My nightmare started off like this.

I standing in the distance. It was the middle of the night. And a storm was blowing. It was devastating cold and there was whipping winds and rain was pouring down and there were multiple claps of thunder.

I had to be in some sort of forest. It was a dark forest and nobody was there or so I thought. I then became aware that I was in a forest and I then heard some groaning and a voice keep saying "I can do this."

Once I could heard the voice, I wanted to summon my spear but I couldn't. 

Typical in my dreams. 

I then heard groaning and I rushed to follow the voice, I mean what else was I suppose to do ? Just stand there?

Even if I wanted too, I knew my ADHD wouldn't let me.

Once I got into a certain part of the forest I turned and noticed Priscilla, she was the person I heard sounding like she was groaning, and she looked like she was dying.

Priscilla is my best friend. She's a demigod just like me. Half God, Half Mortal. 

She is also a Daughter of Poseidon who was the greek god of the sea.

 I'd knew Priscilla since 5 months ago when me and her went to the same high school Yancy. At first our relationship wasn't the best but as time went on she became my best friend.

 Since then we've gone on adventures along with the rest of my close friends to save the world. Heck I felt like a superhero in a way. But I haven't seen her since the day she dropped me off at my house and drove away, that was months ago.

Of course we would video call, but really I missed her more than ever.

Anyway, Priscilla was groaning on her knees. I also forgot to mention she looked like she just be beaten up. She was wearing a Camp Half Blood t shirt that was torn with monsters claws and stained with blood the same went with her jeans pants and shoes. Her jet black hair was frizzy and tangled and look like it was started to fade into a streak of gray. She was also holding the sky. Yeah probably should had said that first.

I had no idea what was even happen. So munch was happen all at once. I just stared at her.

 Let guess this straight half blood dreams suck !

"Priscilla !" I screamed as Priscilla rose her head at me but the only thing was her sea green eyes were a pure white, as if she was blind...

"Zoe ?! Zoe where are you !" she wailed as I shouted "Priscilla, I'm here !" as I walked closer to her, then I noticed it was one of those dreams.

 Either they could hear you but they couldn't see you, or just because P was blind.

"Crap." I said to myself as I said "Priscilla what's going on ?!"

She groaned and fixed her stands as she said "Zoe. Remember this and listen careful !"

"Priscilla ! Don't !" as she said "The Titan's Curse..."

Then lighting flashed as a tree fell down blocking me from Priscilla as I shouted her name, but she didn't say anything back.

"P !" I screeched which is when the ground under me crumbled and I feel into a void of darkness....

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

I jolted awake, shivering in my bed.

I was shocked I didn't scream. That's how scary my dream was.

There was no storm. No Priscilla. And from what I knew no Titan's Curse.

The Morning light shined through my bedroom window bay, I then groaned.

I then thought I saw a shadow flicker from my window almost human shaped. 

My eyes went wide which is when I heard my mom say from downstairs "Zoe ! you're going to be late !" and with that the shadow disappeared.

The dream couldn't be real could it ? I mean it must have been something of my imagination ? Priscilla was she in danger ?!

I then heard my phone got off as I turned to my side as I grabbed it seeing it was a text from Priscilla. That caused me to sigh out of relief.

I knew this was just a nightmare. I smiled and glanced over her text.

~Them Texting~

My Best Friend For Life : Good Morning ☀️

Me : Morning ☀️

My Best Friend For Life: You ready for our test today ?

Me: Not really

My Best Friend For Life : I know you're not Thunderhead do you want me to pick you up ?

Me : Yes Please

My Best Friend : I'll be on my way in five minutes 👍

~Texting Over~

I smiled thank gods Priscilla had a car and she would drive me.

 She got her driver license months ago and she was so munch better at driving then I was. Even if I didn't like to admit it all the time.

I then thought back to the shadow at my window and how It looked like a human like figure

"Come on dear !" my mom exclaimed from downstairs, "It's time for you're exam !"

