(Previously on Chapter Eleven, Cinder found a cursed axe that might've been from an enemy. Cinder acted differently while holding it, and Annabeth saved her from it. After that, Cinder found that Reyna had sent her something, only Annabeth knowing Reyna would visit, Cinder was surprised. Reyna and Cinder get a bit frisky, but they are interrupted since Chiron had an announcement.)

*(3rd Person POV)*

When Reyna and Cinder had arrived at the campfire, most of the seven had already heard the news from Piper. Reyna couldn't meet anyone's gaze, however, Cinder could. As the two sat down, Percy wiggled his eyebrows and spoke up teasingly. 

"Sooo.. how did her mouth taste?" Cinder looked at Percy before sneering playfully, her voice playful to Percy. "Better than yours, from what I heard from Ann." Jason and Frank started to laugh as Cinder and Annabeth fist bumped.

Percy gasped and put a hand to his chest, seeming almost hurt by Cinder's words. Reyna wrapped her arm around Cinder's shoulders and gave a smirk to Percy, her possessive side showing. Leo nodded and gave a thumbs up. "I support, but who's top?" Leo smirked as Reyna's smirk faltered.

Cinder looked at her brother and smiled innocently, speaking up to Leo. "Personally, I think I'm the one who's topping." Hazel looked at Leo and Cinder and asked innocently. "As in like.. bunk beds? I don't get it-"

Cinder shuts her mouth as Leo starts, but Annabeth and Nico stop him. Piper was trying to explain it in the most innocent way possible, but Hazel ended up just assuming it was something inappropriate and moved on. Reyna's grip on Cinder tightened as Drew looked their way.

"Oh, calm down you jealous little girl. I talked to Drew. Or tried. It's fine." Piper said with a nonchalant voice, Reyna's gaze softened and went back to Cinder, Reyna closed her eyes and spoke up calmly as she rested her head on Cinder's shoulder.

"Still, I dislike her." Cinder chuckled and responded to Reyna with a soft voice. "You're not the only one." Reyna smiled slightly, and then Chiron cleared his throat. All eyes were on him, all voices went silent, and the tension felt rather intense. Chiron started to speak after some time of looking around, probably to make sure everyone was there.

"Ahem. As many of you have heard, we have a cursed weapon in our camp. This will stay in my office for safe keeping, but whoever found it, or know its origin, come to me immediately." Cinder and Annabeth flinch and look at each other, they didn't think Chiron would be so serious. It's just an axe after all!

The others seemed confused, and looked at Cinder's and Annabeth's worried expressions. Frank spoke up. "Uh, I don't like those faces. You two know something, don't you?" Reyna pulled away from Cinder to give her a hard look, Cinder and Annabeth both seemed annoyed. Annabeth spoke up as Percy tried to speak, his mouth open, ready to speak.

"We know nothing. Me and Cin were sparring and Cin found it, she used it and it felt weird to her. So we gave it to Chiron, we think it's cursed. Cin? You can explain it better." Cinder nodded at Annabeth's words, meaning that she was right. Everyone looked at Cinder now, who seemed to dislike the attention, but spoke up calmly.

"Well, it's hard to explain.. but I felt powerful. I also felt like fighting everyone and anyone, I didn't care how, but I just wanted to fight. I started to argue with Ann, it was terrible. I heard whispers telling me to fight everyone, and stuff like that. My vision was going blurry, but Ann saved me. Don't hold it." Cinder's voice went in a small tone the more she spoke.

Everyone seemed worried, but especially Reyna. Reyna now held Cinder's face in her palms, speaking to her in a quiet voice. "But you're okay now, right? No whispers?" Cinder smiled weakly and nodded, Reyna calmed down slightly. She now was in thought, everyone was. Was more was there to say? Nico spoke up after some time, he seemed serious as always.
