A/N: Yes, the corrections which were suggested years ago are being implemented now. I'm like the government in that way. A bit slow to do something.
Chapter Two:Things start to heat up
Percy's POV
I just stood there praying with all my might for Apollo to forgive me and NOT kill me.
"It won't work Percy. I can't forgive you for this." said Apollo.
"Please. I didn't mean to do it."
"Didn't look like that from where I stood or watched."
The rest of the group were watching us with anticipation and I even noticed a small bucket of popcorn being passed around. I glared at them slightly. But Apollo wasn't done. He pulled the arrow backwards and was about to let it fly when Rachel caught his hand and whispered something in his ear. He looked surprised and then glared at me for a second, before giving me a small smile and a curt nod to the rest of the group before disappearing.
"You owe me one Percy." said Rachel.
"I know. I'll help you out when you need it."
"Thanks. I guess it's your turn now. Bye." said Rachel and left the cabin.
The rest of the group suddenly gulped as they realized that I was mad and sometimes, an angry son of Poseidon is not what you want.
"So who was the one passing the popcorn around?" I asked them, acting casual.
A silence settled on the group before finally, a hand shot up. It was Beckendorf.
"It must be really hilarious to pass popcorn around when someone is about to get killed." I told him
"Oh, please. Apollo wouldn't have killed you. He would have had to face Poseidon's wrath then."
"I suppose. But still?" I glared at him.
"Fine, I apologize you wuss."
"Good. And now, the moment that I have been waiting for. Truth or dare?" I asked him
"What do you think?" was the reply I got.
"Dare, it is. Alright, since you find invoking the wrath of Gods funny, I dare you to go to Mr. D and tell him that Zeus has allowed him to have a sip of wine for all his hard work."
"So, you want to put him here for the next 60 years instead of the 50 that he has currently." Benckendorf questioned me.
"No, I just want to get justice."
Beckendorf sighed and went to Silena and kissed her passionately.
"No matter what happens, I will still love you." Silena told him. He nodded in agreement.
"You guys want to make me barf, take the barf back in and barf it out again." said Nico while we all shouted 'Ewww' at his comment.
Beckendorf got up and out of the cabin while we all ran to the window to see what would happen. He walked up to Mr. D and gave him the 'good news' and the reaction was hilarious, so as to mildly put it. Mr. D kissed Beckendorf on the lips and then ran about jumping and shouting 'Praise Zeus' to everyone in sight. He then did a cartwheel and ran to The Big House. And then, we heard the thunder and the rumbling and Zeus's voice condemning Mr. D to an extra ten years at Camp Half Blood. And then we saw an angry Mr. D. And trust me, when I say, even Kronos would have shuddered a little. He saw Beckendorf and started running towards him. And Beckendorf, being the brave guy he was, ran directly to my cabin where Annabeth put her invisibility cap on him. Mr. D burst through the doors and looked at all of us coolly.
"Where is the oaf?" he asked us.
"Don't know." said Silena.
"Now that's a lie. He just ran in here." said Mr. D
"That could have been just an automaton." I suggested.
Mr.D appeared to take this suggestion seriously and walked out the door while telling us to inform him if we saw Beckendorf.
"I think I'll remain invisible just in case." said Beckendorf.
We all giggled at this statement and soon we were all cracking up remembering Mr.D's celebration. But pretty soon, Beckendorf had chosen his target.
"Nico, Truth or dare?"
"Truth." said Nico.
"What?" I asked him.
"Well, so far, the only thing you all chose was Dare. So, being the standout son of Hades that I am, I chose truth. It's simple logic really. You're brain shouldn't have too much trouble working it out." Nico told me.
I growled at him and was about to pounce when Thalia held me back and said,
"Don't show off, Nico."
"It's not showing off if you know you're right." Nico replied.
Thalia was about to say something more when Annabeth spoke up.
"Actually Thalia,I would say what you said to Seaweed Brain over here who seems to have grown a big head."
"Do tell me what I did, Wise Girl?" I asked mockingly.
"You want the short version or the long one?" she asked me.
"ENOUGH!" shouted Beckendorf. "Continue your soap opera after the game is over. Nico, be prepared for your question is..."
A/N: Well, I slightly modified this chapter. And the final chapter is next.