I groaned and forced myself out of bed.

It had been months since I followed Hades's Trail and it really opened my eyes to how good it is to have friends by you're side, speaking about my friends I missed them greatly.

I made my way to the bathroom to take a long hot shower. It felt nice having the bubbles rub my stress away.

I then looked to see my eagle mark. My side quest. It's been draining me all this summer. I didn't even have time for breaks at all. Having to be the gods punching bag let's just say it can get hard.

I dried myself off and dried my hair off. I had changed over two months. I was till sixteen since my birthday was months away. 

My voice had grow a little bit deeper but I hadn't grown any taller. 

My golden blonde hair had gone back to it's jet black only I now had blue ombre tips which I wore curl for today.

I didn't know which one I like better. Blonde hair or Jet black ? Heck, I changed my hair all the time depending on my mood or just how I was feeling.

I brushed my hair out as I picked up my lightning bolt necklace giving to me by my father Zeus, god of lightning.

I sighed as I put it on my neck and fixed my earrings as I changed into my new outfits.

I put on a black shirt, vans and black ripped pants as I grabbed my bag.

I walked downstairs to see my mother washing dishes as I also saw a bowl of Lucky Charms on the table.

"Good morning baby." she told me as I smiled and said "Good morning mom." I said sitting down as I put my bag down next to me as she passed me the bowl of cereal.

"So, are you ready for you're test ?" she asked me as I sighed and said "I don't know, I don't know if I'm going to be able to do some of the math on there." as I put some cereal in my mouth.

Today was the day that most juniors dreaded, and I mean to say ALL JUNIORS DREAD, aka the S.A.T test.

What is the SAT test? For those of you readers who still in 3-6 grade, the S.A.T. is basically a multiple-choice, pencil-and-paper test created and administered by the College Board, now how a test is suppose to tell how ready I am for college? Idk, but apparently they know.

Giving the fact that by the miracle of Zeus's himself both me and Priscilla made it through sopherme year.

You would think that due to all the quest both me and Priscilla went on, we would have barely any sitting areas to even qualifty to make it to the next grade, and you would be right.

In totally it is said, that the the amount of school days a student can miss to get held back is around 18 during a school year, and suprise suprise both me and Priscilla had missed in total from what our guidance counselor told us was thirty four. 

Yeah if you think it sounds impossible, it's not, our moms took it as well as you expected. 

Alot of screaming...

and yelling....

With the school district to let us slid, and maybe some threathens from my mom giving her bussinesswoman stance.

They were able to come with a agreement if me and Priscilla attend summer school over the whole summer break.

And it was as you think, torture having the spend the majority of my summer stuck in a small buliding with teachers who only had 3 things on their mind. Work. Work, and oh yeah more work.

But in the end it did pay off, because now me and Priscilla were juniors and ready for the test, well as ready as I hoped. 

"Zoe. Your going to do amazing. I know that you are very smart," my mom told told me as I blew my cheeks out and said "Not as smart as Priscilla."

"Priscilla's a  straight A student. She never get's bad grades."

"Have you asked Priscilla to tutor you ?"

"Yeah. She's been quizzing me all this summer. I still feel dumb though." as I lowered my head and played in my cereal.

"You're going to do great." she told me kissing my forehead as I smiled as I looked at my phone seeing the time was 11:57.

I cursed loud which shocked my mom as I turned to her and laughed quietly and said "I-I mean carp." as she rose a brow and said "That's what I thought you said" as I said "Sorry mom." as I rushed to grab my bag along with my keys.

"I'm going to be so late !" I said as I inhaled the rest of my cereal, drinking my milk aswell before also wiping away my milk mustache 

My mother asked me while I rushed to sling my bag over my shoulders "Do you need me to drive you ?" as I shook my head and said "Priscilla, going to. She's probably gone now, so I'll just catch the sub." as I walked back towards her and gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"Do you have money?" as I held out my 5 dollars, which would be enough to get me from the testing location and back.

