Chapter 4

At Jason's Cabin

Giving the Hunter's back their arrows wasn't easy.

Thalia had to go through everything in the middle of the floor in Jason's cabin and find everyone's bows and arrows. Jason didn't see why they didn't do this in their cabin. Hefty, who is actually named Karly, stood in front of the doors so Travis and Conner couldn't sneak out.

Travis's phone buzzed.

He yanked it out and saw a text from Xavier.

Hey man, your sister's mean. To Brian, I mean. I got here 1st and told her. She said a couple of words I don't want to repeat about Clarisse and Brian. U still up 4 2nite?

-Xavier

Travis's fingers flew faster than Hermes himself.

YES!

Xavier didn't answer. Travis gripped his phone tight as he thought about Clarisse and Brian.

"You ok?" Jason asked.

Travis nodded and put his phone up. "Bad day," he lied.

Where Jordan was

"You know," Xavier said, propped up against a tree, "Chiron's going to get suspicious if

the three of us aren't out there, since we were late for breakfast, and all. Maybe you two should head back. I'll watch her."

Clarisse thought for a second. "Good thinking, Xavier. Come on, Brian."

Brian got up from the tree stump and followed Clarisse out. Passing Jordan, he slapped her in the back of the head.

"Have fun," he hissed.

He chuckled and walked out. Making sure they were gone, Xavier looked around before taking the duct tape off of Jordan's mouth.

(I forgot to explain what Xavier looked like, so here I go)

Xavier was a 16 year old that was buff. He somewhat reminded everyone of Beckendorf, but they never said it out loud. Being the child of Ares, everyone excepted him to want to smash everything he saw, but that was the exact opposite. He was actually very gentle, nice, and smart. Him and Frank were the smartest in the Ares cabin ever since the Roman's and Greek's moved in together.

"I didn't know it would go this far," Xavier whispered.

"Why'd you go with them anyways?" Jordan challenged.

He untied her hands. "They convinced me. I really just thought we were going to mess with your brothers or play a prank on the Hermes cabin –"

Jordan laughed. "I wouldn't try it."

He rolled his eyes. "Anyways, I didn't think we were going to kidnap you. I texted your brother. They're coming at midnight."

"Can you tell them something?" Jordan asked as he undid her legs.

"What?" he asked, frustrated with how much tape Brian taped them with.

"Quick question: do you want to help?"

Xavier looked up. "With what?"

"The prank of the night, of course!"

Midnight

Only Jordan would want to prank someone after getting kidnapped. Even worse? It's with the one who helped kidnap her.

Travis and Conner snuck in the woods with four black backpacks. Conner carried two back packs and two black jackets. He'd been waiting to prank the Aphrodite's, but he didn't want to be used as a pack mule, either. As they got to Zeus's Fist, they saw Xavier flagging them over. Conner and Travis sprinted over there, not touching the ground it seemed.

They found Jordan sitting on the ground, fiddling with a stick. She looked over and saw them. She hopped up and grabbed a jacket.

"Let's go!" she said, grinning ear to ear.

Conner handed Xavier his jacket and bag. "I didn't know what size, so I just grabbed a random one."

Xavier looked at the tag. "You got an Extra Small."

"Why do I have an Extra Large?" Jordan asked.

Xavier and her switched. Jordan looked at it and saw a pink butterfly on the back. She held up the jacket and looked at Conner. "This is pay back for tell Katie Gardner you liked her, isn't it?"

"I got it out of Savannah's closet! Give me a break! It was dark!"

Jordan looked at the jacket and threw it in the trees. "I'm doing her a favor."

She grabbed the backpack and the four snuck in the Aphrodite cabin. Conner motioned for Xavier to go in the bathoom and grab everything. Jordan went to the dresser. Travis went in the closet and Conner went in the trunks.

Jordan grabbed everything and silently put the stuff in her bag. Conner looked up and saw Piper's grafitti looking name on her trunk. Her's was black and her name looked like something you see on the side of abandoned buildings. It was actually the best trunk. Conner passed it. Piper helped them out. He grabbed Drew's clothes and stuff.

Travis dropped a hanger. Drew, with her eye cover on, sat up.

CODE RED!

Conner rolled under one bed and Jordan dived under another. Good thing Drew had a top bunk. Travis got in the closet and Xavier closed the bathroom door. She lifted it up, looked around half asleep, then crashed back down. She began snoring.

Jordan and Conner rolled out, Travis came out of the closet, and Xavier opened the door back up. They shot Travis a look and continued.

Xavier grabbed all of the make up. It was the heaviest backpack he'd ever lifted. He opened the closet in there and shelves of make up. His mouth dropped. He opened the bag and on the bottom of the make up had Drew. He looked at the hamper. He dumped it out in the bath tub and put the backpack and the make up cases in there.

He stuck his head out and motioned for Travis, who was just finished one-third of the closet. Travis came over and smiled. He began throwing clothes in there. He pu the backpack in there and closed it. Xavier tried to pick it up himself, but he couldn't carry it far.

Jordan grabbed Drew's laptop and her cell phone. Conner finished and walked back with clothes over flowing in his arms. Xavier opened the hamper and Conner dropped them in there. Conner grabbed one side, Travis grabbed another, and Xavier grabbed the other. They carried it outside and set it at the bottom of the three steps. Jordan handed them the laptop and cell phone as she pulled out a can of spray paint.

"Which cabin?" she whispered.

"Apollo," Xavier said.

Jordan snuck back in the bed room and spray painted on the wall: APOLLO RULEZ! She drew a laurel wreath on the side then wrote on a sticky note Piper, run.

She laid the note on Piper, put Jason's jacket on her bed, shook her awake, then sprinted out. She watched as Piper read the note, looked around with her jaw dropped, then get down. She put on Jason's hoodie, put on her flip flops, then headed for the door. Xavier, Conner, Travis, and Jordan hid beside the cabin. Piper walked to the pavilion.

They carried the stuff to the hermes cabin and soon, all three Stoll's were asleep and Xavier was in the woods, dreading what Clarisse would say in the morning.
