"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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PmOpmxHFS
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCVURJjbYQ
"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjVrFRyGr2
"Oh" I was disappointed.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRaaDfHWZ7
"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"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBqmzUsADj
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuOFsxNu6W
"Yes?"She responded.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPZTHZOe4g
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpeoKrcEOm
"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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDw5JbeUDR
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa0AchPASN
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWLzPRjZd3
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1BM30q2RJ
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjwTylWten
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAebY5L572x
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGjl8Z7DgR
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFj5PCBREp
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqvTP7v3rB
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8fBVkoaIT
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdvSltZTNq
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKtkuUdSIz
"Really?" Evan asked.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhxzA8Q7Zv
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMhiChJS9o
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupmjEMYVn0
“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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1BhfRMMWw
"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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF4aLQf73T
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX57uH4hf7
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrKvc9G1DM
"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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl1p2hJAuV
"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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmsc7FueNj
"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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9OAAkAnWE
I see Evan laughing.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6j6SyVSlb
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK15Qk5VdjZ
I smile, "Thanks"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF1nYnZnSs
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKbltgrTp7
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
