Revenge ( Percy Jackson book)

Screams

Percy:

I wake with a startle with Annabeth laying next to me. " Go back to bed." She says laying a hand on my shoulder.

Just then my door creaks open a bit. I jolt my head over and see nothing. I get up and walk slowly. " Percy get back here." Annabeth says patting the spot where I was laying.

" Wait I wanna see who that was." I step in front of the door and fling it open and see Kronos right in front of me with his special sword. He laughs and then stabs me in my stomach.

" Ahhhhh!" I yell waking up all sweaty. I'm shaking and drenched in sweat. I look at my stomach just making sure it was a dream and there was nothing really wrong. My stomach was fine.It's time to get up I think as I look at my clock. I put on some dark jeans and a plain red shirt and some black Jordan's. I walk out my room and immediately run into Grover who was eating something crunchy and had peanut butter in it. His breath filled the hallway where it smelled like peanut butter.

" Percy are you okay?" He asks taking a bite out of his granola bar, and having crumbs go everywhere. I stayed quiet for a few seconds and then looked down feeling embarrassed that he heard me scream.

" Yea. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked kind of curious.

" Well I heard you scream" he said taking yet another messy bite. I nodded and looked back to my room. I took a breath and tried talking to him but I couldn't move or talk.

" Huuuh" Grover gargles as he dropped his granola bar to the floor and blood oozing out of his mouth. Then I saw it. The blade that was coming out of his stomach and raising him up. I heard a familiar laugh. Luke. Still not able to move I had to watch my best friend being held up by a blade and Luke was laughing about it. I was finally able to move, but at the same time he pulled out the sword that was inside of my friend. He collapsed to the floor and Luke just vanished.

" No... no this can't be right." I said remembering that Luke died from the battle of Olympus. But how can I be still dreaming? Or am I? How can I not know if I'm dreaming or not. God I'm such an IDIOT!! I looked at my a and tried pinching it remembering that usually works in the movies. It didn't work so I looked at my fingers and started counting knowing that if you had ten extra fingers you were dreaming. Then a high pitch scream came ringing through my ears. Annabeth. No not her. My mom. I ran down the hall and smashed the front door open to see me ( or a clone) holding her by her neck and slashing it. I dropped Riptide and ran over to my mother who's eyes were still open.

" NOOOO!!!!" I yelled " WAIT! JUST WAIT!" I screamed again.

" Percy, Percy it's okay." A soothing voice said. I stopped screaming and realized that I was back in my room in my moms arms while Annabeth, Grover and Paul were standing in the doorway staring at me with concern and confusion. I looked at myself hoping this wasn't another dream. I saw sweat dripping down my face. I got up and walked over to my dresser got some clothes and headed to the bathroom without saying a word. Ignoring their questions all the way, I could tell they knew were I was going because only my mom and Paul kept following me until I shut and locked the door behind me.
