karaoke night at Camp Half-blood

4. She probably took lessons (trust me)

After the crowd settled down back in their seats, Apollo arrived in golden smoke, "ladies and gents - " the god of music glances down at the parchment in his hands. For a moment, his eyes widened.  Yet, he quickly regained confidence," please welcome, Clarrise La Rue, daughter of Ares to the stage!"

The mass of demi-gods grew quiet as Clarrise sped towards the stage, her cheeks slightly turning the colour of blood. The silence was finally broken when a demi-god, beside Annabeth, shouted, "Clarrise? She can't sing!  She sounds like a dying hawk!"  

In a fit of rage, Clarrise swung around and pulled out her weapon, a spear commonly known as the lamer around the camp. After finding the source of the voice, she jumped on him, swinging her spear widely. It found its mark, efficiently knocking out the unsuspecting demi-god. 

No one decided to speak about her ability to sing after that. Once Clarrise got to the stage, Apollo had already disappeared and Austin had taken his place at the DJ stand.  "I'll be doing Amen by Halestorm," the daughter of Ares huffed. 

A fire's gotta burn
The world is gonna turn
Rain has gotta fall
Fate is gonna call
But I just keep on breathing
Long as my heart is beating

Someone's gotta hate
It's never gonna change
Gets harder every day
It's a hell of a place
To keep your heart from freezing
To keep yourself believing

But I won't run
I'm not afraid
I'll look em in the eye
Gonna hear me say
It's

My life
My love
My sex
My drug
My lust
My Gods, it ain't no sin
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen
My grace
My temple *originally Church but changed it 
My pain
My tears
My hurt
My Gods, I'll say it again
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen

Can I get it
Can I get an Amen
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen

Life has gotta kill
Faith is gonna blind
Hope is gonna fade
The truth is gonna lie
Sometimes there's no reason
To justify the meaning

But I won't run
I'm not ashamed
It's gonna take more than this for me to break

My Love, 
My sex
My drug
My lust
My Gods, it ain't no sin
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?
My grace
My temple
My pain
My tears
My hurt
My God, I'll say it again
Can I get it?

Can I get an Amen?Can I get it
Can I get an Amen
Can I get it
Can I get an Amen

My life, my love, my sex, my drug
My lust, My life
My love
My sex
My drug
My lust

My Gods, it ain't no sin
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?
My grace
My temple
My pain
My tears
My hurt
My Gods, I'll say it again
Can I get it?
Can I get an Amen?

The Crowd roared as Clarisse exited the stage, blushing furiously. "Not doing that ever again," she muttered to herself as she came to stand beside Chris.
