AN: PEOPLE, HOW MANY MORE TIMES DO I NEED TO SAY THIS?! I DO NOT OWN MR, TWILIGHT, OR PJO!!!

Percy's POV

There are several different types of dodge ball. There's elementary school dodge ball, where people basically throw balls around and you could walk away before they hit you. Next there's nation ball, which is usually junior high to high school level. It can get dangerous, lots of bruises, and maybe broken bones, but only if you're clumsy and trip over something or someone.

Then there's Camp Half-Blood dodge ball.

When campers say they're going to play dodge ball, it basically means we're going to split up into teams and through stuff at each other, as hard as we can. Anything and everything is fair game. I've seen people throw rocks, javelins, and I've even seen some people throw spears. Basically, it is one of the most fierce, violent, deadly, and fun games you will ever hopefully not have to see.

This time, we had the campers on one side, with the Cullens, both packs (they still creep me out) and the Flock on the other side. Hopefully we didn't have too many deaths. The Titan army was probably still following us, and we needed everyone we could get.

We didn't have much else we could do, though. Thalia needed Lady Artemis's permission to go on the quest, and until then, we might as well enjoy ourselves a bit.

The river served as our boundary line. There was at least fifty feet on either side before we had to run into something, so we were pretty safe from destroying something.

"Ready?" I asked Annabeth. She had a pile of javelins at her feet.

"You bet." She noticed I wasn't holding anything. "What are you going to be using?"

I grinned. "You'll see."

Aphrodite's children stood on either side of the river.

"All right!" Silena yelled. Usually it was Chiron's job to announce the beginning of games, but since Chiron wasn't here, Silena got the job. "You may use any and everything! No intentional maiming or deaths! On the whistle!"

One of her siblings blew a whistle.

It immediately became chaos. Stuff was flying everywhere. I saw campers knocked off their feet. The Flock and the vampires had an advantage. If the packs wanted to stay in their wolf form, they were faster, but couldn't throw, so they had a slight disadvantage.

I noticed we were getting beat pretty badly, so I decided to start doing something besides dodging the baseballs Emmet was trying to kill me with.

I concentrated on bringing a small quantity of water to my palm. I made it into a sphere about a half a foot across. I brought my arm back and chucked it as hard as I could across the river. It flew across the makeshift courts and hit Alice in the back of the head.

Alice whipped around and glared at me. If you've never had a vampire glare at you, you are so lucky. She picked up a baseball and threw it at me faster than I could have believed possible. This is one of those times I like having ADHD. I was able to flatten myself to the ground, and it sailed over my head. Jasper pointed out to her that technically she was now out and she had to sit out the rest of the game. She walked off the field, looking resigned.

I tried again. This time I aimed up high and hit Fang. Max was laughing so hard at him as he flew off the field, she didn't realize that I was aiming a water ball at her until it hit her in the face.

By now most of the other team realized that I was slowly starting to destroy their team. That was when Thalia decided to help me.

However, as she started to pull out her spear, a single silver arrow pierced the ground at her feet. She froze, then bent over and picked up. She looked at the shaft, then grinned.

"What?" I said. The game had completely frozen, and everyone was staring at her.

"The hunters are early." She showed me the arrow and I realized there was writing written on it. I couldn't read it, not just because of my dyslexia, but because it wasn't written it in English or any form of Ancient Greek that I knew.

"I thought you said they wouldn't be here for a week!" Annabeth said.

"We found our prey weaker than we thought," said a familiar voice behind us, in the forest. We all spun around, except for Thalia, who just laughed.

Max's POV

"My lady," Thalia said to the twelve year old in front, "Your hunt was successful?"

"Of course, Thalia." I was trying to figure out why Thalia, who looked about fifteen or sixteen, was so respectful to a twelve year old, and how a bow was now slung over her shoulder. "I believe you need to speak with me?"

"Yes. A quest has been set up to rescue Chiron from Mt. Tam."

"You have my permission. The remaining Hunters and I will wait here for your return. I feel we will be needed."

"Tent Eight has been put up."

"Good." She turned around and the Hunters followed her to where the strange tents were set up. I released a little too late that must be the goddess of the Hunt, Artemis. Well, how many people expected the goddess of the Hunt to be a twelve year old? Huh? That's what I thought.

I noticed that everyone else was going back to the house. I motioned to the Flock and we followed them into the living room. Inside, the News was doing some kind of special report.

"The original eruption was of course the strongest. However, the eruptions have been intensifying. It will probably only be a matter of time until we see another explosion equal to the one last summer," some expert was saying. The camera went back to the newscaster.

"Thank you Professor Kirk. Live from Mt. Saint Helens, Washington, this is Maria. Back to the studio."

"You know, it's strange how suddenly it erupted. No warning, no earthquake, nothing," Carlisle said.

"I know. We had just moved here, and we almost had to move again," Bella was saying.

Percy and Annabeth were very carefully not looking at each other. I was wondering if they knew something when Edward and Angel spoke at the same time:

"You blew up Mt. Saint Helens?" they both said, speaking very slowly and looking at Percy. Percy and Annabeth were both very red, but I couldn't figure out why Annabeth would blush, it was obvious that Percy had caused the explosion, since Angel and Edward were both staring at him.

"It wasn't on purpose!" Percy said. How do you accidently blow up a volcano? "I was about to be killed by dog-faced sea-lion people!"

Right, because that happens to me every day, too.

AN: Yes, Percy's description of the telekhines is from BOTL. I don't own that either. READ THE FIRST AUTHOR'S NOTE PEOPLE!!!!!
