Chapter 2: Children of Posiedon
3rd POV (Setting: At Chiron's)
Percy and Annabeth stared at Liz and her new attire, when she stepped out of Chiron's place. Her tank top was replaced with a bright orange 'Camp Half-Blood' sleeveless shirt with a black shirt under it. Her jeans were also replaced with shorts. Around her neck, there was a Trident necklace along with a thick white chocker. On her wrist was a bracelet with a bow pendent. You could see her fairly pale skin tone, that made her eyes seem even brighter. Her hair was the same, though it had one lone braid behind her ear. (A/N: for an image just look at my profile pic ;3)
"What? Like something you see?" Liz's voice broken the two out of their trance.
"I don't think I've ever seen you wear a Camp Half-Blood shirt before." Annabeth blurted out.
Liz's bright eyes seemed to flicker as she smiled, sadly. "Yeah, there's always been no reason to when she was around..."
Annabeth looked at her. "Right, I'm sorry about that."
"No need, it was bound to happen.." Liz said to her quietly.
There was a small silence between the two. Before Liz clapped her hands together getting the couple's attention. "Well, there's no need to dwell on the past. I'm going to head on to my Cabin. You two have fun with the kid from Camp Jupiter." She said before walking off.
Percy's POV
'Kid from Camp Jupiter?' I thought to myself, 'Who is she talking about?' I heard Annabeth gasp, "That's right! Jason is coming by with Piper!" She slapped her forehead, obviously hating that she forgot about something like that. I can't believe I forgot either but...
"How did she know?" I ask to no one in particular.
I didn't mention this, but Piper left with Jason to Camp Jupiter for the summer. To catch up with each other. Leo stayed here while they left. Of course, Piper being a daughter of Aphrodite, she can't stay there. But Chiron and Reyna didn't have a problem with the camps meeting. but only a few people at a time.
"How did who know?" A voice said. We turned to see a familiar male blonde behind us.
"Jason! Piper!" Annabeth said, excitement heard in her voice as she hugged the couple.
"Hey, Bro!" I said to Jason, giving him a fistbump. "How are you guys?"
Jason returned the fistbump as we stared walking around the camp, listening to how they've been. Soon we found ourselves telling them about Liz and her what she said before they appeared. "Woah, really?" Piper piped up (no pun intended ^^;). "Right?" Annabeth says, "It's almost creepy."
"It's more creepy that it looks like you know her." I told her. Annabeth's face turned blank. "What?" i asked, a little uneasy about her expression. "Percy, almost everyone in the camp knows her." She said, looking at me with almost a grim expression, "and not all for good reasons..." The four of us stopped and stared at her. Before I could ask her what she meant, there was a sudden...war cry? We looked at each other as we started to run in the direction of the cry.
When we got there a crowd was already surrounding the person who made it. We quietly pushed through the crowd to see what was going on. "Now, Clarisse, think about what you're going to do." I heard a voice say as we were slowly making our way to the front. 'What's going on?' i thought as i saw a frozen wall in between Clarisse and Liz. Clarisse was in a warrior stance and stared at Liz with an intensity I'm glad she never looked at me with. While Liz had her hands up, probably to make sure the wall was intact between them, with a small smirk on her face but was in a defensive stance.
"You show your face here and you think this wasn't going to happen?" Clarisse starts as she tries to move around the wall, "If so you are a fool."
Liz chuckled nervously as she moves the wall to stay in between them, "I just thought we grew out of this after all these years."
"Heh, Like i'll grow out of beating you."
"Who said you ever beat me?"
Clarisse growled at the comment and yelled. "PUT DOWN THE WALL AND FIGHT ME!"
Liz's smirk was wider as she said, "Alright, but don't blame me if i hurt you too much." And with that the wall melted down. As soon as it disappeared, Clarisse lunged forward and swung her sword towards Liz, who dodged it by moving to the side. She grabbed Clarisse's arm and tossed her to the ground then stepped back. As Clarisse got up, Liz stretched her arms and got into a fighting stance. I came into a realization that Clarisse was the only one with a weapon and Liz was fighting bare handed.
Clarisse ran towards her and began to swing left to right. Liz dodged all her swings as she moved side to side. Clarisse then tried to slash her across her chest. Luckily Liz bent backwards and turned down to the ground and kicked Clarisse's shins. Clarisse fell from the impact but caught herself before she completely hit the ground. Liz took the opportunity and knee'd Clarisse in the face, sending her flying backwards. When Clarisse touched the ground she flipped back up on her feet.
She stared at Liz with an annoyed look. "You're not taking me seriously." She said her with a aggravated tone. Liz chuckled at the girl. "As if i would fight you with all my strength. No offense but you're not ready for my serious fighting." You would think at that Clarisse would go crazy with anger, but she didn't. She just sighed at her and got back in position. After a while of staring, they both launched towards each other.
Punch, kick, bend, dodge, slash, block, (up, up down down left right a-). With those moves they could barley connect to each other. "Shouldn't we stop this?" I heard Jason whisper to me. I look at him and shrug.
"I don't think we should get involved." I whispered back. It's just a feeling, but I feel if we get involved they'll get a lot more serious. "It's best we get out of their way and they'll tire themselves out. Or until one of them gives up." I whisper the last part. I see Jason nod and look back at the two. My gaze turns around the crowd surrounding them.
There were faces or excitement and wonder. The kids that trampled Liz earlier were cheering for her to win. While the people from the Ares Cabin were cheering for Clarisse. Some were betting on who would win. Surprisingly, most betted on Liz. I wonder if she's actually stronger than Clarisse without a weapon.
I turn my attention back towards the fight to see Clarisse in a water bubble. Liz was covering her mouth, obviously sniggering at the daughter of Ares squirming around in the bubble. It was truly a sight to see, but remembering the wall she did before it made me wonder. Where did the water come from? What other things can she do? They seem like stuff it'll take a while to perfect.
After a few seconds, Liz walked over the the bubble and popped it and Clarisse fell onto the ground. Before she got up, Liz froze her hands and feet to the ground. As Clarisse struggled to get up, Liz kneeled in front of her with a smile. "Looks like I win, right?"
Clarisse looked at her with a glare, "Only cuz you froze me to the ground," She then smirked. "But yeah, you won this time." With that, the ice around her melted. Liz held her hand out in front of her, reaching it towards Ares' daughter. Clarisse took it and got up to get a pat on the back by Liz. They smiled at each other.
"I don't think I've ever seen her smile like that." I muttered softly.
Annabeth must have heard me. "Well, it's no surprise. They've been friends for years." She explained.
I glance at my girlfriend before looking back at the two. I hummed softly as i saw kids from the crowd surround them. For some reason, seeing Liz's face turn from shock to joy made me smile and let out a breath i didn't know i was holding in. Seeing the sight somehow made me feel calmer. I wonder why.
Second Chapter done! You guys I'm seriously considering making a new story that just explains Liz's character more but i need to wait a fe- a lot of chapters to actually make it.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Remember to Follow, Favorite, and Review to show that you guys want more!
