Sarah: Hey! It's winonabcd aka Sarah, with my friend/half-sister (not a real half-sister, btw), daughterofposiedon99 aka Caroline aka Care!

Care: What's up peoples?

Sarah: This is our first story together :) Not necessarily my first, but it is Care's, so be nice ;)

Care: Our first story together... where's the newspaper people when you need 'em! I would like to request that you do not use any flames. If you must be pessimistic about this story, constructive criticism would be nicer!

Sarah: agreed :) I've had one flame before, and it wasn't all that nice. Anyways, have fun reading!

DISCLAIMER:

Care: Percy, you do the disclaimer.

Percy: fine. Sarah and Caroline do not own me and my friends. All they own are their OCs and the plot. Besides, they're not smart enough to come up with all this. *flexes his biceps*

Care: HEY!

Sarah: please, Perce, don't that here. It's just wrong.

Percy: Hey now!-

Care: Before these two fight an unending fight, on with the story!

Caroline POV

I ran through the woods at an alarmingly fast rate. The Apollo cabin was right behind me. As a matter of fact, she could hear them crashing over fallen branches.

I risked a glance over her shoulder and saw that the branches on the ground were slowing them down, thank the gods. I slowed down a bit and turned sharply to the left. It was hard for me to see but I managed to. Somehow.

I slammed my back against a birch tree and held my breath. Soon, she heard people yelling, "Where did she go?" "Nice going, idiots! Now we lost her!"

I held back a chuckle and continued to wait. After what seemed like hours, the angry kids of the Sun God stalked off, still grumbling.

I released the breath I had been holding and inhaled deeply as slid down the trunk of the tree until I was sitting on the ground.

Panting slightly, I wondered what was going on with the rest of my team and how in the world they were getting on without me. And, in case you haven't figured it out, it is, indeed, Capture the Flag night, aka, Friday.

The Poseidon, Hades, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hermes, Hypnos, Nike, and Tyche cabins against the Ares, Apollo, Athena, Demeter, Aphrodite, Iris, Nemesis, Hebe, and Hecate cabins. I also wondered how my siblings, the twins Percy and Sarah Jackson, were doing getting the flag. I had been a scout, until I'd been spotted by the kids of Apollo.

I sighed and pushed myself off the ground. The big helmet I had been wearing, but tossed off because it kept falling in my eyes, was lying back in the woods somewhere. "Oh, well," I muttered to herself.

I turned and ran in the direction of what I thought was the edge of the wood. Instead, I just got deeper into them.

Every minute that passed, it got darker and darker. Finally, I stopped running and just looked around, trying to get my bearings. I searched for a water source. The creek. Some deeply buried instinct told me it was a half-mile behind her. Caroline swallowed nervously. She turned in a complete circle to see the way she had come. No such luck.

Do not panic, do not panic, I repeated to myself. I turned around and headed in the direction my instincts told me to go.

"Hold on there!" a voice called from behind me. I whipped around on my heel and drew her sword, Alala, or War Cry in Greek. I waited until I came face to face with...

"Lord Hermes?" I exclaimed incredulously. Hermes picked a couple of leaves out of his curly salt and pepper hair and smile at me.

"Yep!" he replied, popping the 'P'. "It's me!" He was wearing a postal carrier's outfit and winged sandals, which were fluttering slightly.

"What do you want?" I asked cautiously, lowering my sword a little. I may have only been at Camp Half-Blood for a month, but I was one of the best sword fighters here.

Hermes continued to smile. "You're Caroline Cooper, Daughter of Poseidon, right? OK, good. Well I have a message for the campers. From all the gods!"

I sighed, but nodded and said, "I'll tell everyone at Camp. Tell me the message."

Hermes continued to smile. "Zeus, king of the gods, god of the sky, blah, blah, blah, has decreed that all the gods, major and minor, shall attend Camp Half-Blood for a total of three weeks." My mouth dropped open. "Can you relay that message?" Hermes asked.

I shut my mouth and blinked once . . . twice . . .

"O-okay. Wi-Will do," I answered quietly. "When will they come?"

Hermes frowned and snapped his fingers. An iPad appeared in front of him. He grabbed it and looked at it for a few seconds when his face lit up and he smiled. "Tomorrow," he said happily. He snapped his fingers again and the iPad disappeared. A 'brrring-brrring' went off and Hermes reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone. "Hera," he muttered. He looked at me and said, apologetically, "I gotta take this. Thanks, Caroline! See you tomorrow!"

And with that he poofed out and I was once again alone. I stood there for about thirty seconds, then took off, sprinting in the direction I had been going in, shouting out all the names of the people she knew at Camp: "Chiron! Percy! Sarah! Nico!"

I didn't know how the campers would take, but I had to tell them anyways, because the gods were visiting camp.

Care: So how did you like it? Drop us a review telling us! I'd appreciate it!

Sarah: So would I! If you review, we promise weekly updates! And if you give us tons of reviews, we'll try twice a week! Ciao!

Care: Au revoir! (That's goodbye in French!)
