Zach laughed and shook his head at Taylor. "My accent is kind of fading, but it'll appear from time to ime. Blame me livin' on the farm," Zach told Taylor smiling, his country accent appearing again. zach wanted to face-plam. He honestly hated his accent since no on really here in New York talked with one. Zach grinned again, pressing his lips to Taylor's.

Taylor laughed. "I still like it though," she said, pulling on some strands of Zach's hair. Taylor cleared her throat. "Am I doin' it right?" Taylor said, trying to mimic the accent but slightly failing to do so. She actually found the accent cute, but she didn't really know why. Maybe it was because Zach was doing it? Taylor grinned at the thought.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sat Feb 25, 2012 8:26 am

Zach laughed at Taylor's attempt. He smiled lightly, his blue-green eyes lighting up.

"You ain't doin' it right mis," Zach told Taylor in a grin. Zach chuckled and shook his head. Taylor sounded better in her own accent.

"I like yours better," Zach whispered to Taylor, grinning at her.

Taylor cleared her throat again. Gods, this was harder than she originally thought. "Mine's ain't even good," she tried again, but this time it had improved a bit. Taylor smiled and leaned her head on Zach's shoulder. She covered her mouth with both hands as she yawned. Her eyes found the clock nearby. Wow, was it that late already? "It's almost midnight," Taylor pointed out softly as she made to stand up.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sat Feb 25, 2012 8:40 am

Zach looked up and did see that it was midnight on the clock. Zach studied Taylor. She did seem tired. Zach rubbed her back and smiled at her. Suddenly, he blushed as he realized that there was just one bed really.

"You can sleep in the bed and I can sleep on the couch," Zach said to Taylor, turning a bit red and shrugging his shoulders.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sat Feb 25, 2012 8:48 am

Even with her sleepy state, Taylor managed to roll her eyes. She was not going to let Zach sleep on the couch when there was a more comfortable place to sleep on. "Zach, I'm fine with the idea of both of us sleeping on the bed. I trust you. And anyway if you're going to try anything weird, you're going to end up frozen courtesy of yours truly," Taylor said as she rubbed her eyes. She yawned again as she tried to pull his arm. "I am not in the mood for an argument. Let's go."

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sat Feb 25, 2012 9:37 pm

zach laughed lightly at Taylor. She did seem tired. Beofre Taylor could do anything, Zach picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom. Zach was tired as well. Zach laid Taylor on one side and laid next to her, wrapping his arms around Taylor.

"Night. Love you," Zach muttered to Taylor before falling asleep.

Taylor was already asleep by the time she made contact with the bed. She was just so tired today. Hey, more things happened to her today than the days of the past week combined. Her exhaustion was understandable.

As soon as she dozed off, vague and blurry images started to cloud her mind. Taylor saw her dad, Zach, and other friends in camp in her dream. For some completely weird and random reason, they were all playing hockey. Funny how dreams worked. It was Taylor's turn to hit the puck when the whole scene seemed to freeze. She blinked and the scene shifted, showing a rather small house in an urban setting. Bewildered, Taylor walked up to it and pressed her face to the window, only to hear a gunshot and a pained scream. Her heart beating wildly, Taylor looked into the house, seeing everything in it in a mess. The tables were turned, picture frames broken and lying on the floor. What stood out in the room was the red trail on the floor, looking suspiciously like blood. Taylor nearly stepped back at the ghastly sight.

She heard another scream and tried to open the window, but it wouldn't budge. Taylor pressed her face even more to the window, making out the outline of a very familiar man facing off against a masked person. Taylor gave a start as another gunshot echoed in the place and the familiar man fell sprawled to the floor. Blood was leaking out from the wound on his chest. Taylor's jaw dropped when she fully recognized the man.

It was none other than her father.

And then, Taylor opened her mouth in a silent scream.

Zach felt Taylor move every once in a while. Zach's eyes fluttered open when he thought he heard something. Zach say up, rubbing his eyes. He looked around and then back at Taylor, smiling lightly. Zach smoother her hair. Yet, she seemed to open her mouth in a silent scream.

