Hey guys! I don't have any homework this weekend, so I decided to update because I didn't last Wednesday. And thank you to whoever told me about the error with my uploading on the last chapter, you were a guest so I can't thank you ery well but you know who you are. So please tell me what I'm doing wrong here because I am not getting many followers, favorites, or reviews. So, thank you guys for reading the A/N and lets go to the story! -E.H.
I smiled all the way to the Big House thinking about what Drew had said. She had to challenge me in order to look brave in front of all of the other kids here so that she could cheat or something but I really couldn't care less. If she kills or maimes me, at least I will go down with a fight and a reason for it. I cannot believe what trouble she is getting herself into.
"Piper, where is Drew?" Chiron said as he stood up, probably because of my cabinmates and their big mouths.
I chose to be bold on this one. "Choosing the weapons for our duel. Right now. Are you going to watch? I really don't want to do this if you don't. And I can wait for you but I don't think that Drew can," I say with a smirk on my face as I see the look on his.
"What? Why are you dueling? Please Piper, have some sense! Why would you challenge her if you are already the leader of your cabin?"
I almost laughed. Almost. But I somehow managed to say, "I was really fed up with her and her little ' I'm better than everyone else' attitude," I mimicked with a high-pitched voice, "And to my surprise, she said yes. But I have a feeling that she wants to be the hero of Cabin 10. She said that I didn't realize the bigger battle and that once she won, she and the rest of the cabin would disown me, Lacy, and Mitchell. We would then be members of Cabin 11."
Chiron sighed. "Then I guess we have a duel. Piper McLean versus Drew Tanaka. In the arena immediately. But I would like to see Annabeth Chase of Cabin 6, Jason of Cabin 1, and Leo Valdez of Cabin 9. Thank you." Annabeth, Jason, and Leo all ran up to Chiron and they motioned me over.
"Piper," Jason said, "Drew will choose a long weapon for herself and a short one for you, if she's smart. So lower your center of gravity, and try to know her weapon out of her reach. Then, pin her down. Chiron, anything to add?"
"Yes. Piper, when she said that you didn't understand what was happening, did her tone sound anything like Medea's? Maybe that is why she made everyone else leave. Jason, Annabeth, Leo, and I will talk this over during your match," Chiron said wearily. "And be careful, do not let Drew be in charge of Cabin 10 again."
"Now that you mention it, her voice was in a similar tone as Medea's. And thanks, Jason. I need to go, talk to you after the match." I said while smiling gratefully at Jason. Then I ran off in the direction of the arena.
So...? What do you think? Hate it, like it, love it? Please tell me what you think! -E.H.
