Here we go. Chapter 1 for the Demigod Games. I only own Ixion, Cody, Kyle and Christos. Thank you for everyone who let me use their characters! And there was too many people who volunteered so I cut some...


"There must be another way father." The girl spoke fiddling with her fingers. Her father was the type of man who doesn't take no for an answer. Many people feared him including her but what he was saying was simply crazy. The room was quiet and although nobody said anything she could tell that they agreed with her.

"Yes Zeus, maybe this a little too extreme." Her step mother spoke up, placing a hand on her father's shoulder.

"There is no other way Hera. The children must do it!" The man spoke and shook off the woman's hand.

"It would solve so many problems." Her favorite sister said. The girl was mad. 'How could Athena think that' she thought.

"Children dying would solve problems!" The girl turned around and yelled at her sister.

"Artemis calm down. It is official we must have The Demigod Games." The man said placing his hand on the girl's shoulder. Tears formed in her eyes. And she did the one thing that she was taught at a young age. Obey her father.


Silence fell through the camp. Normally Chiron would think something was up but, he knew. Today was reaping day. On the outside the cabins looked empty but, on the inside they were bustling with life. Girls doing makeup and hair. Boys planning the perfect outfit. This day was not to celebrate but their parents were coming and that was important. The only kids outside their cabin were the Hephaestus kids who were busy building the stage for the reaping. Yes, everyone was getting all glammed up but one girl. Ella Olmos.

"Ella, dad will be here in 20 minutes. We have to get ready." Her older sister Hannah nagged into her ear for the millionth time. She rolled her eyes and slammed the book she was reading shut. She got off her bed and opened her closet looking for the perfect outfit. As she was digging through the closet, she heard the door slam shut and footsteps behind her.

"Jeez, Percy you scared the crap out of me!" She said to her 16 year old brother and the famous Percy Jackson.

"Sorry Ella. And if you're looking for an outfit. I would go with the blue dress." He said grabbing my favorite blue dress of its hook and handed it to me.

"Who knew that Percy Jackson had fashion sense?" I teasingly said to him. He smiled.

"Well I'm out. Oh, and don't tell anyone about that!" I laughed as he walked out the door. I looked at the dress and I agreed with my brother. This was the perfect outfit.

In the Zeus cabin, instead of saying their goodbyes and getting along it was a whole new story.
"STOP! GIVE IT BACK! IXION!" Karina Cloverfield yelled chasing her older brother around the room who was currently holding her favorite teddy bear.

"Wait until the whole camp finds out that my 14 year old sister sleeps with a teddy bear!" Ixion said smirking at his sister holding it way above her reach. 'Two can play at the game.' Karina thought.

"Then I'll tell the whole camp you have dinosaur pjs!" She said smirking at her older brother who's face went from amused to worried.

"Here. And if you tell anyone!" Ixion shoved the teddy bear back into his younger sister's arms. The door slammed open.

"Thalia!" Karina screamed and ran and hugged her older sister.

"What are you doing here?" Ixion questioned, picking out at tie.

"The Hunters have to be in this too remember? And I would go with the dark purple one." Thalia answered and placed her suitcase on an empty bed. Ixion opened his mouth but was cut off by a bell.

"It's time." Thalia said and grabbed Karina's hand.

Kids filed out of their cabin with mournful looks on their faces. 'Like somebody died.' Ixion thought. He followed Thalia until they reached the stage.

"Ok, now we have to go to our right age divisions. Here Karina, I'll help you find yours." And with that Thalia walked away with Karina. Ixion looked around and saw Nikilas Abrahamson his 16 year old cousin standing with Leia Serene another fellow 16 year old. He walked over there and waved at them.

"Hey guys." He said. Leia nodded her head and Nikilas gave him a small smile.

"Attention all Half Bloods." Hermes voice boomed through the microphone. Ixion almost forgot the gods were there.


Ella's POV

"Welcome to the 24th annual Demigod Games!" He said smiling at them. Ella who was standing with the other 13 year olds glared at him. How could he be happy?

"Now if you're not sure what the Demigod Games are, I will briefly explain it. One lucky boy and girl, ages 12 to 18 from each cabin will fight in an arena to the death to represent their parent. Now let's pick our lucky boy and girl for Zeus's cabin. Father." Zeus rose from his chair and walked over to the glass bowls with his kids names in it. The girls had about 4 names and the boys had 3. Ella felt awful. She knew her cabin had about the same amount. But, like Percy said her name is entered 1 time, there is no way she'll get picked. Zeus reached into the girls and pulled out a folded piece of paper. He handed it to Hermes.

"Karina Cloverfield." Ella gasped. Her 14 year old cousin! Ella's eye followed Karina as she made her way to the stage. Her brown hair was in a fishtail braid, she was wearing a nice flowy pale pink dress. When she got on stage, Hermes shook her hand and she stood by her father who gave her a small smile.

"Now the boys." Zeus reached into the boys and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper. He rolled his eyes and handed it to Hermes.

"Ixion McDonnel." Karnia paled and her eyes widened. Ixion walked on stage in his black tux and dark purple tie. He shook Hermes hand and placed his hand on his sister's shoulder.

"Please give a round of applause for Karina and Ixion!" Not. One. Person. Clapped. Hermes rubbed his neck.

"Ok... Next cabin, Poseidon." Ella's father stood up and she smiled. Just as Ella predicted, there was only 3 names for girls and 5 names for boys. Her father's hand hovered around in the bowl until he picked a pink piece of paper. Ella's eyes widened. No! Not-

"Page Simons!" The words cut Ella like glass. Even though Page was just a year younger than her, she was new and Ella knew what she had to do.

