Malcolm POV

I settled into my armor and placed the blue horse plume helmet into my head. It had either gotten smaller or my head inflated or something. My armor jingled whenever I moved. I felt like Santa. I walked over to the forest and stood in the front. I saw Ella weirded out by the armor. She had a red horse plume on her head and Pollux was there, trying to help her get settled in her armor. Luna stood in the opposite side of Ella; talking with Will. Annabeth was next to me; talking to Percy about the plan. I heard enough to know that the flag was in the clearing; guarded by Nico, and Jason. Percy was going to join them; to finish the Big Three thing. Leo was also guarding with them. Half of the Athena kids were on defensive, and one half on offense. I was offense. The Hephaestus cabin planted traps then divided left and right, to try to confuse the enemy. Percy would sneak away at one point to get the flag. Chiron galloped our way and I watched Luna look in horror.

"Okay campers, you know the rules. No killing alive"

I heard Clarisse grumble. "I can't just kill the little twerps a little?" she asked.

"Clarisse; you sounded like a mixture of Dionysus and Ares" Chiron said. The Dionysus cabin looked momentarily offended. Clarisse grumbled again. Chiron blew his conch-thingy and the game began. Ella and half of the Ares cabin charged towards me. Like an angry cattle of ugly cows. Except Ella. Then I thought about Hera. I was like offending her when I said that… Ella engaged into combat with me. I kinda felt special but I shrugged it off. I remembered how good of a fighter she was. I took out my knife. She raised her eyebrow at me.

"You, Hit a girl? PUH-Lease! I thought you followed rules" she smirked at her choice of words. I raised my eyebrows at her. Suddenly Clarisse butt in.

"This is a game, not a love fest" she stomped towards the flag. Ella took out her golden knife. Engraved on the blade was Dionysus in elegant letters. Must have been from her charm bracelet.

"Ready Mary?" she said using her father's name for me. She smirked. She lunged at me. The ADHD coursed through my veins and I felt in power. I dodged at thrust my hand towards her. She was right. I couldn't hit a girl. A perfectly innocent girl. Especially when it's the girl you like. Ella smirked. Pictures of warriors- tortured by Dionysus flashed through her eyes. I shuddered. She was trying to drive me insane- just like Pollux had been teaching her. Finally; I screamed. She had been successful. Ella ran past me, her shoulder brushing past mines. She was going for the flag. I tried to go after her, I couldn't. I started running around; having no idea what was my problem. Leo looked at me. He knew what was going on. Pollux had made him go mad once. I held my hands to my ears making an ear-splitting scream. Leo groaned; and put on …earmuffs? Okay….he walked over to me; put his hands on my shoulders.

"Chill" I heard him say. I bit his arm, to run. Ella looked over to me. She ran in front of me.

I bit my lip-shaking. I heard the conch. I had noo idea who won. Ella closed her open palm. It allowed me to think again. I stopped shaking. I noticed above her head- she had gotten the flag. we; had lost. I thumped her.

"Please don't drive me mad next time" I said harshly and turned on my heel; to head to the campfire. I heard her sigh.

"Will do….Please excuse me" she said running past me. I swear I saw tears in her eyes. I felt guilty all of a sudden. I was harsh. I mentally slapped myself. Great job; Malcolm; now she hates you too! Remember what I said about Aphrodite messing with my life? Yeah- that was a perfect example. I trudged to my cabin, not the campfire. Luna was going to kill me for not being at the campfire. Oh well; I was already as dead as it is. I got into the top bunk, but the gray bed sheets over my head and closed my eyes.

….

The next morning…Guess what? Luna cornered me and demanded me for an explanation. I just told I felt bad. This was half-true since that bad is like a homophone…. I'm boring you aren't I? I grabbed some random book from the Athena Library Room in our cabin. It was a HUGE room with gray carpet and huge bookshelves that reached the wall. There was also a ladder if you ever needed to get a book from the top. Basically; we're the Camp Library. I hid behind a bunk bed as I saw Ella come in.

"Hey anyone? I kinda need assistance or whatever to get a book!" I almost stood up, but I noticed at the last second and stopped myself. I saw her shrug and go the couch. I saw her looking intently at the tulip vase on the glass table. She suddenly opened her hand, and took out a grape. She munched on it. I remember the second day of camp when she had shown me what she was able to do. Suddenly; Annabeth came in.

"May I help you Ella?" she asked looking up from her book. Ella looked at her; surprised.

"Yeah; can you help me find a book?"

"Well, I dunno; can I?"They both smiled. Annabeth took the name of the book and half-jogged to the middle shelf. The middle shelf was all about Fairytales and Poems. She thanked Annabeth and walked out. Annabeth to; walked out after her. I came out from hiding, cramped. That was REALLY uncomfortable. I left my book on the table and ran out the door to look for Ella. Finally; I found her-Reading.

"Hi" I said uncomfortably rubbing the back of my head. She looked at me and nodded.

I sat next to her. She flinched. "Look, I'm sorry…." I began. She held up her hand and smiled at me.

"m'kay. Past forgotten; now what are you doing here?"

"To say sorry…."

"Sorry for what?" she asked as if she had forgotten everything. I shook my head to say never mind and walked away to go meet Luna in Arts & Crafts.