 I said "Bye Mom, love you have a good day at work." as I saw a quick glimpse of my mother smile before I rushed down the stairs closing the door behind me.

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

Jeez walking takes a long time.

It would have been so munch better if I asked my mom for a ride, but I didn't want to bother her.

She was already going through a lot. 

Ever since I came back home things have been rough. Some days I would find my mother so tried she couldn't even get herself to bed or even cook. Not to mention my mom was trying to hide it from me, but I overheard her phone call with our landlord saying he was going to evict us.

I had no idea my mother was having some munch trouble with rent. Why didn't she tell me ? '

I would have help out the best I could at least. I could work some shift with Priscilla at her mom's cafe I would make 22.08 a hour.

 I mean that could have done something right ? It could have helped.

Not only that but more monsters have been coming than usual. 

Usual I would see only two a day, but now I was seeing more than five, one of them being Harpies who chased me out of the grocery store last Sunday or Furies who almost killed me on my way to the Park on Friday 2 weeks ago.

And thank the gods for the mist that hid mortals visions of the creatures. 

I was worried something must have been wrong with Camp.

 I was going to go back after school was over with tiday but Chiron assured me that everything was fine so I took his word for it, plus my mom wanted me to take my time to study, basically not go full demigod panic mode.

But that didn't take away any of my stress. I was still worried. I stopped thinking about my problems when I noticed a car following me.

I turned around only to see the vehicle following me driving slowly. Weird ? I said to myself as I brushed it off and carried my books in my hand.

I then looked alittle more closer noticing the car was a sliver one. It was also very similar looking to a car I'd seen before.

 I turned back around and hesitantly my hands went to the pocketknife I keep lying around. I snapped the pocketknife out once I realized the car was right next to me.

I then noticed not a monsters or a stranger that was following me but it just my best friend Priscilla sitting in the car with her white oval sunglasses on sipping on a Salted Carmel Cream Cold Brew from Starbucks.

I sighed and grew a angry face. She knew how nervous I'd been about the monsters chasing me and yet she still wanted to chase me. Priscilla and her jokes.

I had to say it was only two months and Priscilla already looked way older than seventeen. 

When I was back at Camp Half-Blood and when me and my friends came back from following Hades's Trail we celebrate her seventeen birthday. We had a blast. 

And she received a lot of gifts.  You could tell she was no longer sixteen either, she had matured, and her body had too, she had curves along with hips and thighs.

 She had grown more taller and her voice was deeper than before. Her once black and blonde hair was now back to it's old jet black only it was now wavy and she had bouncy bangs. And her sea green eyes shined even brighter in the sun along with her tan skin.

She was wearing light blue jeans with a pink hoodie that read, "New York." on the sleevles along with pink and white Adidas.

"That is not funny !" I told her as she laughed at me with the straw in her mouth as she rolled her car window down as she said "Ok. Ok. That was wrong but you gotta admit you're face was hilarious."

I rolled my eyes at her.

She smiled at me as I said "And plus you were driving slow. That's stranger danger right there." as she chuckled and said "Ok, I won't do it again. I'll be less jokey."

I narrowed my eyes and briefly itched my hair as she asked her "So are you going to ride the sub or hop in the car with me because we are minutes late and you know I hate being late for a test."

 I put my pocketknife away as I fixed my backpack strap as I opened the passenger side door as I got inside the car as I put my seat belt on as Priscilla rolled the window back up as she drove off.

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

I had to say Priscilla knew how to drive very good.

She stopped at every red light and she followed the speed limits.

She also took care of her car very well. She would wash it, buy gas for it {which she use with her cafe money} and she would change the air filters.

She also rarely ate in her car. She also rarely allowed me to eat in her car because I have a habit of making a mess.

I sat in the car on my phone checking all my texts, prifely texts from my cousin Jason Grace (son of Jupiter, Zeus's Roman counterpart, it's very complicated I know) while Priscilla drove listening to her favorite singer. Taylor Swift. 

