Wolfy: First off, I'M ALIVE! Second, Thank you to Hugs6 for motivating me with the Private Message she sent today.
CPG: What message is this?
Wolfy: One telling me, in different words, to get my lazy butt into my computer chair and start writing.
Da: Okay then.
Wolfy: Yup. I won't bore you all with my life story, but I've been having friendship troubles lately, along with someone spreading untrue rumors about me. I've been busy working those out, which is why I have not been updating until yesterday when I had a burst of inspiration for my new book obsession, Rangers Apprentice. :D Also, we've been packing all week because we (My family and I) Are leaving tomorrow to go Skiing!
Chrys: Lucky ducky.
Wolfy: Yes I am.
Betty: *Rolls eyes* Only good thing is that I get to stay home while she's gone.
Skie: You don't bring her with you?
Wolfy: Nope. I have someone better!
Betty: Who is that, might I ask? How is she more awesome than moi?
Wolfy: Her name is Teeki. She is the most adorable thing in the history of cuteness! SHE'S CUTER THAN MEEP! *Holds up a pink Shnook Google "Shnook Teeki" If you want an image*
Others(except Nico): Woah.
Nico: She's not that cute.
Psycho: HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! YOU SHALL BE REGURGITATED!
Others: What the Hades?
Nico: *Pees his pants in fear*
Wolfy: Meet my psychotic sister "Psycho"
Others: Hi?
Psycho: 'Sup? PREPARE TO DIE NICO DI'ANGELO!
Skie: You do realize that regurgitating is the same as vomiting?
Psycho: Yup. I plan to feed him to a Kalkara, then make it vomit him up!
Nico: *Runs for his life*
Psycho: *Laughs maniacally and pulls out a Throwing knife, longbow, Saxe knife, and pulls on a Ranger cloak that blends into the room* MWAHAHAHAHA!
Chrys: Explain?
Wolfy: I'd rather not. We're sworn to secrecy. But, we might right a story on it in the future...*Grins slightly evilly*
Others: ?
Wolfy: Anyway...This is getting long, we'll DC in the end note.
Annie's POV
Well this is great. My ex-boyfriend who died, then came back, then stabbed me in the back, and the heart, came back to attack me and my friends in a battle to the death. I thought as I shot arrow after arrow at the oncoming army. Oh joy. As I reached for another arrow, I realized I was out. Crud. Sighing, I pulled off my headband trident thing and rushed into the fray, shooting random water spurts at the enemy. I stabbed a few too. Sooner than I realized, the battle was drawing to a close. It's summer, for crying out loud. Our "army" was at it's strongest, especially because kids were being claimed at younger ages. As the enemy slowly retreated, I felt someone grab my hand. It was Bob, with the most pleading look on his face. Gods, does he ever give up? Suddenly, memories flashed before my eyes. It showedthe life we could have together. Away from all this, with the war over. Laughing as we walked through the park, holding hands. We were at a romantic movie. Homecoming. Senior prom. The marriage altar. We were watching our kids play at the park. Looking at this I realized, I missed being a normal person. I missed having the most I ever worried about being whether I did well on my homework. Without me realizing, Bob started leading me away.
Nico's POV (Random reader: *Gasps* It's someone else's POV! :D)
As I stood surveying the battle site, I realized something: I couldn't see Annie. And, knowing her, she would be doing all she could to help heal the injured campers. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted her. Then, I realized that she was walking away. With Bob. What the Hades? I'll not lie, I was seriously hoping he'd been killed in the battle. How is he not dead? Grumbling, I rushed down there, ready to rescue my girlfr-I mean, my friend. Yes. Just friend.
Anyway, as I came closer, I realized that she wasn't struggling or anything. They were calmly walking away, holding hands. Wait, holding hands? What the Hades is going on? Unfortunately, I stepped on a dead twig, and Bob turned around, his self-satisfied grin turning into a scowl. As he pulled out his sword, I pulled out my dagger.
"What have you done to Annie?" I growled.
"Who says I've done anything?"
"Nothing, you're just, uh, EVIL! And, I know for a fact that Annie would never betray us, even if you guys did 'date.'"
"Let's ask her then. Annie, who do you want to side with, Camp, or me?"
"Bob..." Annie replied dreamily.
"See, she's on our side now." Bob smirked. I eyed him warily.
"Something is rotten-" I started to be cut off by Annie.
"In the state of Denmark." She whispered, turning around. Before I could react, however, Bob grabbed her hand, and her eyes went out of focus and a dreamy smile appeared on her face.
"What did you do?" I growled again. Gods, I sound like a dog.
"Oh, nothing, just simple hypnotization. Nothing irreversible."
"Dude, what the heck? How is that even possible?"
"You really expect me to tell you?"
