Lina's POV

Where am I? What has happened? Where's Percy and Brendan?

The memories of my mother's omen came flooding back into my head. My mother… Athena? How? I'm not so-o-o smart, and I want to be an Astronaut, not a mathematician. Why would Athena fall in love with my father? He can barely hold a job. All he does most of the time is make things. Wait. Isn't Athena also the goddess of Crafts? I mentally groaned. If I'm a daughter of Athena, how am I so stupid?

Stop scolding yourself. Just remember the important things of the omen.

My eyes lit up, well, inside my head. Mom? I asked.

The voice seemed to chuckle. No, but in one-way or another, you need me just as much.

What the hell?

The voice was now scowling, or it seemed, at me. Remember what your mother said in your omen! It will become your life!

I took the voice's word for it. My mother had said something about acting like a Roman and Percy will help me when the time comes. That's it? That will become my life? What- oh. Wait. I understand. I'm at the Roman demigod camp, and Athena is the Greek name. So I'm a Greek demigod at a Roman demigod camp. This will be fun.

I tried to open my eyes to see my exact surroundings, trying to form a plan. But I couldn't. Why can't I open my eyes?

Because you are still unconscious. This really is just your jumbled up thoughts floating around in your head, trying to make sense. You don't have full control of your body… yet.

I tried to picture myself whining. When will I get it back?

Oh, any second now, since this monster is almost upon you.

I screamed. Or, I screamed in my head. What monster? How can I live if I don't have control of my body?

Do not worry. I see her as a monster. Your kind sees her as a trainer. Or the Roman kind…

Sighing in my head, I only wished I could get a straight answer for once. I felt violent shaking all around me. I wanted to move, but I couldn't. The sound of a wave roared in my ears. I heard snuffling at where my feet should be. Suddenly, I heard the highest whine. My eyes started to slowly open. I moved backward when I saw Lupa right in front of my face, snarling.

Demigod. You still need to be tested. She said.

I looked at her with a curious look. Didn't she know my mother was Athena? Lupa's eyes showed a warning glint, telling me not to say anything. I got up fast, showing the Romans I was not weak.

"I'm ready."

The little girl, Hazel Heavern, snarled at me. "Got too overwhelmed? Well don't worry, that doesn't happen to most people."

That little girl had a vicious side. "Bring. It. On." I said.

The bell sounded. Hazel came at me with her sword. I drew my dagger to be ready for anything. Her sword came at my shoulder. I easily dodged it. She tried to jab me in the stomach, and I twisted her sword out of the way. She hit me with the butt of her sword on my head and knocked me down. She raised her sword above her head and brought it down. I grabbed hold of her ankles with my ankles and twisted to the left. She gave out a cry and came down next to me. I jumped up quickly but Hazel was faster. We began to fight on our feet again. She kept swinging at me, at my head, then at my feet. I jumped and ducked when needed. This went on for maybe five minutes. I got tired of jumping and ducking and used my dagger to block her next swing. I blocked it so quickly that everyone hushed. Even Hazel looked surprised. I then used my dagger to spin her sword around and pin it at her back. Hazel gave a surprised yelp. I took her sword. I poked her back with her sword and had my dagger in front of her neck.

"Not so special now, are we?" I whispered in her ear.

The bell sounded again and I dropped her sword. Lupa came prowling across the arena.

Lina Bolton has won.

I repeated it in my head. I couldn't believe it. I had never had any experience and I defeated the third best in the camp. Not something that happens everyday.

Lina Bolton has won.

Lina Bolton has won.

I jumped in the air full of joy. I knew I shouldn't be celebrating, but this was my first fight, and I had won.

Quiet down, demigod. We don't tolerate big-headedness here. Lupa growled.

I was quickly escorted to my seat next to Percy. The people who had escort us here stayed next to us. I guess they didn't trust us, and they shouldn't.

"That was amazing! I never knew that you were so good!" Percy said.

I looked at him with a weird look. "Uh, Perce, it's sword fighting. Most people don't do it. I'm taking a guess and saying you probably never would have known."

