Thanks for everyone who reviewed! Sorry this chapter's a little late. I've been super busy. Anyways, here's Chapter 2! I only own Ixion, Kyle, Cody and Christos.
Ixion's POV
As we walked into the small room, a beautiful woman was waiting for us. She smiled at all of us but when her eyes fell upon me and Karina she glared.
"Welcome demigods. As you all know you have been chosen to fight in our annual Demigod Games. Tonight you will be taken to Mount Olympus to prepare for the games. Tomorrow you will participate in the Tribute Parade. You get 3 days to train and then you have an interview with the lovely Hermes. After that you're off to the arena. Your parents our your mentors and Aphrodite will be your stylist any questions?"
No one raised their hand. The women smiled.
"No questions? Good. Follow me." She led us to a small blue bus.
"How are all 24 of us going to fit in that?" Karina whispered to me. I shrugged. Her question was answered when the door opened. Inside the bus was huge, nymphs were carrying trays with food and drinks and in every seat there was a TV. I heard Karina groan.
"What's wrong?" I asked her. She pointed at the driver's seat.
"Apollo's driving." I groaned too.
Karina and I sat in the back far away from Apollo. I stared once again at the woman who brought us here who was now talking to Apollo.
"Who is that?" I asked Karina.
"It's Hera dummy." A girl's voice answered. I turned to glare at the girl but the only girl I saw was the girl from Demeter who was sitting across from me and Karina. She was smirking at me and my heart fluttered.
"I'm Ixion." I blurted out and stuck out my hand. She smiled at me and shook it.
"I'm Ginevra."
"That's a pretty name." I said. She blushed slightly.
"Thanks." I smiled at her. I then felt a sharp slap on my arm. I turned to face Karina who was glaring at me.
"Now is not the time to get a girlfriend." She hissed at me. I glared at her.
"I'm just being friendly." I said not understanding why she was getting so angry with me.
"Well stop. Were Careers we don't be friendly with non-careers!" She whispered at me and I knew she was glaring at Ginevra.
Sawyer's POV
I have no idea who I'm sitting by. But he's scaring me. A lot. I think he may be the son of Ares but I'm not sure. I looked around for Devin and saw him flirting with the daughter of Hades. I rolled my eyes.
"You're the daughter of Hermes right?" The boy asked beside me. I turned to him and his chocolaty brown eyes were staring right into my hazel eyes. I looked down and blushed.
"Ya." I whispered not knowing if he can hear me.
"Cool. I'm Christos. Son of Hephaestus!" He said smiling at me. He stuck out his hand for me to shake. I did.
"I'm Sawyer."
"Sweet name." I blushed once again.
"Not really. At first when they called my name for the reaping I thought they were calling my brother who has the same name as me." I said laughing a little. He laughed too.
"When they called my name I thought they said Christine and I'm like what there's two girls this year?" He laughed once again and I giggled. I glanced around the room once again and saw Devin glaring at me. I rolled my eyes and looked at Christos.
"It's a shame we never got to say goodbye to our families." I said. He nodded his head looking a little sad.
"Ya, I don't think your brother likes me very much." He said looking at Devin who was glaring at us.
"Ignore him. He glares at every guy I talk to." I rolled my eyes once again. Christos smiled.
"You roll your eyes a lot." I rolled my eyes once again and smiled at him. We laugh together once again.
Maximus's POV
The bus stopped and I nudged Claire who was peacefully sleeping next to me.
"What?" She mumbled her eyes still closed.
"Were here." Her eyes shot open and she stood up. The second the door opened she raced down the aisle. I chuckled and walked off the bus like everyone else. I heard gasps and I myself admired the beautiful sight. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see my dad with Claire.
"Beautiful isn't it?" He said smiling at me. I nodded my head.
"Ok, follow me I'll take you to your room." We followed him into the building and down a hallway. He stopped at a purple door with a sign saying Dionysus on it. He opened the door and Claire gasped. Almost everything was purple.
"Like it?" Dad asked. We both nodded our heads.
"Good, now you two better sleep. We have a busy day tomorrow." He closed his door on the way out. I sat down on the purple sofa and Claire sat beside me.
It was quiet for a few minutes until Claire broke the silence.
"Maximus?" She asked.
"Ya?"
"Are we going to die?" I sat there for a few minutes thinking about the question.
"No. No, were not going to die." She seemed pretty happy with my answer. And got off the couch towards her room.
"Are we going to die?"
"Yes." I whisper to myself.
Ok, thanks for reading! Next chapter will be the Tribute Parade. I'm going to post the costumes on my profile page sometime today or I may wait until next chapter...
