Breaking Point

hidden

Okay guys, so this chapter is going to be based this way. Rachel can remember dreams only if it is something related to prophecies and quests. She can still dream about other things, but can only remember them vaguely. I'm not sure if that is how it works, but for the sake of the plot, let's have it this way. Thank you!!!

"Okay, Percy. Now draw your knees up to your chest, will you?" Will's faint voice was heard, as he gathered some things.

Percy was on a bed, wearing what seemed to be like a hospital gown.

Percy flinched as Will cleaned up the expanse at the back of his hip.

"Shit. That's a big needle you got there, Will." He breathed.

"Sorry, Percy." Will told, as he positioned the syringe.

Rachel sat up with a start, breathing heavily. What was that? She couldn't quite remember what she had seen, but she had known it was horrible. She sat on her bed, trying to remember what she had seen.

Slowly things started to come to her mind. It was something about Percy. Something had happened to Percy. She stood up in a hurry, and rushed over to her mobile. She quickly called the camp's number.

"Delphi Strawberry Service. I'm sorry, but we won't be able to supply anything to-" the voice she knew all too well started.

"Piper! It's me, Rachel. Whe- where's Percy?"

"Oh, Rachel! Nice to speak to you too!" She said sarcastically.

"Piper." Rachel warned. "Where's Percy?" She asked again.

"Percy? He's not in camp. He's, um, gone somewhere with Jase and Will. Boy's vacation out. They would probably be back by today. Why?" She asked curiously.

"No reason." She mumbled. There were yells and loud cheers audible from the other end. "What's all that noise?" She asked curiously.

"Oh, you wouldn't believe what just happened!" Piper squealed, her voice high pitched.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Leo's alive! He's back!"

"What? Oh. Oh." Now that she thought about it, she had definitely had a dream of Festus flying over blue oceans.....

"-abeth Dare! Are you there?" Piper's voice was heard.

"Yeah, yeah I am. What do you mean, Leo is back?" Rachel asked, holding her phone close to her ear.

"I don't know what is going on, but he's back! With another girl!" Piper squealed. "He didn't give us an explanation yet, as the campers are very busy punching him."

"Punching him?!" Rachel cried out.

"Relax, we're taking turns." Piper laughed.

"You guys are such cavemen." Rachel sighed. "Alright, I'm coming over." She said, but was interrupted by Piper.

"Oh, oh! Looks like Percy is back!" She said, looking out of the window. "Do you want me to call him here?" She asked.

Rachel snorted. "And do what? Make more monsters attracted to the camp? No, thank you. I'm coming over anyways."

"Cool! Come fast! You might miss your turn to punch Leo." She suddenly winced. "Man, looks like Percy has a terrible limp. Why am I not surprised?" She mumbled, and Rachel decided not to let that irrational fear rule over her again as she heard those words.

"Okay, bye." She said, and cut the call, and let out a sigh.

Why was she feeling so uneasy?
