Time flew by and before I knew it, a week had passed. I had spent a lot of my time with my cabin mates in training sessions, and I found that during training, a lot of people watched me, Chiron and the head councillors included. It was as though they were looking for something that would answer their questions, but apparently they hadn't found yet.

Anyway, back to the training sessions. Chiron made sure that no one was left out during lessons, and made sure that everyone had something to do. This helped a lot when dealing with a hundred or so hyperactive kids. There were a lot of things people had to do, and you often found some people running in-between lessons to get to their next place of action before being punished and sent to the kitchen to work for the day.

I had been luckily enough not to be one of those kids as either Luke, Will or Annabeth were with me, guiding me to the right places on time. It mostly Will, though I trusted him more than Annabeth and luke combined

I had to admit, this camp really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The instructors kept us on our toes and made each session enjoyable, while making sure we were learning something. Although Chiron, who took the archery lesson quite often, seemed to give up on teaching me the sport, after I had managed to miss the target completely and get my arrow stuck in his tail.

And I'll admit, that wasn't the only time I had managed to miss the target. At one point, my arrow flew in the opposite direction of the target and sailed toward Clarisse and her gang, who had been walking past the archery range at the time.

They had only just managed to duck in time, and I had ended up the victim of their glares for the rest of the I wasn't complaining, the look on Clarisse's face was priceless.

But while archery was defiantly my weak point, I seemed to be fine when it came to swords. Okay, Maybe I was a little better than fine, but no matter how natural I was with it. I was nervous about using them, so I stummbeled.

Anyway back to the sword fighting lessons, I had been pleased to find that Luke was the instructor for many of the cabins, as he was the best sword master the camp had seen in 100 years, well that's what Annabeth told me, and to be honest, I think she might have a slight crush on him so I think her opinion was slightly biased.

But hey after seeing his skills with a blade, I'd have to say what she said was true. I remember the first lesson I had with him, and how much pity my other cabin mates had looked at me with when I had been left without a partner and had to pair with him.

"Chris, thank you for volunteering," I walked up to where Luke was standing in the middle of the arena, standing in front of us. I had to cope with the murmurs of pity and the whispered apologies as I made my way up to him.

"Right, today we will be working on basic defence and offensive moves before moving onto the difficult stuff, seem fair?" After very few people nodded in agreement to his words, Luke started the lesson by demonstrating what he wanted everyone to do. On me.

"Keep up Chris" He'd say.

"Don't let your guard down. Lunge. Okay now block." But every time I seemed to do something wrong and by the time Luke called for a break, I was covered in bruises and I knew I'd feel more than half of the hits he had landed on me in the morning.

"Cheer up Chris, you did well," I looked up at Luke through narrowed eyes in an attempt to look angry at him, but it only seemed to make him laugh. "I'm serious; most people would be in the infirmary by now."

He led me over to the water fountain and I watched as he grabbed two cups of water and passed one to me. I drank half of the water in the cup in one breath before closing my eyes and leaned back against the wall that the fountain was up against. I smiled at how good the water had felt as it travelled down my throat.

"You've got five minutes before I call everyone back" Luke smiled at me before walking away back toward the center of the arena once more, before pulling out his sword and started to twirl it in wide arches.

I looked down at my cup and I lifted the cup to above my head and tipped it upside down. Instantly, I felt refreshed as the water came in contact with the top of my head. By the time I had walked back over to Luke I had a huge grin plastered across my face.

"What's got you so happy?" He had asked me

"No clue, but I feel great." And it was true, all of the pain that Luke had so kindly granted me during his beating, had completely disappeared, and now I felt absolutely amazing. Luke looked at me oddly, like he couldn't believe how quickly my mood had changed.

"Are you going to continue the lesson or not?" Luke blinked at me for a few seconds before turning around slowly to face the front of the arena and called everyone back to him.

"Okay, well like I promised we are going to be working on more difficult moves now and I'd like to show a disarming move. I'd just like to warn you, that even experienced sword masters have trouble with this. So don't be upset if you don't get it the first time round." He motioned for me to get into position before demonstrating in slow motion, and just as I thought it would, the sword flew out of my hand.

"Now in full speed," I picked up my sword and only just had enough time to step out of the way of Luke's attack. I raised my sword in defence and suddenly, it seemed like my body had been taken over by someone else, someone more experienced with a sword. I was meeting every one of Luke's blows and even managed to get in a few hits at him myself. I twisted Luke's sword around just like he had done to me and sent his sword flying to the ground.

Luke stared at his sword for a while completely stunned and it seemed that everyone in the arena had the same reaction as him.

"Was that okay?" Luke looked up at me wide eyed, completely stunned that I had managed to disarm him.

"Okay?" He asked, "That was amazing. Do it again." I did as he ordered but like the first time, it was my sword that ended up on the ground.

"Beginner's luck?" I offered as an explanation but Luke didn't seem convinced.

"Again." With out waiting for a response he attacked, this time he wasn't holding back, he was fighting as if it was a fight to the death. I met he's strong blows with weak and unsure blocks. Soon, Blood was drawled, My Blood. It was just a small cut on my shoulder, but I got angry, that was unnecessary. I started fighting back although they were strong I was still holding back I was still unsure. That was untill he landed another hit, this time it was a larger cut on my forearm.

Then I was making full on blows and blocks. This lasted for fifteen minutes and luke and I managed to draw a crowed almost everyone in camp was there. They all came too see the best sword fighter in camp be matched by a 11 year old girl, on her first lesson. I didn't care, to me it was just Me, my sword, and luke with his.

In the last fifteen minutes he managed to land one more hit on me, while i got back at him. In that fifteen minutes, I broke his nose, made a long cut across his shoulder and thigh, calf, and arm. The reason nobody stopped us was because Chiron was at Olympus Today, and no one else dared to get in between this fight.

