Hey, guys…sorry about the long wait… I guess I should explain something. I'm a HUGE procrastinator. HUGE. I procrastinated NaNoWriMo all month. I'm serious. Plus, I have the attention span of… um, well, it's pretty short, and I'm INSANELY forgetful… so…yeah…. Anyways I'm BACK IN BLACK! I HIT THE SAND! Thanks to Guess Who for motivating me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Secretariat or PJO. *Runs off crying* WHYYYYYYY?
Chapter Two:
Hm… I should probably work on a name for this…
Orion's POV
There was nothing in the world that could have been less surprised than I was right now. I had known that this day would come for years.
Jade had been claimed by Apollo.
She was a decent archer, hated my guts, and sang songs at the bonfire with a somewhat okay voice- she had to be a daughter of Apollo.
"Hail Jaden Townsland, daughter of Apollo." Chiron said.
Not on your life, bub. There was no way I could bow down to that- um… I'm running out of insults…Well, you get the point.
I decided to head down to the stables and get some Pegasus training. When I arrived at the stables, I found my Pegasus, or, the one that I used- I didn't really have ownership of it yet.
"Red!" I called out. I named him after what they originally called Secretariat, because he's insanely fast.
Red appeared in front of me.
"Hey, bud. Want a carrot?" He whinnied with that 'Well, DUH!' attitude in response and I fed him his reward.
I heard Chiron's hooves trotting up behind me and turned to face him
"Ah, Orion. Are you ready for Pegasus training?" He asked.
"Yeah, Chiron." I replied
"Good, because this is your final exam. You will be tested on everything you have learned throughout your Pegasus training." I stood there in shock.
"Bu-but I wasn't told about this!" I exclaimed.
"Exactly."
Sky's POV
"Take 'em out, Sky!" Someone yelled.
I cracked my whip against my enemy's helmet. He swung his sword at my life at my right kneepad, and I fell to the ground. I felt pressure against my Adam's apple.
"Surrender." He demanded.
"Not on your life." I replied, rolling to the side and curling my whip against his leg, sweeping him to the floor, and whipped his sword out of his hands.
"Oscar has been disarmed! The match goes to Skyler Night!" The ref said, throwing my hand in the air. My cabin mates cheered.
All of a sudden, I heard a boy scream.
"What the- AH!" A Pegasus crashed into me.
And, then, there was… no light.
Sometime later
A voice came into my darkness.
"Hey," It stated, "wake up,"
Nah… I think I'll sleep some more.
"Wake up!" It said again.
"Agh… Thalia!" The voice faded out, and I could hear faint voices in a conversation, and then footsteps
"CLEAR!" A voice screamed. All of a sudden, I was jolted awake.
"Who? What? Wh-OW!" I asked energetically. Literally. The smell of ozone filled my nose.
"Ah, finally. You're awake! You were out for a few hours after that Pegasus crash. The owner of the Pegasus is still out. You guys were bruised up pretty bad, but Parker managed to fix you guys up." The voice, which turned out to be my twin, Star, explained.
I decided to try to stand up. "Hey, hey, take it easy!" Star exclaimed.
"It's fine, Star." I told her.
"All right… Well, if you're up, you have to come check this out!" Star said excitedly.
"Okay." I followed her outside of the infirmary.
"Whoa… that's insane!" I exclaimed.
Hehehehehehehhehehe! I left you with a cliffhanger! I am evil… hehehe… Anyways, guess what today (Today being the day I wrote this, not the day it was posted- I gotta get this edited, and all that) is? MY BIRTHDAY! I'll give you ten bucks if you can guess how old I am.
