Chapter 2: Archery ends With a Bang

I won the race, if you wondered. Now, I would love to say archery went well and I didn't get killed or hurt. But, unfortunately, that didn't happen. I'd better rewind to when we got there.

So yeah, me and Lucas raced, I won, and were at archery. We selected our bows, but Chiron had to choose our arrows to make sure none of them were magic (exploding, poisoness, .). Of course, Lucas started out with a bulls eye. I, though I am ashamed to say, started with dirt just to the left of the target.

I let out a good long stream of curses and swears as I tried and failed to hit any part of the target. Lucas laughed and asked, "Need some help?" I gritted my teeth and tried one more time. As it hit the dirt, I let out an exasperated sigh. "Yes, please." I said.

I don't except help easily, as I am a very stubborn and determined person. He gave me a few tips that you probably wouldn't understand. When I tried them, I actually hit the target this time. The edge, but give me a brake. Archery was the activity that I sucked at most.

Then Lucas helped me with my aim. Little comments like, "a little to the left" or "a bit higher". After he said my aim was perfect, I shot. It was straight and true. It hit the target right in the middle. "Yes! Did you see that? My first bull's eye ever! Thanks Lucas!" I said.

I gave him a knuckle bomb. Part of my soul was thinking, fantastic, my first bull's eye and there's only one person watching. The other part said, shut up, at least it was Lucas. Now go and celebrate and tell your friends later. After that, my soul conversation was over. After that one lucky shot, I was even more determined.

I kept on shooting until dusk. Sometimes I hit it, sometimes I didn't. I never got another perfect shot, but I didn't care. Lucas, on the other hand, got a bull's eye every time. In case you didn't realize, Apollo is the god of archery, the sun, and a ton of other stuff. "All right, last shot. Then it's time for dinner." I told Lucas. He nodded. I aimed my bow and arrow. Left... right... a little bit down... and shoot!

Time seemed to slow down. I heard evil laughter, like in those horror movies, deep and evil. "Teagan Janel!" it bellowed. "What do you want, Kronos? Cant you see I'm busy here? Why don't you go an intrude on a different demigods life?" I asked, crossing my arms. Now, you may be thinking, why are you insulting the Lord of Time? That's suicide! Well, he's really annoying. He's been bugging me my whole life. Apparently I have a "special gift" or something.

See, listen to what he said next, "Why, because you are special and you could be used against me!" he yelled, which almost cracked my ear drums. "Ok, first, lower the voice! Your going to make some one deaf! And second, if you know what my awesome power is, tell me." I demanded.

He laughed again. "Foolish mortal! Nobody knows your power even exists! Except for me, that is." I rolled my eyes. "Mmm-hmm. So, basically, you don't know what my power is?" seriously, this guy is dull. Why doesn't he just give me a straight answer? There was a rumbling sound like Kronos was angry. "Nobody knows what your power is yet, mortal. But as soon as you know, I'll know. Now, I hope you enjoy death." he said, which seemed a bit confusing to me. Then time sped up.

My arrow was going completely straight, then, right as the tip hit the target right in the middle, it exploded. The force was like a bomb. I glanced over at Lucas. He was frozen in shock. Just before the nuclear blast hit him, I ran over and pushed him behind a rock. Unfortunately, I didn't get away. The force of it burned my skin and I flew backwards and hit my head against a rock. I blacked out.

PAGE BREAK

I found myself on the shore of a river. It was night time, and everything seemed to be black. I saw a boat, and a skeleton man in a black cloak. He raised his head. "Do you have a coin?" he asked.

I said something real intelligent, like, "Ummm..." then, I woke up back into the mortal world. I realized with a shock that I had been dead in the under world, Hades's realm. I woke up in the camp's hospital, feeling like I was still on fire. I saw Lucas in a chair next to me, closing his eyes and holding my hand.

"Uuuhhh..." I know, again with the incredible vocal skills. Lucas's eyes fluttered open. "Your alive? But that's impossible! Your heart stopped since the explosion! How did you...?" he yelped. "Water... please." I managed. My throat was dry and I was boiling. Lucas nodded and rushed off to get my water.

He was quite cute when he was worried [All right, there, I said it. Now shut up Lucas. You know how this story ends.]. I laid there for a while, thinking about the power. Could it really be coming back to life? Or was that just luck? I wasn't going to try to kill myself just to see if it was true though. I already died once, and that was one more time than I would like to die.

Lucas came back in with a pitcher of water. "Thanks." I croaked. I gulped down half the water and poured the rest on myself. My skin hissed like when you put water on a hot pan. Lucas frowned. "That can't be good." he said. "Well, what do you expect? I got hit with a bomb!" I replied, my voice still hoarse. He grinned. "That's the TJ I know!" he said, gripping my hand again.

I didn't care to terribly much though. Then Lucas got serious. "What DID happen up there? You shot your arrow, then you were about to get it in the middle. Then it exploded and you pushed me out of the way and took the blast for yourself. I took you here myself, Chiron fed you nectar and ambrosia, but your heart had stopped after the explosion. I thought... I thought you were dead." he said, looking down.

