Percy's pov
I look down at my sister's sleeping face. How did she get pulled into this as well? Why does she deserve such a fate? I sigh and move her bangs out of here eyes.
I don't know how long we've been here, all I know is that I have slept three times.
Alex shifts, buring her face in my chest. She moves her face again. And again. Then she starts murmuring. "-no... no, leave... him alone..."
Nightmare. I try to wake her up, but she just panics more. All I can do is let her sleep.
Leo's pov
I have a bad feeling about this.
We are sitting on the bus, talking aimlessly. I glance out the window and see somethi- no, two somethings running at the bus. My eyes widen.
Giants.
Then I see a third, defenetly not friendly figure clothed in darkness. The air seems to be covered in a thick blanket of depression and darkness.
My eyes widen further. My good old friend Clytius. Man, did I not miss him.
"Uh, guys, we have company..."
I hear Annabeth curse in Greek.
The giants attack. Of course, Clytius goes for me. How the Hades am I suppose to fight a giant that takes away my power!?
Clytius smiles, well, I can't really tell, but I would think he would. I remember Gaia's words from what seems like years ago. He is the void that consumes all magic, the cold that consumes all fire, the silence that consume all speech.
Yep, it's my old friend Darkness. Defiantly missed him. Please note the sarcasm dripping from my voice.
Alex's dream
The giant made of darkness bore down on Leo. My eyes widen as I watch Leo throw a ball of fire at the dude, but the orange ball gets swallowed by Clytius. How did I know his name?
Leo throws ball after ball backing into a wall as Clytius walks forward menacingly. Some how I know I can help him. I rush forward and throw my own ball of fire at the dark giant. It doesn't get consumed, well, I didn't think it would given it's equeal to Hecate's flame.
"Alex!?" Leo asks looking sstraight at me.
I smile, but feel my energy drain as I stastain my position. I look over to see Clytius burn. I throw another ball and Leo supplies his own. The giant burns, disappearing.
I look back to Leo who is walking toward me. "Leo, I helped you but at a price."
"What price!?" Leo sounds worried as his eyes widen.
"This is taking a toll on the energy I have left. I don't have as long as Percy now. The Chaos metal is too much." I feel myself flickering.
"Please don't leave." He begs. I give him a sad smile as I flicker again.
"Leo... I lov-"
I sit up bolt right, panting. I slump against Percy, feeling more tired than when I feel asleep.
"Are you okay?"
I look up to see Percy's worried face. I give him a small smile. "Just peachy. Why don't you sleep?"
"Not tired, now, what did you dream about?"
Dam it. "Uh... not exactly a dream..."
"Then what was it?"
Double dam it. "Uh, I maybe, somewhat, kinda left my body..."
"And?" Percy knows I do stuff like this. What? Why are you looking at me like that? I can't control it, so sorry. (Sorry, had to do tha... :-))
"Um, I helped Leo a bit..."
"How? And why?"
"Clytius would have killed him. I helped Leo defeat him, thats all..."
"And used more than nessisary of your energy." He says, giving me that look that I just hate.
"What would you have done if it was Annabeth?" I ask.
"Probably the same thing... but still, you can't use all of your energy! It'll kill you!" He says.
I sigh, giving a look that said end of descussion now sleep.
He complies, laying his head ontop of mine. I sigh.
I didn't get a chance to tell him that I love him... I don't know if I'll get another chance...
