The New Chaos Army

"Friends"

Apokíryxe's pov

I walked back to my cabin trying to ignore the fact that Annabeth was following me. I got to the porch before she caught up to me.

"Hey!" She said grabbing my shoulder. I brushed her hand away before turning to her.

"Don't. Touch." I warned. She rolled her eyes and muttered, "whatever."

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Oh, did I forget to introduce myself, I am Apokíryxe, Commander of Chaos's army. Nice to...Well not really 'nice' to meet you but whatever." I said. She glared at me.

"I meant who are you really? Why do you know about my boyfriend, and why do you know about me!?" She demanded.

"Who said I knew anything about you?" I asked slightly amused.

"Stop avoiding the question!" She said annoyed. 

"No I'm serious, who said I know anything about you?" I asked.

"You did! All day you've been treating me like dirt and talking about my boyfriend." She said.

"Yeah, but I never talked about you, unless you count the times I criticized your fighting skill, but those were merely observations." I said. Wow didn't ever think I'd sound this smart next to Annabeth. She glared at me.

"Can I leave now?" I asked.

"No! Your going to tell me who you are!" She said.

"Hmmm...I think I already told you but here goes nothing, I am Apokíryxe Commander of Chaos's army, I am also one of the most powerful beings in the universe." I said. She yelled with frustration.

"Face it sweetheart, that's all your getting from me." I said before turning to leave. Before I was able to get inside Annabeth reached up and tried to grab my hood. Emphasis on 'tried'. As soon as she went to grab it I used my shadow powers to turn invisible. Her hand passed harmlessly through me. She lost her balance and fell face first towards the porch. At that moment I felt pity for her. I'm not sure why but I decided to turn visible and catch her before she hit the ground. There was an awkward moment where her and I were staring at each other. She was looking directly into my eyes as if she could see them. Her stormy gray eyes bore into me. Then before anything else could happen I went back inside the cabin.

Scarlett was sitting upside down in the livingroom.

"Hey Cappy, how was your sword fighting?" She asked.

"Cappy?" I asked as I sunk into a chair.

"Well Comandy didn't have the same ring to it." She said. I rolled eyes.

"Gods I hate campers." I said.

"Hey, I hate them too but you have to admit, it is fun to pick on them. That whole thing with your foot in the blonde girls pizza! Her face! Priceless!" Scarlett laughed.

"Her name is Annabeth." I said.

"Why are you angry?" Scarlett asked.

"I'm not angry." I said defensively.

"Yeah you are." Scarlett said. I glared at her.

"Just all the campers with there questions." I grumbled.

"Why did you stop Annabeth from talking in the arena? About Tartarus." Scarlett asked.

"Because it wasn't important." I said. Scarlett shrugged.

"Fair enough." She said. Then she sat up.

"Well I'm extremely light headed so I'm going to go scare some campers. You in?" Scarlett asked. I sighed. It was a tradition to mess with the inhabitants of the planet.
