Volleyball was a dangerous sport. Especially if you are an angry child of Hecate who can easily use magic on you and win. In short, Pandora liked to cheat. Especially when she could kill a cow. And for someone who is, what, 5'1"? Killing is rather unexpected when you are small and innocent. So, when she goes to the volleyball court to let out anger, it is not to play volleyball. More like dodgeball.
Obviously, just as she had expected, there were already people there. Good. Pandora's "volleyball" playing was known. She came there a lot. Specifically as of late. Because this little chick had a lot of anger to unleash on other people. She walked on, and grabbed a volleyball.
"Let's make teams," she said blankly. Most of the kids came over to where she was standing. She blinked, "You guys do realize that the teams have to be even, right?" she asked. She split the kids up evenly, and sent some over to the other side. "Alright," she said "you guys should all know the rules. You can use magic, win at all costs. Blah. Blah. Blah dee blah."
The net was moved out of the way, and then the count was counted, and as soon as the last sound of the "one" was finished, balls starting soaring through the air. One of them - which was insanely fast - grazed Pandora's ear in the first five seconds.
I know what you're thinking. That girl is a sickie. She should be in the infirmary! Well, I'll inform you that Pandora woke up this morning, and realized that she wasn't feeling too bad - even though she didn't look her best - and that she really wanted to play some dodgeball. So, she still felt a wee bit poopy. Her body was still red and purple and blotchy and bruisy, but her feeling was much less ... ick.
The daughter of Hecate set fire to the red rubber ball that she was holding, and slowly, it began to levitate. Then, she thrusted her arms forward, and the ball lurched forward, and then started zooming to the other side of the court. It knocked out a stupid Demeter girl who was just standing there like an idiot. Pandora giggled to herself, and then a ball hit her in the stomach. Really hard. She fell on her butt. Thank the gods that it was waist-down. But her stomach still pained. Clutching her stomach with one hand - sure that she would lose the dry cereal that she had eaten earlier - she rose to her feet.
Then she saw Arthur Shrine - the very snide Athena boy - smirking in her direction. "Nice shot, Shrine." Pandora said sarcastically, and then launched a ball at him. It hit him on the leg at full force, and Pandora saw him swallow back tears. He was out. Yes. He limped off of the court and went to go sit on the bench with the others from his team. So this is what it felt like to strike out an annoying boy ... the feeling was very, very pleasing.
