Special thanks to Zackman54 who gave me the idea for this chapter. And math is my worst subject. DARN YOU TRIG!
And who is this mystery girl. No it's not Clarisse, by the way. Don't you dare tell Zack!
Mysterious Girl's POV
After my brief run-in with that strange Chaos guy, I sprinted up the path that led to my cabin. Since we had free time right now, I decided to be lazy and not practice fighting with my cabin mates. I mean hey, I'm the best fighter in our cabin. I plopped down on my bunk and opened a magazine. Half way through the magazine, I stopped reading, let go of it, and let it fall to the ground. I took the knife from my belt and examined it. It was mainly gold with a stripe of celestial bronze running up and down the length of the blade. There was another stripe of some other type of metal on either side of the bronze that I couldn't identify. I was still observing the knife when my sibling came in out of breath and bruised up.
"Hey, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be in the arena?"
"Nope." I sat up and examined her. "Miranda, what happened to you?"
"There was a friendly disagreement between me and Zack. I thought that knifes were better, but you know Zack, never quitting with him sword enthusiasm." She sat down on the edge of my bed and sighed dramatically.
I had no idea how to respond to that. "I- uh- am sorry?"
She waved her hand. "Doesn't matter, it's okay." She caught sight of the knife. Pointing to it, she asked, "Where'd that come from?"
"That Chaos dude with the Mohawk ran into me and knocked me down, so I took this knife as his apology."
She shrugged. "Oh well. Whatever works for you sis." She got off my bed and started to rummage through her trunk. Pulling out a thermos of nectar, she drank a little and sighed as the strength came back to her body and the bruises on her arms and face faded a little. She replaced the cap on the thermos and threw it back into the trunk. Waving, she said "See you later," and exited the cabin.
I flopped back on the bed and continued to examine the knife and turned my thoughts to that idiotic boy that ran me over.
Percy POV
I was gently sparring with Kelly, lightly splashing her with water every time she messed her footwork up. She would then laugh and summon more water against me. This was all well and good until Jessie decided to walk into one of Kelly's water balls.
He shook the water out of his soggy Mohawk and glared at Kelly. "Do you know how long it takes to style this!?" He yelled.
"About a minute. I timed you."
He rolled his eyes and set down the crate filled with shrunken practice dummies and assorted practice weapons. Kelly walked over to him and touched him shoulder, evaporating all the excess water from his Mohawk and leaving it dry. "Thanks Kelly."
"No problem," she turned to me. "Hey Perce, when do the pets come in."
"Soon, Chaos said-" I was cut off by a large portal appearing near the water cooler.
Out stepped a golden dragon that promptly went over to Bec and started to lick her face with her rough tongue. "Easy Sunspark." The dragon whimpered, but stopped the licking. Then came a large red Pegasus that started galloping around the arena as fast, of faster than Arion. Then came a silver wolf that trotted over to Arianne and curled around her feet. Another Pegasus came trotting out with an eagle on its back. Each pet went over to their respective owner and attacked them with love. After the last animal came through, the portal closed.
A note appeared out of thin air and floated to the ground. I picked it up and read:
Dear Percy,
I just couldn't take it. The animals were driving me nuts! I hope their owners are happy now. Also, the renovations are done to the cabin, enjoy!
-Chaos
I took the note over to Annabeth who read it and nodded. I glanced around and saw happiness from everyone, everyone except Jessie.
He was rooting around in the dirt and grass around where the portal was. He was muttering a couple of curse words at Chaos. I walked over to him and squatted down.
"Looking for something?"
"Oh very funny Perce. Help me find it will you?"
I sighed and rotted around in the dirt finding nothing. "Dude, maybe it's not here. We can ask Chaos later."
Jessie shook his head and continued to search. After a couple minutes, he gave a triumphant whoop and held up a silver and black ring. "Found it! And you doubted me."
"Believe what you want man. But are you sure that's the right ring?"
"Let's find out." He stood up and brushed off his jeans. He threw the ring on the ground and shouted, "Oblivion, serve me." Out of the ring came a black, five foot tall hyena with a silver and grey collar. He bounded over to Jessie's side and growled, daring anyone to come near his master.
I leaned down and picked up the ring. "Catch!" I threw the ring at Jessie who caught it and put it on.
"Thanks." He leaned down and scratched Oblivion behind the ear and walked away towards the direction of the arena exit.
"Where are you going!?"
"To clear my head!"
I let him go and walked back over to Annabeth. Whispering in her ear, I said "I guess it's a good thing we're expanding the camp."
"This is going to take so much work! I'll have to completely redo the castle!"
I was nervous about asking her out for another date. I mean, Annabeth is a workaholic and lately she almost never takes time out for a date of to hang out. I decided to risk it. "Hey Annabeth? Do you want to go on a date tomorrow?"
She looked thoughtful. "Hm, I do have a lot of work to do…" My hopes sank. "But I can do tomorrow." She kissed me. "Definitely."
BEST DAY EVER! I thought.