She loved her to death and she was blasting her favorite song Look What You Made Me Do while sipping her drink.

She twirled her jet black hair around her finger as the winds whistled in her ear.

Once I got done texting my mom, Priscilla was interrupted by her music by the loud sound of "Grugurgrpgurrghghghg.." she then turned to see me holding my stomach while groaning as she noticed I wrapped my arms around myself as she asked "Zoe ? Are you hungry ?"

My stomach gurgled again as I mumbled "No." as she heard it growl again as she said "Either your hungry or there a very loud thunder that we can't see." as I sighed and said "I didn't get to eat munch because I was running late."

She then reached into her glove compartment as she handed me a bag of Smart food popcorn and a Caprisun as my mouth watered as she said "Here it was suppose to be my snack after the test but I'll just get something else from the vending machine."

I smiled as I said "P, I can't that's you're snack." as she said "Please Zoe eat it. Decides you're going to need your nutrition's, aka you're brain food."

I sighed and took the snacks from her as I began to devour it all one by one. Did I forget to mention I'm a fast eater ? I ate it all before we got to the school.

I licked my fingers which is when Priscilla's drove into the school's parking lot and parked her car {very nicely} as she took her keys out as she got out of the car as she grabbed her purse along with her bag as I got out the out way as we faced the school.

The school was somewhat empty due to the fact that there were only a handful of students there {the handful being the students who decided to take the test during that Saturday instead of the Monday} believe me Priscilla was prepared for this.

She had been quizzing me all day while we were in the car.

 She kept asking like "who did this ?" and "how munch is 6x2 - 2x3" yeah I hope I would remember all of that before the test.

"Ready ?" Priscilla asked my grasping my hand as I turned to her and nodded and said "Ready." as we both nodded to each other as we walked inside.

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

It was quiet. Really Quiet.

Well except the kids would needed to cough while talking the test and others sighing.

Was I nervous ? Yes very. I was sitting in gym with all the other juniors as I sighed and bite the end of my Number 2 Pencil, and my approved calculator.

I stared at the English.

We had gotten on the English part of the test and I had to do that thing like I was know what I was doing when I really do.

I would just glanced up at Priscilla who was flying through her test, she was probably on the math by now while I was stuck on the first page.

I groaned as I went to another question and see if I could answer it. But I couldn't.

The word started to float off the pages, and circle around me like a torando. I looked at them before I made sure nobody was looking at me grab them and place them back on the page hissing "Stay still." it made the girl next to me gaze at me in confusion and I simply gave a ressuring smile back to her before grabbing my pencil again.

 Did I forget to mention my ADHD? I keep shaking my leg and keeping tapping on my desk.

My breathing was going hard and I think tears were streaming down my eyes.

I tried not to make that noise when you're crying, you know THE noise just because it would echo around the room.

I shook my hands and erased an answer which is when one of the test administrator who stood at the front said "Ok Student's you have five minutes left."

Carp ! Five minutes ! It feel like I just started ! Panic, Panic, Panic !

I just started to shake more as I took in deep breathes and focused on my heart beat trying to clam down which is when I glanced up seeing Priscilla looking my way giving me a worried look.

I then felt like I was going to puke my gut's up which is when I raised my hand and asked "Mr. Smith can I take a break ?"

He looked up at me from the stage on his computer as he said "Zoe Grace are you sure ? We only have four minutes left ?"

"She's probably going to cry." a popular girl snickered behind me causing other kids to crack up as I just rolled my eyes.

"I'm positive." I said with short breathes. 

He nodded his head allowing me to go to the bathroom as I closed my test booklet as I rose from my seat about to make my royal escape when I fell to the ground because someone tripped me.

I hit the ground hard. I was surprised I didn't break my noise. I just heard laughing. I looked up to see a face I didn't want to see. It was Gwen. Laughing in my face. I thought she was gone, but no she was still my biggest bully.

