I yawned, propping myself up on one arm. I heard a dull clunk and looked down. My book had just fallen to the ground. I must have fallen asleep while I was reading it. Wait a second... Just then I remembered everything. Flying with Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Rachel and Amber. All the questions I asked. The flood of memories. Then I realized that I was laying on something. I groped around and found it. It was a golden dagger. It had beautiful Sun designs engraved on the hilt. Then I glanced at the coat hook on my door. I almost screamed. There, hanging innocently, were a bow and quiver. "No way.", I muttered. I jumped out of bed and grabbed my phone, dialing Amber's number. I waited a few moments and then she answered:"Whoa, hey Fern, that's weird, I was just dialing your number." "Yeah",I answered,"not as weird as what I'm about to tell you."
"Oh really!",she said,"you don't have a freaking sword hanging on your door after the most realistic dream ever!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down! I happen to have been sleeping on a dagger and there was a bow and quiver on my door when I woke up! And that dream, did it have to do with the battle of the labyrinth? Flying with Percy, Annabeth, Nico and Rachel? A flood of memories? Me asking tons of questions!?", I was ranting now. "How-how do you know about my dream?", she asked, astounded. "Your dream? Your dream?! I had-", I stopped abruptly,"wait, you're saying that you had that dream too?" "Yeah.",Amber replied nervously,"so do you think that it actually happened?" "Come over as fast as you can! We're going to figure this out!", I said quickly and hung up. Five minutes later,  the doorbell rang. I raced downstairs and ripped open the door. Amber hurried inside, clutching a long something in a bag. We ran upstairs and locked the door of my room behind us. "Ok.", I said," I'm going to try to call Lyrics." "Your dog, from the dream?", Amber asked. "Yep. Here goes. Lyrics?", I asked quietly. There was a sharp pop and a massive black and Brown Rottweiler appeared in front of us. Amber and I both screamed. "Come on!", said a voice, sounding like it was coming from the dog,"Fern, you should be used to me appearing like this. Plus, YOU called me." "This is not happening!",I squeaked. "Alright.",said Amber, quickly recovering from the shock,"now for powers." She waved her hand in a dramatic way and a fat, purple Amethyst popped out of my bedroom floor, leaving a hole in my yellow rug. "Hey!", I protested,"that's my favorite rug. My best friend just stared at the jewel in stunned silence. This really was too good to be true. But now that I thought about it, my mom is single and never talked about my dad. Same with Amber. Also we both had ADHD so that's weird too. Just then the doorbell rang for the second time this morning. Amber and I walked down the stairs, I brought my dagger, just in case. I cautiously opened the door. Standing outside was Annabeth. "This is actually real", said Amber incredulously. "Pack your stuff! Come on guys. We need to get to camp! Now!", said Annabeth urgently. "We-we'll be right there!", I said. "C'mon Amber! Upstairs!" We rushed upstairs, ditching Annabeth outside at the door. When I opened the door to my bedroom, my mouth fell open in shock. There was a woman sitting on my bed, waiting for us, Lyrics was fine though. I don't know why I wasn't scared. The lady had dark hair and stern grey eyes. She was tall and had perfect posture. "Lady Athena!", I exclaimed, walking slowly into the room. "Sit.", she said, patting my bed, so me and Amber sat.
This was our short conversation:
Athena:Girls, I know you thought that you had a dream last night, but it wasn't a dream. It was real.
Me:But how come we don't really feel like we were there, even though we remember?
Athena:Well, there was a powerful goddess, *cough* Hera *cough* who stole your memories because she thought you were too powerful. She thrust you two back into your old homes and made your mothers forget, as well. She could not, however, wipe the minds of the campers. They remembered you, but since you were here for two years she had to do something. She cast a sort of spell that made them think that you were only gone for one winter. They have been seeing you in dreams for the past two years but you could not remember them, courtesy of that goddess. The dream you both had last night, was the first you seem able to remember, because the spell is finally wearing off. She has allowed me to come and remove the rest of this spell from your minds today.

After that Athena placed one hand on each of our heads and muttered something in Greek that was too quiet to hear. All of a sudden my mind was clear. I remembered my whole life like I had actually lived it! I thanked the goddess who nodded and disappeared. I packed my stuff and walked back downstairs with amber. Annabeth was still waiting outside. We climbed into Sally Jackson's truck to find Percy in the seat next to her. I hugged him fiercely and got in the truck with Amber and annabeth. We drove to ambers house who packed her stuff and we drove off to canp. That's how my renewed life of being a demigod started.

I hope you liked that. If anybody even sees this!
