Dark looked around and saw Percy sitting in the stands with his arm wrapped around Annabeth. "Well Chiron it seems to me like Percy got himself a girlfriend to spend time with, so he won't be participating." Chiron looks over to the new couple. "Well may the gods look over you Clarisse doesn't like to lose, nor has she lost a round yet." Dark runs to his cabin and put on his pads and gloves. He walks out in a red shirt with elbow pads, a flexible pair blue jeans and normal tennis shoes, and his gloves are blue gloves cut so his fingers still are sticking out. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 19.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Freestyle Script';"He makes his way back to the tower and sees he is right in time. He watches how the tower challenge works for a few minuets and jumps in, he pulls a pole and it make Clarisse drop from almost to the top to half way. Clarisse pulls the pole Dark was standing on but instead of dropping he swung to another pole as he felt it move. Annabeth saw that and was amazed. "Hey, Percy, look at that Clarisse might just lose this time" Percy looks at Dark and then at Clarisse. "He might just do it." Percy kisses Annabeth`s head which causes Annabeth to blush and hug him tighter. Both look at each other and talk in unison. "I love this." The two doing this caused both to blush. As the couple looked at each other Chiron announced there was a winner. "Today is the day a new champion rises from the bottom. An underdog has become the new champion and has managed to beat Clarisse La Rue. The winner of today's challenge is Dark Iera, the son of Poseidon. Percy breaks his stare at Annabeth and looks at Chiron. "Did he just say son of Poseidon?" Annabeth hugs Percy, "I think so."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 19.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Freestyle Script';"Percy has no clue how to react to this. Clarisse is livid at the fact she lost to Dark a new demi-god at that. "I challenge Dark to a sword duel, first one to disarm the other wins." Percy gets up and goes to Clarisse. "Clarisse don't do that, he hasn't had the sword training you have, plus you are the daughter of Ares the God of War." Clarisse looks at Percy with a glare. "Its him or you do you chose to take the place of Dark in a duel against me?" Percy glares right back at her. "You know what yeah I do, I`m done being bullied by you, if I win you have to stop bulling anyone at this camp."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 19.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Freestyle Script';"Clarisse has a sword brought to her from one of her brothers, while Percy gets riptide out, Dark goes over to Annabeth and sits next to her. "So, Annabeth you are dating my brother aye?" Annabeth blushes at this question. "Yeah he asked me out this morning in the nursery. I took him to his cabin when we got back but he had a fever, so I took him to the nursery". Annabeth looked at Percy and Clarisse to see Clarisse has a small nip on her hand and Percy`s shoulder is bleeding. Annabeth didn't like the sight of that, but she also saw Clarisse was bleeding as well, she started wondering if Percy had been training, no stop she didn't wonder if he has been Annabeth knew Percy had been training the only question is who could train him to land a hit on Clarisse./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 19.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Freestyle Script';"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAs she was trying to figure that out, she saw Clarisse cut Percy on his arm and her arm dropped which was now covered in blood she went to swing again but Percy had swung again. His blade meeting hers he had just enough strength with his swing to knock both swords out of their hands and neither one could catch the sword so neither one won. Dark felt bad about causing both to get hurt, after all the fight was about him. He ran over, and hugged Percy then went over to Clarisse and took off his shirt so now he was in a tank-top and started shredding it to wraps. "Dark what are you doing?" Clarisse asked really confused./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 19.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Freestyle Script';""Clarisse shut up you are hurt and its not like you are going to treat your injuries." Dark wrapped her wounds with the shreds of his shirt, after treating the bleeding he made a sling for her arm sense it was weak due to her wounds. "Why are you so nice to me I tried to fight you." Dark looks at her almost as if he is disappointed in her. "Clarisse you really do not get it do you?" She opened her mouth to speak was cut off by Dark. "Clarisse you may put on this mirage that you are all big and bad but all you have shown me so far is that on the inside you are nothing but scared. Scared of being bullied by others so you decide to bully others. Anyone in this camp who is not afraid of you could easily go toe to toe with you. The sad thing is you would be attractive if you weren't so mean./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 19.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Freestyle Script';"" Dark walked off and went to Clair who had been waiting to congratulate him on winning the tower challenge. Percy was shocked to say the least that he just said Clarisse would be attractive. He walked over to Annabeth and kissed her forehead, when Chiron called out "Percy Jackson report to the big house." Percy was confused but went over there and Annabeth helped Clarisse up off the floor. Chiron told Percy there was a God who whished to speak to him. Ares the god of war saw Percy and yelled "Percy I need to talk to you."/span/p
