The Son Of Poseidon and The Daughter Of Apollo

Nine

I grabbed the bow and went to the line of people as the crowd cheered. Today is another Arena day but I decided to try my hand at archery. Let's see how good a half-succubus is.

"And... FIRE!" We let the arrows loose and while most people got close to the bullseye, I hit the dead center.

"And Cressa wins!" Everyone cheered then Percy hugged me as I sat next to him again.

"And that is one free day for us." He said and I shrugged as Nico, Piper, and Leo laughed.

"Not bad, music buddy." Nico said and I smiled at him.

"Thanks." I said and the next game started. After was the obstacle course but I had also signed up for this as well so I had to go change into something to wear for it.

I got my elbow and knee pads on then I fixed my gloves as I went to the center of the arena.

"CRESSA!" People cheered and I smirked as the horn blew and we started. I had gotten halfway up when I saw a kid fall past me and laughed some.

"Brutal summer camp." I whispered and got to the top then saw Clarisse. I smirked and flipped her off as I jumped up then grabbed the ring from the very top. I heard her yell out in anger then jumped off the top and landed on my feet. Succubi are very hard to break. Poison and drown? Easy. Break? Nope.

"Cressa!" I laughed as Leo hugged me then I held him and held the ring in the air as people cheered.

"You're really changing things around here." Percy said and I smiled then shrugged.

"Change is good." I said and Chiron took the ring then I went to change back into my sweater shirt and skinny jeans. I slid my converse on then went out as I finished braiding my hair then I sat next to the guys and Piper when Clarisse came over.

"That was my win." She growled and I snorted as I tied off the braid and threw it behind my shoulder.

"I believe I claimed the ring, not you. Oh, and when you clean the cabin, don't forget the laundry." I smirked and she stomped off as Percy laughed.

"I love you, Cressa." He laughed and I smirked as the next game started. See, Artemis? You were wrong.

I laid in bed reading when someone knocked on the door and I looked up. Percy sat up then Tyson looked up from his drawing pad as Percy stood and went to the door.

"Percy, careful." I whispered and he nodded then opened the door but I saw Will.

"Percy, it's Rachel." We ran to the Big House and saw Rachel standing on the porch.

"She's telling a new prophecy." Clarisse said and I listened closely.

"A child of monster and god shall venture to the world of the dark and cold. With four companions she shall go, an uprising they will stop. Five will go, four will return." She said and Chiron grabbed her as she stumbled.

"A child of monster and god?" Percy whispered but everyone turned to me.

"Me." I whispered and Chiron sighed.

"So it would seem." He said and I shook my head as I realized what Rachel meant. Even if I go with Percy, Leo, Nico, and Piper, one of us won't come back.

"And the other four?" Will asked then Chiron eyed me.

"We all know who they are, even if you question it."

"So Leo, Piper, Nico, and Percy get to go on another quest?" Chris Rodriguez asked and Chiron nodded.

"Well, I'd go get ready." We left and went to pack bags but my hands were shaking.

"Cressa-"

"Percy, one of us won't come back." I said and he turned me to him then hugged me tightly.

"Even if that's the case, it'll be alright. I promise." I nodded and held him tightly then someone knocked on the door and it opened to Piper.

"Hey, Leo has the Argo ready." I nodded and we got our bags then went to the giant ship. Blackjack was loaded into the stable then I turned and eyed the camp that I may not come home to.

"Cressa, come on." Nico whispered and I nodded then went to the cabins below deck and found one with my name on it. I opened the door and set my bag down then sighed as I sat on the bed. I'm going to get one of my friends killed.