After coming from music, both me and Priscilla learned that Gwen was a monster in disguise, an Empousai to be extact a extermetly attrative woman, but underneath truefully a woman with flaming hair, white skin, glowing red eyes, fangs, one prosthetic celestial bronze leg and one donkey leg and wings.

Yeah what a lovely creature, trust me there uglier in person and the smell isn't pleasent either.

Me and Priscilla didn't even truly kill Gwen, we just knocked out out so we could escape, but it was like she didn't even change, same old mean Gwen, she still bullied me her and her mean friend groups.

I just wiped my face off rising up from the ground and rushed to the GYM door before I left I could hear Gwen's annoying laugh causing the other students to laugh in solidarity.

Mr. Smith tried to clam them down and get them back focused.

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

I just sat on the Girl's Bathroom and cried.

I probably sat there for a couple of minutes just balling my eyes out and hitting the walls.

I was so tried of people making fun of me. Believe me they wouldn't make fun of me once they learned who my greek parent was or when I started shouting out lightning bolts.

But Chiron always told me never to use my powers out of angry. 

He said anger can be a demigod's strength and weakness right now it would have been my strength.

My knees were brought to my chest as I wiped my face off and buried my face in my lap. I just sniffled and cried. 

I really just wanted to go home and lay in bed, but I knew hours waiting for me would be a side quest from the FREAKING Greek Gods.

The bathroom door opened as I looked up with a teary face to only see Priscilla.

 She was giving me a worried look once she saw my teary face as she rushed over and said "Zoe." as she knelled on her legs and said "Zoe, it's ok." 

 I wiped my face and muttered "I hate this school." as she sat down next to me and said "Zoe. Don't listen them. You're not a cry baby and crying doesn't make you weak."

"To them it does." as she picked up my chin and said "Zoe. They just don't understand." as I sniffled and asked "Can we go home ?" as Priscilla sighed and asked "Would that make you feel better ?"

I nodded as Priscilla asked "Did you finished you're test ?" 

 I nodded (trust me I just circled anything at that point) as she helped me up and said "Yeah, let's get going. Decides I finished with mine to." 

She brought me to the sink and wiped my face off for me as she said to me "I'll go get our stuff, you can go ahead to the car." as she handed me her keys as she went back to the GYM as I went to the school parking lot.

I put my hair behind my ear as I sat down in the car and took in shaky breathes. I hope I did good on my test.

I then heard a tap on the window which is when I turned to Priscilla smiling at me so brigthly munch that I couldn't help but smile back. 

She opened the door as she got into the driver side as she started the car and began to drive to her house.

"Ok. So from what Mr. Smith said to me. We will get our test results back next Friday." as I sighed and said "I hope I did well."

"You and me both." as she sighed and asked me "Look, I know that it sucks that so many of the other students like to bully you but don't worry I got you're back."

I grinned at Priscilla as she pulled into her driveway of her really nice house. 

Priscilla lived in one of the nicest street of downtown New York. She had a big drive thru along with a really big house.

She parked her car as she turned to me and said "Let's have a sleepover and were going to have a girl's day tomorrow. Just you and me." as she grasped my hand.

I smiled at her as we both grabbed our bags and got out the car. Priscilla went towards the door as she opened it and walked inside.

I've never been to Priscilla's house before. It was very nice on the inside just like it was on the outside.

She had a new white couch in the Living Room with a white rug and some photos of her and her mother along with a bookshelf that held many different types of books as the smell of a blueberry pie filled my noses. Her mom must have been baking.

"Man, I love your house." I told her as she put her carkeys on a nearby key holder that I noticed "HOME SWEET HOME." she shouted "Mom ! I'm home." as her mother came from the kitchen.

Priscilla's mom was very beautiful women. She had bright tan skin with long jet black hair wit a few streaks of gray in them with bright warm brown eyes as she was wearing a blue shirt with white jeans, white flats and face was covered in smudges of blue frosting along with a kitchen apron on.

