Oh. My. God. What a summer. Sorry guys I kinda died. Anyways, I'm back now and i'll try to update as much as possible but, I am in High School now and I have a boyfriend and it's a lot of balancing.
This chapter skipped some of the training and stuff and were going right into the interviews, which means next chapter the games will begin :D
Enjoy
Sylvia's POV
The games begin tomorrow and i'm so nervous for my interview tonight with Hermes. Artemis told us not to make allies and just trust each other and Apollo's kids.
Artemis was so proud of us when we did our individual training, Hiba's score was incredibly high. However, we do have quite a competition this year. As Aphrodite is getting us all dressed up in our tribute parade costumes again, they play the scores once more.
"Karina Cloverfield, 10"
"Ixion McDonnel, 10"
"Ella Olmos, 5"
"Niklas Abrahamson, 7"
"Hellen Williams, 8"
"Richerd Sambora, 9"
"Ginevra di Cosimo, 10"

"Adalynn Carter, 9"
"Storm Ryder, 9"
"Leia Serene, 6"
"Kyle Anderson, 9"
"Roshan Davis, 5"
"Valen Woods, 6"
"Sylvia White, 9"
"Hiba Argyris, 11"
"Sawyer Argani, 5"

"Genevieve Hill, 11"
"Trey Smith, 11"

"Maximus Cartwright, 6"

Hiba frowns.
"Theres no way in Hades were going to win this Sylvia." she muttered to me. I shook my head at her.
"Have faith. Artemis is counting on us."
"Well, win or loose, just let everyone know I didn't do this because I wanted too." I smile at her.
Ixion's POV
Me and Karina haven't talked since the incident in the training room not to mention she was beyond pissed at my score. Father was quite upset when he discovered I wasn't joining the Careers but he's still quite proud.
I'm first to have an interview with Hermes and i'm quite nervous. But, at last, showtime begins.
As I walk on stage, i'm immediately blinded and the screaming makes my ears ring. I finally spot Hermes and walk over, he stands and shakes my hand.
"Hello Ixion!" his voice booms into his mic, the crowd goes wild.
"Hello Hermes!" I yell back. The crowd laughs, I see Father in the audience, he smiles and nods his head. Hermes leads me to a chair and I sit. He smiles.
"So, a score of 10, how impressive." The crowd goes nuts once more, I laugh and wink at a couple of girls in the audience.
"Well I am a son of Zeus." Hermes laughed.
"I bet you get tons of ladies just like your father, can you name a few." He winked and the audience laughed, I chuckled.
"Actually, I have a special lady on my mind." The crowd ooed and Hermes looked shocked.
"May we ask who that is?"
"Ginevra, daughter of Demeter." I winked at the audience which went wild. Father's mouth dropped.
"Look at that! Star crossed Lovers everyone! Thank you Ixion! Up next Karina!" As I walk backstage, I see Ginevra's shocked face, I wink and she turns bright red. I feel Karina glare at me as I continue on my way to our room.
Niklas's POV
After Ixion's shocking reveal and Karina's hatred filled interview, it was finally my turn. I remember my father's advice, cool, calm, and flirty.
"Niklas!" Hermes yelled well smiling at me. I winked at some of girls, and nodded at Father.
"Lets get ready down to business shall we, are you in it to win it?" He asked.
"Hell Yeah!" I yelled, the crowd went nuts.
"Great attitude! So let's talk about Ella, are you hear to protect her?" The crowd went silent. I made eye contact with Father and he nodded.
"Oh yes, it's so brave of her to volunteer, but shes oh so young, I hope shes the one who wins." Father smiled and gave me a thumbs up, some people in the audience wiped their tears.
"Thank you Niklas, up next THE SWEETHEART HERSELF, ELLA!"
Ginevra's POV
After Ixion's reveal, Mother rushed up to me and told me to go with it. I felt awful lying like this, but i'll do whatever it takes to win, to see my family again.
As I walked on stage, I was greeted by a standing ovation. I waved to the audience.
"Hello Ginevra." Hermes grabbed my hand and gave it a kiss, I blushed.
"Hello Hermes, I don't think Ixion would like that very much." He laughed and so did the audience.
I sat down in the chairs and everybody went silent.
"So, you and Ixion met on the train for the first time, what happened there?"
"Sparks flew Hermes, he was such a good looking, charmer, I couldn't help to fall for him." The words flew from my mouth with ease.
I don't like Ixion, I can't like Ixion.
"Do you think your going to last in the Games?"
"I hope, and if it's me and Ixion in the finals we promised suicide so we would die together." The crowd awwed. My mother smiled.
"Well good luck my dear. UP NEXT STORM!"
What did I do.
I really hoped you liked this chapter, thanks for reading!