"I volunteer!" The words flew from her mouth and at that second Ella regretted it. Poseidon and Hermes looked right at her.

"Well come on up!" Hermes said. Ella slowly walked on stage, her blue dress rubbing against her legs.

"What's your name sweetie?" Hermes asked giving her the mic. Her dad looked surprised and Page was crying.

"Ella Olmos." Hermes clapped and then looked at her father who was now picking the boys.


Leia's POV

"Typical. Poseidon kids always take the spotlight." Leia's sister Drew whispered to her friends. Leia rolled her eyes and tried to focus on what was happening on stage.

"Poseidon's representives, Niklas and Ella!" Poor girl. Only 13. Her brother Niklas looked like he could kill her in one hit. Leia thought.

"Uncle Hades." Hades got up and Leia shivered. Creep.

"Hellen Williams!" A beautiful girl with curly dirty blonde hair wearing a black girly dress and TONS of jewlery walked on stage. She gave her father a brief nod and shook Hermes hand.

"And the boy... Richerd Sambora!"

"Damm, he's hot." Leia heard Drew whisper and her "friends" giggled. But, for once Leia agreed. He had dark olive skin and really nice messy dark hair. He shook his father's hand.

"Demeter." Demeter looked worried as she reached into the girl's bowl she pulled out a name and quickly handed it to Hermes.

"Kaitlin di Cosimo." Omg, a 12 year old.

"NO! I VOLUNTEER!" Ginevra di Cosimo screamed. Leia heard Drew giggle and she was ready to turn around and punch her in the face. Ginevra was wearing a really nice green dress that went well with her eyes. Her red curly mane was now straight and she looked beautiful.

"And what's your name?"

"Ginevra di Cosimo." Ginevra rubbed her neck and blushed. Hermes rubbed her back and turned his attenion back to Demeter who reached into the boy's bowl.

"Cody Jones." This time Drew laughed and Leia turned around.

"What's so funny? He's 13! What if that was you?" Leia asked her and for once Drew had nothing to say. Leia turned back around and watched Athena as she picked the "lucky" girl.

"Adalynn Carter." The girl beside Leia paled and she quickly walked on stage. She had really nice curly black hair and was wearing a beautiful white dress with gold trim. Hermes patted her on the back and Athena gave her a small smile. She then reached into the boy's bowl.

"Storm Ryder!" A girl screamed and Leia had a feeling Storm had a girlfriend. A boy with neat blonde hair wearing a white dress shirt with some jeans walked on stage. He had tears in his eyes.

"Aphrodite." Leia's heart sunk. 'Please anybody but the 12 or 13 year olds.' She thought praying as hard as she could.

"Leia Serene."


Ginevra's POV

Ginevra was shaking and she noticed the girl who got called up was shaking too. She had long straight black hair and was wearing a long purple dress. Hermes shook her hand and she stood by Storm and Ginevra saw her eyes shut close as Aphrodite picked the boy.

"Kyle Anderson." Another scream. A boy who looked about 18 walked on stage. He had dark brown hair and was dressed... casual. Hermes glared at him and Apollo quickly stood up.

"I'll be picking Artemis's too since she couldn't be here." That's when Ginevra knew she didn't stand a chance.

"Ok, the girl for Apollo and the 2 girl's for Artemis are..." Apollo grabbed 1 name from his bowl and 2 names from Artemis's.

"Roshan Davis, Sylvia White and Hiba Argyris." 3 girls walked up. The first had jet black hair and was wearing a nice red dress, the second had dark brown hair and was wearing a black skirt with a nice tank top and the last one has curly black hair and was wearing a green dress similar to mine.

"And the boy is..."

"Sam Woods." A small 12 year old boy made his way to the stage and before he stepped on it he was pushed aside.

"I VOLUNTEER!" Valen Woods shouted and Ginevra smiled. She loved it when people volunteered. Hermes smiled and Valen walked on stage.

"Ok, now it's time to pick my own children." Hermes reached into the girl's bowl and pulled out a nicely folded piece of paper.

"Sawyer Argani." A girl with nice straight light brown hair walked on stage. She gave Hermes a small smile. Hermes reached into the boy's bowl.

"Devin Augustine." A boy about the same age as Cody came on stage and shook his dad's hand. And then Ares stood up and the whole Ares cabin cheered. 'No wonder. They always win.' Ginevra thought.

"Genevieve Hill." A small girl with dark brown hair that was short came on stage. Like Kyle, she was dressed casual. She turned her head and smirked at me. Uh oh.

"And the lucky boy is..."

"Trey Smith." A HUGE guy walked on stage. He had so many muscles it looked like he could snap my neck in half. But he was handsome to... Ares shook their hands and Hephaestus stood up. Ares whispered something in his ear and Hephaestus looked ready to murder him. He reached Hermes and reached into the girl's bowl.

"Morgan Holland." Ginevra sighed. Morgan was a great friend of hers and she didn't want to kill her at all... or be killed by her... Morgan was actually wearing a nice pale blue dress and her scruffy blonde hair was in a bun. Hephaestus smiled at her and reached into the boys.

"Christos Balaban." Ginevra had no idea how it was possible but this guy was bigger than Trey. He shook his dad's hand and as Hephaestus went to sit back down, Ginevra saw him smirk at Ares. Dionysus stood up.

"And our last lucky boy and girl are..."

"Claire vi Procella and Maximus Cartwright!" They came on stage. Claire had straight black hair and was wearing a dark purple dress that was kinda short and Maximus had really cool silver hair and was wearing a purple tux.

"Thank you everyone. Tributes follow me." Zeus shouted and we followed him into a small room.
