Us Against The World

chapter 14

Cassie

Next, we are going to the archery range and lava wall. Andi had her quiver and bow slung over her shoulder. It was silver and imperial gold. Her arrows were a mix of every metal in existence. But they were charmed to look silver.

"I bet I can beat you over the wall," Andi yells running. Her bow hinders her speed by a millisecond and I catch up. I shove my pen between my teeth. I grabbed the wall starting to climb. Andi used her weird jumping skill and was 3/4 of the way up by the time I even touched it. I scrambled as lava started to fall and the walls closed in. I pulled my foot out as the lava rose to where I had just been and the walls snapped together. Andi was running to the end of the wall and jumped. Gods I hate her skills at times.

"Andi, no fair!" I yell to her. She runs back to the wall, pushing off the ground hard. Next thing I know she is next to me.

"Fair now?" She asks pulling her bow from her back. She isn't going to seriously shoot from here? Poseidon's children are horrible shots. She pulls a practice arrow from her quiver. She lines it up and gauges how far it is. She inhales then exhales. She lets go and it flies between Percy and Nico. It hits a small target about 200 feet away from where we stand. Dead center.

"For you I'll climb down the wall." She says going over the side she falls about 2 rocks before grabbing one and scaling down the rest of the way. I am surprised she isn't faster than spider man himself.

"Who shot that incredible shot?" Percy asks as I jog over. I pointed to Andi. He laughed at her.

"I doubt it," he says.

She pulls another arrow and shoots while running. It flies over his head hitting dead center of a target. He shuts up and nico smirks. You can tell they like each other. The only problem would be Percy being an over protective jerk about it. He is so handsome. No, he has a girlfriend. I left my thoughts of the green eyed boy to myself.
