The Shawn Hodgson Chronicles

Book Three

Battle of the Hunt

Chapter One

I Kidnap a Princess

Okay, before you ask, going to the world of Clash to find the princess there and bring her to camp was not my idea. My

mother made me do it. I don't understand why she couldn't have just gone there herself and asked the King nicely to

let her take said princess to camp, since she was a Demigod, but, no, I had to get into my Camaro (Birthday present,

juicy gossip, ask me later.) and drive through a portal to find a Princess, grab her by the arm, toss her into the Camaro,

drive back to the portal, drive through, and do it in time for dinner. Story of my life. Anyway, I arrived at the Arena,

where I guess they have the Royal games, and I snuck in without being seen. It was easy, everyone was looking at the

game. I snuck in, took out the perfume I'd brought (Another one of Mother's crazy ideas) and sprayed it at the exit. The

wind was blowing into the Arena, which would make it easier for my target to smell it. Just then, I heard a mumbling

sound. I went outside, and saw four shirtless guys dragging MY target towards a wagon. They had her gagged, which

made me madder. I jumped at them, and, since it was nighttime, formed a sledgehammer. When they saw me, they

drew their swords. I swung the hammer. They stopped bothering me. The princess got up, except she was wearing a

common dress, and no tiara. It made me wonder why she was dressed that way. She faced me. "Who are you?" I

cleared my throat. "My name is Shawn." She looked me over, then looked at the unconscious nutballs laying on the

ground. "You know they're going to kill us when they wake up." I faced her. "Relax. We won't even be here." I hit a

button on the remote in my hand. Cam drove over, and decloaked. I love my car. I can have the autopilot going while

I'm in hyperspace and take a nap, and nobody can tell me no. Anyways, we got in, and I drove to the portal. On the

way, I faced her. "I heard you were a princess." She nodded. "I used to be." I faced her. "What happened?" She faced

me. "That grumpy old man decided to disown me, just because I jumped into the games." I shook my head. "Sexism."

She faced me. "What?" "It means he believes that men should do one thing and that women should do another." She

sighed. "All I want now is to find someplace to be what I want to be. A girl who doesn't have to worry about being

married off one day." I smirked. "We have plenty of girls like that at Camp." She faced me. "What camp?" I grinned.

"You'll find out." When we got to the portal, I used the talisman Mother dearest had given me. When the portal was

open, I drove in, straight into camp, where the Hunters, Gavin, and Ruka were waiting.

A/N

SoftWare: I'm sorry, but after playing through Clash Royale, and seeing the Princess in action in TV Royale,

I had to do it. I had to throw in the Princess. I call her Julia since I found a FanFiction with an Archer

named Julia. (Don't ask)
