I was ready to rock that bitch when i stepped a foot inside Mrs. Rodriguez's living room.

"Chris!" I yelled, running through the corridors, trying to find him and tell him the news.

I ran through the house, i found Chris in his bedroom, with Gretchen lying on his chest.

"You again?" Gretchen opened her eyes.

"Clarisse!" Chris exclaimed.

"Fucking tired of you, bitch." I gathered all the forces i had, i thought about every single bad thing that had ever happened to me. I thought of the times my dad beat me up, i thought of the Labyrinth, i thought of Chris going insane, and mostly, i thought about Gretchen. Without hesitating, i made my hand into a fist and shoved it on Gretchen's face. "This will teach you not to mess around with me, bitch." I quickly jumped on top of her, holding her arms down on top of her head with one hand, i kept repeatedly punching her. "FUCKING BITCH!" I kept yelling. There was blood on my hand, i could smell it, i could almost taste it. She was screaming and crying and struggling to get out.

"No, Clarisse." A soft voice was heard and someone patted my shoulder. I looked. It was a beautiful woman, with gorgeous long straight blonde hair, green eyes and slightly tanned skin. Her lips were plump and her features were perfect. The personification of beauty.

"Mother?" Gretchen asked in a scanty voice, one eye open and the other one closed, with blood all over her face.

"THE CHARMSPEAK WAS GIVEN TO YOU, BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU DESERVED IT." Her voice was no longer soft, she was almost screaming now, "CLEARLY YOU DON'T. THIS IS NOT THE WAY YOU SHOULD ACT. I AM THE GODDESS OF LOVE AND BEAUTY, YOU ARE A SHAME TO ME. YOU DID THE OPPOSITE OF I DO, YOU DID THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOUR SISTERS DO."

"But mom" she begged, "i love Chris."

"IT DOESN'T MATTER, GRETCHEN. YOU KNEW THEY WERE IN LOVE, YOU KNEW THAT WHAT YOU WERE DOING WAS WRONG. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH YOU. CHRIS IS NOT HAPPY WITH YOU, IT IS NOT TRUE LOVE. AND…USING THAT CHARMSPEAK IN THAT WAY? DO YOU THINK THIS IS RIGHT, GRETCHEN?" She looked stunning even though she was yelling and was raging.

"Mother" Gretchen tried whipping the blood off her face.

"I WOULDN'T USUALLY SUPPORT VIOLENCE, BUT CLARISSE WAS RIGH THIS TIME. YOU THREATENED TO KILL HER?! ITS ENOUGH FOR ME I CAN'T STAND YOU ANYMORE. I HAVE SEEN YOU DO SUCH THINGS! BUT THIS TIME YOU CROSSED THE LINE BY A THOUSAND MILES."

Gretchen just stared at her mother, scared.

"BY THE POWER INVESTED IN ME, APHRODITE, GREEK GODDESS OF LOVE AND BEAUTY, I DISOWN YOU, GRETCHEN ANDREA SMITH. YOU ARE NO LONGER MY DAUGHTER, I TAKE MY BLESSING BACK. ALL OF YOUR POWERS ARE BEING REMOVED NOW."

"MOM, PLEASE, NOO! PLEASE!" Gretchen begged Aphrodite.

"I HAD WARNED YOU, ENOUGH NOW. THIS IS MY FINAL DECISION." I was surprised at how Aphrodite was strict with Gretchen, i wanted to laugh at her.

Chris stared surprised and shocked, i felt relieved. Aphrodite disappeared.

"You were disowned?" Chris asked.

Gretchen burst in tears, "NOOOOO…. MY CHARMSPEAK! MY POWERS!"

"Deserved it." I told her, "And i'm not done with you."

I grabbed her again and started punching her, while she failed at escaping, this girl was half my size. I slapped her, punched her, i'm sure i broke her nose. I even bit her, i felt the taste of her blood in my mouth and then spit it on her face. For a second, i let her hands go so i could choke her with both hands, and she slid out and ran. I quickly stood up and ran after her, being followed by Chris.

"Hey, Clarisse." I heard a familiar voice, "Dad sent us here!" It was Mark, one of my siblings.

"Dad?" Chris asked, "Oh gods, this can't be good."

"After her!" Sherman yelled pointing at Gretchen. Her red hair was a mess now as she ran rapidly from us.

I ran and my siblings ran with me, Chris tried catching up with us, but you know… He just isn't a child of Ares. No one can beat us.

"I got her!" Otrera screamed, as she held Gretchen firmly, we surrounded her, and she let Gretchen go.

Some of my siblings pulled out their knives and spears and pointed them at Gretchen.

"Its your choice now." I sneered, "You won't survive anyways." I told her. "Either you keep walking forward and fall off that cliff or you come at us and die a very painful death. Isn't that ironic?" Many of my siblings chuckled.

I felt like i was honoring my father's name. Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares. I liked the sound of that. Pride filled my body.

"Come on, Clarisse" She begged me, i loved that red tone of blood all smeared across her face. "You can't do that to me."

Mark walked closer to her, she charged at him, and failed, he grabbed his knife and cut her arm, she screamed in pain.

"I think i can." We started walking towards her, circling her.

I felt a fire in me, something strange, a force started growing inside of me, something up my stomach up my throat. And suddenly, my hands were in flames.

I looked at my siblings, "What's this?" Looking at my flaming palms.

"I've heard about it…but, i never imagined it could happen to one of us." Sherman said, startled. I was confused and scared.

"Whats… Whats going on?" Gretchen pointed at my hands.

"You know that being a child of Ares, specially being the head of the cabin, you do possess a degree of his powers. But rarely, he allows his children to possess a small degree of power over fire. He chose you, Clarisse." Sherman explained.

"Dad chose me." I said. "Cool."

I stretched my arm and pointed my hand to the ground, the fire shot from my hand and was surrounding Gretchen.

"Here, let me help" Tereus stuck his sword on the ground, making it crack.

"Clarisse, no." Chris begged me.

"I have to."

In a few seconds, the block that Gretchen was standing on, burned and fell off, collapsing in the water. I could see Gretchen's red hair sinking to the bottom of the lake. She died disowned by her mother and hated by everyone around her, except for Chris.

I looked at Mark and did something i usually wouldn't. I ran towards him and hugged him tight, "Thank you" I whispered, he lifted me off the ground and spun me. My cabin cheered as we hugged.

I noticed Chris. He was sitting on the edge of the cliff, there were tears on his eyes. He stood up and ran inside the house, crying. "No… No…"

"Excuse me, guys, i'll be right back." I told my siblings.