"Taylor?" Zach asked unsure, studying her a bit.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:31 am

The sound of her name seemed to bring her back to her senses. Taylor's eyes snapped open, but her thoughts still contained the last scene of the dream. She noticed that her eyes were moist with tears. Hastily rubbing them away, Taylor turned to Zach. She slightly sat up and tried to even her breathing.

"Dreams... they're just dreams right? I know some demigods have these weird non-dream visions they get in their sleep, but not all of them are real, right? Right, Zach?" her tone was emotionless as she spoke. She looked up to Zach for reassurance that it was only real. It can't be real. It just can't.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:12 am

Zach raised an eyebrow at Taylor. Zach touched her cheek, looking at Taylor worried.

"Why? What did you see?" Zachary asked Taylor in a soft voice. Zach could have sworn he head seen tears, but he wasn't so sure though. Zach wrapped Taylor in his arms and kissed her forehead.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:20 am

"I... It was a dream. Not a vision. A dream," Taylor started to chant to herself. Her dad was too great to get into a situation like that. The dream was just caused by the vision Phobos had made her see. Taylor mentally cursed the god. But still, she was uneasy.

"I saw my dad. He's... not in a good condition," Taylor said, biting her lip. "It's just a dream. It's Phobos all over again. I'm just overreacting. That's it, overreacting," Taylor continued to reassure herself, burying her face in Zach's chest.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:26 am

Zach wasn't really sure what to say in a situation like this. Zach rubbed Taylor's back.

"It's probably just a nightmare. We demigods get them all the time. It's probably not true," Zach said to Taylor. Zach really didn't know what to say. Zach's dad was dead and was never coming back. Zach forgot the feeling of having a dad or a parent around. Demeter was his mom, but she really didn't do anything.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 9:01 am

Taylor slightly calmed down at his words, but the uneasy feeling did not go away. She looked up at Zach. "I need to contact him in some way. Does Eli have a phone somewhere?" she paused, realizing what using a phone would mean. "Never mind, that's a bad idea. Those monsters can probably track us down."

Taylor knew that there was another way, but she just couldn't remember it. The answer was on the tip of her tongue. Gods, her mind was all messed up right now. She couldn't really think straight with the haunting image of that dream imprinted on the face of her thoughts. Taylor wanted to hit herself on the head to help clear her thoughts off.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 2:29 pm

Zach looked at Taylor worried. Rubbing the back of his neck, Zach thought of what to do. Zach dug through his pockets and found a golden coin.

"Iiris messaging could work," Zach suggested, putting the coin in his hand.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:00 pm

Taylor's eyes lit up on Zach's suggestion. "Thank you!" she said, hugging him tightly. Taylor would've kissed him, but given that they had both just woken up, she didn't think it was wise to do so. "I'll be back. Love you!" Taylor whispered to his ear as she rushed to the nearest bathroom.

It hadn't even been two minutes when Taylor appeared by the doorway, her face white. "Do Iris messages usually say 'cannot be reached' or something of that sort?" she said quietly, her hand gripping the door frame so tightly that the whites of her knuckles were showing.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:27 pm

Zach was puzzled by what Taylor said.

"No why? THe message usually goes through," Zach said to Taylor. He finally realized something was wrong and got off the bed. Zach looked throughthe drawers and found a cell phone. He tossed it to Taylor, nodding his head. It would be okay for Taylor to call her dad.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:51 pm

Taylor had to fumble before she caught the cell phone. It took her a few seconds to punch her dad's number since her hands were shaking. Thank the gods she still remembered his number. He made her memorize it when she was young, telling her to call him if it was an emergency. Trying to control her breathing, Taylor pressed the phone to her ear and hoped for the best. One ring. Two rings. Three rings. Taylor loosened her grip on the phone, fearing the worst. Four rings. Five rings. Taylor was about to drop the phone when...

"Hello? Who is this?"

The relief Taylor felt when she heard that someone answered faded quickly. She did not recognize that voice. She kept her silence, waiting for the other person to say something.

