Hey guys!
I thought that since these next few chapters are for truth or dare, that I'd change the point of view every time someone gets picked so you can see there reaction inside their heads.
I don't have much to say, besides the fact that I can barely see because I went to the eye doctor today, and the doctor put drops in my eyes, which blurred my vision. So, just warning you all, there might be some mistakes.
AND SEND MORE DARES AND TRUTHS! I need them :D

Chapter 10:
Alex:
"I am seriously going to kill whoever did this to me," I mutter as I'm lying down on my bed. Some genius from the Hermes cabin decided it would be a great idea to die me orange. How? I don't know. I got out of the shower, and put my towel on, and the next time I know, I'm bright orange. It looks like I got a horrible spray tan.
A black shadow appears on the floor, and I instantly freak out. What if it's a hellhound that wants to kill me? I take the knife, called Secret, that's strapped around my waist out, and point it at the shadow.
This knife was given to me by my mother, when I was just eight. She visited me one day when I was little, behind Zeus's back, obviously. And she taught me some magic. But, she was scared that I'd tell someone and they'd think I was crazy, so she made me promise to keep it a secret and never show anyone until I made it to Camp Half Blood.
A boy, around my age, of fourteen, appears whose dyed hot pink. "This isn't the Hermes cabin!" he exclaims, after looking around, and then his eyes rest on me. "Who are you, and what cabin is this?"
"I'm Alexis Frontirgo," I introduce, "but most people call me Alex. Oh, and this is the Hecate cabin."
"Nico di Angelo." He replies. "I see the Hermes cabin pranked you too."
"They pranked everyone," I inform him.
"I know," Nico says, "but some people didn't shower, so they didn't get pranked."
"But why are you going to the Hermes cabin? To give them the satisfaction of seeing you all pink?" I ask him.
"No," he shakes his head. "I'm going because they planned this mass game of truth or dare."
"Hey!" I pout. "Why wasn't I invited?"
"Everyone's invited," Nico tells me. "It's a mass game." He repeats.
"Cool! I so want to go!" I cheer.
"Then let's go," he instructs me, "just take touch part of me and tell me when you're ready."
"Alright…" I say awkwardly. "I go over and grab onto his arm. "I'm ready?"
"Good," he responds, before darkness overwhelms us.
It was probably the most frightening experience of my life.
Ember:
Bam! I fall to the ground. "Watch where you're going!" I snap.
"Sorry," the person who rammed into me apologizes. "I'm just in a rush to get to the Hermes cabin…"
"Aren't we all?" I question as I get up and finally get a good look at him. He has dark black hair, and dark blue eyes. He's tan, and dressed in blue and yellow, looks about my age, and he's pretty cute. But, I'd never admit that.
"Wait a second…" I say. "If you're not dyed a color, why are you going to the Hermes cabin?"
"To play truth or dare," he replies. "They sent out this massive invite!"
"How come I wasn't invited?" I demand.
"Maybe they think you're threatening?" he smirks.
"I'm not threatening!" I feel anger rising through my body.
"Yeah you are," he replies.
"No, I'm NOT!" I scream, releasing a flame from my hand and throwing it down on the ground, causing a small fire.
"Calm down, child of Hephaestus," the kid orders. "Gods, it's a joke."
"Ember Palo," I tell him. "And you are?"
"Colton Andrews," he introduces. "Son of Nyx."
"So do you possess weird powers at night?" I ask him.
"I possess 'weird powers' all the time. There just stronger at night." He informs me.
"Like what?"
"I can cause extreme darkness and light, sometimes I can change dreams and put people to sleep, I can travel through mist and shadows, my kiss kills mortal people, and I can hypnotize people with the sound of my voice and by looking in their eyes." Colton tells me. "But I don't like to do a lot of those."
"Why?" I raise an eyebrow at him. "They seem pretty cool to me."
"They mostly harm people," he replies. "I'm not that kind of person. But, it seems to me that you are."
"What?" I gasp. "I wouldn't hurt anyone!"
"What about that Adam kid? You made him drink that potion!" Colton reminds me.
"How did you hear of that if you didn't even know me?" I demand.
"Word gets around camp," he shrugs. "Even to the dark cabin of Nyx."
"Whatever," I cross my arms. "Let's just go to the Hermes cabin to play truth or dare."
"Who said you can come with me?" he smirks.
"My flame covered hand burning your flesh off," I smile fakely at him. "Is that a good answer?"
He nods nervously and I laugh as we make our way to the Hermes cabin.
Adam:
"This is stupid!" I exclaim. "Who even likes this game?"
"I do!" Ryan calls out. We're sitting in on the couches in the Hermes cabin waiting to play the worst game ever.
"The Hunters play this game when they're bored," I inform him. "And they're stupid and annoying. How does that make you feel?"
"A lot better, actually." He smirks. "Because I am both stupid and annoying, too."
"I will vouch for that," Juliet laughs, but then immediately stops. I think there's something going on between them, maybe they had a fight? Because they've been ignoring each other since I got her a few minutes ago.
"How long to potions usually last for?" I change the subject. "There's got to be one child of Hecate in this room.
"I told you already!" that girl, Alex, who was with me in the infirmary. "It depends."
"But when Artemis gets back here in a few days and finds out that my archery sucks, she's going to freak out!" I exclaim.
"Wow," Riona smiles. "That will suck… for you."
"I hate you so much," I inform her. "This whole thing is all your fault."
"How?" she demands. "I didn't start the fight!"
"Well, I didn't!"
"Yes you did! You just had to bring up my father…" she starts.
"YOU'RE LUCKY YOU EVEN HAVE A FATHER!" I fume. "MY DAD SACROFISED HIMSELF TO SAVE ME! AND ALL YOU DO IS GO AROUND AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW YOU'RE LIFE SUCKS BECAUSE HE DOESN'T CARE FOR YOU! WANT TO KNOW WHAT I SAY TO THAT?"
"No!" she snaps. "I don't care about you, or your father! I'm sorry you lost him, but that doesn't mean you can take it out on me."
"And you shouldn't brag about your father when other people are around!"
"I do not brag about my father!" she defends. "You just think I do because you're demented!"
"SHUT UP!" Ryan and Juliet scream at the same time. It was definitely unintentional, because Juliet is glaring at Ryan.
"Can we just start the game already? No one cares about your fighting." He informs us. "And if fighting means to much to you, go outside and continue it. We invited you guys here to have fun, not to start a screaming match!"
"Yeah," Riona sighs. "Let's just start."
"I call being first!" Ryan calls, and then he looks around, and then he stops on Juliet. "Juliet, truth or dare?"
"Dare." She says without thinking, which is a pretty bad idea. Never accept a dare from the Hermes cabin. They'll make sure your embarrassed.
"I dare you to tell me what you were thinking when I kissed you, and whether you liked it or not."
"That's not how the game goes," she replies. "That's a truth."
"Nope," he smirks. "I dared you to tell me. Unless your too scared…"
"I'm not scared of anything," she challenges, "except for maybe ducks, but that's beside the point…"
Ryan rolls his eyes. "Whatever! Just answer the question! Did you or did you not like it?"
