"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDlbGleodm
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaeOWg7MpN
"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLFXNnwjTX
"Oh" I was disappointed.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpQizJ4TFr
"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"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2aFjwNnZg
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdo0MvnIuu
"Yes?"She responded.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uxLaB4SfY
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqwTyBOehl
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEonrwwXMBe
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J1qjH2T19
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW2nBkw541
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Eu49ppYOq
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNYAdX4H8o
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTaqceJSDh
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5XEZ0VrQ6
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNDjw1lYCM
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3UI8OYujs
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA9KPlUvJc
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNklx3YdYz
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkfqLg8J2I
"Really?" Evan asked.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk0XltF9na
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk4P92dcYn
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAeAaRWV5m
“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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfEB5mVolp
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk2OLBglM8
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAICZwZVWV
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HpnsCwvPi
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuspb0PuIpo
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFcYF44hT7
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo834BvoDz5
I see Evan laughing.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk2UdqU9ie
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiek9BWmsyW
I smile, "Thanks"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ZyOm6rnL
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMDe8PwlCb
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
