I heard several thuds as paintballs met armor on the field around us. I shot only when Emi told me to, glad for once that my old step-dad had been in the military and had taught me military code-speak. I shot one after another, still hoping I wasn't missing as much shots as I thought I was. Emi's voice was full of joy, and she sounded like she was really enjoying herself. Even though I knew Deathball was considered serious business, I couldn't help but find that I was enjoying myself too. I smiled as Emi shouted "Hades, Five 'o seven!" and I ducked out from behind the rock, firing off a shot before ducking back beside Emi. I heard loud swearing, and was glad to hear I had hit one of my Pluto half-brothers. By the sound of it, it sounded like Noah. I grinned at Emi, firing off another shot at her command. My static like vision was nothing but a blur of extremely bright and dark colors, all meshing together in an undescribable combination, still too blurry for me to make anything out but a static mess. I shrugged, continuing to fire as Emi shouted out her military commands to me. I was aware that I was letting my guard down, bit by bit, but not paying attention enough to try and get it back up as paintballs rained down on us.

Okay! I'll do that then XP

Xander (Zeus)

The sounds of paintballs colliding with armor rang throughout the field and I hid behind the trunk of a tree. Lyn was hiding next to me, behind a large bolder. Daring people were running through the middle of the field, dodging flying poison and ducking behind scattered props.

A black head of hair bobbed between two rocks and I froze. All aim was on him and paintballs were flying in the same direction. I growled. I was going to be the only one injuring Mason in this game, he was my target. I shot a few campers who were aiming at Mason and Nino, his brother, when the rest of them stopped. I looked around and realized they had changed their targets.

"Psst," I whispered, trying to get Lyn's attention. "I'm gonna go for Mason. Follow me and get my back, okay?" She nodded professionally and I darted around the tree trunk and behind a rock. Mason had stalked off somewhere else and I had lost sight of him.

I looked around, making sure that Lyn was behind me and no one was hiding, ready to strike me, when guy caught my attention. He wasn't shooting anyone, but rather stalking his pray, like me. I followed his line of sight and saw Mason duck behind a rock and shoot at three more people. I quickly followed him, shooting at random players as I went so as not to get shot.

The other boy who was following my target was beginning to get ready to shoot. Not on my watch, you don't. I thought, annoyed that I hadn't even gotten a chance to aim at Mason yet, let alone fire.

Quickly, I aimed my paintball gun at his chest and pulled the trigger. He moved slightly just as the blue, poison filled ball zipped past him and smacked against the trunk of a tree.

Damn it! I quickly ducked behind a rock, out of site. I poked my head up again and aimed my gun, taking another shot, and hitting him square in the chest. I smirked and watched as he walked off the field. Lyn's attention was on some random Venus daughters, aiming to shoot as many as possible in a short amount of time. She turned around once the girls she had shot stomped angrily off of the field.

"You get him?"

I sighed, "Yeah, I got him." Once again, I spotted Mason and began following him carefully with my eyes. "Hey, climb that tree over there," I said, pointing to a tree on the edge of the field. "Cover for me over there, you can probably see the campers better."

She nodded and ran off, aiming as she went. Damn, she really is the daughter of the God of War...

I turned my attention back to Mason, and resumed my stalking.

Hey, Xander, you can change your post so that you hit Jed, if you want. Because I know what the number is, I can't guess, and because I can't guess, I can't win. So you might as well get my character out.

Jean Blackheart/ Daugther of Hephaestus

Switching to first person mode. Just for now..

