A girl about same age lunged at Ari, making the stupidest battle cry she had ever heard. She managed stab Ari in the arm. "What the hell? Did you just-you frikin stabbed me!" Ari shrieked, the girl startled, not sure what to say. With the girl without focus, Ari stabbed her in the stomach, and pushed her to the ground. She held the sword right over her neck.
"Please...don't...kill me." The girl coughed.
"Aw, sweetie. I'm not gonna kill you! Just leave you here, and you'll eventually die after running out of blood. Have fun!" She waved, removing the sword from in front of her. After this, Ari just walked around aimlessly. She wouldn't attack anyone unless they came at her first.

Krissie stood there for another few moments. Finally she slowly dove back into the crowd, mentally cursing herself. You idiot! Why didn't you attack? She betrayed Gaea. She's not your friend anymore. Krissie swallowed as the same voice she'd been hearing over and over spoke again.
Do you even have friends anymore?

Ace watched the cabin turn into nothing but splinters calmly. This was a oddly new feeling. Why did it fell...satisfying? Was it because he finally bit back at the world that had been knocking him down all this time? His horrible luck. He had always been nice. And everything still rebounded back to hit him. Now he wasn't being that kind kid. He was...sick of it.
Ace turned around and blinked his green eyes to see Caroline. Without hesitation, he charged some of his power into the card and his sword grew out in a flash of green. He stared at her for a long time. Attack, no attack...

Somehow, I found myself facing Ace. He didn't attack, just stood there, looking at me. He had gotten out of his security cabin. Well, I wasn't going to attack him, even if he had joined...

A little dazed, and sort of staring off into space, Krissie found herself face to face with Ari. She didn't move.

"Hey-Crystal! Or, Krissie...whatever you call yourself now. What's up? Remember me? Your friend? Whatcha been up to?" Ari smirked, leaning on her sword.

Krissie raised an eyebrow quizzically. Then she snapped at herself in her head. Attack you dimwit! She's the enemy! For some reason, Krissie couldn't bring herself to. Instead she whirled around and tried to disappear into the crowd...again. Why couldn't she attack any of her old friends?

Ace's eyes were different. They were calm and not conflicted. The mark on his shoulder glowed as a rock floated up from the ground. He stuck his sword in the ground. He moved his hands and molded the hard rock into different shapes. He stopped and looked at Caroline. His green eyes were steely.
"I'm so strong now...Why is it that hate makes me stronger?"

"Nice talking to you!" She smiled a bit. She looked over to see Ryder getting his ass kicked by a Gaea member. She casually walked by, and tapped the dude on the shoulder. "Excuse me, but may I cut in?" The guy looked around unsure, then shrugged and ran off. She then turned to Ryder. "You son of a bitch." She growled, punching him in the face. "Because of you, your son is going to be the son of a bitch! Because their father is a sorry excuse for a person! Go fuck yourself...not me. Dick." She punched him one more time before going off to fight some other person.

"Maybe because hate stirs up strong emotions, therefore giving you more strength." I suggested. I watched him warily as he stopped playing with the rock. "So, are you going to attack or what?"

Krissie took down a few more campers-heck, they could've been part of Gaea's army and she wouldn't have noticed-her mind elsewhere.
Melinda was trying to force her way through the crowd. Eventually she crashed into someone. Whirling around, her dagger ready, she saw it was Summer. Her eyes narrowed. Traitor.

I spun around as someone crashed into me...again. Melinda Evans...I realized with a jolt that I had been the one to convince her to join. My grip on the handle of my knife tightened, and I gritted my teeth."Melinda."

Melinda glared back. "Traitor." Then she swung her blade.

I ducked under her arm easily, then lashed out at her stomach. I swept out a leg to try to unbalance her.

Ace twirled the rock a little more hesitantly. "The Fates hate me. They keep steering me in the direction of my mother. Everytime I try to break away, the worse it gets. I don't have to fight you. Or any of my so called friends. I can just destroy your camp part by part."
For some reason, he couldn't feel anything. He wasn't acting like himself. Was this what he was really like? Why did it feel....right? Okay? Fine? Better?
The ground around them began to rumble. Large sharp rocks broke from the ground, creating gaping holes. The stones floated above the roof of the nearest cabin- Posiedon. To let go...or not let go. My, so many desicions today.

My confidence faltered at Ace's words. It was true. He could easily just destroy our camp, and be done with it. For the first time, he scared me. He was acting weird. He had acted weird before, but never like this... I was about to object when the rocks around him floated out from the ground, and circled the Poseidon cabin, my half-brothers and sisters' cabin. "Ace. Don't."

"Don't you tell me. But why don't you try stopping me?" Ace turned his gaze on her the rocks floating dangerously.
Ace felt so numb. What an odd feeling...But it wasn't him. This wasn't what Ace would do. It was the nameless son of Gaea's personality that he had chosen to fight and throw away. But wasn't that wrong? To fight who you were. He dropped the large lumps of rocks beside the cabin. On impulse, he let one rock scrape the end of the cabin roof and took off one of the cprners of the top of the cabin. "This is who I really am. I'm the son of Gaea. I'm your enemy."

Melinda stumbled but quickly regained her balance. She lashed out at Summer's midsection.

I narrowed my eyes. "I like to avoid fighting if I can." I winced slightly as the corner of the cabin was cut off.
"No, Ace, this is not who you really are. You are not our enemy. You are Gaea's enemy." My voice faltered, but I went on. "She didn't give you a choice. She controlled you. She controlled your life."

Terry stumbled out of the Athena cabin. He began shouting orders to some confused demigods and helped and injured camper. Good. He was still alive... "Get in defense! Round them from the cabins!"