"Hello Love Bug, I'm surprised to see you home so early." as Priscilla smiled as she noticed me.

"Hello Zoe." as I smiled and said "Hi Ms. Jackson." as she smiled and said "I hope you to did very well on you're test."

"We did and Zoe's staying over."

"That's nice. Does April know ?" as I nodded and said "I can let her know." as she nodded and said "Ok. Well I'm going to go ahead and get this food ready, because I have a date."

I rose a brow and smirked at her and said "A Date ?" as she smiled and said "Yes. I surprised Priscilla didn't tell you about David ?"

"I'm not." Priscilla joked as her mother said "David is not a bad person. I don't see why you don't like him."

"I have my reasons."

Priscilla did tell me about David. David Johnson was Priscilla's mom's boyfriend. 

Priscilla said they meet at her mom's cafe and after cups of coffee together they fell in love. They've been dating for a couple of months now. 

Priscilla told me she wasn't a big fan of David just due to the fact that she never see anyone with her mom but Poseidon. She also strictly told me she's not calling him step-father.

"Well I hope you have fun on your date." I told her as she smiled and said "Thank you Zoe." as I grinned and nodded.

She then said "Ok, well girls I'll be home later tonight. And I made steak and pasta so that on the stove when you girls get hungry and there's snacks in the cabinet." as she wiped her face and took off her apron as she fixed her hair.

"Ok." Priscilla said as she put her bag down as we both went to the couch as I followed and sat next to her as Priscilla started the TV.

"Also, if you girls need anything please don't be afraid to call me." as Priscilla sighed and said "Mom, we'll be fine."

She sighed and said "I trust you, I trust you. Just please don't destroy my house." as Priscilla smile back which is when the doorbell ringed.

"Oh that must be David," she said as she fixed her clothes as she turned to us and asked "How do I look ?"

"Beautiful mom." Priscilla told her with a smile as she opened the door which is when David came in.

He had ash brown hair, arctic blue eyes and clear light skin with nice denim clothes and nice brown shoes. He looked like a movie star but he was just a math teacher.

"Olivia." he said as they hugged each other and gave each other a kiss as Priscilla lost her smile and sit down on the couch.

"David, it's so good to see you." as they broke apart as they turned to us as Olivia said "David, this is my daughter Priscilla." as Priscilla rose up and gave a short wave and a fake smile.

He waved back and smile as he said "It's so great to meet you Priscilla."

"Same." she said in an unenthusiastic voice as her mother gave her a look that read "Be nice."

"And who's this ?" he said turning to me as I grinned.

"Oh David, This is Zoe Grace. She's Priscilla's best friend."

"Well, it's nice to meet you Zoe." he told me, raising his hand in a greeting as I shook it and smiled and said "It's nice to meet you too."

"You girls know, I can get you two transferred from Yancy to Sun Valley really quick if you want." he told us which was the school he taught at. It was also a lot better than Yancy Academy  environmentally wise and academic wise.

Before David could list off more reasons on why Sun Valley would be a great school for both me and Priscilla.

Priscilla cut him off and said with a grin "That won't be necessary. Decides me and Zoe just took our finals, and I don't think it's going to be easy for transfer, so thanks but no thanks."

I gave a look and turned to her and muttered "Rude munch ?"

She rolled her eyes at me as Priscilla's mom said "Ok then we'll be going. We'll see you girls." as they waved goodbye and left.

Once Priscilla's mom left. Priscilla went to fix food for the two of us as she warmed it up as she went back to me and handed me the bowl.

"How's it taste ?" she asked me as I sighed and said "Good ?"

"You don't sound happy." she noted digging into her food as I said "Still upset, I guess."

She then handed me a bottle of water as I drunk it as I swallowed my food and asked her "Have you gotta any monster attacks." as she drunk her water and said "Yeah you ?"