Watching Jed leaving to the DeathBall, waving to him. Holding his sword, walked off to the armory as well.
There was no place for me here until everyone was done with DeathBall. Walking off to the armory, making the rest of the winner's weapons. Keeping Jed's sword in a heavenly chest, waiting there by the fire. Thinking about Deathball, now I was really regretting not joining up with Jeb in DeathBall. Since I can make a weapon from anything also controlling fire, what was wrong with me? I want to join with the other demi-gods, I want to be part of something. Even though I have a purpose of making everyone's weapons and armor as well. Looking at the fire, thinking of my father. How did the other gods treated him? It wasn't wise for me to thinking about it. Walking to the back of the armory, I came across to the Axe that the fire when my mother passed away. This axe brings alot of memories, but I couldn't believe that my own father was watching me. A smile came across my face, he did care for me. He is watching me somewhere but he is there.

Its quite hard to type in first person, also I'm sorry for not being there.

~Trini Marks- Apollo

I wasn't sure what phased me, but my eagerness quickly dissolved as we stepped foot onto the field. There was no turning back now, might as well have a blast! I didn't have to worry about wasting poison paint balls, I had enough aim to shoot an apple off of someone's head. I gave Cailan a small smile before he aimed at a blonde girl, I thought I had saw them hanging around near the Poseidon cabin, maybe they both were children of Poseidon. He missed, and quickly dived under covering of a rock when she returned fire.

I could hit her. I could have gotten her out, but something stopped me from shooting at her; instead, I positioned my aim at a slender girl in the distance, hiding in a bush. Her face easily portrayed that of which daughters of Venus do, and her smirk set me off. I let myself loosen up as my paintball gun was positioned , aiming at the center of her crouched stomach and I pulled the trigger. Spot on. I never missed, and I wasn't planning to.

"Watch your back!" I heard Cailan yell. I spun around and instantly flattened myself against the ground. It was a boy from Apollo. He was going after his own half-sister. The dark paintball missed, but wouldn't have missed a beat if I hadn't been ready. I decided to let him flee, to save for a sweeter victory later. Cailan looked at me in disbelief.

"Thanks." I panted breathing hard from all of the adrenaline pumping through me. I watched the Apollo boy out of the side of my eye; he was headed deep into the field, he thought I was following. I pulled Cailan along as we slowly made our way through obsticals and into the trees. I knew he would be here soon, he was my half brother, we think alike. I was ready. I began to climb a tree until I got a good distance up, I could see the hesitation in his eyes, but didn't say anything. instead, I said

"Keep watch, it'll only take a second." I didn't give him a chance to reply.

It was only around thirty seconds before he warned me. "Apollo below!" The boy was aiming at Cailan, and Cailan was aiming straight for him as well, but this was mine. Sending Cailan a signal,I hoped he noticed, I climbed out onto a small branch and jumped down in front of him almost silently. The boy was in to much shock that he couldn't react fast enough. I let a smile creep onto my face as I shot the dead center of his armed chest.

"What was that about?" He asked, he wasn't looking at me, he was focused and on guard.

"He tried to shoot his own half-sister, I wanted revenge" I spoke triumphantly at first then my confidence slowly decreased by the end of my statement.

We made our way back to the main field pretty fast. I was finally getting into the game. Over the years I had never had that much fun in a deathball match before, and it was just beginning. Cailan made be feel safe for some reason, but there was no way I would trust him. Not yet anyway. I gave him an excited smile as we hid, waiting for our next victim.

(i'm a little out of it today , sorry if this post is a bit off)

My enhanced hearing picked up voices to my right, voices I recognized as Cailan and Trini. Cailan was going to get let off the hook, but feeling mischievous, I ducked out from behind the rock and shot off a few rounds at where I thought Trini was, relying on the sound of her voice for aim. I knew I had missed, but hopefully not by much. Just a little warning that just because I was blind didn't mean I wasn't able to shoot and take chances just as well as the rest of them. I grinned at Emi, adrenaline pumping through me as she continued to shout out military commands at me and I obeyed. I wondered how weird and stupid we sounded to the others, with her shouting out commands at me. It made me feel like an outcast, just because I was blind I needed help to aim and shoot. I sighed, my grin now gone as I continued to fire.

Sorry Ive been gone for so long! Thanks for keeping Alken alive Dragonette!

