"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbmR52NhIE
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekciQ4m4rE
"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0EOkVvdz5
"Oh" I was disappointed.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRTK0omiX7
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSE9z6J0xY
"I have a name you know" he protested, "it's Evan"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAXuMKCF69
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2URsTMQSc
"Yes?"She responded.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk8QVuStsa
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl6FoRRqIB
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnwXVY7fH7
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RsTTMLDxJ
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyaJ1dnfxm
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFpArfH47r
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn6UtlrCXo
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG4G2B7jxX
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlYKifp0Mp
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p8PZJqXmy
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ78P3kzWmW
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9D9IwmzTa
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkryFTXzZe
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIlG8w7cau
"Really?" Evan asked.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWVg5B2Dk2
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpxDYz59xK
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7hSMYdW7e
“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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqJV1Q7Vtb
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9fTDkSGuN
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDGj75O8Ep
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTYZqnpAXM
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdrHg0jqVx
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVafrPXxAjs
"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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xH69VcOO1
I see Evan laughing.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xnFMOoKWG
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XJjJCnUAf
I smile, "Thanks"
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeONiGvK0Ts
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC8F7ShqTl
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
