Hey guys, two new announcements!

Tomorrow is my birthday so I will not be doing a chapter – sorry but it's my special day and I will be doing one the day after, and this Chapter is very, very long, and very tense (plenty of action)!

There is a three-way tie between who I should draw:

Veronica, because everyone likes her

Magenta, because people wanted to see what she looked like

The main six, because it would be fair

So I will put a poll up: you can vote for Magenta, Veronica, all six, or the full body of all six changing over a six-week span.

So VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Thanks for reviewing, it makes my day!

Toby's POV

Our cabin is AMAZING! On the outside,grapevines up the walls of what looks like a normal Greek vineyard building. But inside, there's a vending machine on the wall, with a mini-theatre and disco ball! After a seriously cool party, I didn't get up until it was nearly midday. But at half past eleven, I stumbled groggily out of bed to find my five best friends having a terrified argument.

"You're sure?" asked Leon – I was surprised to see him out of bed.

"Positive," nodded Lilly.

"What's going on guys?" I asked.

Lilly was wearing a miniskirt and Camp t-shirt, and her strawberry hair waved like a carrot-coloured waterfall as she turned to face me.

"Toby, you have to help us!" she begged.

"What is it?" I asked, confused.

Veronica, dressed in her orange top and ankle-length oak brown skirt, approached me.

"Magenta, Jack and Aston are part of a plot. They tried to recruit Lilly to help them in their plan."

"Plan to do what?"

"I won't believe Jack could do this!" murmured Summer.

"What?" I yelled, trying to shake an answer out of them. My ADHD and traits of Dionysus made me restless and loud.

"Apparently," Leon said, "Lilly thinks that-"

"Knows that!" corrected Lilly.

"-that they're trying to bring back Kronos."

The conch horn sounded as we filed into the mess hall. I had my short sword strapped to my back as always, as I followed my counsellor Sara into the room. I exchanged glances with Tom. The plan was in action. The trap was set. Could we convince a room full of heavily-armed demigods to believe three of their counsellors were working against us?

We had to try.

"Pass the lemonade, Tobes," a cabin mate asked. I absent-mindedly passed the grape juice, worried to death.

"The lemonade, Toby."

"Oh yeah," I snapped back to reality and passed the half-full jug of bubbling lemonade.

Lilly stood up. My heart was in my mouth as she approached the dreamy table of Morpheus.

Magenta was ignoring her cabin mates and muttering to herself when Lilly tapped her on the shoulder.

I saw them talking, the background noise of the hall drowned out their conversation, but I saw Magenta's suspicious eyes and Lilly's desperate twitches.

Suddenly, I realised what Lilly must have said. The entire Morpheus cabin snapped their heads to Magenta.

"What?" the normally quiet, pale-skinned boy yelled.

It wasn't normal a child of the dream god screamed across the room, so silence gradually fell.

"Kronos?" spat Magenta.

A murmur of shock and horror rippled through the room. Chiron stood up at the mention of his father and even Mr D paled.

Lilly looked terrified, the entire room gasping at her, but she swallowed and continued with the plan: "In that dream you sent me? About Jack, Aston and you trying to raise Kronos."

"I told you, we're not trying to bring back Kronos, we're trying to-"

"You are," Lilly continued the dumb act, "Jack and Aston said-"

An arrow whizzed across the room, centimetres from Lilly's head. Jack and Aston were standing on the tables. Jack had an arrow notched and Aston held a spear in his finely-manicured hands.

"Don't go making up rumours about us," Jack warned, "or things could get ugly!"

Chaos exploded.

The five us grabbed weapons and advanced on Magenta, Jack and Aston.

The campers, unsure of what to do, dropped to the ground. Chiron grabbed his bow, trying to yell for silence amongst the screams and gasps.

Magenta drew her knife and kicked out at Lilly, who toppled back. Lilly grabbed her own knife and lunged forward. Magenta laughed.

"Don't forget who trained you, Lilly! I know your every move!" They leapt on the table and started duelling.

Veronica jumped across tables to the Morpheus one, trying to batt away Magenta. The more experienced knife-wielder knocked Veronica on the cheek with the butt of her knife and turned back to trying to slice up Lilly.