"Alot. I'm worried what if somethings wrong with camp ?" as Priscilla turned to me and sighing and said "Zoe. If something was wrong we would have know."

I sighed and brushed her off as Priscilla got done and noticed my sighing and asked "Wanna re-watch TVD."

I looked at her and smiled as I said "Yeah." as she put her bowl away and got out a fuzzy blanket and said "I'll pop popcorn."

I smiled and went to the couch as I sat down and turned on The Vampire Diaries. 

I sat down and watched and joked with Priscilla while we watched TV.

She walked back towards  me with buttery popcorn and sodas as we watched.

We were on episode 3. I didn't mean to be rude but while I was drinking blue soda, I gave out a low belched causing Priscilla to laugh at me.

I covered my mouth and said "Sorry."

"It's fine." she said as she chugged her blue soda.

She then smacked her lips only with it to be followed with a louder belch than mine. 

She didn't even feel guilty about it. I just stared at her eyes wide as she gazed down at me and said "What ? I have no shame." as she finished the rest.

I just laughed at her and she laughed at me back. (I guess to tell me I didn't need to apologize for my behavior around her)

Soon it was around 12:00 soon we fell asleep. I was tried. I opened my eyes only to find myself asleep on a Priscilla's shoulder. I smiled. 

Priscilla drool a little on me but I didn't mine.

I rose from her and cleaned up. I did the dishes and cleaned the table. I yawned and got ready for bed.

I carried Priscilla upstairs as I tucked her in. She looked nice in her sweatpants and white cropped top. She moved around a bit but got comfortable.

I grinned and got in next to her. I stayed to the side and before falling asleep I would just look at her.

"Night P." I told her as I sighed and got under the covers and went to bed.

▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰

𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚⚡

I woke up to shivering and moaning.

I rose up and turned only to see Zoe with the blanket half over her curled in a ball shivering and shaking.

"Z !" I said trying to wake up her but she kept shaking.

I guess she was having a nightmare. I could tell because she keep saying "Priscilla ! Priscilla ! I'm here !"

Soon my lamp started shaking along with lightning starting to strike.

"Ssh Zoe I'm right here." she then started shaking and wailing her arms around.

 I made sure her head was on a pillow.

Tears started coming down my eyes as I said "Zoe, please wake up !"

Zoe gasped and jolted awake as she caught her breathes. She was sweating as she turned to a scared me.

"Priscilla I-"

"Don't ever scare me like that again, do you hear me ?!" I asked her in a concern yet loud voice.

Zoe nodded and said "I'm sorry."

I sighed and asked "Are you-"

Before I could say anything Zoe she put her hand over her mouth and rushed to my bathroom as she closed the door and threw up.

Well how nice to wake up at 2:23 in the morning.

I waited by the door as I opened to find Zoe bent over the toilet puking her guts up. She coughed as I leaned on the door and asked "You ok ?"

She sighed and turned to me and said "No, not really."

I sighed as she flushed the toilet and wiped her eyes.

"Nightmare ?" I asked her as she nodded as she got done brushing her teeth with the spare toothbrush she kept in my bathroom and sat down on the bed with me.

"Was it me holding the sky again ?" I asked her as she nodded again as I gave her a bottle of water.

"I'm telling you something's wrong with camp." as I sighed as she took a sip of her water as I said "Zoe, Camp's fine and if something was wrong Chiron would have told us."

"Well I just think something's wrong I've been getting this nightmare's for months now and I'm scared."

I hugged her and said "Don't worry, It's going to be ok." as she sniffled and wiped her tears as I sighed and said "If we go back to Camp, well that make you feel better ?"

She nodded while on my chest as I sighed and said "Ok if going back to Camp well make you stop worrying about this whole nightmare thing, that's what well do then."

Zoe smiled while hugging me. "Decides, you've been having the same nightmare for a while now."

"Well go back and find out what's going on."

"Deal ?" I asked her as she nodded and said "Deal."
