Saviors of Chaos

Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Hazel Pov

I was near some of the other chaos warriors; Piper was nearby fighting one of the five girls who ruined our lives. Annabeth was fighting another. Huh, it seemed we were all fighting one of them.

Mine, was the asshole who practically forced Frank away from me. Each of us were fighting well, at least I thought so. I was in the air when I took stock of the other's fights. Annabeth was breathing hard and had momentarily stopped her fight, her hood was down. She seemed to be listening to Cally – the number one bitch in Annabeth's book. Will was giving it everything he could against Ian. Calypso had started with her sword and was slowly incorporating her plants as small sneak attacks against Dixie. Piper had her hood down and was listening to Natalie more than fighting her. Lexi had tried to talk but I wasn't having any of it.

"Why don't you put down your weapon and we can talk." Lexi asked, in a voice that dripped with charmspeak, too bad for her Piper's charmspeak was stronger and I've been able to beat that as well.

We kept fighting, she kept trying to get me to either harm myself, a friend, or put down my weapon so we could 'talk'. As I said before, it never worked. It seemed all was going well. I kept track of my comrades by their foot falls on the ground, as well as my aerial attacks. Piper had been standing still for a while, listening to her foe. Will was half listening, half fighting, he seemed to be limping slightly, he was hurt. We should have Calypso look at that when we're done. Calypso was doing her best with her plants against some type of Hectate magic her foe was using.

Annabeth was starting to lose her footing. From what I could tell she had gotten wounds so big that she might need ambrosia soon. I kept my attention on Lexi, never letting it waver. Until I heard it. That scream shook me to the bone. It was Annabeth, and it caught me off guard.

I looked over to her to see Cally bent over her, a dagger in Annabeth's stomach, the hilt in Cally's hand. A cloth in Lexi's other hand.

Lexi took this into her advantage and managed to stab me while I looked towards Annabeth. I heard other screams of pain and surprise before my own drowned it out.

I fell to the ground holding my aching shoulder.

I heard someone yell out my name, along with Annabeth, Calypso, Piper, and Will's.

Through the haze of my hurt I could see Lexi looking down upon me with malice, "go to sleep, daughter of Pluto." And I did.
