Chapter 11

Artemis pov:

My hunters soon arrived with the werewolf who was bleeding everywhere. It took me two hours to heal him completely, then another hour before I was able to sit without having to absorb Apollo's power for me to continue on with the hunt and not have to be with the Styx. It was especially hard for the sole fact that Phobe used her silver hunting knife and it prevented his body from healing it quickly. Then on top of that I am not a goddess of medicine, so healing him was excruciatingly hard.

After I healed the wolf I called Toni over. "Toni please take the wolf and put him in his tent." I said tiredly.

"What tent lady Artemis?" Toni asked me.

I paused for a second before I remembered that we didn't set up a tent for him.

"Thalia! Get one of the spare tents and set it up away from the camp." I said as I slowly stood up. My legs wobbled a little bit as I slowly walked to my tent.

"Yes my lady." I heard Thalia say behind me as I entered my tent. I walked over to my bed and laid down under the pelt-blanket and silver sheets. A few minutes later I was in the realm of Morpheus.

Annabeths pov:

Nico didn't finish telling me the rest of Zain' s story. Instead, he said good night to me and headed off to his cabin. I put out the fire and headed off to my cabin when I got there and I got into bed, before anyone else got to the cabin. I soon fell asleep and had a strange dream...

I was on Olympus and there was all the Olympians and one man with them. He had brown hair and light blue eyes. He looked about 21, and he had a deep voice as he said:

"My name is... Dameion, Dameion Orthwrite." He said. Apollo then shouted that he was a liar. My dream continued to progress with this Dameion person telling a story about how he met... PERCY?!

I instantly paid more attention to what he said. He continued to talk and tell the Olympians that Percy is dead but they didn't believe him at all. Heck I didn't believe it either. He got angrier and angrier as he continued to tell them Percy was dead.

Then his watch went off and he looked down and looked scared. A few minutes later he transformed into a big wolf. He seemed to look right at me before I woke up.

I looked around and saw it was about six in the morning. There was soft and slow breathing around the cabin. I laid back down and slept a dreamless sleep for three hours before Malcolm woke me up.

"Annabeth! It's time for breakfast come on!" He said. My cabin got up and walked to breakfast once everyone was awake and got there eyes open.

Everyone sat in the stands of the arena waiting for the duel to start.

Kristina was standing in the center of the arena waiting for Zain to show up.

Chad, was released from the infirmary today and was back to his annoying self. He continued to hit on me, by trying to prove that he was the best hero that ever lived.

I just couldn't understand why he could never shut up! We all sat in the stand for half an hour until Zain walked into the arena.

"So, you decided to show up. You coward!" Kristina said loudly. Zain just walked up, in his standard ninja garb. Kristina pulled out a spear with a celestial bronze head.

'She really aims to kill him.' I thought.

Zain pulled out a pair of black drum sticks. Every one was silent until Chad shouted out loud.

"What are you going to do with those? Play us a beat?" This got most of the old campers laughing and all of the newer campers laughing too.

Zain ignored them and looked at his opponent. He twirled the sticks in his fingers a few times before motioning for her to come at him. Kristina's face morphed into one of rage and charged him with her spear beside her. She thrusted her spear forward once she got in range of Zain. It was a quick and it should have hit its mark if a drumstick hadn't hit it down making her thrust her spear in the ground between his feet. She then pulled up only to have it stopped by both the sticks in a X formation.

Kristina pulled back her spear and swung herself around before swinging at his head. Zain just leaned his head, back enough to see the spear sail over him, before righting himself. It was pretty obvious that he was not even trying to fight her. For every thrust or slash she threw he would evade or block with his drumsticks.

"Stop toying with me and fight!" Kristina shouted as she rapidly thrusted at his chest and face. Amazingly enough he kept on dodging each strike and blocking the ones he couldn't dodge. Kristina yelled in rage and swung her spear at his head before following it up with a kick to his stomach sending Zain to the floor.

Kristina yelled a battle cry and thrusted her spear down for the killing blow. Zain rolled to the left and barely dodged the thrust, although his ninja garb didn't. The black cloth ripped when he rolled away. Zain got himself off the floor only to be stabbed in the stomach by a smirking Kristina.

Zain was bent over where the spear had entered his body. He grabbed the spear with both hands and looked at the spear while Kristina tried to pull the spear out. She couldn't seem to make the spear budge though. All of a sudden Zain looked up and I saw that his eyes had turned completely black, like the time with Chad. Kristina tried harder to pull the spear out of Zain, but he held it firm.

Soon the spear shaft started to turn grey and dissolve into dust. Everyone watched in complete silence as the last bits of the spear dissolved into dust in Kristina's hand. Zain stood up and pulled the bronze spear head out of his stomach.

"Oh my gods... You're a freak!" Chad shouted. He was about to say more when a spear head impaled itself inches away from his face, completely shutting him up. Kristina yelled in rage.

"You dare try to hurt the hero of this camp?!" She said breathing in anger. (Means to breath in and out heavily when angry or to show your angry) She then drew two swords and charged Zain swinging her swords quickly and randomly, cutting into Zain' s body as well as his ninja gear.

Kristina finished it with a slash, then grabbed his torn up torso of his ninja garb and punched him hard. He flew into the wall of the arena shaking the stands and making a few campers fall. Zain fell to the floor and did not move. Kristina threw the front part of his ninja garb's torso down and then walked over to his body. She lifted both of her swords high before stabbing him in the back with both blades. She then turned around and walked back toward the center and raised her hands and yelled.

There was silence until Chad started clapping which caused a slow applause which turned into most of the camp cheering... Until Zain slowly got up and removed the blades from his back.

Everyone was staring in shock and fear. He then tossed them aside and walked over to Kristina like nothing happened, and grabbed her by the throat and stared at her. She started to struggle but she stopped and had a smug face as they looked at each other. Four minutes passed and her face morphed into one of fear before she started spazzing out.

He dropped her and turned around. That's when I saw his exposed chest which was a deep blue. He continued to walk towards the exit when the doors were slammed shut. He stopped and stood there until a couple ares cabin mates jumped on top of him ripping off his mask and throwing him away from the doors.

"We aren't done with you, Grave Digger!" One of the boys said. I looked to where the Ares cabin sat and saw Clarisse and 5 other Ares campers sitting in the stands not doing anything. I turned back to Zane and saw he had a gold watch in his hand, he looked up from it to his attackers and gave a psychotic smile before closing the watch with an audible click. He then pulled out his drum sticks and charged the ares campers.

Percy pov:

The pain in my chest was starting to kill me.

I continued to walk away from the hunters camp and to the creek. There was no giggling this time but i was able to find the tree I was at last time. I laid underneath the tree and tried to fight off sleep. 'This is a good place to die as any.' I thought to myself.

'You do know it doesn't have to be.' A voice said in my head. I looked around quickly and saw a pair of glowing blue eyes.

'Who are you? And how can you hear me?' I thought. There was a low hum that came from the glowing blue eyes. It seemed to be laughing.

Blue eyes walked forward showing itself in the light of the moon. When blue eyes came out I saw that it was the white wolf that bit me.

'You! Your the one who changed me.' I thought. The white wolf cocked its head in a curious expression.

'So?' it said to me.

'Why did you change me?!' I thought. The white wolf looked down.

'I can't tell you.' It said.

'What? Why?' I thought. Blue eyes looked up and I saw her mesmerizing blue eyes.

'Wow those eyes are beautiful.' I thought forgetting blue eyes could hear me. Blue eyes looked at me and gave a wolfish grin. I was about to say something but my vision flickered and I fell unconscious.
