I watch as Layla defend against one of the Artemis girls. The once bright girl who used to yell when someone used dirty tricks is gone. Now she's the one who is using dirty tricks. Layla and I haven't crossed paths, I've been staying in Dionysus' cabin. He doesn't care because I was basically his daughter also he knows I don't to be reminded of him.

She dyed her hair blonde and she's keeping it long. I watch as she falls back and groans. She lets her anger take over and gets up to throw a pathetic punch. Layla was easily pushed back down, "You let your anger get the best of you."

           "Whatever." She rolls her eyes and gets up. She walks over to her water bottle and snatches it up. The Artemis girl's eyes land on me and a grin plays it ways onto her face.

      "C'mon on Princess show me what you got." I nod my head and pull my hair back into a ponytail. As I walk towards her, Layla's brown eyes land on me. Her water bottle falls from her hand. While the Artemis girl puts her hand up.

     She trys to punch me and I quickly block it. Her grin drops, she obviously didn't think I could fight.

The only way I could win if she messed up. We seemed to be paired in offense and defense. She's very quick and was trying to use dirty tricks.

    She tries to hit me in the stomach and does it successfully. I fall to the ground and the girl's ego shoots up, I could practically smell it.

I get up and notice Layla was still watching me. So I walk towards her. Her eyes narrow at me but she makes no move to walk away.

      "Layla was it?" I give her a polite smile. A smile I had learned last year. It wasn't cocky and it wasn't fake. It was enough for the press to fall in love with me.

     "Princess Meadows?" She ached her eyebrows before looking me up and down.

    "Pleasure to meet you." A real smile found its way to my face. Her eyes widen but quite narrow at me again. Her gaze on me hardens and she steps closer. In a whisper she says, "I don't know what you are, or why you look so much like her. But I do know Luke Callasten will murder you once he finds you."

    My eyes widen at the mention of his name. I step back from her, watching how her attitude changed. I try to act like a scared little princess but the mention of his name set me over the edge.

     "I happen to a human — Demi God just as you. I don't know why I look so much like someone and who the hell is Luke Castellan?" I snap, her dull brown eyes widen and become glossy. She turns on her heel and runs off? I roll my eyes and look around. Percy, Zeus' offspring, and Grover were watching me. I tilt my head and raise my eyebrows. Percy started walked towards me, Thalia soon followed saying something. Once they reach me, Grover was next to Thalia.

     "I've never seen Layla get so rallied up." Percy spoke quickly. I let out a soft scoff remembering all the times she had mood swings. Apparently they just got worse — damn purity sucks.