As I watched Jed going in for the kill on Mason, I noticed another team was going in the same direction, but that Jed had not seen them yet. I started to creep forward when I thought that i had been to late when I saw the paint ball fly, but the splat on the tree trunk calmed me enough to continue to sneak up. I watched as the girl took out many other campers, and then to my horror, i saw as the boy took another shot at Jed hitting him square in the chest.

"Oh, your not getting away with that." I growled as I got on my hands and knees to army crawl my way up to the pair. But as I came in for the shot, I watched the girl run up into the tree and take position to cover her partner.

"Easy as pie," I breathed as i gently pulled the trigger. But just a second too late, the girl saw me and was able to dodge the paintball by a centimeter.

"Damn." I whispered with a huff.

She trained her gun on me and I realized that I probably would not be able to get out of the way in time to dodge the ball. I settled to peppering the tree where she was as I tried to make a run for it into some bushes for cover. I made it to the bushes only to see the tree trunk covered orange. I smirked, but noticed the girl was unmarked as she pointed her gun at me again and pulled the trigger.

Do with this what you want sunshine!

Lilli- Apollo cabin

I was alone for deathball this time. Crap. I've almost always had a partner, since the first time, when I just got here. All my friends were already teamed up. Oh well.

I stood, wary, in a hiding spot halfway up a tree, looking over the clearing in front of me. I saw no one. My shoulders slumped. Maybe I was too well hidden. I began to climb down the tree, making a lot of noise in the process, and suddenly-
Whooooooosh! a stinging ball of acid whistled right past my left ear, barely missing me. Frantically, I looked around, hoping to see my attacker.

At the other end of a clearing, a girl smirked at me. That's her, I knew it. I glared back, and readied my paintball gun to strike back.

(could be any girl)

p.s. Am I too late to pick a color on the DT?

I won't be able to write tomorrow :/ so take care of my characters while Im away!

Kiara - Zeus

She, from behind her cover saw, Xander shooting the emo-guy. She wanted to shoot at him, but just couldn't bring herself up to it. Then, she saw Lyn climbing a tree, as if to cover Xander, who was now stalking Mason. She hesitated for a second before aiming her gun at Lyn, who was now aiming at a person out of Kiara's vision range. She pulled the trigger at the same time Lyn shot the person. The black paintball hit squarely on Lyn's shoulder, almost making her fall of the tree. Lyn looked around, her eyes steaming with rage, trying to spot her attacker. Kiara had her back against the rock, invisible. Lyn, after looking around some more, climbed down the tree and stomped out of the field.

Feeling bad for having hit her friend, she looked around for possible targets. But, just then, a someone grabbed her small hand and pulled behind a tree. It was Mason. He was now covered in sweat.

"Why are you out there in the open? You could get shot almost too easily." He whispered hoarsely, gripping Kiara's small shoulders. He peeked around the tree.

Kiara shrugged off his hands and backed a few feet.

"I was covering you." She answered staring at the ground.

Mason snorted. "Yeah, I nearly got killed by a group of people, all targeting me. Anyway, I want you to shoot that guy, Xander." He replied.

Kiara looked up at him, her eyes wide with surprise.

"You can't ask me to do that. He's my brother." She answered slowly.

"But sweet-heart, I did ask you, and as we are a team, you should do whatever you can can protect me. And if I shoot him, he'll just abandon paint balls and start a fight with me." He replied, coming up to Kiara.

she stared up at him, feeling conflicted. She wanted to protect Mason but she also didn't want to be the one who took Xander from the game. She didn't have time to think, as Xander came running into place.

"You are dead, Mason." He said pointing at the back of Mason. Just as he pointed, Kiara aimed, almost instinctively, at Xander. Just as he pulled the trigger, Mason jumped aside and Kiara pulled her own trigger.

The paint ball from Xander gun hit Kiara paintfully on her forehead, as her paint-ball hit him on the chest.

