"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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjGFDkdasr
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.

"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8FobaQvdW
"Oh" I was disappointed.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuC7dj4fzL
"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"
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZraRYJp4I
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1yD7ilQOA
"Yes?"She responded.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaohgt6daOj
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU5mqL25ZG
"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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAX9D12Thd
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEBkHhh3lL
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D6YyKTW9k
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxZKaJA9TV
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUnDRbdN4D
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CLyKIIfxx
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoq7nz5lt9
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRJIbFcUK1
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnt0TOBVIN
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVxsakDc50
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjntPtaq4Bh
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPAAkSnZ2I
"Really?" Evan asked.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9uvZSOPaI
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVkZX5iM8n
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZyEu2Bojz
“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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwPQU2Pk45
"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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2yvkf3E7x
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOYEPbVIou
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmtGeybNrs
"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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfRHzwF3Fw
"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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafOGE8OmBv
"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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58yMakrz4o
I see Evan laughing.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQqM520CcF
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjub4iYWGc
I smile, "Thanks"
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gw8eEqDmO
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIfMbBjPcS
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
