An: to make up for not updating for like a month I'm posting a few chapters for you.

Dream

I was standing in a busy street.

People pass me by like I don't exist.

I waved my hand in front of a man's face, he ignores me and grabs a blondes hand.

In unsure if I should follow them or stay put.

I decide to follow.

They head into an apartment building, I follow close behind.

I just realize there is no sound at all, the world is calm.

"Rose" a croaky voice calls from behind me.

I turn around, but I am unfortunately alone.

"Hello?" I call, but no sound emerges.

I realize I have lost sight of the couple.

I mentally curse my ADHD.

The scene changes, I'm now in a room, I can hear crying.

My poor brother and sister are being held back from my mothers body as they weep.

My mother, her dark, curly hair is caked in scarlet blood.

Question after question race though my mind.

Why would the people just stand here and watch my siblings cry?

What happened to my mother?

Is this a crime scene?

What am I doing here?

Rory and Jacob are finally gone.

I try to hug them in the hallway but they walk right through me.

A tear rolls down my cheek.

The person I'm assuming is a social worker falls motionless to the ground.

Rory and Jacob disappear.

A voice whispers in my ear,

"Get them back. Visit the cave of secrets and prophecies at sunset tonight"

I awake sweat dripping off my face.

Must of accidentally set the blanket on fire.

I sat up and reached down to grab my backpack.

I unzipped it and pulled out a jar that I did not remember putting in there.

Scared, I dropped it and it shattered on the floor of the Hephaestus cabin.

Grey ashes spilled out of the broken jar.

It resembled sand, like a grey sand.

A slip of paper was visible.

I reached down and grasped it in my hands and carefully opened it.

The note read, "I know you missed your Mom, so I brought her to you. Did you know that you can burn mortals very easy?"

My eyes widened as I dropped the note.

I hopped out of my bed and ran into the bathroom to wash my hands and get dressed.

Walking around the camp I studied the campers.

They seemed the thrive with their friends.

I needed friends, or a safe place just to myself.

I sprinted back to the Hephaestus cabin to grab some wood and  tools.

I glanced to my bed only to see the ashes were gone.

I ignored the tear that slipped down my cheek.

I grabbed my things and turned to exit the cabin.

I ran into someone.

"I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed surprised.

"No, it's fine. It's Rose, right?"

"Yeah. I don't know your name"

"It's-"

They were cut off by my brother running in and yelling for me to come outside.

"Trust me" he shouted "you'll want to see this"

Minor cliffhanger as to who was talking to Rose, but that is it, Bye.
