NICO
I find Rachel where Percy said I would. Painting by the edge of the forest.
'Rachel.' I say, preparing myself for her usual, bright self.
'Nico! To what do I owe the pleasure?' She asks, 'I've been on a people cleanse, but I'd be happy to make an exception for you.'
'A people cleanse?' I ask.
'I'm avoiding everyone. I think you'd enjoy it.' She says, 'but I'm assuming you came for a different reason?'
'Yeah.' I say, unsure how to start, 'um. I...I've been having dreams.'
'I hear that's pretty usual for you demigods.' She says, continuing to paint.
'Yes. Usually, yes.' I continue, 'but...I...is there a way I can tell if they're...if they're telling the future?' She stops painting.
'Telling the future's meant to be my gig, Nico. What's going on with you?' She asks.
'Just...it seems so real. I'm scared it's real.' I explain, 'but...I just need you to tell me that's not possible. Right?'
'Right. I mean, it doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of. It can't be real.' She says, but she sounds hesitant, 'what are you dreaming?'
'Nothing. It doesn't matter.' I say, quickly, 'I just...just needed to double check. Thanks.'
'Nico!' She calls after me, but I keep walking away and she doesn't call again. That's it. I'm putting the dreams away, they're not real.