"You thought you could get rid of me that easily, did you?" I asked. He smiled again. "Nuh-Uh. I know it takes alot more than that to get rid of you!" I agreed with him and told him about bloody Kronos. His eyes narrowed as I spoke. "That can't be good." said Captain Obvious. "Nope. Well, I'm hungry. Is it dinner yet?" I asked, attempting to get to my feet. Lucas blocked me. "Dinner started ten minutes ago. You stay here and I'll get you food. And don't even THINK about trying to walk back to your cabin." He ordered me. I rolled my eyes but didn't say anything.

Lucas walked out the door. I counted to five then sat up. My head throbbed but I got out of my bed. I was dressed in Capri's and an orange camp tank top. I took a few unsteady steps around the room. On my sixth one I stumbled and would have fallen if someone hadn't caught me.

"Careful." a deep voice said. I looked up in surprise. "Dad!" I cried. It was Hermes. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Well, I heard you had a little accident with an exploding arrow. I thought Chiron banned those a few years ago, didn't he?" he asked. I nodded. "It was Kronos." I told him about the voice that had spoken to me.

Hermes looked worried. "I've never heard of anyone coming back to life, unless..." He paused for a minute, as if thinking. Then he shook his head. "No, not yet." I was starting to get annoyed with my dad god. "Umm, could you please tell me what your thinking? I don't like to be kept in the dark, if you don't mind terribly." I said, standing on my own. "It is nothing you need to worry about yet, my dear. Now, I must be going. You should get a quest soon. Take care!" he said, and vanished in a puff of smoke. Typical.

I was feeling a bit nauseous so I walked back to my bed. Only then did I realize that my arm was in a neon green cast, signed by my entire cabin and a few other people and a centaur. It was so crowded on there, you could barely even see the neon green. I've broken bones before, so I was used to it. Just then, the entire Hermes cabin paraded in. The room was filled with laughter and talking as they crowded in. Speaking of people, where was Lucas with my food?

There was a line forming at the side of my bed, with Travis and Conner in the lead. They all congratulated me on being alive and a few gave me gifts or get-well-soon cards. I thanked them all and after they all went through the line, Chiron told them I needed to rest so they all left. Finally Lucas came in with my food. "'Bout time." I said, pretending to scowl. He looked apologetic. "Sorry, it took a while to convince the servers it was for you and not extras for me. Add that to the time it took to get through the Hermes cabin crowd, and now you know why it took me so long." he explained. I lost my scowl and took the food from Lucas. I was so hungry, I probably looked like a pig but I didn't care. When I was finished, I gave Lucas my plate. He set it on a table then came back to my side. My eyes were already drooping when he sat down. "Get some rest, you deserve it. Oh, and thanks for saving my life." he said. I murmured, "Any time." sleepily.

I closed my eyes completely, but I stayed half-way awake to feel Lucas kiss my head. Looks like the boy has SOME good sense in girls. All right, I'll admit. I have a little crush Lucas.

On more important matters, my dreams suck. I usually follow Derek Guard's advise [yes, I actually just said that, now shut up Derek.] and if it's Kronos, ask him random questions. And tonight, that came in handy. You see? Kronos can't help but budge into my dreams EVERY time I go to sleep.

Ugh, the nerve! I was at the edge of an endless chasm, also known as Tarterous, located in the Underworld. Its basically an endless pit of doom. The deep voice of Kronos laughed deep within it. "So, figured out your power, have we?" he asked, his voice echoing around. "Actually, before I answer that, I have a few questions for you first. That is, if it's ok with you?" I asked.

"What? I will ask the questions around here, mortal!" he bellowed. "Ok great. So, what do you eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Why are you evil? Do you like pancakes or waffles more? Did you know that nobody likes you? Are you the Titan of time or the Titan of chainsaws? Have you ever eaten a lollipop? Do you watch Sponge Bob Square Pants? Do you have a TV down there?" I fired the questions at him like a random machine gun.

Then my dream ended and I woke up. I felt much better after a long nights rest. Now all I needed was a proper breakfast and I'd be in paradise. Nobody was in the room so I stepped out of bed. My legs felt a bit better, but they were still weak. I saw a remote controlled wheel chair with a note on it. It read,

Dear TJ,

Use if you feel like you can't walk.

Sincerely,

Chiron/Lucas

Well, how 'bout that. I plopped down in the chair and drove myself to the pavilion for breakfast. When I got in, everyone cheered, except for the Ares cabin of course. everyone asked me how I was feeling. I just said fine and when everyone quieted down, I sat and ordered my food.

As usual, I got pancakes, waffles, bacon, and orange juice. Jade sneaked over with her food. "You sure you're ok?" she asked, glancing at my broken arm. "Oh, I'm fine." I said. Now she was eying my wheel chair. "This?" I laughed. "This is just to make sure I don't walk to much so that my legs can heal a little more. Plus, if I stand too long, I start to feel a bit queasy." She nodded thoughtfully. "Be sure to exercise your legs a bit or they'll get even weaker." Jade conceded.

I laughed. That was the Jade I knew! "Yes, nanny dear!" I teased her. She broke into a grin. "And make sure you always brush your teeth!" she teased back. "Hey, I just realized something! Last night was capture the flag and Clarrise couldn't ground me into a pulp!" I said. "Dang. I was so looking forward to proving her wrong!"

Don't worry, Rick Riordan! I'll be doing cliff- hangers too, in time! You just wait! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :D
