Chaos Descends

Earth Shattering

For a couple days, nothing happened. Percy talked to Clarisse who said she herself and most of her Cabin were over the stupid prank but a lot of them still held a grudge and Axel had rallied around them to cause more mayhem. When Percy asked why, Clarisse simply said,

"Axel doesn't like your sister." Which was weird to me because I was pretty likeable.

The final blow came when Percy and I were away at sword practice. We were walking back to the Cabins with Jason, Hazel and Frank, filling them in on everything they missed when we saw a commotion down by the Cabins. Everyone was huddled around the Posiedon fountain.

"What's going on down there?" Hazel asked, coking her head.

"It can't be anything good." I murmured. We quickly made our way over, pushing through the crowd. Annabeth, Nico, Piper and Leo stepped in our way.

"You're not gonna like it." Annabeth said firmly.

"Just.. What happened? What did they do?" I asked.

"Just turn around, we'll clean it up. We don't want you guys to see." Piper said, using her damn charm speak against us,

"Piper, please, stop." Percy said covering his ears. "We want to see it."

"You'll get angry and then you'll tear this camp apart. You two are powerful when you get angry." Leo said and I was surprised by his non-joking tone. "Remember when you blew up the toilets on the Argo II?" Leo asked, pointing at Percy.

"Okay yeah but that was an accident."

"Well imagine what will happen when you're doing it on purpose." Nico said darkly. I frowned

"Get out of our way, if they did something to the fountain we have a right to know. That's our dad." I exclaimed. None of them moved. Percy and I glanced at each other. Faking left, we ran right around Leo who was unable to stop us.

We came to a screeching halt when we saw the fountain. Instead of saltwater flowing from it there was a substance that looked almost liked blood flowing from it, dirt caked the marble and the statue of Poseidon himself was drawn all over and x'ed out with red spray paint.

I could tell that Percy was trying to control his anger and so was I. But it wasn't working. The second I clenched my fists the wind began holding around us and I felt the pull of the sea which was probably Percy's doing.

"Ares!" Percy yelled, turning around. Everyone around us stepped back nearly five feet. The Ares kids were high-fiving each other around their Cabin but stopped upon seeing us.

"You can't defile a statue of our Father!" I shouted. I heard a crack behind us and the red blood from the fountain poured out around our feet. I could feel a salty spray raining down around us. Percy and I must have forced water up from the sea and into the fountain.

"Who do you think you are!" Percy and I yelled in sync, marching towards the Cabin. The ground was beginning to shake. "He's one of the Big Three and if you think we're going to sit by this time you're wrong!" I couldn't believe how in sync we were. I swear, the Ares kids were cowering, Axel among them.

I could hear the ocean roaring in my ears and the wind was blowing so fiercely around us, it was pushing our hair back. Just as Percy raised his hand, there was an earth shattering crack and the ground shuddered underneath us, causing several people to stumble as a giant crack split the camp in two right down the center of the cabins, leading form the Poseidon water fountain.

The ground was still shaking so I grabbed Percy's arm and pointed out the crack to him. The anger drained from his face when he saw how scared the other campers and our friends were. The ground stopped rumbling. Nobody said anything. We were all staring at the crack.
