*Annabeth's P.O.V*

-1 year later after TLT-

Camp Half-blood

Annabeth stood beside Percy. Just 1 year ago they had traveled everywhere to prove that Percy was innocent from stealing the master bolt. Now they had one goal, to find and capture the flag.

"You all know the rules. All right you have ten minutes, to place your flags; any one attacking another team's player before the time is up will be disqualified. The horn will place the flag, the statue cabin of Zeus."

As she raced through the forest she saw the red team place their flag on the river bank. Well now I know where to get the flag thought Annabeth. As she ran past she reached the statue she saw that the Apollo cabin was trying to raise the flag on to the statue. "The red team's flag is on the river I'll show where the flag is after we have the flag up. That groove by his arm will make a great holder for the flag" she said examining the statue.

Just after they fixed the pole into the arm, Percy arrived. "What did I miss?" he asked

"We are heading to the river bank to capture the red team's flag; near the river I saw them place it as I ran by." Said Annabeth, "it's this way." Pointing towards were she had seen the flag.

"Half of you stay here and guard the flag come and tell us if they somehow they get the flag." Said Percy. "Let's go." They made their way to the bank were Annabeth saw the flag

"Uh where's the flag" said Phil

"I swear it was right here…" said Annabeth. Suddenly 24 warriors from the Ares cabin jumped out from the bushes.

"It's a trap!" said Jackson.

*Percy's P.O.V*

"It's a trap!" I yelled to everyone. I pulled out Riptide, and uncapped it. The pen suddenly grew with light into a bronze sword. The warriors from the Ares cabin changed at us I looked over at Annabeth to make sure she was still okay. And boy was she ok; she was sweeping in every direction, with the hilt of her knife. Her blonde curly hair flying, 'She's really stunning' I thought, I shook my head, 'She's your friend Percy, just your friend…' I thought as Riptide banged someone from the Ares cabin on the head; it knocked him back about 10 feet back and they hit a tree and cracked it. But he got right back up. "Annabeth! Go get the flag now!" I yelled. I rammed into someone that was about to go after Annabeth.

"Hey punk," Oh no, it's Clarisse… "Long time. No fighting. I am gonna kick your butt!" She ran right towards me, luckily I dodged the first. She came at me again. I turned and slid to my left, but she saw this coming and kicked me in the face. I flew and hit the rocks; I looked in front of me and saw, WATER!

"You're gonna get your butt kicked Percy." She growled and moved forward. I crawled towards the water, the second I touched it, I healed up. I shot some water at Clarisse's face. That didn't stop her… she grabbed my hands and lifted me up from the ground. That's when I saw Grover gallop over here to help me out.

*Grover's P.O.V*

Percy's in trouble! "Chiron, the people playing capture the flag are being attacked!" I screamed.

"I'll warn Dionysus, Grover, gather up as many campers as you can and help the others!" Chiron screamed back.

I gathered up some campers and galloped off into the forest. "I'm coming Percy!" I yelled. I took out my harmonica and blew out a battle cry. That's when I saw that Ares himself was attacking with his sons and daughters on his side. With a whimper of pure shock, I saw that Percy was cornered by Ares and Clarisse. While Annabeth was cornered by other of Ares's kids…
