ALEX'S POV
I watched as her eyes fluttered close.
"That's all I want too." She whispered. Literally 2 secounds later I heard her breathing softly. Meaning she was asleep. I watched her for a bit.
Shit, im being a stalker.
I force my eyes off of her and look up to the sky. She was smart. Well thats a random thought. But really, she was. I mean the moss bed? I wouldnt have thought of that and i'm a child of freaking Athena. Gods, im swearing too much. Force of habit. I know she hates it when I swear. I look back at Willow. She has always thought she looked bad in her sleep, but really, when her face is so calm like that, I find she doesnt look that ugly. Aha, I phrased that wrong. I laugh at my thoughts and look up at the sky. So she wants to be normal? I mutter as I think back to our latest conversation. Now that I think about it, maybe i could help her be normal. I mean, Annabeth is my sister. I might as well help Will, she's really all I have. Might as well make her happy.
I think back about why we havent had a long talk for a while. Oh yeah, Lela. Look, I had no intentions on kissing that girl, I mean, she was really nice and all but that is it. Nothing more. She is nice. She is always smaking lipstick on or looking at herself in the mirror. She may be pretty and all on the outside but the inside is just plain ugly. I would never even think about being friends with Lela. She is just mean to some people. Not like Willow, Willows nice to everyone, helping them, caring for them. She has always cared so much. I turn my head and see a piece of hair was in her face. Im know its bothering her from how she's crinckling her nose in her sleep. I chuckle at her. I cant move it, it would be really awkward if she woke up and saw me touching her face. Why am I so weird?! I end up moving it quickly then acting like im asleep right away to risk if she wakes up. When I hear her breathing go steady again I relax.
I'm jusy about to go to sleep when I hear a faint chuckle, my eyes flip open and go to the cause. I see Spencer looking at me over the campfire, we are only a couple of feet away, both being able to see eachother clearly.
"You guys are too funny." He says while grinning and shaking his head.
"Sorry?" I question. He laughs at me, and my eyebrows link together.
"Really dude? You guys are so into eachother." he smirks afterwards.
"Me... Willow? No! No way!" I answer after a couple of seconds and hear him laugh.
"Sure," He answers. Im about to defend myself but he lies back down and begins fake snoring, clearly to annoy me. I do not have enough energy to put up a fight. I think he got the message.
I allow my eyes to shut as I slowly drift off to sleep. The thoughts of me and Willow flooding my head.

My eyes snap open. I quickly sit up and see everyone has left. Where'd they go? I get up and turn around to a voice.
"Good morning." I hear a little girl call sweetly. Oh my god. It was Willow. But 10 years ago. This was impossible. I squint my eyes at her.
"W-willow?!" I manage to say. The small girl comes and grabs my hand, leading me down into the woods.
"This is impossible." I say shaking my head as I allow the little girl to lead me along. I must be dreaming. She giggled.
"Nothings impossible, Ale-ie" little Willow tells me, including a nickname she used to call me when I was also a little kid. We arrive at the edge of the forest, a lookout to some Rocky Mountains in the distance. Right away I notice a crumpled thing hanging off the cliff from a cage. The small Willow stops dead in her tracks but I start to commence a jog, expecting the worst of the crumpled figure. I arrive I front of the cage to a thin, bruised and bloody girl. She's in a little ball, her arms cover her face, as if she's trying to hide herself from the world, her arms were covered in scars. Her hair was all stuck together from dried blood, which was also covered her jeans and black t-shirt that I could barely see. She was weeping, loudly. I could recognize this girl from miles away, her bone structure, her hair colour, even the way she breathes. I was too afraid to speak her name. I couldn't speak her name. Probably for the fact that I haven't breathed in the last minute, or I just didn't want to know if I was right. Letting out a small, shaky breath, I whisper the girls name.
"Willow" I whispered.As if I wanted her to stop weeping. The girl tensed immediately, her weeps hushed as if her breath caught in her throat. The damaged girl lifts her head at an agonizingly slow pace.
"Alex." She barely whispered. She flinched in pain, as her voice was made out of glass and cut her down her throat whenever she spoke.
I looked at her and began to pull on the bars with all my strength.
"Lets go. Now." I tell her, forgetting all the possibilities why she would be in the cage, just knowing that she has to be next to me, now. Willow shakes her head desperately.
"Gaea." I freeze at Willows words.
Literally.
I try to move again, but I am frozen like one of medusas masterpieces.
The young Willow shows up beside me, a sickening grin on her face. Older Willow launches herself to the back of the cage, as far from the little girl as she can get, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"NONONO not again please not again!" She screams begging the small child.
"Alex don't you understand?! It's Gaea!" Willow yells in parole.
I struggle to move, literally hurting myself in the process. I try to move my muscles and they feel as if they are on fire, still, I try to fight through it. I meet Willows big innocent eyes. They are read from crying, but still, her orange sparkling orbs show hope. I look into those eyes, and it makes me forget the pain of trying to move, then I try harder. Little Willow puts a finger to her mouth, as if trying to silence my thoughts of helping Willow. The whips her hand up. Willow fly's up and hits the top of the cage, then drops to the ground with a crunching noise of at least 3 ribs breaking. She screamed in an agonizing pain, then wailed, tears filling her eyes once again.
"WILLOW!" I yelled, it felt as if I was being ripped apart, watching her as she slowly died. Her breathing was shallow and loud. She was on the edge of death.
"Why are you doing this?!" I ask Gaea/little Willow.
She answers me in an icy tone.
"It's better this way. If I don't, you will regret me not putting her out of her misery to come, for the rest of your life. Like the curse, the prophecy...." Gaea tells me, no longer sounding like Willow did as a 7 year old, just sounding strong and powerful. I'm confused at her words but I have no time to think about it. Gaea whips her hand up and begins to create a fist with her hand. When I look up to Willow she is in the air, gabbing on to her throat as if she is being suffocated.
"STOP!" I demand Gaea. Hot tears brimming my eyes.
"You'll thank me one day," Gaea repeats then let's out a strong laugh. I suddenly am forced to the ground on my knees, looking up to Willow, as she slowly faded away.
"I'm so sorry." I tell her, crying as I watch my best friend die. Her face has become as pale as a ghost, her lips look as if they barely existed as she struggled for one last breath of life.
"I love you." She whispers just as she finally fades out and disappears. Leaving me alone in this world. I cry in my hands, never planning on stopping. Crying out my last thoughts after her death. I love you too.

My eyes snap open at the sound of a crow making noise above me. I sit up as fast as I can and look around. My eyes fall on Willow, she looked alive, very alive. I touch my cheeks and realize I've been crying. I have to get out of here. I need to think. I immediately get up and look around to my friends, all fast asleep, even maple had began to snore silently. I begin to jog in the direction of the sound of running water. Leaving everything I need behind me, including Willow.
