn around, expecting an answer from why she ran away. I stop in my tracks when I see James, child of Nike standing there. I didn't like that guy, there was something about him.. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"Hello, James, what brings you here?" I ask him, my voice tense while taking a step towards him.

"We need to talk." He tells me.

"About what?" I ask furrowing my eyebrows, this was odd, James did not usually speak to me or even acknowledge me at all.

"Willow." He answers. I tense. I really didn't feel the need to talk about her right now, I was tiered and the thought of her running away from me after my kiss with Leila made my head hurt.

"I'm tiered, can't this wait?" I ask him sighing loudly.

"No, it can't. I think you are... Distracting her, I guess you could say." James tells me approaching me in an annoyed tone. I tilt my head in confusing.

"How so?" I ask, confused.

"Look, alex" James beings in an annoyed tone.

"You and me, we are the same, just two guys, living every day life. And i respect you. But you see, the thing is, Willow clearly seems to have an interest in what happens to you, and well, that doesn't really go well with me, so I'm gonna have to do something about it." He says approaching me more aggressively.

"Are-, are you threatening me?" I asked him, shocked.

"A little," he continues, smirking "Alex, I just want you to know, that I know powerful people, so what I am trying to say is, back off of Willow. Cause what you think might happen between you and her, won't as long as I live." He says in a frightening, , determined tone.

"Umm, I don't quite know how to answer that..." I say confused. What did he think? That I liked willow? Well that's ridiculous, she is one of my best friends, nothing more.

"Good, then don't. Just think about this before you go on your little quest and get all close to Willow. When you think you have her, then have fun with that, because may I remind you I am a child of Nike, and we always, always, win." He says backing away from me, into the darkness.

"Goodnight alex." He says his voice fading as he disappears into the night.

I stood there shocked. I even became a little dizzy. What was happening? This camp has gone insane, first willow acting all weird, now people are threatening me, what's next? I get the urge to bang my head against a wall, I was just too tiered to think this all through. I walked up the stairs of my cabin and opened it to a room full of my siblings, all ten of them were in bed and clearly underneath the covers reading books with flashlights. Too tiered to read or search up anything, I quickly changed and drifted off to a dreamless sleep.



*Willows dream*

"ALEX!" I scream out in fear. I was tied onto a pole hanging off of a rocky cliff, looking down to see a thin line that seemed to be a stream a the bottom of the cliff that seemed to go up extremely high, but I was still unsure of what it was from this high up.

"ALEX!" I yelled again, I had no idea why I was calling his name, but I was in pure fear as I felt the ropes that tied me to the pole begin to slip.

"WILLOW" I heard him answer, his voice out of breath and extremely worried. I heard footsteps approach on the rocky ground.

"Oh my god alex thank god!' I plea at him.

"Get me out of these ropes!" I say my voice cracking and tears brimming my eyes. I hear him grunt and twist the pole so I was facing the sky. I gasp and try to find words to say.

"What do you think you are doing?!" I yell at him hysterically as he pulls me, still attached to the pole, back onto the safety of the cliff. My tears blur my vision and I quickly blink to get them out of my eyes.

"I'm so glad I found you." He tells me sincerely and I close my eyes and sigh.

"Me too." I give him a small smile.

"Now get me out of these ropes." I ask him as I strangle to get out of the ropes that tie me to the pole I dangle from.

"No, I don't think so." He says and a sky smirk grows on his face.

"What? Stop being ridiculous and help me out!" I tell him as determined I can, but my voice staggers on my last word, scared at how his smirk beings to look so menacingly sickening. He reaches for something behind his back and pulls out a sword.

"Ugh.. Alex what in Tartarus are you doing?!" I yell at him, still crying and struggling to get out. He laughs at me as I struggle and bends down next to me.

"So weak. You've always been the weakest, the weak link, the one no one that could easily snap." Alex told me, as he bent over me and smiled wickedly.

"Alex Smith you get me out of here right now!" I cry at him. He laughs and clicks his tongue, shaking his head. He lifts the sword up and I begin to wail. He laughs even harder and puts his sword on the ground.

"How low can you get, willow? He purrs in my ear. I cry louder and he seems to get annoyed.

"Oh shut up!" He tells me.

"You are worthless" he says as his voice seems like a hiss of a snake.

"So worthless." He tells me and slowly pushes the pole back to hanging off of the cliff.

"Goodbye, idiot." He tells me as I scramble and suddenly, I am pushed, I feel myself free fall of the cliff, and just before i crash down to the ground in tears,

I wake up.
