"Alright campers, let the game of capture the flag begin." With that we ran into the woods. From the corner of my eye I saw that Willow started veering off with the other team. I was about to yell at her but Jasper stopped me.

"She is not in the same team as us" he talked to me as we ran.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpz7epnFuW
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.

"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfpyqocNxp
"Oh" I was disappointed.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPEXEOlX0i
"Don't worry," he reassured, "It's just for this game" after that he briefed me on the teams. Our team, team red, has Posiedon, Hades, Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, Persephone, Athena, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hephaestus, Ares, Nemesis, Dike, Hera, Bendis, the Muses, and Heracles. Posiedon, Hades, Zeus, Persephone, Hera, and Artemis did not have children, so our team was much smaller than the blue team. We stopped a little bit after we ran to hide the flag.

"Okay, since I'm the team leader, '' Jasper announced, " um, Mason and some Ares kids, I…um… go guard the flag. Oh and some Athena, Hephaestus, Hermes kids go work together to make traps or whatever…" They nodded their heads and started working. Except Mason, he looked like he wanted to protest but decided to go with it, "Dike kids, just judge or again whatever. Evelyn and you…Bendis's kid" He started pointing at this hunter looking kid.

"I have a name you know" he protested, "it's Evan"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JEcPldFFC
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ3syR4N7a
"Yes?"She responded.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhPubBkjYH
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0vBLTlTej
"Yeah. Whatever" Alethea rolled her eyes as she said that. Me and Evan stared at her for a while, "Well you heard him. Let's go" With that she started to run to the otherside. Both Evan and I looked at each other, shrugged and went after her.

As we ran I thought I could hear Angie calling me, but I shook it off. We were checking underneath rocks and trucks. And snuck past the people who were guarding the river. Which wasn't that hard. But we couldn't see where their flag was. Which made me suspicious of their team. I also didn't know where I was. It was just a forest.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WghQcg7kH
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvXGSfcq6I
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkjxGznl5L
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy3dNCTjkX
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgGhxB5xHt
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzqetw4Ef9
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRAztNNCXt
I heard laughter again. I can't help but to think it was Angie. Ever since I can remember Angie has always been with me. But other people can't see her.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCvHVpPUMI
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn5XpajaYM
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCLnfIEbI8
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTRoMhQFbB
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJxSYCKS44
"Really?" Evan asked.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o2QpWeQd4
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6qjlgqLN0
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz7zpUOyZw
“No, it’s just that in elementary school during recess, I liked to take off my shoes and every where I stepped that grass would be longer. You could see my footprints.” I can hear Willow saying.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl098Frm13E
"Elementary school is pretty early for your powers to kick in. Anyways I want you here, guarding the flag with me.” someone else was talking to her.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Bmq1CVBC
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruSXxPIlKm
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAHT8oioYo
"Evelyn, don't just stand there attack" Alethea yelled at me. The other girl who was talking to Willow threw seeds at me. I dodged them. They had to be for something bad. Which of course right in front of my eyes grew into thorny rose bushes. Then it hit me. I have no weapon.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkylh5tMwY
"Behind you" Angie whispers. The girl from before had a knife in her hands. She threw herself at me. I dodged again. I have no weapon, so I have to trick her somehow. I think Willow, Evan, and Alethea are fighting right now. I can't let them down. For right now everyone on the Blue team is my enemy. The girl decides to take one more hit on me. She had her back against their flag.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBzfgue7YU
"Way to go!!!" I yell as loud as I can, "YOU GOT THEIR FLAG!!!" I yell, attempting to trick her. The girl suddenly stopped and turned around, having her back against me. Big mistake. With that I kicked her on the head. Which was apparently hard enough to knock her out. I smile to myself. That was easy. I looked over to Alethea and Evan. They have also knocked Willow out, but what was strange was the overgrown vines and trees that surrounded them. Weird, that wasn't there before.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9SdeFUgbg
I see Evan laughing.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZOiDigM19
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p2avn8GsO
I smile, "Thanks"
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLmR38pWn0
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfWqw5r91v
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
