Well, guys this is my 43rd chapter and the next time I update it'll be when I'm out of school! That will probably mean I'm going into lazy mode, just saying. I'll probably be spending crap loads of my time on my laptop reading fan fiction/watching anime.


Chapter 43

Paul's POV

Apparently the raven headed idiot found his annoying little Pikachu and had told everyone-that's just the guys and those annoying girls-that he found him. If the idiot missed his Pikachu so much why didn't he just take Pikachu with him? Oh, that's right his Pikachu fell in love, now that's just pathetic. If I were him at that moment, I would've just returned my Pokémon into its Poke ball.

I couldn't believe they put me in the same force as that nitwit. The only good thing Ash was good for was being bait. It made it easier to sneak up behind a demon and slit its throat open. I got up and went to go get ready. When I was done I put my headphones in and listened to music while annoying morons around me were chatting about stupid things.

I shoved my stuff into my bag and headed out. I was just glad I didn't have to go to that stupid Halloween Festival that was tomorrow, but if anyone asked me I'll just say I forgot. It could happen because demigods don't make a big deal out of anything 'til last minute. Hopefully, no one tells those annoying girls about that stupid event. They'd want to go and the other members in my force would follow them like lovesick puppies and then I'd be dragged along. Also getting in meant you had to wear some stupid costume.

I put on my black one strap bag. I stuffed my hands into my blue jacket and walked to the entrance/exit of the demigod camp, but before I could make it my phone buzzed. I looked at it, from Dawn. When I read it I groaned outwardly, they found out about the stupid festival.

Change of plans. The girls are going to the fest, but the other guys r comin so u should come ;)

-Dawn ;)

I kicked a nearby rock. I have to attend this gay festival now? I knew I couldn't get out of this because each of us has a magical GPS placed on us, so we'd know where we were no matter what. I walked back to the camp mumbling cusses for every step I took. Most of the campers were setting up for the Halloween Festival, so it would've been a surprise if they didn't find out.

"Yo, Paul! We could use your scary face for the haunted house!" I looked over and saw my eldest brother. He had purple hair just like Lily and I, but he tended be nicer than me and more well liked. Luckily for me I was nothing like that. Being cold and unfriendly was just my thing, but apparently stupid moronic girls thought it was a thrill ride to try and date all the 'bad boys.' Idiots.

"Shut up, Reggie." I growled. Before I could stop him he took a picture of my growling face.

"This is perfect! Thanks, Paul! Oh, and you should come this year." He was so irritating. Unlike me he wasn't a child of Hades. He was part of Asclepius Force, which didn't have a lot of members since most of them aren't born half god. Asclepius, the god of medicine and healing is the son of Apollo and Coronis, but for some reason most of his kids are born normal.

There were only 3 people in the Asclepius Force, including him, a girl, and a guy. Lily (my sister), on the other hand was just an ordinary girl with a mundane father. Yeah, that's right my mother fell in love with 3 men.

"Yeah, I'll do that." I waved him off and went to wherever. A moment later I arrived at a scene of people hectically preparing game stalls. Sheesh, it was just a Halloween Festival. Did they really have to go into a panic mode? An annoying girl named Cecily waved me over, but I pretended I didn't see her. She was one of those 'date all the bad boys' girls.

I walked past the game stalls and to the food ones. They were selling ghost, pumpkin, skeleton, ghoul, demon, etc. themed food. I rolled my eyes. This was so stupid. I was already dreading the next day.

The next day, I went back to the Advanced tent and wasn't surprised to see the guys in stupid costumes.

Gary dressed as some demented demon dyed his hair black with red tips. He was wearing a black shirt with black shorts and a black forked tail coming out of his posterior. He held up a costume for me, a fairy costume? He couldn't be serious! Before I could knock him square in the face with my face he started laughing like, a maniac and held up a ripped up brown shirt with black ripped jeans covered in fake blood.

"Relax; the fairy costume is your little sister's. You're going as a zombie. All we need to do is have someone put some scars and your already terrifying face." Gary chided. I took the costume and got in it in less than a minute. When I came out Drew, dressed as some kind of Robin Hood with face paint for, no doubt my scars I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time.

Drew had on a dark green hoodie with a brown vest on top with a quiver of arrows strapped on. In his hand was a bow, he had on black jeans, and he was wearing dark brown boots. No doubt this was going to get his fans screaming, even the gay ones. He made me sit down for an aggravating half hour putting on scars, blood, and other zombie features.

In the end I looked like a stupid zombie with pale skin, a scar on my cheek, ripped up flesh on my forearm, and Drew made it look like half of my other cheek was missing and showed my jaw. I had to admit I was going to have a fun time in the night scaring the piss out of people now.

