As you can see, I'm gonna be doing the story, in the fashion of The Lost Hero. Great Book the way. And also, yes I'm gonna put "Capture the Flag in, and you'll see who Langley's Olympian parent is. Also! There is gonna be some twists in the next chapter, 'Cause Brenda's parent isn't Poseidon. It's well...never mind.
After the fun with Clarisse, Chris walked back to his cabin. He passed a blonde kid, and a kid with
black hair battling with swords. One sword looked gold, and the other one looked like bronze. People
were crowding around to see the fight, but Chris thought he better hurry up and get there. He came to
the cabin and looked at it. It was painted a blood-red color, and the paint was crumbling. At the top of
the door was the head of a wild boar, snout, tusk, everything. The thing looked so real, but Chris knew it
was fake. Until the thing snarled at him. Chris ran through the yard, and was immediately tackled.
"Ah!" Was all he had time to get out before the dude spoke.
"What are ya' trying to do? Die!" He said, as he pulled him up.
"What the heck are you talking about!" Chris asked, completely confused.
"The fucking land mines! Don't tell me you didn't see them, you are a child of Ares, right?"
When the dude said it, Chris immediately noticed the land mines, and jumped back.
"What the hell! Why didn't I notice that before?"
"Guess you were just claimed. By the way, I'm Dakota, what's yours?"
"Um, Chris. Nice to meet you, Dakota." He held a hand out and Dakota shook it.
"Nice to meet you too. Well, come on. We gotta get in the cabin somehow." He ran to the other side of
the cabin and pulled a back door open, and they plunged into the dirty place.
"What the fuck!" Chris said.
The place looked like a fucking Metallica concert. People were headbanging to rock all over the place.
Others were fighting each other using daggers and fist. And still others were screaming at the dudes to
turn the music down. There was cursing all over the place in languages Chris recognized as Latin and
Ancient Greek. One of the dudes got up from his bunk and hit another one in the mouth.
The two started fighting and then everyone started wrestling and throwing punches. Then the whole
cabin started a brawl. Chris had the urge to get in there too, but he held it back. Apparently Dakota
wasn't trained to withstand that urge, because in seconds he was in there fighting them all. Then Clarisse
walked in, her face covered with ash. Her hair was smoking and her clothes wrecked.
"Who added a new land mine! ANYONE GONNA ANSWER ME!"
Ohhh, Chris thought. Big Sis gonna kick some ass! She asked again, and raised her spear into the air.
"Which one of you little punks is gonna answer me!"
"Like we're afraid of 'Lamer'" One of the kids snickered.
"Was that you, Shaque!" She pounded over to the the girl, and gave her a huge kick in the face.
"Now," She asked again. "WHO THE FUCK ADDED THE MINE?"
"ME!" One of the kids spoke up. "I ADDED THE GODS DAMN MINE!"
Clarisse growled and landed the butt of her spear smack dab in the dude's face. Chris was tempted to
run and hide from the monster that was Clarisse, but he held his ground.
"Clarisse," He said in a firm voice. "I, uh, need your help with something, outside!"
She still looked pissed, but she complied and started walking outside. The other kids gave him silent
"Thank yous" as he left.
"What do you want, chump?" She glared at him.
"Um, well I wanted to talk." He said, quickly, making up the lie as he went.
"About what?" She asked.
"I wanted to ask you about dad. Is he really cool, or is he mean?"
"Ain't no such thing as mean to our dad. And he's cool. He even visits the cabin from time to time."
"Oh, I thought, with being the god of war and all, he'd be, like, terrible."
"Naw, he's pretty chill."
"Oh, okay."
"Yeah, well if you'll excuse me, I have some face to poun-"
And the whole place trembled, smoke billowed up from the infirmary. He and Clarisse rushed around to
the front, and saw that the whole infirmary was blown away.
Wait, Chris thought, Aren't Brenda and Langley in there?
That's when he and Clarisse rushed to the site of the explosion.
