~The Beginning of Life~

~ Chapter 86 ~

KHRISTINE'S POV

A/N
FINALLY WE'RE DONE
Anyway... this is the next day like after they dreamt all their individual biographies. Like when they woke up and...
Someone's gonna die.
I'M SORRY I HAD TO TELL YOU
So yeah. I present- the first death.
I could say so much more but >~>
I can't.

Date: November 15th
Time: 7am
Place: Apollo cabin
Song: Never Again (Breaking Benjamin)

I sit up with a start, to find myself under my bed, tangled in my blanket.
Oh gosh...
So that's my story... And it... felt so real...
Ugh I feel sick...

I roll out and kick my blanket away, before dizzily getting up. I suddenly hear a sharp intake of breath, and I turn to see Walton is up too, with a look of fear on his face.

Wait... "Walton? Did you... see your past?"

He looks at me and nods. "It was... scary..." he sits on the edge of his bed.

Or... no wait... yeah...
Why's everything rotating...?
Oh. I'm tipping over.
Oh look I now have a headache.

I sit down on my bed too, until I tip backwards and lie on my back.
Ow.
ARGH MY HEAD.

"So." I blink. "It... felt real, didn't it?" I ask.

"Yeah..." Walton answers quietly.

I'm not sure if I should ask what happened. But well then I'd have to answer too and... I don't know what I'd say. I was a crazy kid who sung crazy stuff.

Silence.

My head hurts.

I get up.

My head hurts more.

I stand up. And I ignore the pain. "I'm gonna go get breakfast..."

Silence.
I leave.

Time: 7pm
Place: Cabin Fire

Turns out everyone has seen their, well, most important parts of their lives... around 3 years' worth, yet we didn't dream for long.

By now, Walton has slightly cheered up, probably after hearing about my life...

Father's mangled corpse

I blink.

Turn around, turn around...

My kiddy voice echoes in my head, only it's a lot creepier.

Walton waves a hand in front of me. "You okay?"

I nod. "My head isn't."

"Then that's a no... anything healable?"

I shrug. "I'm just gonna go back to sleep."

"Well, you wouldn't be the only one... the others also feel the need to let it sink in... it was so sudden..."

He's referring to our lives... that's what we were all talking about.
And yeah. It was sudden.
And it's so real. I feel more like a part of this place with an actual past. With memories.

"Well..." continues Walton. "I'm gonna go find Leo. My watch broke. I think he's in the..." With that, he heads to the Hephaestus cabin. There's a wooden cabin beside it- I believe they added it to store inventions. And for Asuka's glass figurines. The Inventory.

I look around. There are a few campers standing here and there, near random cabins.

Look who just came to town

Arthur pokes me from behind.
"Guess who?"

I turn around. There's no one.
I turn around again and see Arthur.
"How'd you do that?" I ask, impressed.

"Shadow travel." He smirks. "So why are you standing in this corner?"

Corner? Oh I'm under the shade of the Aphrodite cabin...
"I don't know. Just standing."

Arthur nods. "Have you seen Anna?"

"Anna? No."

"Percy said she was following some animal and no one's seen her since morning..."

"Check the stables?"

Arthur nods and starts walking off.

Suddenly, I hear shouts.

Turn around, turn around

I turn around again and I see Hephaestus kids running out of their cabin.
"Run!"
"It's gonna blow!"
"THE INVENTORY WILL EXPLODE, EVERYONE, RUN!"

Quick and fall and break the ground

Panic.
The cabins near the Hephaestus cabin are being emptied, everyone's running here and there. In the crowd, I lose sight of Walton and Arthur.

There! Walton-
He's standing right IN FRONT OF THE HEPHAESTUS CABIN ALL CONFUSED OH SHIT-

"WALTON!" I scream.

And fall and twirl

Someone suddenly shoves me down, just as the cabin explodes and debris shatters everywhere.

And fly
