●CHAPTER EIGHT●

-RUBY-

-HAZEL LEVESQUE-

She was still pissed about Annabeth's actions mostly she cheated on Percy and she can't forgive her.

As the walls shook, She trampled and fell over Piper. "Ouch!" She muttered placing her hands over her head.

"Piper?" Hazel asked. Piper looked at her "Yeah?" standing up while waving her hands on the air.

It was pure darkness. They can't see anything. "Do you have a flashlight?" Hazel asked standing up.

Piper searched through her pocket and felt her purse. She quickly pulled it and switched on the small finger sized flash light.

"Thank Gods!" Hazel sighed in relief.

"Lets go!" Piper said as they walked. After a few minutes the flashlight dimmed a little. "This will only last for a few minutes" She said.

They walked to a arena. The walls were red with dark grey patterns. A middle was a girl she has a short red hair and red dark eyes.

At her fingers were needle like things. "Are you here for the Gem?" she asked.

Piper nodded. The girl smirked "Fight me first"

Hazel readied her dagger as well as Piper. "Just for the gem"

The girl ran in an incredibly unhuman speed. Then Piper felt something being pierced into her skin.

"My poisons are lethal it can kill if you didn't find cure" The girl said.

Playing with the tips of the needle of her middle finger. Piper glared at her.

Her skin turning deathly pale and blood coming out of her mouth. Hazel's eyes were wide she ran to Piper.

"Oh Gods! Oh Gods!" Hazel panicked. Piper smiled "I'm...Fine..." her breath were now unsteady.

"Just get the gem" Piper choked out and fell unconcious.

Hazel gasped and glared at the girl "Let's dance" the girl laughed. 

Hazel charged at her. The girl blocked her "Is that all you got?" Hazel growled as she charged again. Then again.

"Find the cure" the girl growled. Hazel smirked and pointed at her middle finger. "That is the cure"

The girl smiled "That's right" then she handed the needle at her finger "pierce this at her skin"

Hazel hurriedly piereced it at her skin. Piper coughed violently and her skin returned back to normal.

"Where is the gem?" Piper asked weakly. The girl smiled "I'm Ruby the second gem"

A spear appeared at her hand the tip was blood red like ruby ans the handle was silver with patterns.

"You have passed the test" Ruby smiled.

PERCY JACKSON \ PONÉROS

He smirked as he saw his enemies passed the tests but how about Frank and Jason will they pass Diamond? The strongest gem of all?

"They weren't that weak after all" he giggled. He kept manipulating shadow at his hands. He got that ability from his father,Destruction. Sadly his father is trapped in void.

He will do anything to get him back.

"Of course they are strong,They are part of the seven after all" Xylene said behind him.She was Destruction's daughter and she is his half sister.

She got dark red eyes and pale skin. Her hair was silver with purple streaks. Her weapon of her choice is a sword.

She got one, It's name was Nightmare.

Ponéros turned to her "You mean six,I'm not one of them anymore" Xylene rolled her eyes "You are still Perseus"

Ponéros smiled at her "I am but a new, I'm his darkside" he said and stopped creating flames on his hands.

"You are hard to understand" Xylene said as she stood up. "You think they will win against diamond?"she asked.

Ponéros smirked at her "They will"
