A/N: Ok quick authors note! Oh who am I kidding... Besides me does anyone actually read authors notes?

Please review!


Aislin's POV.

I watched silently near the creek where I was sitting with Chiron and Mr. D. Every once in I while I would see a kid run across the creek, or stop and fight their pursuers. I wasn't really surprised to see that they used real swords and such. After seeing the armory where the weapons were made, I figured they must be used sometime. I watched for almost an hour but didn't see much of what happened. I would have to get my friends to tell me the details later. About 45 minutes into the game I heard the sound of voices in the distance. I looked over at Mr. D and Chiron. They were in the middle of a heated discussion about a card game, pinochle I think. They wouldn't miss me. I stood up and went behind the chairs to the big tree behind us. I quickly climbed it and sat in one of the upper branches to see what was happening. To the left of me, I saw Tiffany and Emma fighting against four guys, two of which looked remarkably similar. Tiffany was down on the ground with her spear and sword, and Emma was up a tree sniping them with blunt tipped arrows so they wouldn't die accidentally. I stifled a laugh when two Demeter kids stepped out of the shadows and made a huge plant sprout up and wrap around the red team fighters. Tiffany was REALLY good with her sword and finished off two of the guys in under 5 minutes. Emma was kinda hard to see in the tree but I could see her arrows raining down on them. I looked towards the north and saw a huge pile of rocks with a bunch of kids surrounding it. It looked like most of them were protecting the flag at the top, but at least two groups were fighting people from the other team. I saw the boy from the infirmary fighting back to back with a guy with blond hair. They were trying to keep three red team members from reaching the flag. As I was watching them fight, I heard yelling to the west.

"GET HER! DON'T LET HER CROSS THE BORDER IDIOTS!"

I turned to look and saw something that made me almost fall out of the tree. Annabella was sprinting like a cheetah through enemy lines carrying a big square of red cloth. THE FLAG! Annabella had it! If she could get to the creek borderline then she would win the game! I laughed out loud when a guy tried to stab her. She grabbed his wrist and shocked him. He fell to the ground twitching and no one moved. Bells smirked and just walked through the enemy territory at a leisurely pace. She knew no one would cross her now and she was rubbing it in. I laughed until it seemed like I would never stop. Until I heard someone clear their throat underneath me. Crud... Chiron had apparently noticed I was missing. I climbed down the tree sighing softly. When I reached the ground he gently scolded me, "we were worried sick, you could've been eaten", blah, blah, blah; but I could tell that he was smiling. He was amused at the game as well. I laughed quietly to myself. Knowing Bells, she was already across the border. when I sat in the chair I found out I was right. The game was in fact over and the blue team had won.


The next day was Saturday and Tiffany was supposed to teach canoeing. I knew this because she asked me to do it for her! I told her I had no earthly idea how to work the thing and that she would rue the day I taught for her! She laughed and went to ask Bells. I wondered what she was smirking about when she got back, but decided not to think about it. I had archery class and with my luck the teachers would be dead by the end. 45 minutes later class was over. I was amazed to find out that I was actually decent at archery. I mean, I wasn't anywhere near being as good as the Apollo kids who were teaching, but I didn't kill anyone! After stowing the bow I was given in a small shed, I walked away towards where I was told the lake was. I was tired and I wanted to share my achievement with Bells. About half way there, I ran into Emma. Literally... I ran into her. After she helped me up she said something but it was too fast to make out.

"Emma breathe! Now please repeat that. SLOWLY. My gods, you're acting like Bells was killing someone."

She grinned " No not killing someone. I said; oh my gods Aislin you HAVE to see this! Bella is holding hands. With JACOB ROYSTON!" She said excitedly.

"Wait... WHAT?! When on earth did this happen?! She HATES him! She said if she ever saw him again she would shock him so badly he'd not be able to move for a year!"

Seriously. If those two started to get along it meant Armageddon was bound to happen in the next 24 hours... As Emma and I walked to the lake she filled me in on what had happened. According to her, Tiffany had planned it with the Aphrodite cabin. She was to work today with Jacob. Apparently the other counselors helped with different jobs. Tiffany asked Bella to work knowing full well that Jacob was to be working today. When Bells got there she had a huge argument with the guy and pushed him off the dock into the water. All would've been well, except he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down with him. After much yelling, swearing, and several failed attempts to kill the other person, they got back on the docks and started laughing. They didn't know why but they couldn't stop. Then the whole mushiness factor set in and he asked her out. Now they like each other. Emma asked if I had any questions, as if she was an elementary school teacher.

"I only have one question," I responded.

"What the bloody Hades happened to her!?