"Hello? Are you related to Jason Brooks?"

Taylor's heart almost stopped, her eyes frozen. Her grip on the phone went slack and it fell to the floor, the line going dead. Before anything else could happen, Taylor vaguely heard something scratching the walls of the apartment from the outside.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:18 pm

Zach eyes widened as the scene unfolded in front of his eyes. Zach rushed over to Taylor, gripping her by the shoulders.

"Taylor? Taylor what happened?" Zach asked, his voice raising. He only raised it because he was scared out of his mind for Taylor. Suddenly the window just seemed to explode. A hellhound barked and pounced on Zach, knocking him to the ground.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:32 pm

Taylor opened her mouth to answer but no sound came out. Suddenly, a huge hellhound leapt from the window, breaking the glass into thousands of pieces. The beast tackled Zach to the ground. Taylor looked at them for a split-second before she forcefully pulled her ring off, her celestial bronze sword materializing in her hand where her ring had been. With her eyes gleaming with rage, Taylor plunged the sword into the hellhound's side using both hands. The beast howled in pain before turning into nothing but ashes and smoke.

Even if the beast was already gone, Taylor was still holding the sword in place, her face blank and devoid of emotions. Her lips formed a thin line, her eyes staring into space. She held no emotion but the fire dancing in her eyes. Anger bubbled in the pit of her stomach as she remembered the masked man in her dream. He was going to be so sorry for what he had done.

Taylor perked up as she heard more barking in the distance. Gripping the hilt of her sword in one hand, Taylor pulled Zach up. "There are more. Let's go," she deadpanned as she started to pull him in the direction of the exit.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:38 pm

Zach nodded at Taylor. She seemed different. Zach really wasn't okay with this different though. Zach wrapped his arms around Taylor and closed his eyes. Soone plants wrapped around them and fully enclosed them. When the plant shell opened, they were somewhere else. Zach had no idea where they were, but he knew Taylor would. Zach fell to the ground exhausted.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:50 pm

Taylor held on to Zach as the plant shell opened. Her hand was still gripping her sword as she buried her face in his chest. It took her a few moments to realize that the plant shell already opened. Blinking in surprise, Taylor stepped back to see the small house from her dream. The only difference was that this time, there was a lot of police officers around and there was police tape surrounding the house. Taylor's knees nearly gave way at the sight. She turned to see Zach fall to the ground.

"Zach? You okay?" Taylor asked, kneeling before him as she dropped her sword beside them. Her voice took on an anxious edge now but only because she saw that Zach was in trouble. She started to shake his shoulders slightly. "Tarzan?"

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:59 pm

Zach nodded, looking up at Raylor. She looked bad herself. Zach stood up and wrapped Taylor in a hug, rubbing her back.

"It's probably a different house," Zach muttered in her ear. That was until Zach saw a cop coming up to them. "Are any of you relate to mr. Brooks?"Zach felt his heart drop. Wrong place to travel to in a damn plant. Zach held onto Taylor, afraid he was going to freak.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 9:12 pm

Taylor gulped. She tried to say 'yes,' but no sound came out. Finally, she cleared her throat and said in a breaking voice, "Yes. Is he alright?"

"I'm afraid not," the cop said, squinting at Taylor. "He's in the hospital right now, nursing a few gunshot wounds. Wait, why are you holding a bat?"

Taylor fought the urge to roll her eyes. "I'm a baseball fan and I carry my beloved baseball bat wherever I go," she said coolly. "What hospital is he in?"

After the cop told Taylor the address, Taylor turned to face Zach. She wanted to run, but they can't possibly get there with Zach exhausted like that. "Do you want to come with me? You can rest here first if you like," Taylor said, squeezing his hand.

Subject: Re: A Movie and a Few Monsters -Private- Sun Feb 26, 2012 9:17 pm

Zach shook his head. Zach couldn't leave Tayle like this.

"No I'm coming with you Taylor. I don't care if I pass out by exhaustion in coming with you," Zach said firmly, wrapping his arms around Taylor. He rubbed her back and whispered comforting words in her ear.
