The 75th demigod games

The reaping part 4

Duncan's Pov

The Aphrodite kids were not happy. Who was? I mean we are being sent into a free- for- all slaughter house technically. When the last Aphrodite demigod came in. It was Lexi. I asked what happened. Her dress was tore up and she had blood on her face and one of her heels. She also had a black eye.

"Car accident." She whispered as a beautiful looking goddess walked forward.

"Hello. I am the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite." She said her voice was also beautiful. "I will do as the others, with an exception of Artemis, have done." Two bowls appeared and she walked to the one on the right. She picked a piece of paper. "The male Tribute is..... Duncan Porter." I was so upset I didn't cry. Actually I was kind of happy. I didn't care if I was chosen or not. I walked up to the platform. Aphrodite walked over to the other bowl and picked a name. "The female tribute is...... Lexi Martinez." Lexi looked super unhappy. First, a car accident. Now, being chosen for the games. Such bad luck. She walked up to the platform. People looked at her in surprise. I guess because she was beaten up.

"Shake hands." Aphrodite said. We stuck out hands out and shook. Then we walked to the chairs for tributes and sat down.

Madison's Pov

The daughter of Dyonisis. I thought people would have never thought I was. But look where I am now. The cabin for Dyonisis demigods. I was in the Hermes cabin last year. I was claimed a few weeks ago at the climbing wall.

I was jumpy as my dad walked up. He looked stoned. But he didn't talk like he was stoned or drunk. "Hello. I am not going to introduce myself you can guess if you want but I am not going to." Dyonisis walked up to a pedestal were a bowl had appeared. He picked a piece of paper and read it. "Rick Douglus!" A guy with a kool- aid stain on his upper lip walked to the platform. Dyonisis walked to the other bowl. Picked a paper and read it. "Madison Carpenter!" I walked up to the platform hoping I didn't have a kool- aid stain on my upper lip. Or anywhere for that matter.

I walked up to the platform and Dyonisis just walked away. Me and Rick shook hands in sat down.

Maci's Pov

     Yay! I thought. Another year without being claimed. I was just kind of put into the Hermes Cabin because he tends to have the most children. The son of Hades, Nathaniel, call him the whore of gods.

     My father starts walking up. I was happy and scared. I didn't want to be chosen, but I did at the same time. I hoped that I would be claimed. "Hello. I am Hermes. If this is your first time here welcome. If you are returning welcome back." He said. "I am going to pick the male then the female." He walked over to the pedestals. He picked a piece of paper then unfolded it. "The male Tribute is..... Glenn Colbez.!" He said excitedly for some weird unknown reason.

     A tan guy with Carmel brown hair and stiking blue eyes walked up to the platform. He smiled once he got to the platform. That really worried me. But I hoped I didn't have to kill him. His teeth were so white and straight.

     Apollo walked to the other side of the side of the platform. To another bowl to pick a paper and unfold it for the female tribute. "The female tribute is..... Maci Burrnet!" He said with the same Amount of happiness. I walked up there all smiles. I was done with it. But I guess this was the perfect time to be claimed right before I die. As I stood there waiting for farther instructions, something appeared above my head. The Demigods and Gods looked at me like I was something special. Well more special then I already was. I looked up and saw the staff of Hermes. It shimmered gold. Then it dissipated. Everybody stared at me. "One has been claimed as Hermes's!" Zeus boomed. Everyone clapped. Me and Glenn shook hands and went to take our seats. It gets quiet again.
