Lydia's heart skipped a beat as she woke from her sleep, almost falling from her bunk hearing the terrifying shriek echoing through the camp. Almost immediately, she hopped from the bed and slipped on her nikes.

The screaming continued and Lydia glanced around her cabin, seeing everyone still soundly asleep. She paced around, stopping at Allison's bed and leaning forward to shake her awake. Once her skin came in contact with her friend, the scenery changed. They were now in the woods, Allison lying on a bed in the middle of a clearing, Lydia's hand resting on her shoulder.

Lydia jumped back, letting go of Allison, who flickered and disappeared. She started backing away from the center of the clearing.

"Lydia. Oh, sweet Lydia." She heard a male sounding voice say.

"Terry! That's not what we are here to do. Lydia, we have a message for you." A woman's voice said.

Lydia then heard a gurgling sort of noise. She began to look around her and then she looked up. Three birds were perched on a branch up in a spindly tree.

"I'm sorry, who are you? What do you want." She shouted at them, backing away.

"Lydia, it's not time for introductions, but I assume you probably know who we are." The female voice from before came from the middle bird.

Lydia focussed and thought back to her lessons. She caught glimpses of three birds while she dug through her memory. "Terry... Tereus, the one who raped his wife's sister and then cut off her tongue.... But then the two sisters conspired and.. Cooked up his son and fed him to him and then the gods made you all three into birds.... Am I correct? Tereus, Prokne, and Philomela?" Lydia finally caught the full memory and she spouted from her photographic memory.

"Wow, such a bright girl. Too bad we have bad news for you, child. Bad for you and your precious camp anyway, mostly good for us, but we are just passing on a message." The man's voice now came from the bird on the left.

Another gurgle came from the bird on the right. "Mel, we are trying to speak to this child, no one can understand you with your tongue gone. Anyway, Child, our master Ouranus has sent us to deliver a message. He has been spending the past ten years gaining strength to strike at your camp for what they have done to his beloved Gaia. He is now almost ready to strike, sweetheart. And nothing can stop him." Prokne said.

"W-why are you telling me this?" Lydia stood stunned at the gained information.

"Our master likes a fair fight as well as a challenge. Although this will be no challenge for him, for you puny Demi gods and gods can do nothing to stop him, but he sent us to deliver this message, and we obey master Ouranus." Tereus stated.

"Hope to see you again, Lydia, give your mother our best." Prokne said smoothly. The birds began spiraling upwards out of the deep forest. Lydia saw but one gleam as they disappeared into the sky.

Lydia collapsed to the floor, falling through it as the green grassy floor began to stretch, almost like elastic and then, right where Lydia had been sitting, the dream broke and she fell through, screaming until she sat upright in her bed, hair plastered to her neck and face in sweaty spirals.

Malia was pacing the beach, her fingers tearing through her hair. Her feet were pressing into the sand, as she slowly thought over what just happened.

"I think you're really pretty." Malia spouted out.

"W-what?" Kira stepped closer to Malia, who could now feel her heat radiating from her body.

"I- I think I like you.." Malia reached her hand forward and pushed a strand of hair from Kira's face, her hand brushing her cheek. Kira looked down, her cheeks turning crimson. She looked up at Malia and then she started backing away.

"I don't know what I like..." Kira looked down again.

"Well, like me." The dirty blonde girl hesitated and stepped closer to Kira once again.

Kira backed further away, "I'm dating Scott, Malia. I can't betray him l-like this... Please understand." She started to turn away from her and she started walking away.

"Wait! Kira.. There's something you should know." Malia was gripping onto a tree now. Kira paused and turned slightly, displaying her dark pupils.

"Wh-what?" Her voice was cracking.

What was Malia doing. She never thought she would say what she'd seen. She doesn't break up relationships. Never. But this was different... Anyone should know about something like this.

"I saw.. I saw Scott kissing someone."

"God Malia! What were you thinking!" Malia shouted at herself.

After she said what she did, Kira had teared up and ran off of the beach, running towards her Aphrodite cabin.

Malia would have never done that on any normal circumstances. She didn't add that the person Scott was kissing was one of her best friends Allison.

Liam was sitting in his normal spot, at the top of the highest hill in the strawberry fields. He came here very often, being the lame little brother of Malia, having zero friends, being the constant failure at sword fighting, lacking any talent other than flight on those stupid flying shoes.

He groaned at his thoughts and started eating from the one strawberry plant that the satyrs had reserved for the frequent visitor. The sweet red fruit burst in his mouth and he calmed a little from the recent disaster.

The one person Liam hated, for his constant teasing at his loser-ish qualities, Brett, had done his worst at the amphitheater. He'd started a rumor that Liam talked to himself, and all of the campers had laughed, along with the one girl Liam couldn't stop looking at, Ashley Talbot. His twin sister. She looked like she wasn't really laughing, actually smiling sympathetically at Liam, but Liam couldn't let it go.

He closed his eyes and held them shut tightly.

"Liam? Is that you?" He heard footsteps on the underbrush of the strawberry fields. The soft voice continued. "I see you come up here sometimes.." She paused and finally spotted the boy, digging his feet into the dirt. "Hey.."

It was Ashley. "Uh.. Hi Ashley.." Liam coughed up as he turned towards her. She walked over to him and say next to him.

"Please, call me Ash." She smiled. "I just wanted to see if you were okay. Brett can be a real asshole." She spoke softly, addressing her brother.

"Yeah.. I just don't know what I did to him to make him hate me so much." Liam opened up slightly to Ashley.

"He's weird about protecting me and I guess he sees the way I look at you." She blushed brightly, turning her head away from Liam.

"Why would you look at me-" he broke off, realization hitting him. His head swiveled to look at her. "Wait... You like me?" He looked shocked.

She turned towards him slowly. "Uh, yeah I guess... I've kind of always had a crush on you since, well, since we got here three years ago." She blushed even brighter. "But a lot of the girls like you and my brother is a dick to you so I though I had no chance..."

"Ash.. I've liked you for a few months now, and you always caught my eye... I thought I never had a chance with you... I am the 'lame Liam' I just thought since you were Brett's sister, you didn't like me either." He chuckled and smiled widely, pulling Ashley's chin up.

She looked into his eyes and smiled. He was caught off guard and he leaned in slowly, feeling as though Gravity was pulling him towards her.

Their lips crashed and Liam felt a wave of Sparks and colors burst into his mind.
