Sorry I haven't updated all week, I just started school and its a lot more work than I remembered! Well here's another chapter, please review!

Chapter 11

Clarrisse's PoV

I was sitting along in a jail cell that I suspected was under the arena. I heard some sounds by the door, and noticed some lastrogonians hauling in three people.

"Nice job breaking us out last night." I muttered.

"It's not my fault out cages were built so well." Percy replied.

We continued bickering until I heard Annabeth speak. "Guys."

She pointed to the door and I saw some Cyclopes here that were probably ready to watch us be killed brutally in this arena; like I was going to let that happen.

"It's time for the show. Try not to die too easily we want to entertain out guests." He led us to a ramp. I could hear cheering, and knew we were on our way to the arena. When I saw what was out there I wasn't completely sure we would make it out alive, but I am a daughter of Ares, if I go down I go down fighting.

We were dragged to the center of a sand covered area in the middle of what looked like an indoor coliseum. Monsters filled the stands all around us, and a small stage was set up with a microphone.

"Welcome, all monsters to the museum of monster history! Today I proudly present to you a reenactment of a battle between four demigods, and all challengers!" The crowd roared, and we were greeted with our first challenger. "Now remember this is a battle to the death so don't hold back, and most importantly, have fun!" Honestly they are trying to kill us, but they want us to have fun while dying?

I didn't have time to think as a bronze cannonball whizzed past my head and hit the wall behind me. Thalia shot it with four arrows at a time, and it eventually fell, and turned into golden dust. I thrust my spear through some Dracnae, and moved on to a pack of telekinies. I saw Percy battling with two Cyclopes, Annabeth was by his side trying to help, but I saw one coming up from behind ready to strike.

"Annabeth!" Thalia screamed in an attempt to get her to notice.

She swung behind her and cut its side with her dagger, and escaped with only a small cut on her arm.

It looked like we were going to be fine, that was until they sent a huge wave of monsters. There were Cyclopes, Dracnae, hellhounds, and many more. I frantically stabbed things with my spear, and I saw everyone else working hard to kill the monsters, but we were all struggling. Thalia just couldn't load her bow fast enough so she has decided to use her knife.

After a long hard fight we had finally finished off all the monsters. Golden dust was all over the arena floor, and the monsters in the stands were silent- well as close to silent as you can get with an arena full of monsters.

The Cyclops who must have been the announcer started talking. "We'll, um... these demigods have proven to be better fighters than we had estimated. So, we will have them preform another show tomorrow!" Hearing that seemed to please the crowd because they were getting louder by the second.

By that point we were all standing in a circle facing out towards the crowd. And I'm sure we were all thinking the same thing 'we have to do this again?' Of course the others were probably more worried than I was but I knew every day would be harder than the last.

Sorry it took me a week to update, but I will probably be updating on Sundays from now on because I start dance, conformation, and I will start having homework. I will keep writing though, and I hope you guys will keep reading.
