Nightly Flight -Fem Percy-

Ch.5

Italics- Dreams

"RUN!" That was all I heard before seeing Andrew stay behind and fight.

He is dead.

And it's my own fault.

How could I have been so incompetent and foolish to let him stay behind by himself.

I should have stayed instead of him.

Yes I was hurt, but at least I could of bought him some time.

I could have saved him.

I could have.

But I didn't.

Andrew would be mad at me if he knew I blamed myself.

I just couldn't get over him.

He is better than I ever could have been and than I will be.

My dream changed.

I was suddenly in the battle of Gaea.

I was tromping through the field of corpses, each one littering the ground with blood.

I saw Piper cradling Jason in her arms with her last dying breath pulling him closer.

I saw Hazel, her own self reaching for Franks's fire wood which was on fire but being crushed by a giant instead.

Frank was close by, but he was gone.

Leo was just on the ground looking almost asleep, I bent down to him I know he isn't dead. He still had a faint pulse.

I dragged him to a tree for protection and shade.

I closed my eyes while walking.

I didn't want to see anyone else.

I kept waking until I ran into a barrier.

I opened my eyes but nothing was there I just couldn't get past the air it seemed.

I turned around and there were my friends standing there alive.

I ran up to Piper and tried to give her a quick hug so I could move on to the next friend.

But she pushed me to the ground.

My friends circles around me.

They were saying it was my fault they were dead.

The bad thing is, is that I believe them.