Aston, waving his spear, ran at Tom, but Leon intercepted. Aston screamed like a girl as he slipped onto his face. Summer ran up to me.

"Toby," she warned, "Jack is trying to stop Veronica from beating Magenta!" I turned to see the son of Apollo aiming for Veronica's head.

I heard the helplessness in Summer's voice and I realised Jack was pretty much her idol. He'd taught her archery and music, poetry and prophecy. He was her counsellor and teacher. She couldn't bring herself to attack him.

I nodded, drew my sword from my back and charged. It was timed perfectly. Jack was about to fire his arrow and as my sword knocked him aside, he let the arrow fly and it missed his target completely. Summer ran to Tom and Leon, who were bearing down on Aston. His skills with the spear kept them at bay, but he was weakening. Summer shot and the arrow landed perfectly in the shaft of the spear. Aston screamed in the shock, Leon kicked him down.

One down.

Tom and Summer ran to help me fight Jack. Over my shoulder I saw Magenta.

It wasn't going well. Lilly lay in pain, Magenta's black boots kicking her hard. Veronica's sword had been knocked out of her hands and she was fumbling for it beneath the table. I saw Lilly cry out as Magenta kicked me. I turned to face her.

A big mistake.

Jack's foot knocked into my hip. I fell off the table and onto the floor. Pain seared through my body. Tom sidestepped as Jack drew a knife and slashed wildly at him. He advanced on him, knocking both him and Summer back. They fell to the floor,

Tom clutched a scarlet scratch where an arrow had glanced his arm.

"Tom!" Summer went for a bandage in her pocket but Tom shook his head.

"Summer, Jack's going to kill you if you don't act fast! I'll be fine!"

Summer nodded, and turned to see Jack standing over her on the table.

I saw Jack notch an arrow to his bow as I fell unconscious...

Summer's POV

(sorry but I had to change)

I looked up at Jack who was looming over me.

I heard clangs of bronze and steel from Magenta, Veronica and Lilly but I knew if I turned around Jack would shoot me where I stood.

Toby and Tom where down. Leon was busy keeping Aston at bay, and Aston was pretty tough for a child of Aphrodite. Lilly and Veronica were fighting against Magenta. Jack would shoot me down and move on to the other three.

But I couldn't do anything.

When I had been claimed, Jack had taken me into the Cabin and introduced my half-siblings. He'd steadied my aim with the bow, taught me how to play the lyre, even told me the basics of prophecy. He'd sharpened my arrows as he whistled a song I taught him. And now he had an arrow notched at my head.

"Summer," Tom whispered to me, "once Jack's got you he'll move on to Veronica. Veronica, who you've known since you were five. We can find out why he's doing this once we have the upper hand."

I nodded as Tom went to tend to Toby, who lay unmoving.

I notched an arrow and pointed it at Jack. He fired first, but I leapt to the side as it skimmed my leg. I aimed at him.

The arrow whizzed towards him and caught the end of his thigh.

He clutched his leg and a pang of guilt struck me. I faltered but his fake pain caught me off guard. He fired an arrow.

It hit me square in the leg. I screamed and fell to the ground. I saw Aston kick off Leon and disarm him. I saw Magenta knock Lilly off the table. Veronica stood, back to the wall, sword pointed at Magenta. Magenta's knife had been bent and she stood disarmed. Veronica had a sword, her opponent had nothing. Surely that gave her the upper hand...

Yet Magenta smirked.

"Now, Child of Wisdom," she grinned, "watch and learn."

She clasped her hands and opened them, to reveal a two-handed sword. Veronica gasped in shock.

"How did-"

"My father created a whole world of dreams for him and his family to live in. You don't think his daughter can dream up a weapon?"

Magenta grinned, then held the sword above her head.

Veronica gasped.

Tom sobbed.

I screamed.

Magenta bought the sword down...

Dun dun duuunn...

Sorry I had to leave it there, and sorry you'll have to wait till the second of May to get the next Chapter!

Thanks for the reviews, remember the poll :D
