PJO FANFIC
Love You to Death... Literally.
Prologue
I sat with my friends on top of a bench, we were laughing and giggling like mad. This guy, somebody from the Apollo cabin... Or was it Hermes?... Well, whatever, he was throwing his challengers aside easily. You see, we were having this little competition between the cabins, it was a dueling competition. The rules were, you get hurt, your out for the rest of the day. I hadn't been challenged yet, and I really didn't care about this whole sparring thing, so I didn't really pay attention.
"Come ON, Free!" My friend giggled beside me. "You can slam this kid!" She smiled and giggled some more.
The rest of them nodded. "Totally." The said in unison.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."
As if on cue, the guy walked up to me, a grin on his face. And, to my surprise, broke out in song. "Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?"
I smiled and rolled my eyes again. My friend OOOOOOOED around me. "Free, daughter of Athena." I responded cooly.
"Hello, I love you, won't you step in my game?" He sang, still grinning.
I took this as a challenge, so I stood. "Yeah, sure, whatever." I bent down and grabbed the silver circlet from my Ug boot. I immediately felt it grow heavy and balanced in my hand, a sword. The circlet was enchanted to appear on any pair of shoes I was wearing, I really loved my sword.
"Bring it, Song boy." I retorted.
And he did, he charged and immediately slashed at my sword side. Good move, but weird strategy.
I moved out of the way and swatted his sword away from me. This guy was soooooo not at my level.
He moved in, and tried to get at me. But my defense was excellent, I twirled my sword in my hand and slashed at his blade, knocking it back again. Gods, I need to get a life... Sorry, got off track, anyway...
Now, the move I was about to do is probably the stupidest move I've ever done, but I didn't know it would save my life then...
He slashed towards me, I slammed my blade into his and sent it flying towards his face.
Here it comes.... I sidestepped as he tried to get his sword balanced and decided to swing at me, and then, I slashed at him. This obviously took him by surprise, because he barely got out of the way, my sword grazed his side. Yes, the sidestep-slash move was the stupidest move ever, especially for a child of Athena. But hey, as I said before, it would save my life someday.
I whipped my sword forward and pointed it at his chest. "You lose." I said simply and lowered my sword.
He blinked and then smiled. "Good one." He turned and began to walk towards the Infirmary.
"Wait!" I shocked myself as I called out, "Who are you?"
His grin broadened. "Foreman, Undetermined." And then he walked on.
