Malcolm POV
I was dead worried about Ella. Why had she collapsed? Behind my cabin? It didn't add up. When everyone left the room, I scooted the chair close to her bed.
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
She laughed then wobbled her legs "Fine I guess" I chuckled and hung my head. In the movies, this where the hero admits he loves the girl and they live happily ever after.
Question was: Would that be the case?
At the same moment, she had sat up and hugged me.
"Thanks for helping me Malcolm" she whispered so it was barely audible. I was completely speechless at her hug. I simply nodded and smiled as warmly as I could without drooling about her. Luna had been playing around with her hair. She now had her usual ivy headband and her goldilocks curls hung around. She had khaki Bermudas that were still dirty and her camp half blood shirt 5 sizes to big on her. But she looked like a million drachmas to me. I stood frozen after she hugged me. She stretched and lied back down and fell asleep almost immediately. She started to snore lightly. I smiled at her calm face. Aphrodite popped up. She giggled at my position. I was like 8 inches from her face. I blushed furiously. She smiled amused and waved her hand. She had replaced Ella's outfit with white shorts and a simple lilac colored shirt and a white button top on top. It was unbuttoned and you could see the shirt underneath. Her nails had been done to- the same lilac color. A pair of white flats lay of the floor.
Scratch one million drachmas- two million drachmas.
"Uhh…" I started to say. But she held up a hand and shut me up.
"Her outfit annoyed me" she shrugged and popped out the room.
I put my head on the chair and began to drift asleep.

Pollux POV
I smiled as I leaned against the door frame. Malcolm did like Ella. Both had fallen asleep. I smiled. But Ella kept fidgeting as if she were having a nightmare.
"Malcolm" she panicked. It was in a shrill, nervous whisper "Don't…no…You can't join Kronos..." she continued. Tears streamed down her face. There that name was again. The base cause of the murder of my brother. Then it stopped. She was waking up. I walked into the hall. She yawned. I was peering from the corner. She had realized her tears. She wiped them away and laughed nervously. She looked over to him. She sighed as if she had remembered an unhappy fantasy. She realized her new clothes.
"How?" she started. Then she grinned.
Ella POV
(Crush, Crush, Crush: Paramore. ILY Paramore!)
I got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all
…..(Lol I skipped this)
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this
How? How did Malcolm always seem to be looking at me? With those gorgeous gray eyes….. For the first time, I took a glance at Malcolm's Beads. He told me he had been in the war. I stared at one of the latest- Mt Olympus with names floating around. There was Percy, Michael Yew, Will, and Malcolm and a ton more. (Is that what it is?) His hair neatly fell over his face and his fists were clenched. He wore a smile plastered on his face. I stood up and pulled on his arm. He didn't budge.
Talk about heavy sleeper.
I shoved the hair out of his face and poked him again. He moved his shoulders uncomfortably and frowned. I poked his stomach. AGH! For an Athena kid he worked out! I felt an urge to see his abs. I smirked as I picked up a pen. I opened it and put it inside his ear. Malcolm flinched and finally woke up.
"Have a nice sleep, sleeping beauty?" I joked
"Funny" he said.
"Malcolm…?" he looked up at me immediately.
"Yeah?"
"You, me, Training- today" I said.
He shrugged. "I've gotten better"
"So?" I asked
"Sure" he grinned at me. I pulled the collar of his shirt and he yelped.
"Can we train right now?" I suddenly asked. He nodded. We walked side by side to the arena. When we got there Malcolm held up a hand to hold up. He grabbed the silver knife from his sleeve and put it on the ground. He pulled off his shirt.
I nearly died.
Underneath his shirt was a perfectly sculpted 6-pack.
I clicked the sword charm on my bracelet. Suddenly, it turned into a 3 foot celestial bronze sword. Engraved in elegant violet was: Dionysus
The sword was celestial bronze (as I just said) with swirls of imperial gold. The handle was a gold and silver ivy plant. It fit into my stance perfectly. I smiled and gracefully threw it in the air. Malcolm gaped at me. He walked over to me and looked at my sword in awe
"Is that…Imperial gold?" he asked, clearly stunned.
I nodded. He took a step back and raised his knife. Unthinking, my eyes wandered to his eyes. I quickly darted them back to my sword.
"Don't go easy on me, darling" I said sweetly.
Malcolm rolled his eyes "Bring it on, sweetheart" my mind stop cooperating with me after he said Sweetheart.
He called me sweetheart!
Sweetheart….
I snapped back into reality and my eyes flickered to him. I took a step forward and clashed my weapon against his. Malcolm was like a machine. He was beating me.
But I had a few tricks up my sleeve.
I took a step back and grinned at him. He wore a twisted expression of confusion and amusement.
Gods, he looked cute.
I tapped a finger lightly on my sword and instantly; taking effect; vines grew around Malcolm's feet. A few vine snakes slithered around me. Malcolm grimaced at the vines. He looked at me and his eyes gleamed with a plan. I advanced and the snakes followed. The vine grew over anything they touched. I was going to disarm him when he grabbed my wrist and strangled me to the floor. The vines stretched over to me. So, that was his plan. At the same moment, Malcolm grabbed his knife and cut himself free.
He pressed the knife to my neck and the snaked wrapped around him. I giggled. I smiled and the vines vanished into nothingness. I was covered in sweat. I waved at him and walked to the showers.
