Chapter 6

Adara's P.O.V

A month has passed. Yes, a month. A month of me getting better at training. I mean, better at evading being killed. Here, today is an example.

Nico struck at my left and I quickly did a spin to evade him. Damn! I nearly got hit! Nico spin to continue his strike on me. I raised my dagger at him to block. I used my leg to kick him away, I ran at him.

I quickly pushed him down and held the dagger at his throat. I grinned.

" How was I, Nico?" I said while getting off him.

" Better. Your strength still needs some working. It's a good thing you're fast and you do not trip so much anymore." I blushed. Yes, the first few lessons are balancing. I really was bad in balancing. I kept tripping. " A dagger is good for you. Sword will be too heavy for you."

" Yes well. That's good isn't it? Hey, Nico, how about we take a break and- Nico!! Look out!!" I shouted as a hellhound suddenly appeared. It pounced on Nico, well actually, it tried to pounce on Nico but thankfully he evaded the attack.

Nico got his hands full with that hellhound. I have to help him. I looked around and spot another hellhound, ready to attack Nico. I froze. Not again! Come on! I can do it! I know I can!

I felt my body slowly returning to my control. Without a second thought, I charge at the hellhound.

" Come on, I wish I'm good enough!" I shouted before hitting the hellhound. It didn't notice me and perish it did.

" Dara! Behind you!" Nico shouted at me just as I was about to do my victory dance. I did a spin kick before throwing the dagger at the hellhound. I turned to see Nico killing a hellhound.

I grinned at him. I ran up to him and hug him.

" I can kick hellhound ass now!" Nico smirked.

" Yes, you can. But a little earlier would have been better."

I pouted before scowling. " Hey! It's not my fault! Oh right…. Have you studied for the exams? It's tomorrow."

Now, I saw a look of panic on his face. I grinned in triumph.

" No. But I'll do fine."

" Really now? We'll see."

Nico's P.O.V

She's right… we'll see. We'll see how many red I'll get this time. Maybe next time, I should be a child of Athena. Better results… maybe. At least I'll score for mythology.

The next day,

" How was maths?" Dara asked me with a grin.

" It was ok." You would think I was joking but it was ok. I could answer more than half the questions! See how good that is!

Then I heard a frustrated scream. Everyone turned to that direction. It's that May girl. The ex-best friend of Dara.

" Look, I can't take it anymore! I'm sorry, ok?! Happy now!? I'm sorry! My personality is like that! But, I'll change! I will change! So, stop pretending like I don't exist, Dara!" Dara looked at her and grinned.

" I've forgiven you long ago. I was just waiting for you to apologise and realise your mistake." Dara went over to May and hugged her.

If she was a half-blood, she would probably be in the Athena Cabin. She could see through the mist. She's smart too… I've been thinking about getting a satyr here to see if she is a half-blood…. But… why am I hesitating?

" You mean all I had to do was apologise? Why didn't you tell me earlier, guys?!" May turned to Cameron and Mindy, who both smiled sheepishly.

" My dear, you had to learn for yourself." Cameron said, sweetly.

" I agree with her, May." Mindy grinned.

" Oh, all three of you are so dead!" May shouted.

" Guys, we should run now. I'll see you later, Nico!" The three best friends ran off with the other best friend chasing them. I smiled. Yes, friendship is a strong thing.

A few days later, the results came out and I was thanking the gods profusely. I didn't get last! I got 16 in class. Pretty good, right? But the thing that shocked me would be Dara and her results. She is 3rd in class while the highest is her friend Cameron.

" How did you-?" I asked, still surprised.

" I'll tell you later."

At the park,

" So, how did you?" I questioned her again.

" Well, I remember when I failed an exam when I was 5 years old. I prayed and wished that I was smarter. So, voila! I became smart enough to get high marks without studying. I can't study though… Something about ADHD and dyslexia."

" Wait, what? ADHD and dyslexia? That is common for half-bloods… You might be a half-blood." I could see the shock in her face.

" Is that so? Well then, you wouldn't mind me taking her, do you?" A voice said. I turned to see Kenneth and quite a lot of hellhounds. Oh, don't forget the two dracaena. Those stupid snake women! I looked at Dara and we came into one mutual agreement. " Run!"
