Izzy suddenly felt a sharp pain on her shoulder.
"What are you doing! Get to work!" A woman wearing a white coat ordered. She actually didn't have a robotic voice of white eyes, which made Izzy's eyes widen.
Instead of quickly replying a sorry, Izzy exclaimed, "What are you doing? You're not even hypnotized and you're hurting your own people! What on Earth!"
Now it was the woman's turn to widen her eyes.
"How are you not hypnotized? You have white eyes!" The woman exclaimed. Izzy growled and suddenly all the water from the river started to rise.
"That's cause I'm special. And I'm going to punish you for what you've done!" Izzy said. Water swirled around her, picking her up. Her attire changed from jeans and top to a blue dress that swayed like the ocean.
The lady in white turned to the people working. "Attack them, you fools!" She commanded. The people grabbed their shovels and tried swimming up Izzy's water tornado.
The demigod spun in a circle, making the tornado kick out all the people in it. They fell to the ground. The people slowly got back up, using their shovels to help them stay upright.
Izzy suddenly felt her vision going red. She quickly realized what was happening, and tried fighting against it- but she couldn't stop until there was blood on the floor.
The demigod had a powerful lineage. She was a daughter of Poseidon, granddaughter of Athena, and great-granddaughter of Ares. Her Poseidon side was most powerful, but once in a while other powers arose within her.
She had trouble dealing with such powers, especially Ares. Once she was irate at a certain level, she couldn't control the thirst for punishment. Weapons would appear in her hands, and she would fight until she saw that the person was dead.
The Ares powers scared her. Most of the other Ares children at camp were able to control it, but for her it wasn't easy. Her three powers fought against it each other, a storm brewing in her mind. They fought for control, giving her a splitting headache. That was exactly what was happening to her right now.
Voices bounced in her brain, fighting over what was best. Sharp pains shot up and down her nerves, making her scream in pain.
This is wrong. I must make a wise decision. Maybe make them go to sleep.
NO! I must fight against them! I must make havoc!
I say I fight, but not cause too much harm. Maybe to the lady in the white coat I can cause harm.
USE YOUR KNOWLEDGE!
NO, FIGHT, JUST USE YOUR INSTINCTS!
JUST CALM DOWN AND GET THE LADY IN WHITE! THE OTHERS ARE INNOCENT!
The people looked up, and the lady in white smirked. "She's weak, quick!" She ordered. The people slowly started swimming their way up the water tornado that had become more calm now that Izzy couldn't handle the pain.
The water tornado slowly dissipated, leaving Izzy on the ground, shaking. She grabbed her head, her vision blurring.
"Stop please..." She whispered, but it was of no use. Usually, the campers would have ambrosia and help her out, but today there was nobody. Izzy wondered where her new friends were, but couldn't continue to think.
With one last shout, Izzy's eyes closed.
The last thing she saw was the lady in white picking her up and taking her to the castle.

Sakura woke up to find herself in a comfortable bed. She looked around, noticing the elaborate designs running along the walls. The shapeshifter tried getting up, only to hiss in pain and sink back into the bed. She looked at her hands and feet, to see that she was chained up.
"How do you like the bed? I thought maybe I could be a bit more nice," A voice said. Sakura strained her eyes and gasped. It was the Evil Queen, with two guards beside her.
"My Queen, you are the most kind and nice person I have ever known!" One of them exclaimed. The Queen smiled, her sharp teeth shining across the gold room.
Sakura felt like throwing up. Nice? She felt remorseful for these people, who had been hypnotized so much that they thought the Queen was... nice.
"Where are my friends!" Sakura demanded, but her voice came out in a whisper.
The Queen came over to the bed, calmly sitting down as if nothing was happening. The guards stayed by the door, their weapons ready if Sakura did anything.
"You know, I've been acting too nice today. I feel like gagging I'm so nice," The Queen started. She looked over to Sakura, who spat at the Queen.
Immediately, the guards rushed over. One kept saying nice words to the Queen, helping her off the bed. That same guard quickly called for a servant. A small girl walked in with a cloth in her hand, wiping the Queen's hand where saliva resided.
The other guard came over to the shapeshifter, scowling. "Nobody disrespects the Queen. If you do, punishment is necessary," He said in a robotic voice. The guard took out a knife. He yanked Sakura's arm up.
Slowly, making sure Sakura could feel the pain, he wrote down some words on her hand.
Sakura yelled, the Queen's smile going wider with each shock of pain that coursed through her body.
Finally, the guard stopped, looking pleased at his writing. Sakura slightly turned her hand, shock etched on her face.
No one shall disrespect the most kind Queen.
Sakura felt rage. "Listen up, 'Queen'. You still haven't answered my question yet," She snapped.
The guards were about to pounce but the Queen held them back.
"So impatient. I was just about to get to that!" The Queen chuckled. She signaled the guards. They opened up the door.
There stood her new and old friends, with rope tightly tied around their wrists. Her old friends weren't hypnotized, which made Sakura smile.
"That was what I was about to tell you before I was rudely interrupted. Your friends aren't hypnotized! Isn't that great," The Queen said.
Sakura's happiness disappeared as her mind started working. There was no way the Queen did this just out of kindness. There had to be some reason for this action of hers.
The shapeshifter narrowed her eyes. The Queen smiled wickedly.
"Looks like you aren't that dumb. Of course I did this for a purpose!" The queen cackled,"You have two options. Either you save your old friends, or your new friends! Oh, and the rest get to die!"
Sakura felt her heart beat increase. How was she going to choose? She was even tied down, so she couldn't do anything. Suddenly, voices echoed around her, saying the same thing-
Shapeshifter, you have two choices, choose the right one and save their voices.
Sakura's eyes widened, realizing this was her part of the prophecy.
How was she going to do this?
How was she going to choose?