He put his hands up and smiled. "Still! You are really good! There might only be one other person who I know who can use that dagger better-" his face turned into a confused expression.

"Nevermind. Anyways, where did you learn that?" he asked.

I leaned close and made sure the people who 'escorted us' couldn't hear. "Percy, just between you and me, but I think my mother talked to me when I fainted."

His confused expression came back. "But what does that have to do anything with learning how to use a dagger?"

I grinned widely. "Perce, you always weren't the sharpest nail in the tool box," I couldn't stop my smiling now, "my mother is Athena."

His eyes grew big and a blank expression appeared. "Don't you mean Minerva?" he said with a grimace.

I laughed. "That's the best part, I don't mean that. My mother, the Greekgoddess, is Athena. Goddess of wisdom and battle strategies."

He stared straight ahead. He didn't express any emotion. "Then what are you doing here?"

I was taken by shock; I thought he would be happy. And besides, my mother had told me that he would help me. "Percy, I think you know."

"Lina! Why do you always assume that I know everything? I'm not a freaking son of Athena!"

I gave him a you-know-what-I-mean-and-answer-my-question-already look.

He sighed in defeat. "Yeah, I do know. It's this weird feeling. Ever since I had gotten here, I have been calling things by their Greek names. I can't read the Latin signs that are all over the place, well, except for a few words. And, I know this is going to sound crazy, but I have a little voice in my head telling me what to do."

"I have a voice, too! And it's not my mother. I remember exactly when I was unconscious, the voice was telling me a monster was coming, but it was only Lupa. Then she said, in these exact words, do not worry. Your kind sees her as a trainer. Or at least the Roman kind. Wait. Percy, this might sound crazy, but I think you are a Greek demigod."

He put on a mock expression of surprise. "Oh really? I never would have guessed!" he said sarcastically.

"You mean you have known this all along? How-Why-What-"

He cut me off, "my voice has been dropping hints, like one time I was asking who I was, and it said, do not worry, you are our third favorite son of Greece. I think that it wasn't just a mistake and that they were telling a joke. They were trying to tell me something."

I smiled. "Now all we need to know is your godly parent."

He grinned with a lopsided smile. "Lina, I'm glad you're my best friend, even if I don't remember you."

I smiled too. "Me too, well, not the not-remembering part, but still."

The gong sounded. My face went pale and I covered it with my hands. How could I be so in to talking to Percy that I forgot Brendan?

Brendan's POV

I watched as Lina was taken to her seat next to Percy. I watched as her short black curls bounced up and down as she climbed each step. She had done good, really good. I smiled. She never failed to surprise me.

A seven-year-old boy led me to the weapon shed. Although, 'shed' is definitely not the right word. It's more like, warehouse. Weapons lined the walls, ground, and ceiling. I bet Lina loved this place. Lina was definitely the type of girl to fight with swords… I can already see her doing it. Ok, well, I already did, but you get my point.

At our old school, I always tried to defend Lina. She would always say to ignore them, but I never did. I remember one day a kid came up to Lina and said, "Why did your daddy send you here? Cause your mother was a bitch." Lina turned on him with her eyes blazing and punched him square in the nose. He fell over and I walked over to her, grinning. Lina has always been the smartest person I know. I knew that she had that toughness in her, but I think she didn't want to let it out. When I had first met Percy and Lina, I thought they were a couple. But, I guess they weren't meant to be. Percy is a really nice guy, but I think he is too laid back for Lina. They are awesome friends, but I hate it when they get into fights. Back to the topic. Lina is the smartest person I know, and she gets A's in everything. She is also pretty funny when she wants to be, and sometimes when she doesn't. When she first told me she wanted to be an astronaut, I thought she was joking and busted out laughing. After that, she didn't talk to me for a week. I would never admit this, but she is also the most beautiful girl I know. Her grey eyes look perfect on her, and she wouldn't be complete without them. Her black hair, it's unbelievable. I never knew short curly black hair could look so good, but Lina pulled it off well. It's not everyday you meet someone like that, you know? Not every girl has brains, humor, toughness, and looks. All in one package. And her also being you best friend? Even better.

