A/N: So, I'm not dead and my dogs are not feasting on my corpse. I had a friend that I was texting, and I left the room for like 5 minutes, and when I got back I saw: "Are you dead? If you don't text back in a minute, I'm gonna assume you're dead. If your body isn't found, it'll take about 40 hours til you dogs start feasting on your flesh. Then they'll run out of water and start drinking from the toilet." Yeah. My friend is seriously weird. Anywho, I'm not sure how many days the tributes have to train, but I'm only gonna write 3 then I'm moving on. Also, I've decided that Bea is short for Beatrice. Yay. Now for the story.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Well, actually that's kind of a lie. There's a lot of OCs in this. But you get the point.

Chapter 6:

Nico's POV

I'd say day one of training went well. I wasn't able to talk to anyone about what the heck was going on, but I was able to get some good sword practice in. It turns out that the girl with Percy, Bea, was a pretty darn good swordsman. To be honest she reminded me a lot of Percy, in personality and skill, and even appearance. (A/N: Hmm… I seem to be hinting something.) She picked it up quickly, which surprised me. After a while we split up, and I went to go listen to one of the mentors babble on about strategy and stuff. That day was rather uneventful.

The next day started out the same, wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed, go to the training room. Percy joined the group today, turns out he had been teaching a kid to swim. I saw him sparring with Bea, and I could tell he was also surprised by her skill. I saw Annabeth and Piper studying the books about plants. Half way through the day all the tributes took a lunch break. I could see Annabeth, Piper, And Jason rounding up the rest of the demigods. Annabeth signaled me to join them, so I walk over to the table where they were sitting.

"Okay," Annabeth started, "There's two things we need to discuss. Firstly, does anyone have any idea how we're here?" We all shook our heads. "Okay. That brings me to the second detail. Two nights ago, Piper and I both had similar dreams. In mine, I was on Olympus, and the gods were discussing our disappearing act. They seemed pretty panicked. They started arguing and a strange voice started speaking behind me. The strange thing was, it sounded familiar. It told me that the gods were powerless to stop our disappearance. Then I woke up."

"My dream started with me in what appeared to be Camp Half-Blood, only, it was really hard to tell, because where camp should have been was a large crater, everything around it had been destroyed too. Thalia's tree had also been destroyed by lightning. Then the ground swallowed me, and the same cold female voice Annabeth described to me earlier spoke, saying we would pay for what we did to her ancestors," Piper described.

"Wait, Annabeth, you didn't say the voice was female," Frank pointed out.

"Oh, I didn't? Well it was," Annabeth said.

"Back to the point," Piper said, "I think we're dealing with something powerful. Like bending time powerful. And the worst part is we have no idea what it is." Just then, everyone got up to leave and we were all told to get back to training. For the rest of the day, I couldn't stop thinking about the voice Annabeth and Piper described.

Frank's POV (A/N: His part is short. I had no idea what to write.)

I was pondering over the conversation we just had, when Eve walked up to me.

"So...you know those people?" she asked. I nodded. She waited for me to elaborate but I remained silent. We stood awkwardly for a second, then I went to go practice my archery.

Leo's POV

I didn't have much to do, so I wandered over to where the male tribute for District 8 was. I could see him trying to get the hand of fighting with a machete. I picked up a machete and easily went through the dummies. I'm not much of a fighter, but compared to him, I was actually pretty good. I could see him watching me with resentment. I put down the machete and walked over to the fire pit. I started playing with the fire again, when the boy came over to me.

"Hey, I'm Cleaver. District 8." I nodded, but kept pretending to try to make a fire. "So, you're from District 2?" he asked. "That's cool. You got a girlfriend back home?"

"Yeah," I said, looking up. "Why?"

"No reason, that girl from my district is pretty, though." When I heard that I laughed to myself.

"She's seeing someone," I told him. He looked disappointed then asked, "Who?"

"See that boy from 5?" I said.

"Him?" Cleaver said. "He doesn't look like much." I laughed out loud.

"Do you think you could take him?" I asked him sarcastically.

"Yeah! I actually think I could." Oh no. I think I just told him to challenge Jason. At fighting. The only people who are better fighters than him are Percy, Annabeth, and maybe Nico. I raised an eyebrow.

"You doubting me? Well I'll prove it to you." He marched over to Jason. Slowly I followed him over to Jason.

"–practice hand-to-hand combat with me?" I heard Cleaver ask Jason.

"Uh..sure," Jason said. Then he noticed me snickering behind Cleaver. "Excuse me a sec," Jason told Cleaver. "Dude? What's happening?"

"That guy thinks he's a better fighter than you, so I basically told him to prove it," I said, cracking up. Jason shot me a look but turned back to Cleaver.

"Ready?" Cleaver asked. Jason nodded and with one last glare at me they stepped onto the training mat. I walked over to where Piper, Hazel, and Annabeth were and pointed at Jason and Cleaver. They looked up and started watching intently. Jason and Cleaver circled each other. Suddenly Cleaver lunged. Jason dodged and flipped Cleaver onto the ground. Cleaver rolled and got back up. He charged at Jason again and Jason stepped out of the way. I could see that Jason didn't want to fight him. Cleaver looked over at me and saw Piper watching. Fueled with determination he charged at Jason who tripped him and pinned him to the ground. Jason stood up and offered Cleaver a hand which he turned down. I could tell Jason was trying to give him advice, but Cleaver wasn't listening. I looked over to Piper who seemed slightly confused about what was going on but seemed happy for Jason. Cleaver pulled himself up and stalked to a corner. Jason walked over to Piper and the two started chatting. I went back to the fire making station and resumed playing with the fire, while laughing quietly about Cleaver's defeat.

A/N: So in honor of Trials of Apollo, I decided to update today. I started reading it on my kindle and it's really good. I did not, however, like the fact that Rick made Solangelo full on cannon. I am a Reynico shipper, and if you aren't, well, I really don't care. In my story though, Trials, (as I'm calling it), has not and will not happen. Partially because of the Solangelo. But anyways, I'm super happy, and this Friday, Civil War comes out! Woohoo!
