When I got back to the cabin I was beaming and skipping. Too much Aphrodite. They just stared at me. "Jason truth or dare?" "Truth" "Who did you like before Piper" "Don't answer that Jason" Piper said using Charmspeak. "Answer it Jason" it was so powerful everyone was trying to force him. Piper put her hand over his mouth when she spoke I flicked my hand at her and she was stuck to the wall with a sword at her throat. "Tell us and I'll let her go" "Reyna" and I dropped her she turned red and pretty much went Aphrodite psyco on him. When we finally got her off she was red and Jason was bloody. Wait I think it's lipstick. "Will truth or dare" "dare" "Tell us your deepest darkest secret" he turned pink. I think a mix from red and pale. "Ihaveapicgureoflillieinmyroomandikisseverynightbecauseilikeher" "Who understood that?" Jason said "If no one understood it you have to say it again in front of the whole camp" "I heard it" "Prove it" Jason said crossing his arms. "Ihaveapictureoflillieinmyroomikisseverynightbecauseilikeher" I said. "Sounds the same" Piper said. "Piper truth or dare?" "Um..." "Answer" I said "Dare" "Write a mean letter to Clarisse and say it was from Lillie" I didn't even move. "You have nothing against this?" Sophie asked. "No. Actually to say that I don't care put fat and ugly in there" "Ok" said Piper and she was off. When she came back a mad Clarisse was right behind her. "Hello sister" I said waving. She pushed Piper over and was right in front of me. "I'm not Fat I'm not Ugly apparently when ever you see me you see a mirror" "Well you wouldn't know ugly or fat if it sat on you wiped it on you and had a baby that was an exact replica of you" I said standing straight. Clarisse started to glow red. Her aura was strong since she's so mad I started to glow different colors. "Cover your eyes friends Clarisse stare right at me" as soon as all the colors combined there was a bright flash of light and I was floating with my sword in one hand. "We can do this the hard way or the really hard way" "Um I choose the give me all yo got way!" She slashed at me with her sword but it simply bounced off my bubble. I made her come to the arena and gave everyone an instant mind communication that said "Come to the arena of you want to see Clarisse battle Lillie!" Everyone gathered and watched. I heard a scream and saw Nico looking over at me with my aura. He tried to run but I made sure he staid. "I'm smarter and stringer Parker" "Maybe but I have confidence, my parents, and oh yeah A BRAIN!" She started to shake she slashed and screamed but nothing worked I slashed and cut it went right through her aura but didn't touch her. I heard the waves and looked up. I felt a tug in my gut and I saw Clarisse get tugged under water by a water mouth. Poseidon. Then sparks were in the water and the water turned red. Ares. Then something held her while things nipped at her and spells made her weaken. Hecate. A mechanical arm appeared and tried to strangle her but I only let it hit her. Hephaestus. I saw fire in the sky and smack her and send fire through my veins. Hestia. My sword glowed and her name was carved into it. A skeleton army came and tied her down and slashed her with their swords. Hades. Suddenly a pack off bombs blew stink bombs. Hermes. A flock of Owls pecked her face and I got new battle strategies. Athena. Sun burst through the sky blinding people. Apollo. All Aphrodite did was put her in ugly clothes. Then a burst of light broke through me I screamed and I crashed to the ground others gathering. I floated up and my eyes were all the colors changing. "Battle me again I dare you!" I bellowed a voice so loud it could have been a gods. Clarisse dropped to the ground begging for life of course I let her live but I slapped her so hard her face was bruised for almost a month. Will was broken hearted to hear that I used all that power on Clarisse and that the boyfriend thing was dare but he got over it quick. I found Charlie building a tree house in the woods. "Hey buddy Will has to check your ribs" "Ok one second" he climbed down and jumped from his spot looking older. "Your eight now aren't you?" "Nope 10 mom and I lied I was out there 4 years and I kept down a growth spirt but I'm ten" we started walking and he collapsed. "CHARLIE!" He was just laying there and his hand was in his heart. I pulled up his shirt his whole front was blue and purple,like the side of Clarisse's face .HE HE SORRY. I carried him into the infermory and they immediately took us to Will he set him down and checked his pulse he was still breathing but barely. Will took off Charlie's shirt and touched his ribs I heard a crack and pop part of him was normal but right where his heart and chest was it was still purplish blue. He touched his heart and he turned pale he looked at me and started to cry. "What's wrong?" I asked "WHATS WRONG WITH HIM TELL ME TELL ME" I demanded. Will got someone else to tell me. His heart is broken and I don't mean like love I mean literally BROKEN. I cried and cried. Will came to comfort me and I ended up nearly soaking his clothes. He left to tell my friends everyone came to comfort me even Clarisse. After I was done crying worse news came. "He'll die in two three days" Melony said. I cried of course. "He was the only thing I had left." I sobbed. "I'm here Lillie I'm now your family" Nico said. I cried to him. "Hey look Lillie, I'm sorry" Clarisse had said. I hugged her and she hugged me. She started to sniffle. The next day I stayed in bed Nico watching over me making sure I moved and didn't kill myself. "Hey it'll be okay" "Nico look I know your trying to comfort me and all but I just want to be alone please." He kissed my forehead and left still checking on me. I left the cabin once to see Charlie. I went to the infirmary and he was awake but not moving. I went to his side and held his hand. His eyes moved to me but he couldn't move he tried to smile. He winced. "I...love...you" he said and he closed his eyes. "NO CHARLIE! NO STAY WITH ME WILL WILL HELP ME!" I said crying. I'm crying As I'm writing this. "CHARLIE NO PLEASE STAY WITH ME CHARLIE!" Will ran in and he was pale when he saw Charlie. He tried remove me but I was glued to him. "CHARLIE CHARLIE OPEN YOUR EYES OPEN THEM!" I cried. Will got me away but I pushed him off and went right back to Charlie yelling at him. A lot of people were watching me and Will trying to get me off. Nico came in crying. He came right to me and to,d me he died. "NOOOOO!" I yelled every one was trying to hold me back but I got through them. "HE CANT BE DEAD HE CANT BE NO CHARLIE LISTEN TO ME YOUR ALIVE WAKE UP YOUR FINE OPEN YOUR EYES!" He opened them but didn't move. I pushed all of the people away and went to him. "Charlie...no" he whispered "I...will...be...with...you...I........love.......you" those were the last words he said. I cried my eyes out and everyone let me be even Nico he slept with Mrs. O'Leary and let me have my space whenever someone was near me the left even Will ovoids me. I came behind him one day and when he saw me he ran. I went to Nico he hugged me but still tried to keep his distance. Do you ever feel that when you want to be left alone it's over nothing and when you don't want to be left alone you want someone. That someone who understood was Charlie. The one guy who did hit on me but loved me. Charlie. The one guy besides Cody who was there. Charlie. I saw Percy and he hugged me but left immediately. Then I saw Clarisse came up to her she ran. I was alone the one thing I wanted besides a family. Gone. I went to the creek where I met Charlie again and I saw what we experienced. "I love you Charlie" and I went to the river. I saw my dad well one of them Poseidon and he held me but he was never close to me. I was with Nico and we were alone and I grabbed him by his color. "Take me to the underworld" "What" "Take me to the underworld" "Why ohhh I'm sorry I can't let you see Charlie you'll try to revive him it will make you like me." He said I could tell he was trying to fight tears. "Take. Me. To. The. Underworld!" "I...I I can't Lillie it will make it worse" "TAKE ME TO THE UNDERWORLD!" I bellowed the last thing I remember was Nico looking frozen then complete and utter darkness.
