Ch.4

The Tournament

Percy POV

"Percy!" I heard someone yell from outside the cabin door. I hopped out of bed and walked over to the door wondering were Tyson was, because he wasn't in his bunk. Annabeth was standing outside my door. In her armor and her knife strapped to her belt.

"Hello Annabeth." I mumbled tiredly.

"Gods, seaweed brain, did you already forget about the tournament?"

Then I remembered about the tournament this week. "O my Gods." I said surprised. "That's today?"

"Yes now hurry up. Your first match is right after mine." She turned to leave and the she turned around and said, "Tyson's match is right now." Then she left. I quickly changed clothes and put my armor on, making sure that riptide was in my pocket. Then I started running towards the arena, almost knocking the door of its hinges as I left.

I kept running until I got to the Arena. "Percy" I turned around to see Thalia right behind me.

"Hello Thalia." I said, "What are you doing at camp?"

"I have been at camp for like a week. I thought Annabeth was exaggerating when she said… Oh never mind." She smiled. "Lets go watch." We walked up to the stands just to find Nico already sitting there.

"Hello." He said.

"Hey dead boy." Thalia said.

"Hey, Nico." I said. "So when are the next couple matches?"

"Uh Tyson just beet whoever it was… Annabeth is facing that Hephaestus kid… Thalia you have to face Grover next. That's about it." for now he said.

Annabeth's POV

The kid, Andy, was pretty good and if he was facing a regular camper I was sure he would have won. But I'm no regular camper either.

I put on my invisibility cap and snuck around him. Andy was randomly making sword slashes everywhere and it took me a couple of minute to figure out and predict were he was swinging.

I hopped behind him and pulled my knife around his neck. I took off my invisibility cap and he almost fell over out of shock. "Isn't that cheating?" he asked

"No." I answered and walked out of the stage part of the amphitheater were the fighting was held. "Who's facing Thalia?" I asked Percy.

"Grover." He said glumly. I did the thing I normally would do if I saw this kind of face off. I closed my eyes.

Thalia POV

"Oh my Gods." I said I had to face Grover. I decided I would have to defeat him because there is no way I'm going to let Eagle win the tournament, witch he could probably do if he managed to defeat Sami and Grover.

"Grover walked onto the stage and was about to say 'I surrender' when Chiron galloped up to the stage and said, "Being a satyr Grover can surrender if he wants to." he said.

"Ok, I surrender" he said and hopped off the stage as fast as he possibly could.

I made a mental note to say sorry to Grover later and I hopped off the stage to see the funniest part of the tournament. I went to sit by Nico because this was the match I couldn't possibly miss.

I should be able to get a third update today. So guess what the mystery match is.
