So, by the way, Luke is still alive. I'll explain how later. Enjoy :)
Chapter 3
I was really waiting for Capture The Flag. The creep should learn not to mess with everybody she sees, 'cause some of them can be stronger then her.
"Hey," Said Percy. "Riley, right? Um… Are you out of your mind?"
"You're are, people, so stressed out. Chill." I walked towards the cabins.
"Fine. You think you're such a good fighter? Prove it. The arena. Ten minutes. Oh, and you better get a new weapon. Your bow is not a very good face to face weapon."
Oh, he really enjoys teasing me. "Bring it on."
He pointed towards a wood cabin. "Cabin 9, Hermes. Have fun."
"Oh, I will."
He threw me a sleeping bag. Well, guess I'm going to sleep on the floor tonight. I came into the door. There were tons of kids running around and trying to still each other's stuff. A blonde boy that looks 25, with deep blue eyes and scare that crossed his right eye came over to me.
"Hey, I'm Luke. Son of Hermes, leader of this cabin. And you are…?"
"Riley, don't have parents, doesn't really want to be here."
He laughed. "Ya know, you kind of reminding me someone…" His smile turned to a reflective face. "Never mind. Well, you can settle in this spot, here. Dinner in about half an hour. Busy?"
Right, I am busy. "Well, actually, a boy name Percy wants to 'test' my skill, in about… Right now?"
"Oh, Percy," He pouted. "That's fine, we'll wait for you."
I can like this guy. "Thanks." I started walking towards the arena. Percy just stood there.
"Well! Who knows, you're here!" He tossed me a bronze sword with a leather handle. It was beautiful. I caught it. "That's Phobos. Think you can handle it?"
I chuckled. "Well, I don't know." He just seems to have too much self confidence. Like… Like… Like Achilles. Like he knows that there is no chance he would lose.
I smiled when I realized what I just find out.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Nothing."
"Whatever. Pick up your swords. 1… 2… GO!"
I attacked towards his shoulder, but he blocked me. I tried to attack towards his legs, but he blocked that one, too. Come on, Riley… Think! Where would I choose my Achilles Spot… In… In my lower back? Yeah, in my lower back. But I'm not him. Well, it worth trying. I moved to the right and tried to confuse him. He followed me, and I slipped between his legs. I got up on my feet, and placed my sword on his lower back. He froze.
"Don't move," I told him. "A dip in river Styx, huh? Thought I wouldn't notice?"
"You…" He stopped.
I smiled with satisfaction. "Well, I did. So what do say about my skills now? Can I fight the show off?"
"Do you mind to remove your sword from me first?"
I chuckled, and moved me sword. "Yeah, you're a smooth talker…"
"So… You can fight her just if she's in your other team. And she is. So feel, free, make me proud… Just hurt her, please."
"Trust me, I will," I was waiting for it. "So who's in my team?"
"You are… The red team. You know, Hermes, Demeter… We are the blue team."
"We?"
"Poseidon, Athena and Ares."
"Oh, so I'm going to get a chance to kick some wiseguys, too."
"Riley. You're not touching any wiseguy." Do you mean a specific wisegirl?
"Fine, Mr. Pushy…" I pouted.
He laughed. "Come on. You should go back to your cabin. Dinner in five minutes."
Annabeth POV
So I saw the weirdest thing I've ever seen when I walked by the arena.
Percy stood there, and hold Ripdite, while he handed a black haired girl, that, by the way, stood with her back to me, Phobos.
I didn't really understand what are they talking about, but it seems like they are going to fight. And then, like I said, the weirdest thing happened. They attacked each other in an identical way. Literally, the exact way. Eventually, the girl slipped between Percy's legs, and placed Phobos on his Achilles Spot. How does she know where it is?
And then is saw her face. I gasped. It was like looking at a female Percy. Something's going on, and I'm going to find out exactly what it is.
