Chapter 2
Daniel
I was standing in an Abandoned Warehouse in the middle of nowhere waiting for a underground fighting match and even with my tall frame or "freaking annoying giant tallness" as my best friend Ethan said I still couldn't see over the crowd waiting for the fight to start.
"Come on Ethan stop being a wuss, we need to get up front if were going to see anything," I was straining on my toes trying to see over the roaring crowd, The Clobbering King and the Ghost Assassin were fighting tonight, it was said it was going to be the best show down of all time.
"Geeze Daniel, you know I hate these fights I'm a son of Athena, you know how I think these battles are stupid, plus we have school tomorrow and we only came back from camp half-blood yesterday cause you wanted a full bloody recount of Annabeth and Percy's newest quest so if I fall asleep in class again Mrs Stinsky is threatening to give me an afterschool. Again and this time it will be on the first day of school" Ethan always complained when we went to these matches, he was always complaining how these fighters never had any class and never fought fair. But he always went with me to keep me out of trouble, and because I had no protector in the human world and because he was my best friend.
I gave him my best begging look, "Come on man I'm a son of Ares and I haven't sparred or done any fighting since camp yesterday, think of it like this, at least I'm not in the arena" his fake stern face melted away to resignation "Fine, we'll go to the front but you have to promise me to get us home before two a clock or before we become monster dinner because otherwise I'm going to teach you what being a child of Athena is all about". I grinned at him "Thanks man" completely ignoring his threat. I grabbed his t-shirt and pushed him to the front, the Clobbering King was already in the ring by the Ghost assassin was no where to be seen yet, rumour is that she would go through the audience stands to the stage and would sometimes sign stuff, I really hoped I could meet her.
Time was passing and I was bored so I decided to pick up my second most favourite thing to do when i'm bored and couldn't spar, i annoyed Ethan "Hey Ethan" I said this while poking him, "EEEETHAAAAN" I said this in a kind of sing song voice, "ETHAAAAAN", "WHAAAAT?" he said glaring at me "Oh nothing" I answered while giving him my most innocent and nonchalant facial expression "I just wanted to say hi, you know see if you were still in there you looked like you were daydreaming about math equations" I knew Ethan hated people saying just because he was a child of Athena that he liked Math.
He actually hated it so I just loved watching new kids at camp half-blood or demigods in Australia ask him if he liked math just because his mother was the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle strategy, Or if it made him super smart or if he like math and stuff. Most funniest thing you could see when you are bored is seeing Ethan blow up at some poor kid because he asked if he like math because of his mum, it always made my day though it sure as hell pissed Ethan off to no end. But that was my mission today because Ethan always manages to steal every weapon you got, even though he swears that he is not a son of Hermes or judo flips you onto the floor. So as because I'm a Child of Ares I get urges to fight and because I have a bad temper (just like my dad) I always kind of beg for a fight when I'm bored cause that gives me something to do and . . . yeah because I'm bored.
I see Ethan narrow his eyes at me and I see him weigh me up and then the crowd around us, I grinned and waited for his first move. Then he does not what I expected him to do, he does nothing but cross his arms and smirk, "You really want a fight don't you? well unfortunately I'm a little tired you know jetlag, so I don't thing I'm up to a fight this evening. But since were at a fighting ring how about you watch a fight not get in one " He smirked, I frowned "Come on man! I'm bored and you know I don't do well with doing nothing" I tried my best to be as persuasive as I could. "Nope your just going to have to wait till after the match then we'll go monster-hunting for a hour or two" . I frowned "okay". I just really hoped this fight would start soon, I felt like something was going to happen tonight I just didn't know what.