Luke and I were sweating and sore. Finally I saw an oppritunity to end this and I took it. I kick his legs out from under him and he fell as his word when flying up in the air. I caught it. It was over. I was in a sorta painful split with my sword pointed at his heart and hid sword pointed at his throat.

I asked heavily breathing, "Do you yield?"

Luke started looking from the swords to me, when he realized he was defeated he said, "I yield."

With a nod I stood up plated his sword in the ground. I looked around the ring Everything was silent. Even the normally chirping birds and I got the feeling that someone else other than the campers were watching the fight. Then Will started clapping everyone followed and soon it was a full blown applause. I smiled victoriously and held my sword to the air.

As Luke and I were in the infirmary Will was extremely happy about the fight. As he was patching me up he claimed that Luke needed to be beaten in sword fighting as his ego seems to get bigger and bigger every time he wins a duel.

Ever since then, Luke has been watching me more carefully than before and seemed to follow me wherever I went. It was like he was expecting anything. But what I don't know.

On a lighter note, I have been spending a lot of time with Annabeth and Will, mainly Will, a lot. Mostly they help me with my Ancient Greek, but I sometimes find myself sitting with them at campfires. But I hadn't really seen Grover in while, although I had seen him at the campfire the other day, and we had spent the entire night catching up with each other. I was afraid of losing him, he really was a good friend, and it was because of him that I was alive. That night was a little restless.

Once again, I dreamed.

I was surrounded by dark, damp stone walls. Nothing about this place seemed familiar, so I couldn't have been here before, and something told me I shouldn't be here. A huge black hole spread out across the floor, barely leaving enough floor space for someone to stand comfortably on. I stepped towards the edge carefully wanting to look down into the black abyss. Something about this place set me on edge, something evil was in that pit, I could feel it.

I leant towards the edge hoping to see what was in there, but ended up nearly slipping into the pit. It was as though there was some kind of unknown force trying to drag me down into the black depths. I heard shuffling coming from somewhere behind me. Spinning around quickly, I faced a long dirt path that led up to where I was standing. I squinted into the darkness that surrounded me hopping to find what had made that noise. I looked around panicking as I saw someone walking towards me. I found I small alcove that was just big enough to fit me. I slipped into the small gap and stood still, hoping that whoever was coming wouldn't notice me.

Luck seemed to be on my side, as whoever entered the room walked right past me making no indication that they knew I was there. I watched as the person made their way towards the edge of the giant pit. I concentrated on this stranger, hoping to figure out who they were. But all I could tell was it was a boy.

"You summoned me, my Lord?" I knew that voice, but how did I know it?

"So, you finally arrive." A deep, hoarse voice rumbled from the pit.

"I apologise my Lord, but I had to make sure everyone was asleep before arriving here. I didn't want anyone becoming suspicious."

"It does not matter. You are here now. But if you ever arrive late once more, I swear that when I get out of this blasted place. I will make sure that you are severely punished."

"Of course my Lord, it will not happen again."

"Good. Now, onto more important matters. Why don't you tell me about your day. "

"My day my Lord?"

"Yes, your day. Is there something wrong with your hearing, or is your brain too small to make sense of such a simple question?"

"O-of course not my Lord." The boy stuttered. "I was just wondering why you would like to know about my day."

"Reliable sources tell me that you had been beaten today in sword fighting. Is this true?" I saw the boy visibly gulp.

"Yes my lord."

"And on their first day of training as well, it made me so upset to learn that the best swordsman was beaten by a boy on his first lesson."

"Actually my lord, it was a girl." The boy looked down at his feet. The silence that appeared soon after that sentence seemed endless.

"What?" The voice snapped.

"I said it was a-"

"I know what you said! A girl? You were beaten by a girl?"

"Yes my Lord."

"How could you let such a thing happen?" The boy seemed to move away from the pit slightly.

"It might have been beginners luck or something, but she couldn't beat me again." He lied.

"She shouldn't have beaten you at all! What am I going to do when the best sword master our cause has is beaten by a little girl? How will we accomplish what we have had planned for months, when you keep getting beaten?"

"It was just the once my lord. It won't happen again." He lied again.

"Your right it won't. You are going to kill her as soon as time permits."

"Kill her, my Lord?"

"That's what I said wasn't it? Any threat to this operation must be eliminated."

"But what if I can get her to join us? I think that with the proper training she could become extremely dangerous to our foes."

"Hmm. That might work. But what if she doesn't comply? What will you do then?"

"I'd have to kill her."

"And what if she ends up being useless? What about then?"

"I'd have to kill her."

"It seems that no matter what will happen you will have to kill her. If that-"

"But what if she isn't useless and does want to join us?"

"DO NOT INTERUPT ME!" The ground around us seemed to shake under the voice's anger. The boy went down onto his knees and bowed his head.

"I apologise my Lord. Please forgive me." The voice ignored the boy's pleas and carried on as if nothing had happened."

"If you end up killing her anyway, what is the point of keeping her alive?"

"I don't know my Lord."

"Just as I thought. So, what are you going to do?"

"Kill her."

"Good boy, now before we move onto more pressing matters, I believe we have an audience."

The boy spun around to face me, his hand going to the sword strapped to his waist.

I shot upright in my sleeping bag, drenched in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. That had seemed so real. I hopped it wasn't real, but if it was...

I tried falling back to sleep, but sleep wouldn't find me. I lay awake for hours replaying my dream over and over in my head. Sleep finally found me, just as the first few rays of sunlight shone through the thin curtains.

I don't have much of a life outside of school and camp, which is kind of sad. Anyway REVIEW!
