Drabble A Day Tumblr Challenge

Day Three

Characters: Clarisse La Rue, mentioned Luke Castellan, Percy Jackson, and Chris Rodriguez.


Thud. It was the sound of another dummy hitting the floor. She was panting, sweating, and she looked ready to collapse. But Clarisse La Rue was never one for stopping. A Child of Ares, backing down? That's hilarious; another joke, please. They lived on action; on being able to move; to feel the blood pursing down their veins; to feeling alive. And flawlessly beheading one, separating the torso from the body of another, she never felt more like it.

Slash. That was for Prissy, who got everything while she didn't and didn't try to help.

Stab. That was for Luke, who betrayed the camp she loved as home without giving it a second thought.

Move in and kill. That was for Chris, who was still on that boat, somewhere, and who didn't think of the girl she thought he loved before leaving.

Fierce, restless, on-the-move, La Rue. Keep your head in the game.
