"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.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vjAQg1FBp
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6rIUNpfZZ
"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzvmSM93qk
"Oh" I was disappointed.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR1t86gyfr
"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"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImiYLjDBP9
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9jQvilbsB
"Yes?"She responded.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwTiJyUtaK
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBwEjqCv2N
"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.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZqdNGCFq3
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2dAPa4P0x
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzuzRFdePZ
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzlu7a5Cnx
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0x6zGt9TI
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5svE856la
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Nn0eB9So
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.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvcFVVsS0v
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJozohDemf6
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjima7TVi3K
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YZnTAQiV3
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCPTY5Ab3U
"Really?" Evan asked.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKnAlKT9KN
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJqwan4E8p
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UnD1JAsdX
“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.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iTDExpE8s
"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.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTzcaSVwPq
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3BEkKwqjR
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1VPJDy1SR
"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.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriKpsxt9pJ
"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.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcebSxXdERL
"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.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXFNJoldMa
I see Evan laughing.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2DzT4xthO
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiga6jdGkO3
I smile, "Thanks"
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ1LweDmoL
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G2BZH9QGv
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
