"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZvPHzIntO
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NnkQA8nIC
"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmGXHQyV5E
"Oh" I was disappointed.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrt19HIPs9
"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"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFmK9vE9Yn
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbQOhbNuJT
"Yes?"She responded.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQtrUeiZ6M
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmgfFoDMZq
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nxfV27cpH
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NHXoIiC2p
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk66YK0clxI
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadtaBBrWl6
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDWESqOJHa
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dThefihqv
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9fDcfhFSO
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyvpv20D5Y
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zlMviKZ0i
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eHlRgoQYl
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkwwsUQfK5
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyubBUYhjZ
"Really?" Evan asked.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Xs01NdwD
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIU1eh4qLC
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThWM7CK3Iv
“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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtPiblEC9y
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajYdKAXqVt
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ93PpbeI8
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryEQirgYSN
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHBBzSPbud
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0G6pC8bQ4
"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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE6cmU2Ikz
I see Evan laughing.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVcQDrUIbD
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJQcNgNTb9
I smile, "Thanks"
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSyXWkd93A
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzDFMYGuPK
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
