Natasha POV

Jack and I were at the winter kingdom having breakfast with lady Alaska alone. We were conversing, happily enjoying the food. I watched as Jack drank his glass of ambrosia and suddenly he began coughing. "Jack you okay?" I asked and he nodded, I went back to eating.

From the corner of my eye I saw Jack staring at his hands and I looked at him. Black lines began appeared and we both stared bewildered as they spread. I looked closely and saw it was his ichor, it was blackening. "J-Jack... What's happening?" I asked quite shaken, Jack was quite shaken to answer too. "Aah..." Jack winced as the black spread, he was in pain. It spread up to his his shoulder and I ripped his T-shirt apart to watch the flow. There was more black line coming from his stomach and they were all headed for his heart.

I tried using my powers to stop it from reaching there but it was futile. "Lady Alaska!" I looked to her for help and she had an evil grin, she was pleased at what she was seeing. My eyes widened as I realised this was her doing. I looked back to Jack and saw the darkness had reached his heart. The light in his eyes slowly faded, "Jack!" I yelled as tears started flowing.

"I will never accept you... Never!" Lady Alaska yelled and I shook him trying to get him to get up. His life source was gone.

"Jack!" I yelled as I jerked sitting up. Oh my gosh it was a dream... But it felt so real... To real to be fake. I jumped out of bed and ran out of my room searching for Jack. I bumped into mother, "Natasha, you okay. You panting heavily?" Mother asked as she placed her hand on my shoulder, "Mother where's Jack?" I asked worried, "He's at the North... Why are you asking?" She asked, "How long has he been gone?" I asked still panting.

"Minutes ago..." Mother looked at me warily, she was trying to configure out why I was behaving this way. "What time is it now?" I asked, "Past eight... Natasha would you tell me what's going on!" Mother shook my shoulders and I gently brushed them off. "I'm going out." I stated walking away from her. "Well at least change! You still in your nightgown! It wouldn't look good to go to Percy's house wearing such a silky gown in front of his parents!" Mother yelled but I did not stop.

"Good morning mother!" I greeted because I had forgotten with all the commotion. "What about breakfast!" By then I was almost the entrance. "Morning everybody!" I greeted and as soon as I reach the entrance I teleported to the winter kingdom, at the entrance of the eating area. I looked around and everything looked exactly like it was in my dream, the seats, the cutlery, the clothes Jack was wearing, lady Alaska... Just everything. The only difference was that in my place, Lord Winter was sitting.

Jack's cup which contained ambrosia was exactly the same. Jack was smiling kindly and was about to drink the ambrosia cup, I teleported to his side, "Jack, no!" I exclaimed taking the cup away from him.

Everybody in the room looked at me bewildered, "Please tell me I'm hallucinating and that I'm not seeing you in your nightgown right now." Jack said smiling with gritted teeth. "Princess Natasha!" Lady Alaska exclaimed getting up from her seat. "I'm really here Jack. Please don't drink this." I begged. "What are doing here? Looking like this!" Jack exclaimed.

"That doesn't matter, you shouldn't drink this." I stated putting the drink down. "Why?!" He asked hysterically, "B-because it's p-poisoned..." I looked into his eyes and he looked at me clearly not pleased. "Again with your paranoia Natasha!" He yelled making me jump, "Jack please believe me." I begged as tears fell from my eyes.

"No..." Jack closed his eyes, "Don't use your tears." They shot open, glaring at me. "Nobody is trying to hurt me, just stop with this! Enough Natasha!" He growled, "Jack please..." I begged, "I don't want to hear anything!" He snapped. "I'll prove it!" I said and took the cup and gulped it down.
