CHAPTER 2
I wake up later that morning to the warm sun shining off the water and onto my face warming my body. As I try to get up I feel Xavier's strong arms around me holding me to him. I squirm and kick trying to get away.
"Xavier! It's time to get up or we will be late for breakfast! You know how Percy gets when we are late… For anything, especially training!" I smile "And since someone didn't want to get their lazy butt out of bed early this morning, we don't get any extra practice." I mutter to him jokingly.
He opens one of his eyes looking down at me. "Fine. I'll get up. But you owe me for waking me up at 5:30 this morning μικρή φωτιά" (means small fire in Greek)
He smiles letting me go and walks over to a pile of dirty cloths looking froe a shirt to wear. After he finds one he smells it making a face and puts it on. He turns to me, "There. Now I'm ready. Are you happy?"
"Ewww! Xavier your disgusting! Then again…" I give him a devious grin and a small ball of flame appears in my hand. His eyes widen and he starts to back away from me down the pier.
"Isis. You better not! Nico will be so pissed if you do!" he exclaims as he stumbles back. He catches himself and steadies himself. I smile innocently at him as he reaches the end of the pier.
"I think you need a bath Xavier." I giggle and hold my hand to my mouth blowing the flame at him. He gives out a shout and falls into the water causing a large splash.
I fall back onto the pier shaking with laughter as his head pops out of the water glaring at me. I feel his wands wrap around my ankles pulling me closer to the water.
"NO! No, no, no, no, no! I'm sorry! No! Please!" I scream as he laughs pulling me off the pier slowly as I try to crawl away.
He almost has me off the pier as I hear Percy yelling for us to stop goofing around. I try to call out to him as Xavier pulls me into the cold water. I scream at the cold and splash him as I swim to shore.
"Isis! Xavier! I swear to the Gods in Olympus if you aren't in that arena in TEN minutes you are so dead!" Percy yells
"I know. I know. We're going!" I yell back climbing out of the water. He turns around and I stick my tongue out at the back of his head. "Kill joy." I mutter getting out of the water with Xavier close behind me.
"Well I better go change if I'm going to be dry for training today." He says "Unless you could do that flame thing you do to change on me." He looks at me, his black hair flopping in his eyes as he smiles. Gods I love that look on him.
I shake my head. "Not going to happen. I will see you in the arena. Be prepared to get your ass handed to you." I smile and flame surrounds me. After the flames die down I am wearing armor made of black dragon scales and polished silver. I hold my sword in my right hand and my jet black hair is in a ponytail.
I smile and turn to him "Hurry up and change. I want to win again."
He laughs and rolls his eyes running into his cabin. I leave him behind, running to the arena to start training. I was one of the best fighters in camp. The only person better than me was Annabeth. I liked her and all but she can get annoying. When I first arrived at camp everyone thought I was either a daughter of Ares or Athena. No one thought of Hades. And why would they? I'm not all doom and gloom. Plus, if I was a daughter of Ares, I would be stuck in a cabin with Clarisse. Ewww, Clarisse.
I arrive in the arena with three minutes to spare and I look at the leader board. I was still in second. Damn it all to Tartarus. All I have to do is beat Annabeth. How in Hades am I supposed to beat her in her own game? Oh well, I've got nothing else to lose.
"Hey Annabeth! How about round 2? I still don't thing you played fair last time." I smile jogging up to her.
She smiles down at me. She is still slightly taller than me. An advantage and disadvantage on my part. "Not satisfied with just beating almost everyone else here?" she sneers.
I walk around her "No, I'm not quite satisfied with second place. You should know that feeling." She laughs and I throw myself at her, sword ready, she blocks my strike with her own sword.
"You should really work on your strategy Isis. Your technique is slipping." She pushes me away and we circle each other looking for a way to attack.
"Well if YOUR boyfriends brother would stop being so lazy and actually get up in the morning, It would be better!" I swing at her hand, I almost disarm her but she moves to quickly, and it causes me to lose my footing. I fall to my knees and I look up at her as she kicks my sword away. She looks down at me knowing I've been defeated.
"Are you done yet? Or are you still up to fight?" she smiles holding a hand out to help me up. That was a big mistake. I take her hand and twist it behind her back in one swift move; I pull a dagger from my boot and put it up to her throat. She drops her sword and raises her hands up in defeat, I kick away the sword.
"I don't know Annabeth. Am I done?"
I smile in triumph knowing I have her beat. I can't believe it! I just beat THE BEST fighter in camp! OH MY GODS! She lets out a sigh and I let her go. The others in the arena are looking at the scene gawking at me in disbelief.
"What? D-did I do something wrong? Annabeth, why are they staring?" I ask in concern that I did something wrong.
"No Isis. You didn't do anything wrong. You did something amazing! You beat me. Of all people!" she smiles at me with pride in her eyes. "Good job."
I then hear Xavier coming up behind me and he is smiling. "Wow. Just wow. Did she let you win Isis?"
I look to Annabeth and she shakes her head. "No. She beat be on her own. Like I said, good job Isis, I'm proud of you." She turns to the rest of our group. "Get back to work! It's no big deal!" she turns picking up her sword and walks away.
Xavier stands beside me and puts an arm around my shoulders. "I have to admit, I knew you were good, I just didn't know you were this good." He goes to stand in front of me. "Now, are you ready to deal with me?" He asks smirking
I smile and ready my feet. "Bring it on water boy."