Back to the warehouse, weapons lined the walls. I stood there, amazed at how anyone could own this many weapons.

The boy coughed, "Do you want me to help you find one?"

I stood there, gaping at the ceiling and let out a small, "Mhm."

"Ok." He went scrabbling to the back of the warehouse, like he knew exactly what to find. I heard a small crash and a little scream, then more walking. The boy appeared all of a sudden from behind a trunk full of weapons. He had a sword and shield in his hands. The sword looked like it had vines curling around the hilt. The shield had a similar design around the edges. In the middle was a huge… doctor symbol? The ones with the snakes curling around a staff with wings at the top, I can't think of the name.

"So, why did you pick this one?" I asked.

He grinned mischievously. "I just have a feeling you're my half-brother."

"Wait- what do you mean?"

"Come on, Lupa is waiting for us."

The boy, I still haven't gotten his name yet, took me to the side of the Arena where Lupa was waiting for me.

Come, demigod. Your fight awaits you, and do not think you will win, just because your friends had a miracle. She said.

I was about to make a sarcastic comment when someone shoved me to the center of the arena. There was a boy in there, about twelve. He had black hair, black eyes, and black everything. He had a long black spear in his hand and a dark black helmet on. He was as Goth as a person could get.

Brendan McLane will be fighting Dakota Thomas. Heroes! Take your mark!

The gong sounded. I had no idea how to use the sword, so I just used my shield to block. His spear kept hitting my shield, and was knocking me back a few feet every time. I knew that in just a few moments, my back will be against the wall and he will have me cornered. I turned and ran across the walls of the arena before he could attack. I turned around to see him running in the opposite direction. Opposite direction? Wait- what?

He appeared right in front of me. The shadows seemed to spit him out. He came running at me with his spear. I raised my shield just in time and went flying. I landed on my back a few feet from where I was standing. Dakota came at me slowly, like he thought I couldn't get up in time. I had to win this. Somehow, someway. Dakota just kept walking until he was standing right in front of me. He raised his arms with his spear as if to strike me. Quickly thinking, I kicked him in between his legs. He doubled over in pain and staggered away. I jumped up and wacked him with the butt of my sword to his head. He went down. I put my foot on his stomach and my sword at his neck.

I was about to celebrate when Dakota disappeared under my foot. I whirled around, looking for him. A huge weight landed on my back and I fell to my stomach. I tried to look back to see what it was but hands clamped over my eyes. I felt the tip of a spear on my back. A shiver went up my spine when I heard Dakota's haunting voice.

"It's never that easy, demigod." He said.

The gong of the end of the fight sounded. Dakota took his spear from my back and removed his hands from my eyes. I looked around in shock at all the people jumping up and down and cheering. I heard a distinct voice coming from the crowd, louder than any others, and a voice that I would never forget.

It was Lina's. And she was telling me to run.

Lina's POV

I stood there in shock as Dakota landed on Brendan's back. I knew this wouldn't end well, I knew it. Brendan fell down and Dakota put his spear on Brendan's back.

I ran to our 'escorts'. "What happens if someone loses their fight and isn't a camper from before?"

"It's never a good thing. It always ends in death."

No! This can't be happening! I grabbed Percy's hand and ran to the bottom steps of the arena. I almost climbed over the ledge that separated us from the fighting part and the stands when I realized Lupa would be suspicious. The cheers were deafening, as if they wanted him to die. I screamed for all that was worth.

"Brendan! Get out of here! GO! RUN! We will meet you there! NOW RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!"

He seemed to hear me and locked eyes with me. He knew exactly where to go. He got up, grabbed his sword and shield, and ran as fast as he could out of the arena. The crowd started to run towards him, trying to block his way. He looked back at me with a silent voice. I can't do this.

I prayed to my mother as hard as I possibly could. I prayed and prayed for what seemed like ages. I felt a spark of hope and looked back to Brendan. A grey light was consuming him. In a flash, he was gone. I sighed in relief, but that was before the people started to grab me.

AHH! That was awesome to write! Review!
