Betrayed and Alone

Graduation and Pranks(23) Omega's POV

            I smirked as the demigods practically killed themselves during an intense training session. This was the best they'd be at fighting, which was a big improvement even if their strongest camper would be easily defeated by our weakest teammate. I cleared my throat, and the campers immediately stopped and fell on their faces. I looked down at them, and couldn't stop a smile of pride forming on my face. "I'd like to announce that you have officially finished training! The best fighters in this camp will receive a new sword, a sign of their graduation. Then it will be their job to train you- but we may be supervising occasionally. Will Clarisse La Rue come up here?" I called out, and the daughter of Ares leaped to her feet and staggered over to me.

           I glared into her brown eyes, and growled, "Do you swear on this sword to serve at the best of your ability?" She didn't hesitate before growling, "I do." I nodded in satisfaction, and unsheathed one of my own swords that I didn't use and placed it in her hands. It glowed from the oath- it was a sharp, magnificent sword that was a mixture of Spike Silver (Spike mined the magical silver) and Imperial Gold. Clarisse stared at it in awe, and I chuckled at her wide eyes and her mouth that was so wide open I could have tossed Spike in there- wait, stupid ADHD! Focus! The campers stared at the sword with envy, and I announced, "That's it for today! Clarisse, what do you say for the training sessions? After all, you are the teacher, now." Clarisse nodded and yelled, "DISMISSED!"

           I stretched and leaped on Spike's back, where I lay lazily, staring at the clouds. I noticed how you chose the one friend that doubted the lies and claims told about you, Spike's voice mused in our personal mind link. I frowned and shifted, taking in his surprisingly wise words and considering them. I chose her because that proved she would be loyal until her last breath, and she was also the best fighter of them all. I had valid reasons, I shot back at Spike, telling him the sugarcoated truth. Spike shot me a disbelieving growl at me through our mind link, and I decided to have some fun with him. Spike, you need to know something really important, I said through our mind link grimly. I sensed his caution and suspicion, but curiosity finally got the best of him. What?! His voice in the mind link was sorta panicked, and I barely managed to stop myself from roaring with laughter.

           You see, you sorta look- CONSTIPATED WHEN YOU'RE USING THE MIND LINK! I roared in the mind link, my voice ringing with the truth. "WHAT?!" Spike roared in real life, and I rolled off his back, roaring with laughter. "I DO NOT LOOK CONSTIPATED-!" Spike began to roar, but stopped when he realized that a crowd had gathered around us. I imagined how it must look like- me laughing hysterically, Spike roaring with fury, etc. I finally managed to stop laughing like a maniac and stood up, a bit indignant since they saw me look like a fool. "Yes?" I growled. "Umm...." The campers stuttered before darting away, probably because they thought that I would order them to drop and give me 50 or something like that.

           I do not look constipated, Spike's indignant voice huffed in our mind link. I smirked and barely held back a laugh. Lies. I teased in our mind link, feeling very amused. Lies? What lies? Spike said innocently. "Never mind, but I think that it's about time that we had a day off, don't you think?" I replied, meaning behind the words I spoke. It's time that we prank the campers, don't you think? I purred in our mind link persuasively. Now, when you say it like that... Spike's voice was mischievous, but thankfully, he managed to keep a straight face and not look constipated. It is about time we had our fun. No one will be spared, not even our team. I decided, and I couldn't stop the evil smirk from forming on my face. Oh, man! This is going to be so much fun! Spike said eagerly.

          At night, we have the time of our lives. You can freeze the time for everyone but us, right? I began to plan with Spike. Of course I can! You still have that box full of pranking material, right? Spike caught on real quick. Yeah, and all we need to do now is wait.... and also relax and act like we're not going to prank everyone within this camp, even if it's a monster. I decided, feeling a little disappointed that we had to wait. Hmm.... But the waiting will be worth it. Spike sounded a little disappointed. I ran into the forest, Spike hot on my heels like a demon bent on revenge. First we had to relax, which would be awesome after this living hell stressing me so much.

        I ran deep into the forest, and when I was certain that I would not be seen, I shifted. I didn't even wince as my bones broke and shifted into the bones of an enormous pitch black wolf with big black feathered wings. I ran through the woods, leaving Spike behind, towards something that was pulling me towards it. "Help!" A little girl's voice. I made myself race even faster towards it, and ran into a clearing to see a hellhound the size of a mansion standing over the helpless 7 year old demigod. I sniffed her from a distance, and then it hit me: this was my former sister, daughter of my former dad, Poseidon. 

        I slammed into the hellhound immediately, and when it snarled at me, I snarled back at it in a voice that both monsters and demigods could understand: "It is in my nature to be kind, gentle and loving.... BUT KNOW THIS: When it comes to matters of protecting my friends, my family and my heart.... Do not trifle with me. For I'm also the most powerful and relentless creature you will ever know....." No, I did not get that off the Internet. Okay, I did. But that is not the point! The hellhound backed away with uncertainty, but my former sister stared at me in shock. 

       "You can not stop me." The hellhound snarled at me in the monster language and lunged at me, sinking it's fangs in my silky fur. His fangs landed in my neck, but not in the right place or depth to kill me- but it did hurt. But I did not show pain as blood trickled down my neck- instead, I buried my long and wickedly sharp fangs into the hellhound's throat. It whimpered as it died, but I didn't let go until it stopped moving. Then I slashed it's throat again and again just to make sure it was dead. I swung my magnificent head towards the half-blood. "Are you okay?" I growled softly after licking my wound carefully. "W-What are you?" Her voice was shaky, and she pitifully pointed a Celestial bronze dagger in my direction with shaking hands. I paused, and stared at her intently. "I- I'm your former brother." I decided. 

           "What?!" She began to scream before I covered her mouth with a furry paw. "I, unfortunately, know your father. He used to be mine as well." I sighed. "Is he...." She began to whisper, on the verge of tears. "No..." I answered. "Then what do you mean that he used to be your father?!" My former sister hissed, clearly angry and frustrated. I stared in her eyes, and she flinched. "He disowned me for something I didn't do, for a coward that didn't clear his name. The gods are ungrateful little-" I begin to growl, but was cut off when a silver arrow narrowly missed embedding itself in my throat. "STAY!" I growled at my former sister, before disappearing into the shadows. 

         I bounded into the woods, leaving my former sister calling for me, and kept a quote in my mind that I found in the Internet: "Be strong enough to be alone, be yourself enough to stand apart, but be wise enough to stand together when the time comes." I repeated that to myself and ran straight smack into Spike. Then I realized that it was midnight and that Spike had frozen the time- there was no need to run. I smiled innocently at him before shifting back into human. I smirked as I growled, "Prank time." Spike grinned and then we bolted to camp. This was going to be fun. 

           ........................................................................................................................................

    Me and Spike finished setting up the pranks and cameras and unfroze the time. We waited until everyone woke up.....         Then.....

A scream! I chuckled as the furious Ares spawn ran out of their bright pink cabin, wearing Aphrodite-worthy clothes and dresses. Then the Athena spawn fled their spider infested cabin in terror, and the Aphrodite kids ran out of their pitch black cabin in Gothic clothes, bawling. Similar situations were happening all around the camp, and then Chiron stumbled out of the Big House with MLP stickers all over him. It was hilarious! The Hermes Cabin ran out with cardboard wings, looking stunned. Then an ear-shattering shriek came from the Chaos Cabin. I roared with laughter, and everyone turned accusingly to me. I was the only one(besides Spike) that was prank free. Oops?