When Ash came out of the tent in a red wig in a side ponytail, yellow shirt with red overalls, and blue shorts I almost asked him what was wrong with him. He however caused many people to laugh when he came out.

"I lost a bet to Misty. She said if she could swim faster than me, then I'd have to dress up like her for Halloween, but she agreed to dress like me for Halloween, so I guess it's fair." Ash shrugged. I really didn't get how a guy dressing like a girl was fair compared to a girl dressing up like a guy.

When Jimmy came out dressed as a deformed alien he got his weird attention. His head was neon blue, his arms were neon pink, his legs were neon yellow, and whatever else that wasn't showing was neon green. He wore a neon green shirt with neon yellow shorts and he had 2 blue antennae sticking out of his head. He even went through the liberty of dying his hair neon orange.

I knew the Halloween Festival was going to be a pain in the butt for me.


Lisa's POV

Simon was being checked, so I was helping the girls prepare for the Halloween Festival. Man, I don't know what about Halloween that made me so excited, but whatever it was it was exhilarating. Dawn was ironically going as a mummy. Her hair was in a ponytail, but it was wrapped in a fake spider web with 2 fake spiders and she somehow made a stylish dress out of bandages, so it'd match her legs. She was wearing white tennis shoes and put on white makeup with spider earrings.

Her dress wrapped tightly around her legs and hugged her chest. The fabric covered her arms completely with a few loose pieces. Every so often on the dress was a fake black spider hanging on. I had offered to make her face look like a real mummy's, but she couldn't say 'NO!' fast enough.

Leaf was going as a marionette (AKA puppet, but she likes being specific, so whatever). She had painted black lines at the left and right side of her lip to her chin, lines all the way around her elbows, and around her kneecaps. She had put on a spaghetti strap dress with black and white polka dots with a black belt with a silver buckle on top. Underneath her dress was fishnet stockings, on her head was a shiny black headband, and attached to her arms and legs were stings that were to be held by Misty.

Misty was oddly going as Ash because of a bet. She had on a black wig with Ash's hat, a black shirt underneath a blue/white jacket type of thing with a Poke ball insignia, baggy black pants, black fingerless gloves that had red tips, red and black shoes, and to top it off she had Ash's Pikachu on her shoulder. She even put the weird lightning marks on her face like, Ash's.

Marina was going as an alien girl because Jimmy wanted her to, but in my opinion she looked kind of pretty. She oddly had her head painted neon orange, her arms were neon pink, her legs were neon yellow, and she had on a neon green dress with whatever was left painted neon green. I'm guessing she would've dyed her hair, but since it was already blue, it wasn't necessary.

The sleeveless neon dress's bodice was bright neon green with black stitching as well as the skirt of the dress that was wound tightly against Marina's petite legs to her knee. The skirt had 3 glowing rings -yellow, blue, and pink- coiled around and 3 rings were coiled per arm –yellow, blue, and pink-. She had on –surprise, surprise- orange glowing hoop earrings, black combat boots, and a funky headband that had random glowing sticks –green, yellow, orange, blue, pink, and purple- popping out.

May had drawn crazy swirls all over Marina's face with glow-in-the dark face paint. Marina lastly put on bright blue eye shadow on one eye and green on the other, purple contacts, and bright pink lipstick.

May was a ghost girl. Her hair was dyed black and brushed straight down to her mid-back with white powder making it look faded, a tattered white dress, white see through stockings, black ballet flats, red contacts –I'm envious!-, and creepy makeup thanks to moi! That was French for 'me.'

Her powdery white dress had a black waistline, had short sleeves that covered her shoulders, and it barely went past her knees. I had put black eyeliner around her, now red eyes and black liquid eyeliner under her eyes and to her cheekbones to make it appear as if her eyes were oozing out the gunk. I then proceeded to cover most of her body in a ghostly white powder causing her skin to look deathly pale.

I was going as an evil fairy girl because of a little secret. I hadn't ever told anyone this, but I really did have real fairy wings thanks to a weird wish I made as a little girl to my dear ol' mum, Artemis. She had strangely asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I had apparently told her I wanted wings for my 8th birthday. Man, I have no idea what kind of drugs Artemis was doing that day, but she gave me the freaking wings (you would no believe what she gave me for my 12th birthday)! They had grown with me and had been able to disappear when I deemed them unnecessary, which was pretty much 99% of my life. You would not believe how much I freaked out about almost telling my parents, but being accused of lying when they weren't there.

