Chapter Text
Nightmares. No dreams. Demigod nightmares are always bad, but this one is the worst. The one that tops them all. Only because this isn't a dream, it's reality, and I didn't realize it was reality until it was done.
I wake up in my apartment bed, it feels hard and lumpy as always. My room was filled with photos of me, Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Piper, Hazel, and Frank. Every morning I look at those pictures with a love that spreads so deeply it hurts. Every morning I look at those pictures with care, but today I look at them only with hate. A voice emerges from the depths of my mind. A voice I tried to keep hidden for so long, but now that it's out I can't hide it any more.
