Cato Lear's P.O.V.

"OK! Who wants to defeat the undefeated champion?!" the host of the fight was holding up high the arm of some son of Ares who was, apparently, undefeated. And, who would doubt it? The guy looks like a younger version of The Rock, highly in steroids. The guy was huge!

"Ain't gonna go up there..." I muttered to myself, shaking the head and taking a step back from the fighting circle. But someone else wanted up.

"I challenge him!" A high-pitched voice announced, making the crowd go wild. Which was strange, considering we shouldn't be here. The crowd made way for... a girl. Only then, the excited screams turned into boos and hissing towards the girl.

She was pretty and, at first sight, she looked delicated, like she was made out of porcelain. Her hair was long and was tied up in a ponytail with a red bandanna. Her skin was slightly tan. She was slim, but her arms, that were exposed thanks to her orange tank top, were so built and ready to punch you. Her eyes blazed anger and fire of power.

"You're gonna be dead meat, sweetie!" the son of Ares screamed at her, smirking because he had a safe victory. The girl walked up front and smirked back at him. That smirk made me check my pockets, I don't know why.

"That's what you'll be after I'm done with you!" she fire back, not losing her smirk. The guy looked surprised, but scowled down at her and went to his corner. The girl smirked again and went to her corner.

Suddenly, I was scared for her. She was gonna end up in the Infirmary for sure, if she wasn't careful. I went back to the front row of the 'arena' and kept close to her.

"What's your name, sweetie?" the host asked the girl, who frowned.

"Not sweetie, for sure" she mocked him "My name is Silena Rodriguez, punk" The host nodded and headed to the center of the arena.

"OK, folks! Our challenger has a name! Silena Rodriguez!" Cue to gasps and murmurs around. Who the Hades was this girl?

"You're gonna be running back to Mommy, sweetie!"

"My Mom is your sister, punk!" Silena retorted at son of Ares. I just was hoping she had her mother's traits... The son of Ares started to pace around the arena, circling Silena, who was looking relax and smirking at him "What? Scared that I, a girl, beat you?" Silena taunted him, like a real professional. The guy started to scream and launched at her. Silena simply stepped away and let him fall, his face first onto the floor. The crowd laughed so hard that fueled the guy to get up and launched again, this time, not missing his target. Silena quickly got free from him and jumped over him, kicking him in the stomach. The guy groaned and threw a punch to her, that she stopped and flipped him over her shoulder. She quickly twisted his arm and pinned him down.

"One! Two! Three! Four! Fiv-" The host stopped his count when the guy got away from Silena's embrace and started to pin her down, holding her neck between his hands. Silena started to kick him around, finally getting released. She started to cough, but even so, she got up.

"Nice try, punk... But I'm still up" she showed him, smirking "And, I have your wallet" she pulled out a wallet from her pocket.

"You, bitch!" the guy roared and set his mind on killing mode. He launched at Silena again, this time, not stopping because of the barrier of people. He kept pushing her until he found the wall of the actual arena. He slammed Silena's head against the wall so hard, I'm sure I heard a crack. I rushed over there and started to separate them. When I took the first step, a lot of other people started to help me. Silena had blood all over her head and her eyes were closed. I picked her up and, without saying a word to anyone, I headed to the Infirmary.

I fell asleep while waiting for Silena's Dad.

When I woke up, I saw a man sitting across me, next to Silena. He was wide awake, his hands quickly passing the pages of a magazine. His hair was dark brown and his eyes were trained on the reading. He was wearing a simple shirt and some jeans.

"Daddy?" I heard Silena's croaked voice calling the man, who quickly shoved the magazine away.

"Hey, Sil... How do you feel?" he held her hand.

"My head hurts..." she admitted "I'm sorry I left without telling you..."

"What matters now is that you're OK" he waved it off, like it meant nothing, but the way his eyes shone meant he was hiding something.

"No, it's not OK!" Silena protested, slamming her other hand against the bed "Is just that I was so tired of-"

"I know, Sil"

"No, you don't!" Silena argued him, tears in her eyes "Just because I look like Aunt Silena doesn't give her the right to treat me the way she does!"

"Your Mom just want you safe"

"Dad, I'm seventeen! I'm moving to New Rome next year! She knows this!"

"Knowing is not the same as wanting it, Sil" the man sighed, playing with her hair "You look so much like her, not only physically, but also mentally that scares her to lose you... She lost one, she won't lose another one"

"She will lose me if she keeps this up"

"Well, tough love because you're wearing a bandage on your head" he pointed out, smirking.

"Who brought me here?"

"That would be me" I took it as my cue to butt in "I'm Cato, son of Demeter"

"You have to be kidding me..."Silena muttered "Couldn't you just gave me some herbs and, presto? I was better?!" I was taken aback for that, also Mr. Rodriguez.

"Are you joking?! You were bleeding!" I fired back at her, while he Dad watched us, amuse.

That's how I met Silena Rodriguez's Dad...
