Clarisse LaRue

I ducked under the swinging pipe and climbed up the tower. I kept my eye on Percy, who was catching up pretty fast.

"You're never going to beat me, Jackson!" I screamed at him slightly causing him to loose his balance.

He stumbled upwards and he met my eyes. "Is that a fact or an opinion." He climbed up quickly dodging three daggers targeted to hit him.

I ducked and took the dagger that missed by head and was lodged in the wood and threw it at him. It scratched him in the arm but did no real damage.

"Fact!" I screamed and headed up the next section of the obstacle tower. The next section was covered with lava and had a rope you had to climb to get to the top. I avoided the lava secreting from the open pours of the tower and made it up the top. Looking down I saw campers falling on the safety mat meaning that they were eliminated.

"I found a short cut." Percy chucked pointing to his vial of water that was now empty and steam behind him. He drew Riptide and I drew my sword. I had received a gift from my father, which was very rare. It was a new sword after a broke Maimer. This sword was red and black with a dangerous blade.

He stroke first and I parried quickly. I went for his leg but he saw what I was trying to do. He countered and tried to unbalance me.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket but I ignored it. I cut his arm and he winced in pain I tried to kick him again but he ducked staggering away.

My phone buzzed again and I ignored it a second time. I tried to push Percy off the edge so I could eliminate him from the game but he held on tight.

"Just give up!" I shouted trying harder. My phone beeped and I slapped Percy across the face and I quickly checked my phone.

'We need to talk. Meet me by the clearing outside of camp at three o' clock. - Chris' I stared at the text in shock I checked the time and it read two forty. Chris had left a year ago to join Luke's army and now he wanted to talk.

I hadn't noticed Percy had recovered and I turned around. Percy ready unarmed me and placed his sword underneath my chin.

"I win." He said he reached for my phone but I grabbed it so he couldn't see the text.

"Your winner, Percy Jackson. Son of Poseidon!" The speaker announced.

I finally got off the obstacle and headed for the clearing. Ignoring laughing from the other campers.

Chris Rodriguez

I waited by the clearing waiting for her to arrive. I checked my watch that read two fifty-seven. I listened closely hoping to hear footsteps nearby and i heard some! Quickly I stepped back in the forest to see who it was.

"Chris!"

I jumped out recognizing Clarisse's voice. She hugged me and I returned the favor. She baked away and slapped me.

I trembled and she said "You deserved it."

"Ok, thanks." I replied as I stood up.

"Now what do you want." She demanded. "It's been almost a year since we last talked and when you joined his army."

"I want to be with you, so I'm asking you if you can join me." I said a little nervous than expected.

She took a deep breath. "Why can't you just come back."

"I can't it's to late for me; but not you." I said. "Aren't you tired of everyone disrespecting you! The god's they don't even answer our prayers! They don't do anything for us. They ruin lives and break souls."

"Chris, you've been gone a long time. Not everything is the same." She spat back.

I chucked a little. "I know everything that's happening. Because we have spies at every corner watching you all. Please join me and we'll be together and you will never be disrespected and laughed at ever again."

"I'll give you three days to think about it, okay. Whether or not it's a yes or no. I need an answer." I backed away slowly.

"I'll give you an answer in three days." She repeated.

I flashed a smile to her and headed back into the woods. I watched as she left and I pulled out my phone and dialed Luke's number.

"Chris, is it done?" The voice at the end of the line questioned.

I breathed in nervously."It's done, we might have a new recruit."