By the sheer force of the paint-ball, she was knocked down backwards, falling on the forest floor, just as Xander's scream of disbelief resounded through the forest. She saw the darkness clouding her vision as the poison sank into her unguarded skin.

I'm not sure if this is alright, but tell me if It's not and I'll edit it.

Mason | Deathball.

"No!" Mason roared and tossed his gun aside, diving down to the ground and catching Kiara before she fell. "Ki? Come on, Ki, talk to me."

Kiara said nothing, was unable to say anything. It seemed she had blackened out, her forehead turning a nauseous purple colour.

"Dammit, Kiara!" Mason gasped and cradled her against his chest, his thoughts racing.

"What the hell? Nice job loser." Xander snarled, kneeling besides Mason. "Give her to me, now."

"Get away from her." Mason said in a dangerous voice.

Before Xander could reply, Mason rose with Kiara in his arms. He set off to the campus, to his cabin. Inside, he laid Kiara down on his bed gently. Mason ducked under his bed and waved his hand at the shadows beneath. They cleared to reveal a large supply of ambrosia and nectar. He took two medium sized amounts of each and slipped them inro Kiara's mouth. He moved her jaw and vexed her head so the substances went down her throat. "Come on, Kiara." He begged.

Slowly, it took affect. Her forehead changed from a ghastly purple to a yellow to an irritated reddish colour. Mason took that as a sign of healing. He slumped down on the ground beside her and tried to relax. But it was hard. In truth, he just wanted her to wake up.

(Hope this is okay. And Trini can have Mason's place in the shooting since Mason is in here with Kiara. Will post Mia later )

Xander

I found Mason walking over to a rock in the open and stalked towards him. I couldn't tell what he was doing, and from my angle he looked to be just standing there. I stood up, only paying attention to Mason and aimed my gun directly at his back. "You're dead, Mason," I stated calmly, with a smirk on my face.

As the paintball shot towards Mason, he moved out of the way to reveal Kiara who it appears he'd been talking to. The blue, poison filled paint covered her forehead and she fell backwards from impact. I stood, my feet plastered to the ground in shock. Anger bubbled inside me and I tried to keep myself from punching him in the face.

He stepped away. That bastard stepped away for his own sake when he could have saved my sister.

"What the hell, you bastard!" I yelled, anger getting the better of me as my sister was lying unconscious on the ground. I'm gonna kill him, I thought. I threw my gun to the ground and got closer to her.

"Give her to me, now." With a shaking voice, I tried suppressing my anger. I had to bring her to the infirmary, where the antidote was kept, as fast as possible.

"Get away from her," Mason snarled. He picked her up, ignoring the game, and took her off the field. I hadn't even noticed the paint that covered my shoulder, but I was thankful. It gave me an excuse to run off the field after her. I hadn't seen where they went, so I checked the infirmary, first.

"Is Kiara, daughter of Zeus, here?"

The attendant shook her head and I nodded, walking out of the building. I frantically looked around, thinking of other possible places. There was no was in hell a Hades kid would go to the Zeus cabin, so instead I went to Hades'. I opened the door slowly and saw Kiara lying on one of the beds, Mason beside her.

"How is she?" What I wanted to do most was reach out and punch him, but I tried to stay calm, instead.

"I told you to get away!" Mason whirled around to face me, his eyes burning with anger. "You're the one who hit her in the first place!"

"Well you're the one who stepped out of the way!" I roared, no longer being able to keep up with his BS.

I tweaked Xander's sentence a little XP (sorry, I just hate the word 'loser' in this situation. Mostly, I use it for jokes so it sounds weird to me being used as an actual insult, especially with something this serious XP)

Lynette Milliron- Now out.

>Sorry guys, misread post with no time to edit. Sorry! Continue on!<

Sunshine, what are you doing? Mason took Kiara to his cabin, so please edit your post.

Actually, Sunshine, Kiara is already in Mason's cabin XP
