Chapter I

JACK

I'm Jack Wills. Hopefully you aren't about to die. Or be kidnapped. I mean, this is my first story and somebody's got to read it. Enjoy!

It starts at dusk. At Camp Half-Blood. Oh! Right. I'm a son of Hades. I probably should've told you that earlier. Well, now you know. So I was walking back from Capture-The-Flag. I was coming up a hill. I saw a kid who I'm pretty sure I haven't seen before. I did only come two years ago, and this place has more kids than how many animals are in the Bronx Zoo if you get what I'm saying. I decided to get closer. As I walked up the hill I noticed Xanya. She's a daughter of Ares, but if you compared her to Clarisse, she's the nicest person you'll meet. But this kid. Not Xanya. He was suspicious.

"What's your name?" Xanya asked him as I came up the hill. There was some kind of writing on his arm, but the wind was rippling his sleeve so it wasn't possible to read it.

"Alexander. you can call me Alex." Alex was his name. Huh. I got up the hill.

"Who's your parent?" I said as I got nearer.

"Bell-Athena." I looked at him quizzically. I started piecing it all together.

"My friends in Athena cabin haven't mentioned you…" Xanya responded, now looking at him, confused. She obviously just now started to think negative.

"What are you doing in our camp, son of Bellona?"

That stopped Alex. He looked at me.

"Okay. I admit it." Alex said. Xanya seemed fine with just that. Amateur. "Reyna went missing and I was chosen to scout."

"WHAT?" I exclaimed. "Reyna goes missing, and out of all places, you come to HERE!? We just saved the world with you guys two years ago!"

"She's my sist-" he started.

"I don't care if she's your sister! You have no right to come to Camp Half-Blood to look for Reyna! It's like accusing us!"

"I'm leaving, OK? This trip proved inconclusive." He turned around.

"No. I'm taking you to Chiron."

"No, you're not."

Xanya looked back and forth to see if it would get worse. Her eyes hardened as she saw what was going on.

I reached out into the shadows and summoned a big sleeper. "You're following me. Thank you." (Now Xanya's like you pulled the first punch, and Alex is rolling his eyes like he knew all along. Really? You did? Eh.)

He looked at me and his eyes glowed with rage. He unsheathed his sword. "I'm. Going. Now leave it be."

Xanya immediately straightened. She brought her arms out, and she charged with war energy. She brought her hands down. They were glowing, as well as her eyes. She brought her left side to the front and she shook her right arm stiffly. Instantly a wall separated us, and there were walls on either side of each of us. I guess we can't go front or to the side. Xanya looked strained. So I used the shadow sleeper, made it go over the wall, and knock out Alex. (Now that we're all friends, Alex is laughing his behind off. OW! I thought we were cool! Oh, the behind part? I'll say it again one day… Back to the story!)

"ARE YOU KIDDING!?" Xanya outraged. I stared at her. Confundedly. I just stopped and looked at her again. She didn't realize I wasn't being stupid. (YES I WAS! No. Yes. NO. YAS. Urgh. I win!) We started arguing.

"YOU DON'T JUST USE YOUR POWERS ON ANYONE!" Xanya said as my ears felt like they were imploding.

You wouldn't believe what happened next. The Big House door opened and then…

"What's all this ruckus about?" Chiron asked.
