"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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUIOwemMVk
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZsozEKDUc
"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFjEC2e7E7
"Oh" I was disappointed.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHIokJI167
"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"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9siCZrARQ
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLz51Nr5ut
"Yes?"She responded.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQLgN22flp
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI41WwljhX
"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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCbkH66QiO
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p7Lc1iVDU
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM9qmZANGy
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSjaASsIsb
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvg85290fW
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHivWAvmtZ
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4p9myt67q
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjkj7t2aFw
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBgWVHs3LP
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCoiYhcJCQ
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjHbg9OWIn
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr7qk8JfEn
"Really?" Evan asked.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZI5RsN35E
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2nYLTnTYH
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRyAy355tg
“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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIKBUOYOfy
"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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mo0VOwUDB
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rETNpRFHQ
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzvHTpSX9K
"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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo58QqO3lj5
"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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItJ285FgMh
"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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXldfcKWuF9
I see Evan laughing.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFZG3OJtVr
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VTHZGG8dt
I smile, "Thanks"
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y6WFq0gDS
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjxkAovdsN
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
