I do not own PJO. Why would I be on Fanfiction?
Eric POV
After everyone had gone to sleep I took Tostey out for his nightly piss.
He's normally a pretty calm dog but as soon as we got out of the building his demeanour changed. The hairs on the back of his neck started sticking up and he was growling like crazy. He was staring at What first appeared to be an empty space but when I looked closer I saw it.
I ran back into the hotel we were staying in and woke them up, Skylar and Clara were up almost immediately but for a kid of the sun Kerry was a pretty heavy sleeper.
Finally, I had them all up and alert. "There's a monster outside the hotel, I think it's a chimera!" Skylar swore loudly and Kerry quickly got her medical supplies ready.
I had a feeling we were going to need them.
We walked outside and there it was. The surprising thing was that it was nowhere near as angry as usual.
Sure it was grotesque and all but it wasn't about to kill us with fire.
I wasn't sure if that was good or not.
Clara pulled out her sword and lunged for it. She managed to actually get her knife into one of its necks but she was thrown back.
Clara POV
My head felt foggy and I couldn't think straight after being thrown back but I knew I had to get up.
Skylar and Kerry went at it from different sides and finally managed to kill it.
I nearly dropped back down onto the ground but Skylar caught me. Kerry came over and examined my head. "Just a concussion." She said like I didn't already know. She gave me a pain reliever tablet and some ambrosia and I felt a lot better.
I didn't stop leaning on Skylar though.
Soon we were back in the hotel room but looking at us I saw that none of us wanted to go to sleep. Suddenly, I remembered the game room in the hotel.
I smirked and told my plan to the others.
Hopefully it wouldn't be locked.
I was still a bit unsteady on my feet but Skylar helped a lot. We got into the game room fine and looked around for what to pick. There weren't any arcade games, mostly just board games.
We were looking around for what to pick when I saw Monopoly. With a crow of delight I picked it up.
I hadn't played this since I got to camp.
Everyone else seemed happy to play although Skylar seemed a bit confused. We explained the basic rules to her and she seemed fine.
I picked the hat, Eric picked the dog, Skylar picked the horse and Kerry chose the iron.
I was ready to dominate.
Kerry POV
Eric was killing us all.
Not literally, that would be creepy, but in Monopoly.
I had landed in jail 6 times already and almost all my money was gone. Clara was doing a bit better, she had 6 houses around the board and still had a bit of money left.
Skylar on the other hand was already bankrupt.
She just sat watching us and cheering on Clara. It was the first time I'd see her so relaxed whilst being awake.
The game ended and of course Eric won. We were just discussing what to play next, eyeing up the twister board, when the hotel manager burst in.
"GET TO BED NOW, YOU FILTHY RATS!"
Clara walked up and I was expecting her to apologise but instead she managed to coax the guy into leaving.
Of course, charmspeak.
We had a quick discussion on whether we should go back up but none of us really wanted to so we stayed.
Eric set up the twister board, proclaiming himself the spinner and we got going.
Being in training, we were all pretty athletic so it was a close match. Clara got out first after losing her footing.
After that it was almost impossible to decide who would be the winner. Me and Skylar were both flexible and neither of us were giving up.
I was getting easier movements than her so I thought I would be the winner when I managed to get over cocky and twist my ankle.
It wasn't a bad twist and with some Ambrosia and nectar it would be alright by the morning but I was still pretty pissed.
I had lost the game.
Skylar POV
None of us were really sure what to do now. It was 3 in the morning and breakfast didn't open till 7. We knew the chances of a monster attack were low and we could just sleep with a guard but none of us felt comfortable doing that.
I searched the shelf until I found a small box titled The Yes or No Game. "How about this guys?" I said, intrigued. I hadn't played any of these games and I found it really fun.
Everyone agreed and once the rules had been explained I smiled.
Maybe I'd win 2 games in a row.
Soon, it became apparent that I would NOT be winning this game. It was definitely a cross between Clara and Kerry, Eric however was as bad as me.
The estimated time on the game was half an hour but it took almost 3 hours for the two to decide it would be a draw.
We now had just over an hour left and we'd all won one game each.
Who was going to be the supreme ruler?
Dramatic ending!
I'm really sorry for taking soooooooooooo long to update!
I hope this is enough to appease the Gods.
Review who you want to be the 'supreme ruler' and I'll take that into account.
Autocorrect has been a real bastard today. It changed leaning into Lesbian and Came into Canada. Like WTF!
