AGAIN, IMPLICATIONS/MENTION OF RAPE/ABUSE/ETC.
DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO THIS.
PLEASE DO KOT JUDGE THE WAY I WRITE CERTAIN THINGS/REACTIONS, I AM NOT AN EXPERT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCES MOST OF THESE THINGS FIRST HAND
I woke up with sweat think on my forehead.
I normaly never sweat in my sleep, atleasth Not this much.
But i knew why i did this time. I Had a Nightmare. No, a horrible memory. But it wasn't Mine. Other cabins already Had These memory flashes, so i thankfully knew what this Had been. But she was still, what was sthe Word? Shocked? Traumatized? Frightend?
She was the daughter of the God of war, God dammnit!
She shoudn't crumble Like this from a simpel memory.
But then, she felt every singel Thing this Person Had felt, she felt every Emotion and Heard every Word.
She Had felt every. Little. Touch.
She coud only Hope her siblings, the other Ares Kids, had gotten Kids with more pleasent memories Form this cabin.
When she woke up and got changed, she coudn't stand anybody having even a slight Chance of watching her, so she Hid. Everytime Someone came to Close to her, she woud Put distance betwen herself and that Person.
When they went to eat Breakfest, she coud barley stomach anything, rather Picking at Her food than eating it. But, one Thing she Had noticed, she'd become more aware of her suroundings, wich Made her notice the whole Ares cabin, her cabin, was awfully quiet and happend to behaved in a similar Männer. Though, some apeared to Not want to let Go of another Person, some avoided any physical contact, some onl, eyes contact, and some only avoided being touched in certain parts of their Body.
But one Thing was clear, the whole tabel was quiet.
Wich was a sign, to every other cabins, chiron and Mr d, that they'd gotten their First Dreams, and they weren't pleasent ones.
No wanted to Imagine the Things they'd Seen, felt, smelt or Heard, because they Ares tabel was Always loud, no exceptions. Not a single one.
But they Had to continue on with their day.
Most of the Ares Kids had Trouble concentrating, thinking about the dream they'd Had. Everyone noticed they Had all been slacking, aspecaly one Person. Clarisse.
Yeah, she'd been the one to have the worst dream of them all, it was so Bad for her that she didn't even want to Talk about it, or think about it.
So she was left to Wonder, who Had she dreamt about?
Had it been the Athena cabin, perhaps? Her Kids we're Not Always known to have a good start in Life, because eathena often understood her lovers wrong or came at the wrong time, or anything Like that. Wich caused difficult childhoods. But that coudn't be right. It felt wrong.
When she went to bed, she hoped it'd be a nice dream.
And it Had been, truly. Untill the dream shifted into her, laying in a street Corner, starting and Freezing. She knew it wasn't actualy her, but If was still Not a nice Feeling.
How Had this Person ended up Here? Easy, a man, assumingly this persons das/step-dad, kicked them Out because their mother wasn't there, and He wanted space.
When they mother did come honey she apologized and promised it woudn't happend again.
She woke up, Feeling worse than Yesterday.
She'd Seen the Same man twice, this Had been the Same Person. How was that possible? Or Had there been twins in a cabin? Only the Dionysius cabin, but He was a Faithfull husband, If you excluded the twins currently occupying His cabin. And besides, they'd Lived a good Life, she knew that, and their mother never re-married or Fell in Love again.
Maybe the Hermes cabin? No, that coudn't be.
Maybe this realy was the Same Person.
This was weird.
Later, she went to Talk to chiron about it, and she Had aperantly Not been the only one with this Problem.
For Research, chiron let the Ares Kids Father in their cabin.
"Has anyone Here Had the suspicioun to have dreamt of the Same Person as they dreamt of before? If so, raise your hand" Not a single Hand wasn't raised. Okay, this was weird.
But He tried playing it Off.
"If you're worried, do Not worry. We are Not Done analyzing this Strange occurance, it's propably normal.
You propably Just got a cabin with very few occupants."
He suggested. In reality, He was genuinly worried.
They all nodded. He was propably right.
But their additude changed after the next night.
Clarisse's dream was weird.
She found herself, or rather the Person's memories she was in, in the bathroom, bandaging their Arms and abdomen. The place sshe coud seey and aspecaly the ones she coud feel, told He rwhat it was. They we're fresh self harm scars, Many of them.
'ARE YOU DONE?' a distant voice yelled, propably from the Kitchen.
The Person panicked, they we're Not Done, Not at all.
'YEAH, I'LL BE DONE IN A MINUTE' the Person yelled,rushing to hide what they'd Done to themselfes.
Before they left, they splashed water on their face, to seem fresh. When they did, they looked dinto the mirror.
Clarisse woke up, Out of pure shock. It was early in the Morning, the sun wa sonly starting to Rise, and she knew she coudn't Fall asleep again. Not after that. And she knew exactly where to Go.
//////////
A Boy, No older than 13, sat at the water, watching the waves. "When did you find Out." He asked the Girl behind Him, she was shocked he'd noticed her. He barleyooked awake.
She sighed as she sat down besides Him.
"Had my suspiciouns after the Second dream. But then, this time, you looked into the mirror. Pretty obvious from that Point onward." She explained.
The Boy hugged his knees, resting His head in them.
"I never wanted to think of any of that again, but when people Started having Dreams, i coudn't Help but worry they'd See Mine. I never told anyone." He Said, His voice Started cracking as tears Started rolling down His Cheek.
"Now you don't need to, we already know." She says in a warm Tone.
"..Thank you..."
