The Second Legion

Classes

Later at dinner, the group sat together. Pia tried to control water, but this was significantly harder than it should have been because Lucas couldn't stop staring at Helena walked over, went behind Carlos and messed up his hair, shoving his head to the side, and came and pulled up a chair next to Cora. "Oh sorry Carlos, I thought you were my brother..."

"It's fine."

Their first-class was in a few minutes, so they sprinted off. At the classes, Pia was awaiting the two. The class was pegasus flying which Cora knew very well but Pia was new to. So the class went on with the teachings and they all hopped on pegasi. There weren't enough pegasi for all the people so Cora and Carlos had to be on Cora's pegasus together. "It's fine Cora, your pegasus can't hold us both. Besides they don't like me anyway."

Their coach instructed them to jump off of the pegasus, not flying off they noted to Cora, from five feet up, rolling as they touched the ground, this way they would absorb the impact. They all tried, and as it got to Pia's turn, she freaked and... stopped moving down. She was suspended in the air. Cora gave control of the pegasus to Carlos and joined her sister in the air.

"You did it! You can fly!"

"I guess." and that jinxed it. Pia fell and Cora swooped down and got her, dropping her from three feet, Pia rolled and absorbed the impact. She looked up and smiled at her sister, and they got back on their pegasi.

Later, at dinner, Pia tried controlling water. Unfortunately, this was made a lot harder by Lucas, who wouldn't stop looking at her. This made Pia blush and lose concentration. After dinner, Lucas escorted Pia back to the cabin. Lucas blushed looking back on the new basically-couple running around, Pia grabbed Lucas's hand, and they went inside.

"Ya know," Pia started. "The other day when you told me that you needed my help to find out a way for Carlos to ask out my sister, and I asked if you felt the same way about me, you said that I wished, and I just laughed and ran away?" "Yes. I do remember." "About that, I'm sorry I didn't help with it and -" "I...It's ok" Pia and Lucas looked at Carlos and Cora laughing at each other. "I need to go talk to Carlos. Is that ok?" "Yep," Pia said. "Ok well see you later fish girl." Pia giggled and Lucas blushed.

A voice over the speakers said, "Group two grab your swords and weapons and head to class." "Well. See you in class." Carlos gave Lucas a fist bump and all the campers in group two walked to class and picked up their armor and weapons. Chiron said "Today, we are going to practice swordsmanship, also we will be combining expert classes and beginner classes. First, we will have Pia and Lucas."

The two stepped onto a mat and they both got ready. "Go!" Chiron yelled. The two swords clashed together and sidestepped. Lucas disarmed Pia after a minute. Then they started the match again. Forgetting she was new he jabbed at her but she turned and his sword to the side of her. Lucas gasped, Pia squealed and looked at Cora for her reaction. Cora grinned at her and made a thumbs-up sign.

The next match was between Cora and Carlos. When they got up to the stand and Chiron said, "Go!" Cora spoke, putting out lazy jabs and making her sidestepping mesmerizing. Cora had him just where she wanted him. "Ya know, I didn't know that Pia would beat Lucas. But she's good." She continued sidestepping the lazy jabs. "Not as good as you..." Carlos replied. "Aww thanks, but I have been practicing longer. Still, sweet of you." Cora snatched his sword, twirled behind him, and had the flat of her blade on his neck. "Just remember this, that trick won't work on me."

"So I see." He muttered.

Then they began the second round. Cora fooled around the first few seconds, then started putting out moves. She pressed and pushed harder, each hit powerful and precise. Sliding her blade under his, she twisted until the sword clattered out of his hand. He had been disarmed the twentieth second. Everyone gasped. Not that Carlos wasn't good... besides Cora, he was the best. No one would dare cross him when he was in a bad mood. The next matches were between two and when everyone had gone, the winners competed in the same pattern until they had one winner. It was Cora. Of course, no one was surprised, Cora had been at camp since she was two and had handled a weapon ever since then. How could you expect less?

Lucas walked up to Pia. "You wanna go on a walk?" Pia giggled. "Sure!" Off they went. Cora elbowed Carlos. "What?" He laughed. She rolled her eyes, "What?" he repeated. She just glared. He sat down on the bench and gestured for her to sit next to him, "No, I won't." was her frank reply, he winced. "So what's wrong? Was it me? Or someone else?" She sat down.After a minute of Cora glaring at him, he asked again. "So ya gonna talk?" she sat up but he grabbed her hand and pulled. She turned towards him and sat reluctantly down again.

"Why do you call every girl you see 'hun'." Cora's glare was overcome by a fake blush, and Carlos could tell that it was fake. "Yeah right, you aren't at all interested in that at all."

Back at Pia and Lucas, the two decided to go to the dock when there was water below. The two talked and laughed and told stories for a while then they sat down. They playfully pushed each other until Lucas pushed Pia into the water below. Lucas panicked and quickly took off his shirt and jumped in as Pia had not yet reached the surface. So Lucas started going down to the bottom where Pia lay unconscious he picked her up rapidly and started to swim to the top. Up to the top, Lucas put Pia on the hot sand and started to give her mouth-to-mouth CPR and he didn't count it as a kiss... but he was saving her life. But, Lucas kept compressing and doing CPR until finally, Pia awoke and saw Lucas standing in front of her and she hugged him but Lucas wanted more than a hug. " Are you sure that you are ok?" "Ya... I am fine, still don't feel quite right though. Like my first kiss wasn't for anything but to save me. But it is still for the benefit of saving which is great, don't get me wrong though-" Lucas silenced her ranting, by doing another 'mouth to mouth CPR'

whelp, what can I say...
