Chapter 4
Once Alpha arrived in the arena, everyone stopped talking. This happened a lot. Though, he's used to it.
"Can we please talk later?" Percy turned to see Annabeth.
"Talk about what, daughter of Athena? We already did talk earlier." Percy said. Annabeth jumped a bit when Percy called her 'daughter of Athena'. He could read what's in her mind, "Daughter of Athena? Why couldn't be call me by my name?"
"I meant to talk to you about the war strategy." Annabeth said but Percy knew that she was lying.
"We could talk about that during the war meeting." Percy said and walked to Alicia, leaving Annabeth alone for now.
"What does she want from you?" Alicia asked as Percy stood beside her.
"I don't really know but I'm guessing she wants my forgiveness." Percy said.
"And did you fogive her?" Alicia asked.
"Not exactly. I'll explain later. Right now, we got campers to train." Percy replied and Alicia nodded.
"Alright. Pair up, everyone! Let's get down to business!" Omega said to the campers.
The campers paired up and then Andrew said, "I will only participate IF Alpha will be my partner."
'Better for him not to participate then he'll die during the war but what shame would that be? I wouldn't get to torture him.' Percy thought.
"I don't think so, son of Poseidon. I could beat you easily." Alpha said.
"If you could beat me easily, then prove it. Fight me!" Andrew said.
"You asked for it." Alpha said.
But before Andrew could strike, Alpha pinned him on the ground with Alpha's sword on Andrew's neck.
"Hey! That wasn't fair! I wasn't ready yet!" Andrew screamed.
Alpha smirked, still holding the sword on Andrew's neck and said, "A warrior must always be ready."
Alpha let go of the sword and stood up. Andrew thought this was a good opportunity to hit Alpha with Riptide. Andrew swung the sword and Alpha did something that shocked the campers he was training with. Alpha held the sword but there wasn't blood on the sword or his hands. 'He must be invulnerable.' Annabeth thought. Alpha got Riptide out of Andrew's grip and threw it across the room.
"How did you-" Andrew was cut off by Annabeth.
"You're still invulnerable?" Annabeth asked Percy and the campers were wondering about what she said. 'Still invulnerable?' the campers thought.
"As you can see, daughter of Athena. That was part of Chaos' blessing. One of them so I could be invulnerable." Percy said and looked at the campers.
"Cool." Travis said.
"Exteremely cool." Connor corrected.
"Yes, as a matter of fact it is. Now, let's proceed to our training-" Percy got cut off by Andrew who finally got up from the ground and got Riptide.
"We're not yet done here, punk! Don't be such a coward!" Andrew screamed.
"I swear you just sound like Clarisse." Will stated and the campers in the arena started laughing. They knew that Andrew despised Clarisse.
"Don't you ever say that!" Andrew said and looked at the campers.
Once again, just as he was about to look back at Alpha, Alpha got his hidden blade out and slashed at Andrew. Suddenly, all the campers in the arena started laughing. Including Alicia but Percy was just smirking. "Like I said earlier, a warrior must always be ready and let me add this for you, you also must be alert." Percy said.
"Andrew?" Katie said. It wasn't a question though.
"Yes?" Andrew asked also wondering why people were laughing.
"Buy a new pair of jeans. You'll need it." Katie said and started laughing again.
Andrew looked down to see that his pink, yes PINK, boxers with hearts were exposed. His pants were on the ground. Andrew looked at Alpha with a glare and said, "That's the best you can do? Humiliating me in front of the campers?"
"Well, I really did a great job considering that you're blushing." Alpha said with a smirk.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's start with our training now." Alicia said.
"What? Alpha and I aren't done-" Andrew was once again cut off by Alicia.
"NOW!" When Alicia said that, everyone was silent. No one was laughing anymore. Andrew shut up, grabbed his jeans and left the arena.
"And that's why I love you." Percy whispered to Alicia and that made Alicia smile but what he said was still clear to Annabeth. When Annabeth heard that, her heart shattered. 'Because I'm already with someone else.' Annabeth thought of what Percy said to her earlier. So, Percy is with Alicia? Annabeth should have known. Alicia was beautiful. She understood why Percy fell for Alicia.
"Now that that's over, everyone pair up and let's start training!" Percy said and all the campers followed.
They have been training for a while when they heard a horn coming from outside. The campers all dashed out of the arena followed by Percy and Alicia. Once they looked at Half-Blood Hill, they all saw the Roman demigods from Camp Jupiter and the Hunters of Artemis. Thalia walked up to Alpha, who's standing in front of the crowd.
"Well done. You brought them here on the same day. Who helped you?" Alpha asked.
"How did you know we had help, Alpha?" Thalia asked.
"No one would reach the Roman camp without someone helping you." Alpha answered.
Thalia nodded and said, "Apollo helped us."
Chiron galloped from the Big House and was now standing beside Alpha.
"And now since the Roman campers are here, there will be a meeting about the war." Chiron said.
"Thalia," Alpha started, "I want you to train the campers while we're in the meeting."
"Not to be rude or anything but why me?" Thalia asked.
"Yeah! Why her?" Andrew screamed from the crowd.
"Because she doesn't have a big ego." Alpha said and that made Thalia smile so she just nodded.
"Omega." Alpha said.
"Yes, Alpha?" Omega asked as she appeared beside Alpha. That made a lot of campers jump up a little.
"You will come with me for the meeting." Alpha said and Omega nodded.
"Continue with what you were doing, Heroes!" Chiron said loud enough for the whole crowd to hear. Alpha, Omega, Jason, Reyna and the immortal campers of Camp-Half Blood all went to the Big House for the meeting.
