I haven't done much in the way of fighting monsters, I've always made traps for them or tricked them into fighting Annabeth Chase daughter of Minerva.
But this time I went hand to hand combat with monster crabs.
Okay so maybe I only did it to impress a girl.
There are just some times where pranking a monster isn't as impressive as slicing them up with a sword.
My biggest mistake, I should have never left the game to help out the most…I've said enough already, I don't want to spoil it for you.
So this is how it all started, Conner and I were getting ready for the big capture the flag game. there was a lot of excitement, because the Mars cabin was ready to bound anyone who stood in their way, which just so happen to be me and Conner, along with the rest of the Mercury cabin, pulse the Vulcan cabin the Apollo cabin and the Neptune cabin which only had one person in it, but not just any Jon Doe, it was Percy Jackson one of the only half-bloods around that is a child of one of the big three, besides Thalia Grace, who spent her days as a tree.
On the opposite team was Mars, Minerva, Bacchus, Venus and Ceres.
That was bad news, if the two war god cabins were together, it meant who ever was against them might not make it out of the game alive.
Though we would have rather faced them then a herd of ten foot crabs.
Conner had come up with an idea that would blow the red team away or at least it might be a good distraction, so Percy and Beckendorf son of Vulcan could sneak around and capture their flag, I hoped this time Conner's idea wouldn't end up with us regretting ever going threw with it. Conner's good at coming up with pranks and strategies but some times his ideas come back and nips us in the butt, like that one time we painted a mango gold and wrote for the hottest and left it in the Venus cabin, it was funny while they were fighting over who the hottest was, but then they figured out it was us. I never knew they made permanent makeup till then, and thanks to Conner we looked like clowns for at least a decade.
After that I learned to be more cautious and every time he came up with a bright idea and I would give it serious thought before throwing it into high gear.
We were about to but his Idea into effect, when a girl with blond hair and gray eyes ran up to us, at first I thought it was Annabeth but I realized differently when she spoke, her voice was a whole lot softer and kinder sounding, Annabeth sounds like she's trying to pin point you weaknesses.
"Are you Conner and Travis?" she asked sounding a little out of breathe and with a hint of panic in her voice.
"Yeah," I said "Is there something wrong?"
She nodded "Katie Gardner needs you help!"
Katie Gardner was a daughter of Ceres and ever since she gave me a flower that turned out to have a curse on it, (which we won't go into the gruesome details) I had been in love with her, though Conner says I'm stupid and should get a life, I think he just jealous.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"She was ambushed by monster crabs over by Jupiter's fist!"
"Great Scott!" I exclaimed "Conner forget about our idea, we've got to help Katie!"
"Great Scott?" Conner repeated, I pretended I didn't hear him.
I was about to follow the daughter of Minerva when Conner said "Wait! She's on the red team, how do we know she didn't find out our idea and is just trying to distract us for they can win?, that and we don't even know her."
I laughed and put my hand on Conner's shoulder "I'm sure its fine, there's no way anyone could have figured out our plan."
" Look at her!" Conner said "Its easy to tell that she's a daughter of Minerva." He had a good point but I wasn't about to take that chance, if Katie really was in trouble I was going to help her.
"Dude don't worry about it lets just go help Katie and then we can come back here and help out in the game, I'm sure they can manage with out us for a little bit."
Conner shook is head "You can go, but I'm staying here."
The daughter of Minerva came over to him and smiled "We could really use your help Conner, she said "Besides who else will eat all the candy bars I got in my satchel?"
Conner's eyes widened and he licked his lips "Okay but as soon as we're done we've got to help out our team."
"Of course." I said chuckling to myself, if you want to convince Conner into doing something for you just wave a chocolate bar in his face.
"By the way." the girl said turning towards the woods "My names Miley."
