Betrayed and Alone

Training(22)Part 5

  Omega's POV    

           I yawned- I slept like a rock! I tried to get up and stretch, but a certain furry wolf was snoring on me. Spike must have put on weight- he's really heavy. I shoved him off of me, and he woke up with a yelp. "You snore." I complained. "Well, you make a horrible pillow." Spike shot back, stretching. I frowned, remembering that the night before I had locked the door. "How did you get in here?" I asked, deciding to change the subject. "I picked the lock." My dad said this as if it should be obvious. I glared at him, and jumped off the bed. Almost immediately did I fall back onto my bed. My legs wouldn't hold me- it was as if I had jelly for legs. Now that I think about it, I was felling pretty groggy.

            In other words, I couldn't think straight. I blinked, and I realized now that everything was blurry. "What the f*ck?" I mumbled, and then I saw the blurry face of Spike, looking down at me with concern. "You must have been drugged." I heard Spike's voice, but it sounded distant. "Are you okay?" Spike's voice sounded as if it were underwater. I faintly shook my head, and then I realized that I had been drugged. I knew it, but I didn't know how. I used pills that substituted my food.... The pills! Of course! I tried to get up, but I only twitched. The evil laugh I had heard deep in my dreams- that was it. It had been the person who had drugged me. It couldn't be a camper, or a god.... Only Chaos or someone with Chaos' blood (kin) could enter besides members of his army....

           Someone with the same blood as Chaos.... I fought against the grogginess, knowing the answer but unable to realize it. As I was being pulled into darkness, those words echoed in my head: Someone with the same blood as Chaos.... Order! The answer came to me as I was yanked into the darkness, and that was that. I barely managed to flash the answer in my eyes to a concerned Spike before I was devoured by the darkness.

Spike's POV 

        I watched as Omega fought against whatever he was drugged with, unable to help. I gazed into his eyes, and saw the answer flash in his eyes before they closed. I sighed as I put him back in the bed- he was out cold- and left the room. My suspicions were confirmed: Order, Chaos' evil brother, had drugged Percy. I shook my head and stalked into the training room. I snapped at Jack, and the coward screamed and ran away to the other side. "Where's Omega?" Sarah Winter asked, her icy blue eyes piercing. Every demigod looked at me, wanting to know. I yawned and studied my claws. "He told me that all of you fight like fools, and that if he had to spend another second watching Jack swing his sword like he didn't know how to use it, somebody was going to die." I offered, not bothering to sugarcoat what I had smelled from his emotions.

          Sarah looked at me, stunned, and she frowned. "Do we really fight like fools?" The daughter of Hecate asked me, suddenly self-conscious. "Compared to how even the weakest member of our team fights, yes, you do." I answered truthfully, and I hid a smile. Looks like Omega has an admirer, and I can't wait to tease him about her. Suddenly, Clarisse, charged me, slashing her sword. I reared, reacting, but she managed to slash off a clump of fur. "Hey! That was my favorite clump of fur!" I protested. "Expect the unexpected." The wanna-be barber offered, relaxing when I didn't attack her. 

        She used my own saying against me! "You're right..." I decided, before swiping at Clarisse La Rue. My claws swept her legs out from under her, and in less than a second she was trapped underneath my claws. "Expect the unexpected, La Rue." I purred, no doubt that victory was gleaming in my golden eyes. "Okay, now let me up!" Clarisse snapped. "Hmm.... Don't feel like it," I yawned, smiling mischievously, "I want revenge." "Well, I, er, got places to be." Clarisse said, her brown eyes widening in horror. "I don't think so- an eye for an eye." I said almost evilly.

        The daughter of Ares yelled in defiance and struggled against my heavy paws, but though I admired her strength, I did not let her up. I pressed her down heavily with my left paw and raised my right paw. My claws gleamed like swords of justice as I let it fall towards her head. "LET ME GO!" She screamed. "Nope." I answered simply. I pressed her into the ground and held her there as I gave her a new haircut. I made her hair short enough that it wouldn't get in the way while she was fighting, but long enough that you could tell that she was a girl. I made her new hairdo look slightly ragged, so she looked like she meant business, sorta like Thalia's hair, but better looking. When I was done, I lifted my paw and leaped high enough that I was able to keep a tight grip on the beams of the arena.

           "Do you like your new hairdo, Miss La Rue?" I said formally, trying to stop smiling. "Why, you little..." Clarisse snarled as she staggered to her feet, breathless after I had practically crushed the breath out of her. I tossed a small mirror to her, and she, thank Chaos, caught it. After all, I don't want to be the reason she has 7 years of bad luck. The daughter of Ares looked at her hair with interest. "You're OK at cutting hair." She decided. Obviously! "So, now you got a haircut, let's train!" I howled eagerly, letting go of the beams and landing right on the fool of the camp: Jack. "You're on!" Clarisse said with excitement, looking surprisingly eager. I grinned, this was going to be fun!

After many hours of life threatening training..................

      I decided to be generous and to let the campers stagger back to their cabins, and luckily, none had died. I had to admit, I was impressed with their progress. I stretched and padded over to the Chaos Cabin and charged into Big O's room. He had woken up, and was looking around, looking a little groggy. "BIG O!" I cheered. "And you wonder why I lock the door." He muttered under his breath. "The campers are making progress." I offered. He stared at me as if I were insane with his gold flecked sea green eyes. I like to think that I made them look better. "ALL THE LADIES LUV LEO!!!" Flame charged randomly into the room on fire. "Nu-uh! All the ladies luv SPIKE!" I howled and set myself on fire. "Oh, Chaos help us." Omega muttered. I wonder why.
