A/N: Hey guys, this is a story set in an Alternate Universe where the Romans and Camp Jupiter never existed. It's set in 2038, and follows a new generation of Demi-Gods.

I crept through the bushes behind Zeus' Fist, Celestial Bronze sword glowing dimly in my hand. That wasn't helping me stay hidden, but thankfully, the two defenders of the Flag were busy snogging. Typical Aphrodite kid, caring more about sucking faces off than the Flag. I got close enough, then burst out of the undergrowth, slicing across the Aphrodite kid's arm before kicking her in the knee as she spun to face me. I heard it crack as it bent inwards. The other kid looked pissed. He slammed me in the chest and I went flying backwards into the bushes, but just then a blast of crackling orange energy brought the hlaf-blood Sonf of Aeolus to his knees. I saw Sophie, the beautiful child of Aeolus, striding towards the flag from behind, ornate runed staff resting lightly in her hand. Her light blonde hair, almost white, stayed perfectley styled despite her having crept through the undergrowth with me to get to Zeus' Fist.

"Stop drooling and get up!" she shouted at me.

"Uh... right..." I muttered as I climbed up.

I wasn't as p- lucky as her, and I was covered in moss and the sleeves of my shirt were slightly torn, probably by prickly bushes.

"'Prickly?' Really?" she asked.

Yeah, forgot to mention, she could sense what you were thinking. That creeped me out.

"It's a real word." I retorted.

"Shut up." she said.

"Being a child of Athena, I know these things." I continued.

"Owwwwwwwww!" cut in the child of Aphrodite.

Sophie blasted her with orange energy, and she went out cold. Ouch.

"It's painless." said Sophie, as a figure appeared behind her.

I was about to shout for her to look out when she dived to the floor. I hurled a knife, which the figure batted aside with a Stygian Iron sword. Sophie got back up and looked to see who it was. Henri, Son of Hades. Is it just me or do they all have foreign names? Sophie fired off a blast of her trademark orange energy at Henri, who blocked, absorbing it into his sword, and leapt at her. She sidestepped at my thought and I threw another dagger, tearing open Henri's shoulder. He stumbled back into a shadow and vanishedm relaced by a Skeleton. Sophie's blast had no effect on the skeleton, with slammed her with it's shield then raised it's sword. I sprinted forwards, throwing a dagger. I timed it just right, and my dagger cut off the skeleton's hand, making it drop it's sword into Sophie's waiting hands. Then I threw another dagger at the shadows behind Sophie, and a second before it hit one of the stones making up Zeus' Fist, Henri appeared and was hit in the chest. Well damn. Hopefully he'd be o-

"We're enemies, leave him." Sophie ordered.

"But this is just Capture the Flag. The knife missed his lungs, looks about 2 centimeters low, bu-" I started.

"Alright, I'll send up a signal." she Snapped.

A blast of orange energy flew into the clowds, and a few arrows flew our way.

"Good plan, Smartass!" she spat.

I threw a dagger, hitting the base of the flag and causing it to fall into my waiting hands. Then I bolted off into the forest, headed for a route that would take me away from the archer's positions. I heard a fight ahead, and saw a glimpse of a flag with and Owl on it. I threw a dagger, hitting the arm of it's holder. They dropped it and I burst into the clearing, drwaing my sword. My half-sister Jennasa was out cold, and two angry Ares kids were glaring at me, one holding a bloody dagger it their hand, the flag on the floor beneath them. I glanced around and saw a suitable fallen branch, then nudged it into position. They ran at me and the first one, who was holding my dagger in their unwounded hand, stepped on the back of it and it flung up, hitting him in the nose and throwing leaves into the air. I slid forwards, dodging a wild spear lunge, and sliced a thin cut on the attacker's forehead as the leaves touched down. He staggered and clutched his head, but he'd be fine. However, the other kid was even more pissed now, blood dripping from the nose AND hand. He lunged at me. I sidestepped and swung for his side, but he was too fast as he blocked with ease, then countered by slashing a deep gash in my leg. I swore and tumbled back as they kicked me in the chest. They were about to stab me with my throwing dagger when a blast of energy hit them in somewhere private.

"Thanks." I mumbled, turning to face Sophie.

"Give me the flag, and help your sister." she ordered.

"Half-sister." I said as I threw her the flag, trying to glare at her.

It didn't work, as she just smiled and I was defeated by her good looks. Damn her. She sprinted off and I knelt down to help Jennasa. She had a spear wound in her arm, and bruises on her face. I got out the vial of nectar I kept, and poured a few drops onto her wounds, then I put the vial back as she woke up, revelaing her grey eyes. We had them in common, but her hair was long, blonde and curly. My hair was more like Athena's, being black. But not long. My hair was short. I gave Jenassa a hand up, then told her Sophie was on her way back with the flag.

"You trusted her with the flag?" she asked.

I mumbled something like; "Hard not to."

"You've got to resist her charms, Tom! That could be your fatal flaw!" she said.

"She's on our side, she's no threat." I countered.

"I meant being controlled by charming girls, not her in paticular." Jenassa said.

"Uh... I knew that." I bluffed.

"Sure you did." she said, rolling her eyes.

I stayed silent as we headed to where Sophie was lifting the flag while darting to victory. Jenassa strung her shortbow and shot one of Sophie's pursuers in the foot, then 'missed' her next shot and hit Sophie's arm. Sophie swore and dropped the flag just as she crossed the boundary and won the match. The clapping wasn't very entuhsiastic, and Sophie was glaring at Jenassa.

After the match, she bumped into us and our half-brother Mark on the way back to the cabins, with a bandage on her curvy, tanned arm, and a snarl on her perfe- Damn It! Anyway, she was snarling at us, and Jenassa in paticular.

"Slu-" she started, but Jennasa hit her in the face.

She raised her arm and Jenassa fell to a burst of orange light. I stepped forward to help her but Sophie smiled seductivley at me. DAMN IT! Mark was about to hit her when she whipped around to smile at him to, and he backed away, blushing. She kicked Jenassa's sleeping form in her - private bits, which pissed me off. No one hit my half-sister there. Me and Mark punched Sophie at the same time. Sophie's staff appeared out of nowhere and she hit Mark in the face with it. Blood sprayed across his short blonde hair. I kicked Sophie back and drew my sword, but she was fast, and she hit my in the chest, then the top of the head. I fell face first into the mud, and heard Mark slam down next to me as a horse rode up to the scene.

"Enough of this." said Chiron's voice.

Review and make my day. Be as harsh a possible, and tell me how to make this better. Thanks.
