A/N: I am SO sorry I haven't updated in a while just finished school for the year and I have been sick so I have been sleeping or away from my computer for the past few days, now for me to stop complaining about my life and give you a story.
Chapter 3: Chris and Clarisse
Chris and Clarisse are sparring in the arena while everyone else is either in class or teaching class because they both don't have to work today.
"Hey Clarisse how 'bout whoever wins gets a kiss?" Chris said. He jabbed at her with his sword and she blocked with her 4th electric spear from her father (A/N: I will make the story of the destruction of the third one after I finish this one).
"Okay, one, we both know that I am going to win, and two, either way we both get a kiss because it takes two to tango babe." Clarisse said and shot a bolt of lightning at Chris, which he rolled aside to dodge.
"Okay, then let's see your awesome skills sweet cakes." Chris said.
"Sweet cakes?" Clarisse asked and dropped her spear to her side.
Chris took this time to strike. He dropped his sword to cause a distraction which obviously works because Clarisse looked at the sword then looked back up in time to see Chris tackling her to the ground. He pinned as soon as she fully hit the ground. "I win," he said.
"Yeah I guess you did Hermes boy." Clarisse said.
"So do I get my prize now?" Chris asked.
"Fine," Clarisse said and kissed him.
"It's not like you don't like it," Chris said between kisses. Travis and Connor were coming to spar as they had finished teaching archery to the new kids. They stopped in their tracks when they saw what was happening in the middle of the arena. They both looked at each other and smiled menacingly.
"Group hug!" Travis and Connor yelled, and then they ran towards Clarisse and Chris, picked them up and got in a bunch for a group hug.
"Travis! Connor! PUT US DOWN NOW OR I SWEAR TO THE FUCKING GODS THAT I WILL SEND YOU STRAIGHT TO HADES WHERE YOU CAN SPEND THE REST OF YOUR GODS DAMNED LIFE IN HELL!" Clarisse yelled.
"Okay, one, we have to make this a big, long hug! And two technically we would be dead not alive in hell" Connor yelled.
"Oh now look at the person who is acting like a child of Athena now," Clarisse said exaggeratingly.
"Well if we put you down you clearly made your point that you would kill us, and that would make us dead and since we don't want to be dead we aren't going to put you down," Travis said.
"Come on bros can you just put us down or tie us up and then I can try to calm down Clarisse," Chris said.
"Well the key word there is 'try', and one of us can't hold you both while the other gets the rope and ties it on," said Travis.
"I can hold Clarisse. I don't want her to murder you because that would mean jail or Chiron sends her away to some faraway place and then I don't get to see her for a while," Chris said.
"Well we are all children of Hermes here besides Clarisse and as children of Hermes we know not to trust one another. I don't even trust Travis and we are brothers by both mother and father, so why would we trust you?" Connor asked.
"I don't know why you would just please do." Chris pleaded.
"I have an idea! How about you just let us go so I can kill you!" Clarisse yelled.
"Nah, we're okay I have a better idea," Travis said.
"Would you care to enlighten us dear brother?" Connor asked.
"Oh, Mrs. O'Leary!" Travis yelled and the big hellhound came trotting in. "Hey girl I need you to hold these two while we go find some rope and tie them up, okay?"
Mrs. O'Leary licked Travis' face, tackled Clarisse and Chris, and held them down. Travis and Connor went to go find some rope. They went to the stables to see if there was any spare rope that would usually be used for the Pegasi' lead rope. Percy was just returning with Blackjack from his monthly trip to visit his mom. "Hey Percy, do you know where any spare rope is?" Connor asked.
"Uh, yeah but why do you need it?" Percy questioned.
"We were just planning to take Mrs. O'Leary for a walk in Central Park and I don't want her running off to Hades," Travis said.
"Uh huh, and did you take into consideration that she is about as big as a dump truck and probably about ten times your weight," Percy stated and looked at us skeptically.
"Yes, of course that is why we need the rope and probably four Pegasi," said Connor with a grin.
"I am 99% sure you are lying to me but as long as it is not used against me I will tell you where the rope is. What are you using it for?" Percy asked.
"Well we are in a bit of trouble and by using the rope to type up some people we will be out of trouble for a while," Travis replied innocently.
"People? As in more than one so it can't be me?" Percy asked.
"Correct my friend, people," Travis replied.
"Okay, the rope is in the far right corner in the supply closet." Percy said and went back to taking care of Blackjack.
Travis and Connor got the rope and headed back to the arena. A few people had gathered around to see what was going on but once they saw Travis and Connor walk up with the rope and with grins on their faces they knew what was going on and dispersed. With the help of Mrs. O'Leary Clarisse and Chris were quickly tied up back to back and sitting on the ground in the middle of the arena. "Travis! Connor! Untie us right now or so help me gods I will slowly burn you after I have starved and dehydrated you!" Clarisse yelled followed by a string of expletives.
Travis and Connor looked at each other then looked back at Clarisse and Chris and said together, "HELL NO!" Then they proceeded to turn around and walk away.
Once Travis and Connor were out of earshot Clarisse whispered to Chris, "Chris, see if you can reach down into my back pocket and get my switch blade but please be careful because I really don't want a cut back there." Chris reached down was groping for the knife but accidently grabbed Clarisse's butt. "Get your fucking hand off of there! I told you to grab my knife not my ass!"
"Sorry! Sorry! I just can't see down there and it is kind of hard to find your knife when I can't see it and by the way you have a very nice ass," Chris said and Clarisse elbowed him. Chris was finally able to find Clarisse's knife and get it out of her pocket. He gave it to Clarisse and she quickly cut the rope. They got up and looked around for and few hours until dinner came and the Stoll brothers didn't show up. Clarisse asked her siblings if they knew where they were but had no luck of finding out where they went. Chris on the other hand got answers other than "I don't know."
After dinner Clarisse and Chris met up at the arena so Chris could tell Clarisse what he knew.
"Wait, so you're telling me that they went to Ohio for the opening of a new joke shop and won't be back for a week?" Clarisse asked.
"Yeah that's what my siblings said," Chris replied, "but that's good right? It means no Travis or Connor for an entire week."
"Yeah I guess but I am getting tired because it's been a long day so I'll talk to you about this tomorrow, okay?" Clarisse yawned.
"Yeah that's fine," Chris said gave Clarisse a peck on the lips then they turned and walked their separate ways towards their cabins to sleep.