My wings were a translucent white that shimmered sparkles wherever I went –quite, annoying, really-, but the odd thing was that they were one of my favorite features about, well, me! Luckily, I could force them to change colors, which was perfect for Halloween, so I changed them to an almost opaque black. They grew out between my shoulder blades and went from my neck to my mid-back. I hadn't ever tried to fly, but as a little kid I could faintly remember falling into a river and then proceeding to curse at my wings.

I had on a spaghetti strap black and purple dress, long striped black and white fingerless gloves, and my signature black converse. My fingerless gloves were sparkly –and might, I add, freaking itchy as crap! - And went from my wrist to my mid-arm. My hair had an enormous fake spider in my hair that looked, real. My hair was in its usual fashion since I hated, absolutely loathed hair accessories and therefore my hair was always straight or neatly tucked behind my ear.

The dress had a black bodice, a purple skirt that had a zigzag design for a hem and covered with translucent black material. The bodice was also covered with the same black material, but on top of that was black swirls with a thin, shiny purple swirls laced onto the black representing black roses that were each about 4 inches wide and long and covered the entire top except for the middle with the black flowers. In the middle of the bodice was black lacing making Xs all the way to the skirt.

With us taking about 3 hours to get ready –Dawn took a LONG time- we finally went to the fair. I didn't mind that it was in the afternoon when we arrived, the nighttime was always best for Halloween. Let's say that when we entered the girls caught quite a bit of attention, especially Marina. Just wait until they saw her at night! I guess I was kind of plain compared to them, but that was just my style, being plain.

When I went to go check out some of the games a guy with black hair approached me. He was a little on the skinny side, his eyes were a bright blue, which didn't help the fact that he was supposed to be some kind of Goth boy. He was wearing a black T-shirt with a skull imprinted on it, a spiked black collar, black jeans, pale skin, black lips, and was he wearing eyeliner?

"Hey, are you new here?" His voice was just a teensy bit deeper than mine... And he sounded nervous, some kind of Goth he was.

"I guess you could say that." I shrugged.

"Oh, really? I saw you arriving with those other girls and I assumed you were with them." He rubbed his arm.

"I was with them, but I kind of lost them, which might sound a little hard to believe." I laughed and I heard him give a chuckle.

"Hm, okay, well, if you want to find them, then I'll get out of your way." He said shyly.

"Are you really nervous or something because I'm not going to try and shove a watermelon down your throat, just saying." I said.

"Oh, but you won't do that would you?" He squeaked it out, so I could barely make it out.

"No, relax. I was just joking, but I guess most people would say they don't bite. Pssh, normal is so overrated." I scoffed.

"Would you mind if I asked what your name was?" He asked.

"Nope, it's Lisa." I greeted.

"Okay, well, I'm Nathaniel, but please call me Nate. Oh, and I'm part of the Ares Force. What about you?" Nate asked.

"Oh, I'm a daughter of Iris, goddess of the rainbow." I lied.

"Wait, you're part of the Ares Force?" I asked.

"Yep, some people call me the Spear." He replied. I don't know why, but that sent chills down my spine.


May's POV

All that powdery stuff in my hair was irking me, but I ignored it and tried to find the guys. They had said they'd be here, but almost everyone was crowded into this one spot and finding people would take sharp eyes or luck. I preferred to latter. Marina, Dawn, and Leaf had left to go play the games, while Misty and I were at the food stalls.

I was currently eating some 'spider webs,' which proved to be cotton candy. Misty was drinking 'blood,' which was punch. Ash's Pikachu was munching on some delicious 'eyeballs' (marshmallows). I thought I spotted Misty eating a cookie, but when I faintly remembered Ash was dressed as Misty, I dragged my best friend in an Ash costume to where I thought I had seen Ash. Turns out Ash was with Gary too.

"Hey, we were looking for you." Gary waved.

"But I thought you said we were-!" Ash was smacked in the head. Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder.

"Hey, buddy!" Ash scratched under Pikachu's chin after he got up from the ground, of course.

"Where are the others?" Misty blurted interrupting their weird conversation.

"They're looking for you guys. Where are the other girls?" Gary asked.

"Same as us. Looking for you guys." I answered.

"Then text them." Gary commanded, while whirling his demon tail.

"We left ours at the tent. Why don't you just text them?" Misty asked.

"Heh, we also left ours behind." Ash responded scratching the back of his head.

"By the way are you supposed to be scary?" Misty asked referring to the demon.

"Nope, I'm just being me, which means sexy as hell." Gary joked.


I'm going to end my chapter here because, well, I just feel like it. Also that last sentence is probably going to be as close as I get to a swear word because hell isn't considered a swear, so REVIEW because of summer vacation! EEP!
