Vicky's Pov

Charlie had been stabbed, and I know who did it. "You're the one who stabbed my sister?!" I yelled, raising my fist to hit her. "Victoria, look at me." Liana said, holding my fist back from punching Ella. "What? Ella stabbed my sister!" I yelled, pulling my hand from Liana's grip. "We can't trust her! She's a flaw in this operation! She's a loose screw in a machine!" Ella yelled, getting in my face.

I might act like I hate Charlie, but in truth, she was one of my favorite siblings. Sure we argued a lot and called each other plenty of concerning things, but she was still my sister. "No she's not! Even if she was, that gives you no excuse to stab her! Audrey said she almost died because of you!" I yelled, getting back in Ellas face. "Let's just get her and go back to Luke." Ella said, trying to change the subject.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "Wow, real mature. Just change the subject." I said before walking away. I needed to clear my head and check on Charlie. As I walked away from the labyrinth entrance, I noticed a red stain on the ground. I looked back at Ella and flipped her off.

After I walked away from them, and got to my cabin, I saw Bea in there with Charlie. Bea and Charlie were the type of friends to say they were "married" even if the other person was dating someone. "Charlie you can't keep this up! You're going to get seriously hurt!" I heard Bea yell from inside. "Bea! I've already told you, I chose this! I know what I'm doing!" Charlie yelled. Camp knew what Charlie was doing.

I tried to walk away but stepped on a twig. I heard shuffling inside and ran to the side of the cabin. I didn't need to be caught eavesdropping. Someone was whispering but I couldn't tell what they were saying. That was when everything went black. The last thing I felt were vines wrapping around my body and my blood flow slowing down.

"That's it. I'm not comfortable keeping her blood flowing this slowly, it's too dangerous." I heard someone say. My vision was blurry as I was waking up. "Hold up Vicky, let me help you." I heard Charlie say, walking towards me. "No! You're not going near her!" I heard someone else yell, pulling Charlie back. "Bea! Why don't you worry about Pollux and your dad, I'll worry about Vic!" I heard Charlie yell, shoving Bea out the door.

"How are you feeling?" Charlie said, checking my eyes. Considering how much she was in the infirmary, it shouldn't surprise me why she knew what to do. She was bound to pick up a few things. "I feel fine." I said, shoving her arm out of the way. Charlie just rolled her eyes and walked away. "I was trying to help you. You know that right?" Charlie asked, crossing her arms and leaning against the wall.

"Why do they know about you joining Luke?" I asked, ignoring her first question. "Did Luke not tell you? I'm pretending to spy on Luke for camp, but really it's the opposite." Charlie said, chuckling. "Okay then. Why did you and Bea knock me out?" I asked, still suspicious of her.

"I haven't told the whole camp. I wanted to make sure it wasn't anyone who didn't know. I can't get compromised, you of all people should know that." Charlie explained, walking to her bed to sit down. She was looking paler than before. "Do you know who stabbed you?" I asked. Charlie looked at me quickly. "Do you?" Charlie asked.

I nodded my head, "It was Ella, she stabbed you. I saw your blood on the ground by the labyrinth entrance." I said, looking at the ground. "There was also more than one pair of footprints. Ella also said there was someone else with you, I'm assuming it was Ethan right? No one else who could've compromised us?" I asked, looking back up.

"It was just me and Ethan." Charlie said, nodding. "So, you and Ethan Nakamura? Him of all people?" I asked, teasing Charlie. Charlie blushed and threw her pillow at me. "What about you and Olly? What's going on there?" Charlie asked. This time it was me blushing and throwing a pillow.

We both left and went to the last thirty minutes of our first activity. At least that's what Charlie thinks I did. I had to find Ella and Liana, we've been compromised. After both finding and explaining what happened to Liana and Ella, we camp up with a plan. We'd play it off until lunch and then we'd get Charlie and go.

