zoe pov

i felt so bad for everyone, but i looked to the heavens and said this to my mother "are you happy, i broke his heart, and saved them for now" but of course, no response. we quickly vanished from the woods and ended up in a place my sister had showed me. It looked like any dog fighting ring. White floors, covered in dirt, blood, and stuff i dont want to name. I hated these places. it reminded me of irresponsible animal hoarders and abusive owners. I dont want to mention names, not like the famous football player (a/n Michael Vick, hopefully he doesn't kill me for that). My brother looked depressed, even though dogs dont show pain, he did alot. it looked like the place in my dreams, then i realized the three godly twins are my brothers keeper. great. then before i knew it Phantasos grabbed us by our necks and tossed us in this cramped cage. They were made of chain link fences, and they were probably thousands of years old thats been collecting blood and alot of stuff i did not want to know. all around us was dogs of all shapes and sizes. some looked more fierce than others and some looked immenent to die. i couldn't believe what was happening. i looked closer and saw that they were wearing necklaces with symbols on them. There was an child of Athena, Zeus, aphrodite, Apollo, Hephaestus, and Hermes, some i couldn't make out but they were definatley half bloods I didn't feel to good so i fell asleep as soon as my head touched the ground.

i awoke to keith trying to get me up.

"get up, get up, hes coming" he whispered, with some quiver in his voice. i raised my head up. he sighed. since it was morning, i could clearly see all his wounds. two fresh wounds on either side of his front leg, while the open wound from yesterday, was starting to heal. i looked closer and saw that there was scars along his back and face and every visible part that i could see. how did he get those.

"Thousands of fights..." he said as if he read my mind. He got up, slowly but painfully and tried to get me up by cleaning my wounds on my back." you got pretty banged up out there, i hope you dont have to go into a fight today, you still need to heal" he said

"lets see, lets impress our boss with you my darling." Phantasos said as went up to the cage and opened it with some metal chains.

"spoke to soon..." keith said in my head. Phantasos put a heavy chain on my neck which made me almost fall down. Keith growled at him. phantasos smirked and brought out a whip with a knife attached to the end. keith flinched and stepped back as if he was afraid of that.

"hmphh, so little fellow, you can watch your sister die today." he said, and keith was about to growl but remebered the whip was in his hand. Phantasos put the whip in his robe and put another heavy chain on my brother. he staggered but kept his balance. He practically dragged us torward the ring and saw that inside the ring, there was stands like a football stadium and was crowded with so many people. Then i realized these were all gods and goddesses. keith looked like he was used to this but i wasn't. before i knew it, keith was struggling agaisnt Morpheus's grip and i was pushed into the ring by Phantasos. i looked at what i was up against and found myself face to face with an ten foot tall giant. I finally realized who it was, one of my half brothers, Antaeus.

Michael pov

i couldn't believe what Piper was telling me. it just doesn't add up, why would she leave camp to go with her brother. she said there could be war if they were together, so why did she do it. I couldn't go to dinner, i was still to shocked of what she said. it was a really hard time to fall asleep. but i finally did somehow. in the morning, i did not want to go anywhere, i did not want to see anyone, no one. i finally got up when my sister kayla pinched my arm, hard.

"ouch" i yelled. i looked at her and mouthed why.

"will told me to do dat" she said with an innocent voice, while giving me the puppy-dog face. i saw behind her, will chuckle. i rolled my eyes.

"hey, its better than throwing ice water on your face." he said. i smiled glumly because i still didn't forgive him for the poison arrow thing. he saw what i was doing and left the cabin. Kayla skipped out of the cabin following will. i tried basket ball, and all the sports you could think of, but none of them helped. i couldn't make myself head torwards the archery range, i just couldn't. I'm usually better than this, why did i ever let a girl get through my head. during basketball, i could of sworn i saw Drew and one of the aphrodite girls giggle and make small talk about me. i turned around to see who it was.

"what?" i asked. they ran off. i rolled my eyes and headed to my cabin. maybe music would help me take things off my mind. i brought out my violin, but i remembered that Zoe liked playing with it too. i put it away and brought ou the guitar sndstarted strumming a few cords. i started to play a taylor swift song called "if this was a movie" and i couldn't finish the song, i don't know why. i startde playing other songs like "what hurts the most" by rascal flats and some that i dont recall their names. i got up and put the guitar away and went to change clothes when i heard a loud thud. i looked back but nothing was there. strange. i heard a small ouch an looked again. was i hallucinating again. i opened the door to the bathroom and heard the front door creak open. I closed the bathroom door shut and headed to where the noise came from. it exited the door and followed that thing. it must have been someone because well in this light snow you could see footprints. i concentrated on the oace and dared myself. i jumped up and tackled the thing. i must have looked like a fool to do that but i got curious, as it fell on the ground a hat fell to the gorund and yet appeared was an eighteen year old girl. and guess who it was. annabeth.


Sorry its short, but i have to go to dinner soon, so i'll promise i'll make the next chapter longer. so next chapter pov line up; Annabeth, maybe drew, michael, clarrise or annabeth. So sorry for all pov changes i just like some parts where it should be told from a specific person, and btw, i do not own rascal flats or taylor swifts songs, it is their ownership, so thnx , plz review and read my other story, bye
