"Alright, so group one will go down the river here…" Annabeth said, pointing to a diagram heavily colored on with lines and arrows." To ambush them while the archers will attack from the tree tops."Annabeth said lecturing everyone about the plan.

"Group three will stay and guard the flag. OK? Everyone has the plan down to memory?"

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!" everyone yelled, some trusting their spears in the air.

"OK then! Listen up for your group number Group number one is: Jeff Chanler , Kendal Nolan….. She continued listing names, Percy was in group 1, the main attack position.

"Group three is:

-Holly swift

-Katy Lossi

-Amelia Lossi

-Lucas Perry

-Isabelle-IZZY!- Knight

-Alex Salisbury

-Shannon Mass and

-Nico di Angelo " Annabeth said, and continued to group 4.

I thought, what kind of messed up group is this?! We have the five year old, the six year old, me, the lazy kid, my best friend (no complaints there!), the kid who hates paper, will-not-pick-something-up-if-it-has-even-a-speck-of-dirt–on-it girl, and the boy who thinks I am his dead sister. Yep. I have high hope for this group.

"Alright! Everyone have their gear and weapons?" Annabeth called.

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Everyone replied, everyone but Katy anyway. They didn't have armor in her size. Or weapons.

"What kid made up that list?!" I said to Izzy as everyone started to find their groups. Katy was trying not to find her group (she was trying to run away to wherever)

"Seriously! At least Katy has holly to keep her company. They met when our cabins practiced sword fighting together. She is in the Apollo cabin in case you didn't know. It was adorable when they gave them both wooden swords- dulled of course!-and watched them go at it."

"Was it?"

"Yah. Like, I would pay money to go see that mush cuteness,"

" Is Holly…." I started. It would make sense, Apollo being the god of music, but it seemed impossible. Cristina said yestererday that Tylor was a daughter of Apollo.

"The daughter of Taylor Swift? Yah. You know how when she released her album 1989 she didn't make a lot of music videos? She was in labor. Yep. And her song "Wildest dreams" was about him." Izzy said.

'wow." I said. I was a huge Taylor Swift fan. (No hating please)

A little girl with blonde curly hair ran over and hugged Katy, and they immediately started talking about my little pony. Holly was dressed in miniature battle armor, and Katy dressed in a tutu and tank top. Seemed like an odd combination. Shannen was the next to show up she was wearing only mismatched leather armor covered in swirls. When Izzy asked why the heck she was only wearing that, she said she didn't want get sweaty. If I didn't know better, I would of thought Shannen was the Aphrodite kid. Then Alex showed up and all tartarus broke loose.

"WHY IS YOUR ARMOR LIKE THAT?!" Alex yelled at Shannen.

"Uhhh….because I can?"

"Uh, no you can't. It's not standard protocol, so go back to your prissy cabin and put the rest of your armor on."

"Excuse me? I said "did you just call your own cabin prissy?" I said, getting defensive

"No way. I'm calling your cabin prissy. I am embarrassed to be related to her."

"Let me at him." Shannen said and walked forward, but Izzy held her back, so she shot at him with venom in her voice

"What are we, two? You're going to tell on me? We are about to go once Nico and that other kid gets here."

This continued for a while, Shannen calling him a baby and such and Alex calling her a jerk and a rule breaker (*gasp* what a horrible thing!)

Nico slowly appeared as the last of the kids were finding their groups and marching into the woods. He caught m eye, than quickly looked away.

"WHAT ON OLYMPUS WAS THAT FOR?!" Shannen yelled, clutching her bleeding cheek with both hands. Alex stood there wide eyed, knife in hand. He must of slashed her with it, and he was acting as if the knife had a mind of its own. Nico stepped forward, but Izzy stopped him.

"I'll handle it." She said to him, just then Alex must have moved to close to her, because Shannen lashed out with a kick. Then Alex just went insane. He threw izzs arm aside and pounced on Shanne. He tore, ripped, punched every inch of skin he could reach. Soon both of them were on top of each other, rolling in a barrage of kicking and fists flying. It took Nico, Izzy, two Apollo kids, one Ares kid, a Demeter kid and I to tear them apart. Alex was going to have a black eye and Shannen had a chipped tooth.

"What happened?" Annabeth said, running over to us out of nowhere, ice pack in hand. When she tried to hand it to him, he threw it right back at her, and it hit Annabeth in the cheek, leaving the faintest of cuts. She had a knife to his throat in seconds.

"Don' . .again." she said, and withdrew. Alex nodded franticly.

"Get those two out of here. They are not fit to play the war games." she said, disgusted.

"But that means we will only have a six year old, a five year old, me, a Hecate kid with no armor or weapon! No offence." Izzy said.

"None taken."

'You have Nico to."

"Oh yah. And Nico." Izzy said.

" I can't switch over anyone now, and wait….where is Lucas?"

"I-…don't know."

"he never showed up for the meeting."

Then a horn blew that signalized the beginning of the games.

"Just go secure the flag without him!" Annabeth called over her shoulder as she ran towards the woods.

"I have to lead group 2, I have to go!"

"Ok!" Izzy called to her retreating figure." Let's go." She said to us unenthusiastically.