"Um, yeah! Or, I'll figure it out! I mean, I did it a minute ago. I'm not quite sure what I did...but I can do it again!"
"Seriously? Are you an idiot? You said, 'Something is rotten' and she finished 'In the state of Denmark' quoting Hamlet. I can't believe you didn't know that!"
"I'm not a Shakespeare person. His plays are depressing."
"And you aren't?" He asked, gesturing to my black clothing.
"Touché."
"Anyway, that quote thing won't work again. Her mind is too far gone. She'd need something stronger than Shakespeare to bring her back."
"But I thought the pen was mightier than the sword!"
"Shakespeare didn't use a pen. He used a quill." Bob told me.
"How old is this guy?"
"A little less than 600."
"Oh..." While he was distracted by my lack of knowledge (Not stupidity-Lack of knowledge!) I ran towards him and put my dagger at his throat. "How. Can. I. Reverse it?"
"I don't know." He replied cooly. One thing I can say for that guy, he knows how to remain calm.
"Then how did you plan on reversing it?" I asked, astonished that he didn't know.
"I said I don't know how you could reverse it. I know how I can."
"How?" Silence. "How?" I dug my dagger further into his neck.
"Like I would tell you. Anyway, it's practically impossible for you to do it. You'd need something incredibly strong that will remind her of her actual life to even have a chance." He gloated. Suddenly, I something that Annie had once told popped into my head. 'Love Conquers All' I knew what to do. Using a move Percy had taught me, I quickly flipped my dagger so I was holding the blade, and hit Bob in the head with the hilt, knocking him out. Then, I jumped over him to Annie, pulled her into a dip, and kissed her.
Annie POV
I suddenly came back to my senses to find Nico kissing me. I'll admit I was a more than a little surprised at first, then I just went with it. As at least everyone in the Aphrodite cabin knows, I've had a crush on him for a while. So, my life seemed perfect at the moment. Then, of course, someone had to come and ruin it. At the sound of someone applauding, Nico and I drew out of our fantasy to find Drew standing there, a smug smile on her face.
"Finally. I have something on you." She smirked.
"What do you-" I noticed the small pink camera-phone in her hand. "Oh." Nico slowly knelt and grabbed his dagger.
"Nico, hon, you don't wanna do that, do you?" Drew asked in her sugar-coated charm-speak voice. He slowly set it down again. I clenched my fist. I'd been fed up with Drew before, but this was the last straw. She'd been a thorn in my side for long enough. I marched up to her.
"Drew Carter." I growled (I just made up the last name, I don't think they ever tell us in the books.) This past week, I've been through more emotional turmoil than you have in your whole pathetic life. Today, I had to fight someone who used to be one of my best friends. I am in no mood to be blackmailed by a stupid word that starts with 'B' and rhymes with 'Witch' who feels that just because her life is miserable that everyone else's should be too. So back. Off!" On the last word, I shoved her, not too gently, might I add, causing her to drop the phone. I used a bit of my sun powers to concentrate the sunlight on that spot, burning the phone beyond repair. While she stood opening and closing her mouth like a dead fish, I gave Nico a quick kiss on the cheek, then raced off to help with the aftermath of today's fight.
Psycho: *Gives up on Nico and pulls cloak off* Torturing Nico is fun!
Wolfy: I know, right? Now, can you bring in our guest for the Disclaimer?
Psycho: Si si si! *Runs out then runs in dragging Halt*
Halt: *Stands silently with his hand on his Saxe knife*
Wolfy: Relax, Greybeard. We only need you to read this for us.
Halt: Why do you insist on calling me Greybeard? *Grumbles* Fine. Ahem. Wolfy does not own Shnooks, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Heroes of Olympus, ChickWithThePurpleGuitar, TheAwesomesaucenessOfDa, TimeladySkie, AnnaDaughterofHermes, or Rangers Apprentice, because she is not an awesome enough writer or...stuffed animal maker person?
Wolfy: Yup. I'm working on my sewing skills though. My dress will hopefully be done by the end of the schoolyear.
A-K: If you quit procrastinating...
Wolfy: It's not procrastinating. It's "Crocheting is easrier to clean up"ing.
Halt: That made no sense.
Psycho: She rarely does.
CPG: True that.
Wolfy: Whose side are you on?
Da: SWITZERLAND!
Wolfy: *Sarcastic* Ha ha ha, you are so funny.
Chrys: *Rolls eyes* Am I the only sane one around here?
Luna Lovegood: *Apparates in* Don't worry, you're just as sane as I am *Apparates out*
Skie: Anyway, please review! It will motivate her to at least WRITE during her 3 day car trip.
Wolfy: Yup, anyway, peace, love, and-
CPG: NANNIE FOREVER!
Wolfy: Yup! Adios!
