Chapter 1: Bitter White

I squinted, trying to see through the small blizzard. Today, me Sam, and Chance were going to find someone who is supposed to be a son of Artemis and see if he has anything to do with the rise of Orion.

Sam was to my left and Chance was to my right. My best friend Ivan switched places with Chance in order to bring peace between the two camps. We knew an apocalypse was coming. If we could stop Orion's rise, we'll stop the apocalypse.

We were in heavy winter coat with army under it. We had a mission to take out a empusa who was trying to break into camp. I took a golden coin I had stole from Jason Grace and turned it into my daggers and flipped it.

The daggers each had a on each handle. I looked to my two friends and they nodded. Time to go out with a win. We excited the magical borders and there it stood.

Chance had a whack at it with an exploding arrow. Misses by inches. Sam swished with her sword but the empousa had jumped back. It beared it's fangs and snarled at me. I readied my daggers before leaping. I stuck the one in my left hand into it's neck and the other to it's side.

I stood up, whipping the Pixie dust from my pants. I dug my Omega daggers out of the dust and threw them in the air. I stuck the drachma in my pocket and Sam stared at me in shock. I just realized they couldn't touch it, but I could.

"Dude, your beast mode" said Chance, slapping me a high-five. Ever since we messed with his—manhood—he has been less of a **.

"Yeah, we don't want your in-put" snapped Sam, shouldering him as she walked out of the woods. What was up with her? I shrugged it off and followed her.

We entered the camp. I followed Sam to the Poseidon cabin and sat on her bed.

"Okay, spill" I said.

"THAT ** CHANCE! HE THINKS HE'S EVERYTHING! I WISH IVAN WAS HERE! I'D RATHER HAVE THAT SEXIST PIG HERE THAN THE ** KNOWN AS CHANCE!" roared Sam. Several heads turned to us.

"It's okay. He's just here until the end of this quest. No biggie" I said.

"It is a biggie! I don't want him here! I want him rotting with Pluto or Hades or one of his forms! I WANT HIM DEAD!" roared Sam, maybe busting a few windows.

"Well, sorry babe but I've replaced your Ivan. Forever" said Chance, walking in and taking Sam by the waist. Sam looked shocked and she blushed wildly. She pulled back and slap the living crap out of Chance. He stumbled back, holding his red cheek.

"Do. Not. Touch. Me. You. **!" ROARED Sam in his ear, every word sounding like a sentence. Chance ran from the cabin and Sam stormed to the bathroom.

"Hey, wassup?" I asked through the door as I heard a shower turn on.

"Getting clean. What does it sound like?" she asked.

"Can you come talk to me?" I asked. I was really worried about her.

She opened a door, a towel covering her non-wet body. Her fist connected to my face and the door slammed just as quickly as it opened.

Thirty minutes later, Sam walked out in her orange Camp Half-Blood shirt and her baggy jeans. She ringed out her hair as she stepped out. She looked at me and then gave me an un-excepted hug.

"I'm sorry for snapping" she said, her head resting on my chest. That just showed how much taller I am than her.

"It's okay. I would snap if I was you" I said, giving her a bear hug back. I sighed. Maybe I could get her and Ivan to work out.

"Hey, it's love birds!" cried an Ares, seeing us hugging.

"NO WE'RE NOT!" cried Sam. The kid came it to carry us to the lake and Sam punched his face. He recoiled back and then she kicked him in the gut. He made a off! Sounded and backed into a wall.

"Let's see how you like it" she said, dragging him by his ear to the lake. She slung him and he landed with a splash! Wow, bitter white outside and he just got thrown into a lake. Just wow.

Sam: I whooped $$!

Me: Yuppas sis!

Sam: AND YOU POSTED EARLY!

Me: Five minutes of your nagging snapped me.
