(Third Person POV)

Aethria was pissed.

Every night for the past week (and most of the days too) she was woken up to the blaring of the Mary Sue alarms. Then, half asleep, she would run out of Hermes cabin with her dagger, find Nico corned in his cabin by one of the "nightmare beauties", as she called them, and would swiftly stab it, leaving a shower of purple glitter. Then she'd go back to bed until the next alarm came. Cause that's what best friends do, right?

She could remember when the first Mary Sue came. Her name was Pearl Glitter Fayne, and no one thought anything of it for the first week. Then, the boys noticably started swooning and drooling over her, leading to the girls jealously. Pearl had only eyes for Nico, and the other guys soon went about everything as they used to, so the girls did the same.

Except for Ria.

Ria had a crush on Nico. She became more and more jealous, especially when Conner and Travis made her give up her bed in the cabin for the nightmare beauty and made Ria sleep on the floor. Ria snapped. She took her dagger in the night, crept across the cabin and stabbed Pearl in the heart. Instead of the high pitched scream she was expecting, Pearl gave a soft,

"Oh," and exploded into purple dust.

Similar things kept happening, until they put up the barbed wire fence, spotlights, burglar alarms, ect. all around camp.

It didn't stop them.

Everyone could now recognize Mary Sues, but they kept creeping in. They would come, alone or in groups as large in numbers as 25. There was practically no sleep,an-

((Alarm blares, cutting off the pointless explaination and babbling that no one cares about.))

(Aethria POV)

Ugh here we go again. Dagger check, fake 'content with being best friends' personality check, pinpoint direction of screaming... The climbing wall! yes! I hope that the nightmare beauty is close to the top, I love a challenge.

So I'm running, I'm running, blah blah blah, throwing a water balloon filled with black hair dye at some Aphrodite girls, running...

Found it! Man it's barely even off the ground. No fun.

I scambled up the wall, holding my dagger in my teeth so I could use both hands to climb. OW CRAP I CUT MY TONGUE! No time Ria, no time...

Finally within range, I threw the dagger. I got lucky, and it stabbed it in the back. It fell 5 feet before disolving into dust for the last three. My dagger clattered to the ground.

Nico gave a sigh of relief.

"Thanks Ria. Again."

"No prob. Besides, it's not like there's anything else do to here..."

"Hey, you'll get a quest eventually."

We continued down the familliar path of chattting as we climbed to the top. I passed Nico and sat on top, occasionally cheering him on as he went. He finally reached the top, nearly getting burned by the lava. We sat in comfortable silence fo a while.

Conner and Travis, at the foot of the climbing wall, could easily make out who was sitting on top. They knew I had a crush on Nico, and tauntingly began singing Kiss The Girl from the Little Mermaid.

Nico frowned at them. "What are they doing?"

I blushed. I tried to hide it, but Nico noticed.

"Ria?" he said, slightly bewildered. "What's going on?"

"I...I kind of have a crush on you."

Nico stared in shock for a full minute. Two minutes. Three minutes... After nearly five minutes, he cried out in horror.

"You're a Mary Sue!"

"Wha...NO I'M NOT!"

He didn't believe me. I could see it in his eyes, along with shock, horror, and disgust. Before I could blink, his black sword was out and through my chest.

"HOLY CRAP THAT HURTS!" I yelled."WHY-"

I fell off the lava wall, dead, no purple glitter, no glitter at all unless you count random drops of blood, and landed infront of Conner and Travis.

(Conner POV)

Holy s*** I think he just killed my sister.

(Travis POV)

That's a lot of blood.

(Nico POV)

Oops.
