Nico's POV

I can't believe that she actually beat me last night. I looked at my stomach the next morning when I woke up. I had a giant bruise right smack in the middle of my stomach from where Macey had kicked me. Dang, that girl could use a sword. I was kinda a little scared by the fact that tomorrow, we were playing Capture the Flag and she might not end up on my team and beat me in front of the whole camp. The reason I say that she would publicly humiliate me is because I always get put on defense and guard the flag with my mad sword skills. I went to my first camp activity; it was archery. Unfortunately, I got stuck with a bunch of Apollo kids and I looked like a fool. Next, was swords. I practiced really hard just in case Macey wasn't on my team. I practiced against Clarisse, daughter of Ares. I was so nervous that I actually beat her. After sword training was lunch. I didn't eat anything, but I watched Macey and Percy eat. Wow, Macey had more food than Percy did. She then got up and ran to her next activity. Percy sat there by himself and I went over to talk to him.

"So," I asked, "did Macey tell you about last night?"

Percy looked puzzled, "No. What did you do to her? She's not hurt is she?"

Nico looked embarrassed, "Na man. I trained with her last night and she totally kicked my butt." I lifted up my shirt a little to show him the bruise she gave me.

Percy swallowed down a laugh. I could tell he wanted to say, 'I told you she was good with a sword, but you didn't listen did you?' I don't know that those would have been Percy's exact words, but they had to be pretty close.

"Wow, Nico you better hope that she is on your team tomorrow." Percy laughed.

I shot him one of my famous "Son of Hades, death glares" and walked off to my next camp activities. The rest of the day went by really quickly. I was too busy thinking about how not to die of embarrassment tomorrow if she, er, almost killed me. After dinner, I was headed back to my cabin when I noticed Percy and Macey sitting on the edge of the lake. I shadow traveled to underneath a tree and listened to them. Percy was telling her about his powers over water and that she should try to control the water soon too. Percy made a wall of water form in front of them and told Macey that she would need to channel her thoughts if she wanted to control the beautiful, blue liquid. Macey told him that she would try soon. Then, Annabeth walked up to them and Macey told them that she would give them some time alone. With that, Macey got up and walked toward her cabin.

After she had passed me, I came out of the shadows toward her. I caught up to her and said hi. She jumped and spun around. Apparently I was too close when I said hi because when she turned around, we ended up nose to nose. She backed up and apologized for running into me. My gods, she looked seriously pretty in the moonlight.

"Have you ever played capture the flag before?" I asked her.

Macey thought for a second. "Nope. Can't say I ever have."

I looked at her beautiful, ocean colored eyes and said, "Well, I hope that we'll be on the same team."

Macey smiled and said, "I would like that."
