Zoe's P.O.V
Why did I trust Death?

Everyone at Aeolus Academy would not have done the same thing. Jake Thales was not someone to trust. Before I knew he was an illegal gang leader, he had been already a bad boy. Though in comparison this was worse. He would date other girls and break their hearts. He got into fights and played sports. Though it doesn't sound dangerous, all these things would be what Americans call "a Jock."

Now, I was in my nightmare induced sleep. That lady's pill allowed both me and my brother to sleep but as soon as my eyes closed, the nightmares began.

The first one was Death who stood behind a line of prisoners who were shackled. If I looked closer, they would be the Hydras. My mind put the pieces together. Death had put an end to the war and had taken prisoners and now was going to sentence them to death. Death's raised his hand and passed it over the prisoners head. As soon as it passed over them, it looked like their souls were leaving their body. I knew right there that only my dream self could see this. All the prisoner's fell, Death looked at me and I had a feeling he could see me. Both his eyes were black and red, both bleeding as he said," Do you fear me now?"

The dream shifted. Now I was in a wasteland with no sun. It was dark and barely visible. All around me I could smell a familiar smell. Then a sharp pain pierced my head. I realized this was what Death smelled like. A slightly poisonous smell that makes your mind hazy.

Suddenly he appeared in front of me, but he looked different. His black hair and bronze skin was now replaced with pale skin and stark white hair. He was still the same height, but he was emitting such a force it almost made me kneel. Almost. He smiled as if he had expected that. His smile...it was perfect. Straight white teeth and it looked wrong on him.

So this is the famous Zoe; His voice echoed around me. Do you fear my powers? Do you fear me? Even the simplest things like touching and I could kill you.

He laughed maniacally at the thought, and I was shaking, daring to faint at any moment. Could I faint in my dream?

But do not worry. See, I need you. You will make Jake more powerful and when you break his heart, he will destroy everything.

With that thought the dream shifted again. However this time it wasn't a nightmare. I was in a black SUV which I come to know that The Remnants rode in. In it was the couple that took Zack and I home and in the back was my parents. They looked nervous and stressed. I watched as my dad covered my mom's hand in an attempt to calm her.

My heart broke right there. My dad never showed fear. He was a proud man who chased anyone who threatened his family away but now he looked vulnerable and to make it worse, six red Hummers came out of the field and pursued my parents.

I was threatening to wet my pants. It was too much to take in. Now my parents were going to die, and I could do nothing but watch.

Suddenly The Remnants braked hard as all six Hummers passed them all. First I wondered why they didn't brake as well and then I saw why. Or rather him. Death had appeared in the middle of the road. I could feel power radiating off him as I noticed his eyes one normal, the other black and red. And the red Hummers were heading straight for him. I tried to scream, but I had no voice and the first car...collided?

No, it crashed into Death but instead of him being thrown away, the car flipped over. As soon as it was mid-air Death took off sprinting his sword now drawn. As he approached the second Hummer, he jumped over it and ran to the third.

I stared at the second Hummer until it ripped apart straight in the middle. Death continued to destroy the rest of the Hummers and in one minute, carnage littered the street as the Remnants convoy came to a stop. No one got out. All my parents could do was gawk at the boy in front of them. He simply nodded and they continued their way. As my parents drove off I stayed behind with Death. For the first time I could see his right arm and it was covered in bandages. I was about to move closer when the morning sun appeared.

And I woke up.
