"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.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ08aVPJQ66
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ogu8e2Y5V
"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ9Q6kXU3s
"Oh" I was disappointed.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrel2uOs7eq
"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"
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNmAA99yJI
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pdGk5lyq8
"Yes?"She responded.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK3i7L5sPi
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqayALMwmA7
"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.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiOcI2yEez
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQXcLy0Jtx
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYwbDzqBH9
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQDK16SgKK
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXQnJ2wiFL
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4AFif4K6i
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Goa75aDgN
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.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrznzJYP0D
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEZjzYCv60
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05WsyZKX1h
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsblervM2b
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1PElsjYPP
"Really?" Evan asked.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLO3e91C66
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOLyyz8yWQ
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmQepi0L1P
“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.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAvpHa5CqM
"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.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf7q7VwDt6
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3lcmcXp7S
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL9BnEKQcL
"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.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK8IOLXphK
"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.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczayGSkpdI
"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.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4adFSGsjbe
I see Evan laughing.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE0PnLUS1m
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15TOYHpPwF
I smile, "Thanks"
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedxRa4AJJX
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0sILQwAcx
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
