Olympian Games

Dam it!

Will's POV

I grabbed a bag and ran as fast as I could, Nico right behind me. He managed to grab his Stygian Iron sword somehow and bolted.

We ran deep into the woods and didn't look back, careful to be quiet and not announce our presence to any one else. Or at least I was. Nico was stumbling around, running into trees and cussing loudly.

I don't think he got enough sleep last night.

"Sunshine, would you please be quiet so we don't get caught and killed."

"Oh shut the Hades up, Solace. I do what I want." "Okay Sunshine." I said. "Stop calling me that!" He huffed. "I know you love it." I answered back and he blushed. "Do not." He muttered. I just rolled my eyes and continued walking.

At some point I took  Nico's hand in mine while we walked. I noticed it started to get clammy and cold. I looked over and gasped. He had a big cut on his bicep that was bleeding badly.

"Nico!" I exclaimed. He blushed and sat down so I could look at it. I searched through the bag and brought out some medical supplies. I have to admit, they were kinda crappy. There was some kind of cream and gauze. I pulled out a needle that was way bigger than necessary.

I threaded the needle and prepared to stitch him up. "Hold on a sec Neeks. This might hurt." He grunted and I started. He clenched his teeth the whole time I worked but didn't make a sound.

After I was done, I applied some of the cream and wrapped it in gauze. "These supplies kinda suck." I told him and he laughed.

We walked for a little while longer until we heard crashing and cussing coming from the trees. "Sounds like you." I noted. Nico snorted.

Soon enough Travis and Conner Stoll came stumbling trough the trees. "You guys suck at stealth," Nico said bluntly, "and your dad is Hermes."

"Well... your dad is the god of death so....," Conner stated. "Where were you going with that?" I asked. "No idea." Travis muttered. "Well, see you guys. Hope you don't die!" He said cheerfully as he ran off after his brother.

"Idiots" Nico stated.

Katie's POV

After running from the Cornucopia with a dagger that must have been Annabeth's, I ran into the woods. I didn't mean to sabotage Annabeth or anything, it was just the closest thing to me and she didn't grab it.

I walked for a couple hours and the sun started to set behind me. I decided to settle down for the night under a big tree. I would find Travis tomorrow.

When I sat down, I noticed a package. A note on the top read, 'From the Demeter Cabin. Good luck Katie'. Thank the gods! I forgot about the sponsors! I hoped, somewhere, my siblings knew that I was very grateful for the gift.

I opened it and inside was a cheeseburger from McDonalds, granola bars, a water bottle, and a canteen of nectar. Thank you awesome siblings! I just took the first bite of my burger when I heard a cannon go off, though this one sounded different then the first one.

Screens appeared out of nowhere. Iris messages. Zeus came on the screens.

"I'm not sure if this was mentioned in your briefing, but every evening, there will be an Iris Message like this one to announce the deaths of that day. Today, two demigods have died. Miranda Gardiner from Demeter and Pollux from Dionysus. That will be all. May the gods be ever in your favor."

I felt a sob building up in my throat. My sister died today. She was the first. Oh my gods I'm gonna die. The reality of my situation began to sink in. Oh gods oh gods oh gods. I wanna go home.

I sat there and cried myself to sleep.

Miranda's POV

I died earlier today. Now I sit in a shining white throne room. "Is this the afterlife?" I grumbled.

"Yes and no child." A voice answered behind me.

Hello dear readers! How was that? I had to rewrite Katie's POV because it deleted on me so it's not as good as it should be but it will have to do. What do you think happens to Miranda? I hope you are enjoying the story so far. Please remember to give me your thoughts on how to make the story better. I will update again soon. See ya later👋
