Hey guys! Wanted to get this updated since I didn't over the weekend.

I'm freakin' nervous here!

I'm sitting in the dining room, waiting for my turn for the Gamemakers. I'm mentally preparing myself for this. Okay so I'm using swords to show off. Hopefully I can pull this off. Luckily I don't have to wait very long.

As Piper goes in, I get up and walk toward Annabeth and Frank, who are concentrating on a chess game. Hazel is watching over Frank's shoulder. I huddle down with them.

"Okay guys, this maybe the last time we'll talk before we go into the arena. We have to find a good strategy for us to survive."

"Well I thought of one." The ever so smart Athenian said.

"What is it?"

"We grab something and run toward the northwest. That should be good so we can stop and find some water."

"Okay that sounds good."

"I have something to add to Annabeth's plan. Hazel will follow me and you will follow Annabeth."

"Can I join this alliance?" The voice of my favorite person.

"Hello Nico."

"So can I?"

"Hmm you could be valuable to us. Sure."

"Great so who am I following?"

"Frank and Hazel."

"Olivia Collins."

"Bye guys, see you in the arena."

I walk down the hallway and into the training room. The Gamemakers are standing there watching me. I pick up a sword and started to decapitate the dummies' heads. Heads were flying everywhere.

I swing my sword and get a large part of the shoulder as well as the head when the Gamemakers told me I could leave. I put the sword up and curtsied to the Gamemakers. Father looked pleased.

I walk back to what I call the living area. Mercury was standing and waiting for me.

"Olivia, dear. Why don't you go to your room and wait until dinner?"

I nodded my head and walked to my room the walk back down when I see him leave. Mercury sort of scares me. Seems too happy-go-lucky. I watch the city out the window. I wish there was something to do. I wouldn't mind reading for crying out loud! Jeez this place even makes your dyslexia overlooked.

I linger over some cards on the table. I wonder why they're here. Oh well it's something for my hands to do. I pick them up and started to shuffle them while walking in circles.

'Okay so tomorrow I have to spend 4 hours with Mercury and 4 hours with Cordera. I hope Cordera's last. I rather have Mercury first and get it over with. Rather the freak than the sane.'

Connor comes into the 'living room' and sits down on the couch. I keep walking in circles and shuffling until I get dizzy and I have to sit.

"Hey do you want to play?" Connor asks, pointing to the cards I held.

"Oh you mean cards? Okay?"

"Have you ever played Speed?"

"Of course, who hasn't?"

"Really? Cause you're a Coho and everything."

"A Coho?"

"Community House orphan, that's what we call you all."

A Coho. That's what I am.

"Oh I observed people playing Speed."

"Sure."

Connor and I played Speed until Mercury calls us for dinner. I'm given a beef stew as I sit down at the table. Yum. Bread too. Camp never has this. It's usually nymph stuff. Barbecue and whatnot.

After dinner, we watch as the training scores come on. I sip the odd blue drink. It tastes like coconuts.

"I'm surprised a Career got a 3." Mercury says.

"Congrats on getting a 7, Olivia!" Cordera says.

"Good job Connor. A 5 is really good." his mentor says.

I sit there. A lot of people got a seven. Wow. I have a lot of competition and most of them are my family!
