I thought nothing of it and I kept fighting but then it bursted into flames. The fire encircled me and my skin starting to blister. I collapsed on the ground unable to breath.
"Cut the fire!" Someone yelled.
My skin was completely red and I started coughing up foam as if I had rabies. My head was throbbing and my throat felt like sand paper. I tried looking around, but the fire was too tall for me to see anyone.
"Apollo! Help her!" Someone else shouted.
The blonde guy ran to the blazing fire and reached in to grab me.
~~~~~~~
I sat in the medial wing rubbing cream onto my arms, legs, and torso. Thankfully, my face wasn't affected my the fire.
'Who would do that when they would know I would get seriously hurt.' I thought. I also thought about the blonde guy being a god. It was crazy to think how normal he looked.
The nurse brought over some food since I had to miss lunch. 'Jeez, I haven't eaten since yesterday morning and all I had was a protein bar.' I thought.
'Ice.' The voice in my head said. 'Ice.'
"What do you mean ice," I said allowed. Some people glanced at me like I was a psycho.
I avoided there glanced and tried to zone out to listen to the voice.
'The ice heals you.' It said.
I held out my hand and summoned a ice cube. I placed it on my right arm and flinched in pain as I applied pressure. I took the cube off and my skin was completely clear.
I continued this process until I got all the spots with blisters. I summoned one more and sucked on it to help sooth my throat. I checked on the engraving I got on my way to the camp. It was fully healed and looked like a snowflake. I admired it and took the bandage completely off.
I got up out of my bed and walked out of the hut and at the same time everyone came out of the mess hall from lunch. All the snow was already gone.
Evan spotted me and ran over. "Hey, you are looking much better. How did it heal so quickly? Honey couldn't work that quickly." (Honey is what demigods consume when injured to help it heal)
"Ice did it." I answered with a proud smile on my face. He noticed the engraving on my wrist has healed and grabbed it while inspecting it.
"Wow!" He said dumbfounded. I pulled it away from him giving him a look that said Its isn't a big deal.'
My face darkened and I asked, "Do you know who burned me?"
"Well yes, it is obvious. Only one of Hephaestus' children can summon fire." He answered.
"So what is going to happen to him?"
"Nothing, he didn't break any rules in the game so he can't be punished."
"What?!" I exclaimed. "He could have killed me!"
Then a boy around my age approached us. He had brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a white shirt and suspenders over it. Not in a dorky way, in a really hot way. He had a black tool belt around his waist.
He was really cute, but I pushed those thoughts out of my head. 'You aren't here to get a boyfriend.' I thought. I smiled as he came over.
"Hi. My name is Seth. I would like to apologize for what I did to you during the game. I didn't think it would affect you the way it did." I said.
The smile from my face melted and my mouth slightly parted about to go off on him.
Before I could, Evan rested his hand on my shoulder and pointed at the ground beneath me. Ice began to form and I took a few steps back causing to spread even farther.
Seth stared at me in amazement. 'Why isn't he terrified like everyone else?' I thought. 'Wait, he summons fire so it isn't that weird to him.'
He crossed his armes showing off his buff forearms. "Cool powers," he mentioned.
"Thanks, I said." I turned and walked away blushing. 'What the heck. He could have killed you and now your blushing over him.' The ice continued to follow me as I walked to the battle training grounds.
'I shouldn't have walked away like that. It was kinda rude.' I thought. 'You know what, I have every right to be rude, he burned me!'
I watched as everyone was dueling each other. Not many people challenged me, probably because they were scared.
"How about we fight?" Evan said.
I turned around drawing my sword and instantly began swinging it at him. He was good, and ended up slashing my check lightly.
I started to get frustrated and used my ice to freeze his feet in place. I laughed as I lightly slashed him, but not to an extent were he couldn't stand.
"This isn't fair!" He said helplessly. I laughed and but back my sword.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Seth leaning against the tool shed with a beaming smile looking at me. Our eyes locked and I looked down in embarrassment.
I released Evan and he playfully tackled me to the ground. I pushed him off me and stood up laughing.
I was glad to have a friend like Evan, especially since no one likes me.
Out of no where, a young girl probably the age of 9 came running onto the field. "Hey guys!" She shouted in glee. "Jake is back!"
