"Wait you can understand it too?" someone in the crowd asked.

I laughed, "Well no duh, the peacock is Hera's sacred animal. Its like how Percy can speak to horses and fish, I can speak to peacocks and cows."

"Isn't he beautiful!" Coral exclaimed.

"Yes he is Coral," I said smiling.

After the crowd had dispersed, Leo came up to me and said, "So how did you like your sword?"

"Its really nice, it fits in my hands really well and it's the perfect length. Plus, since it can turn into a pedant and put on a necklace, I have less of a chance of losing it," I said with a huge grin.

"Nice, I'm glad you like it." He then walked away to get some food.

Well you two should get some food Eliza said.

"What about you?" I asked him.

I just ate before I came, so I'll be good for a little while He explained.

"Oh okay," I said leading Coral to the long line of food. Once we got our food, we walked over to the Hermes table where Jamie was.

"Hey," Jaime said as we sat down beside him.

"Hey."

"They still don't have a Hera table?" He asked.

"Yeah, but I don't mind, I like sitting with other people, and if we had a Hera table it would just be me and Coral."

Travis came over and sat down beside Coral, "Hey squirt," he said messing up Coral's hair, she looked up at him and smiled.

Then Connor came over and sat down beside his brother, "So, are we going to do the thing tonight?" Connor asked Travis.

"You bet!" Travis says while high-fiving Connor.

"What thing?" I ask as I take a bite of my food.

"Weell, you can't tell anybody but," Travis said while leaning down and whispering, "We're going to prank the Aphrodite cabin."

"I usually would try to stop you, but Aphrodite turned all of my shirts pink the other day and I've been having to barrowing shirts from people. So go head." I said. This made Connor and Travis high-five again, I just laughed.

"We're going to do it right before Capture the Flag tonight, would you like to help?" Connor asked eagerly.

"We're going to play Capture the Flag today?" I said excitingly.

"Yeah, its going to be epic! Which people should start to ask others to be on their teams, and I bet that everyone's going to want you on their team," Travis stated. I just rolled my eyes.

"Back to my original question," Connor said, "do you want to help us prank them?"

"I-I don't know, I don't want to get in trouble, it would be nice to get revenge, but I'm not really the revenge type," I said.

"But it will be fun," Travis pleaded, "And if Chiron finds out that it was us, we won't say anything about you." Travis then went on to pretend to zip his lips up and swallow the key.

I just slapped my forehead, "You can't zip you lips, and then open them to swallow the key."

The two brothers just ignored what I had said, "Soooo, how about our offer?" they said simultaneously, which to be honest was kind of creepy.

"Fine, but just this once, and if I get in trouble, I'm going to kill you two." They saluted at me then went to eating their food. I just sighed, Tonight is going to be interesting I thought.

And it turned out that Travis was right, everyone, and I mean everyone, wanted me on their team. Ever where I turned was yet another person asking me to be on their team. After a while I got tired of it so I went into my cabin, at least no one would be able to follow me in there.

I walked into the white cabin just to find Eliza sleeping in the one corner on a bed. How the bed got in here, I had no clue. After a little while of thinking, I had an idea about how I was going to choose which team I was going to be on. I was going to ask Chiron to assign me to one.

I arrived at the big house where Mr. D was sitting on the porch, playing with cards. "Hey Mr. D!" I said as I stepped onto the porch, "Do you know where Chiron is, I need to ask him a question."

"Yeah horse man is inside," He replied.

"Thanks."

I walked inside to see Chiron sitting in his wheelchair next to the couch. "Hello child," He said as soon as he was me, "What do you need?"

"Well, everyone wants me to be on their team, but I don't know what to choose. I know I'm very powerful, and they know it too, so the team that doesn't have me on their side knows that their going to lose. So I was wondering if you could assign me to a team, I just don't want to let anyone down."

"Hmm, I think this is a decision you should make on your own," He said as he wheeled himself out of the big house. I sighed, Well that didn't work I thought.

As I headed back to my cabin I was stopped by none other than Clarisse La Rue herself.

"We need you on our team," she said, "the Athena cabin was able to get almost everyone on their team by bribing them. My team only has Percy and my cabin. Plus I know you're not easy to bribe, so I figured that you weren't on their team yet."

I smiled, maybe this is what I needed. "You know you're not nearly as mean as Rick Riordan described you."

She growled, "Its because I have a bit of respect for you. I also need you on my team, or we're as good as dead."

I smiled, "I would be honored to be on your team. I also have an idea of on how we could win."

Clarisse began to smirk as I told her my plan, it was more of an evil smirk but I'll count it. "Ya know what, you're really something girly," she said as she walked away.

Thanks for reading! I'm going to try to get at least one or two more chapters out today, so keep watch for when I post them.