After the first activity of the day, I went to my second, archery. My second activity used to be sword and armor making, then I learned Olly was helping Chion teach archery so I changed. Olly and I always teased each other for not knowing the language the other spoke. While I was learning French (Olly didn't know any French), she was learning Spanish (Yes, I know Spanish, but Olly doesn't need to know that).

"Mi amor, you're aiming the bow wrong again." Olly said, walking up behind me to help me aim. "No I'm not. I'm holding it the way you taught me chérie." I said, teasing her in some of the French I knew. Gods I really hope she wasn't lying when she said she didn't speak French.

"Now what does that mean? Fire the bow now." Olly said, stepping back. "You'll never find out chérie." I said, getting close to her face. It was almost lunch now, we only had two activities before and after lunch. "Come with me." I said, without thinking. "Go with you where?" Olly said, getting closer.

"To Luke's ship." I said, it was only a second after that I realized what I had said. My eyes widened and I started to back away. That's when Chiron announced lunch, and I ran. Me, Ella and Liana had agreed that we would leave in the middle of lunch. I would ask Charlie if I could talk with her at the cabin and I'd knock her out.

There was one slight problem, I didn't know how I'd knock her out. I couldn't just knock her out cold, we'd need to talk to her, but we'd need her out while we decided what to do. And there was also the fact that I might have given myself away to Olly. That could be the thing that kills me. I knew how Luke would react, but Kronos? Even though he's technically my grandfather, I didn't think he'd be all that nice to me, he did eat his kids after all, including my dad.

As I walked past Cabin five and sixes tables, I did our sign. The plan was in motion. "Hey Charlie? Can I talk to you at the cabin? It's important." I said, giving her a look. "Yeah, give me a minute, I have to talk to someone." Charlie said, getting up. "Is it Ethan?" Percy asked, glaring at the back of the head of the Son of Nemesis. "If you must know, it isn't. I have to talk to Nico. Though I think I will talk to Ethan, just to piss you off." Charlie said, before flipping Percy off and walking away.

After a few minutes Charlie walked into the cabin. "VIcky? Where are you?" Charlie asked, looking around. I ignored her questions and focused on her blood flow. Charlie was the only one of us that knew completely how to slow down the blood flow without killing the person they were controlling. After a few seconds Charlie fell and Ella and Liana walked in.

"We have to take her back to the ship." Liana said, no one had been talking for a while. I was still mad at Ella, and Ella was too stubborn to say sorry so Liana had to improvise. "Fine. When are we leaving?" I asked, looking out the window. "Now." Liana said, "What's wrong? You look anxious." Ella asked. "I accidentally told Olly about the ship! She knows I'm on Luke's side! I've been compromised." I yelled, looking down.

"It doesn't matter. Camp's about to find out Ella stabbed Charlie soon. That sword competition, it was to find out who stabbed her." Liana said, looking at us. "Wake her up. We have our decision." Ella said, looking at me. I nodded my head and let Charlie's blood flow return to normal. While Charlie was waking up, we all got our weapons ready.

I got my sword out of its sheath. Ella got her rope with the knife, I always forgot the name of it. Liana got her twin daggers out of their sheaths just as Charlie sat up. "What did you do Victoria?" Charlie asked, her hand going to her pocket.

"Keep your hands out of your pocket Charlie, we're just going to talk." Ella said. "Oh yeah, just a talk. What is it about? Killing me? Or what, the types of weapons you have?" Charlie asked, sarcastically. "We're taking you back to the ship." Liana said, lowering her blades.

"I'm not going back there!" Charlie yelled, standing up. "Keep it down! You're going to blow out cover!" I yelled at Charlie, moving in with my sword to make her fall back on her bed. "Someone knows we're here. We have to leave, now!" Ella yelled, looking at me and Charlie. Grudgingly, Charlie stood up and helped me mist travel all of us to the Princess Andromeda. Luke was going to be happy we were back, hopefully.
