I leaned out of the tree and breathed in slowly. Fresh air. I gazed at the sun setting in the west. It was a long day, about three new campers stumbling into camp, and I needed some relaxation before capture the flag tonight.
Oh, yeah, I better introduce myself. My name is Elizabeth May Castellan. Yep, I'm Luke's sister. Not many people knew he had a sister. I sort of ran away from home when I was five. Then, Luke ran away to find me and met Thalia, then Annabeth. He thought Annabeth was me, (Yes, I suppose I do look a bit like her) so he discontinued his search. Stupid brother. Meanwhile, I was alone in the woods fending off drakons and telekhines and other monsters with my two best friends, Kate Reinna and Karli Pearsiva. At the time, we were only nine years old.
Then, we finally found our way to camp two years ago. I have a scar on my cheek leading down to my neck from a drakon swipe. You can't get away without a few injuries if you are fighting monsters for three years in a row.
"LIZ! Where are you?" yelled a voice.
"LIIIIIIZ!" yelled another. I recognized them as my BFFLS, Karli and Kate. I decided to scare them.
I waited till they were right under my tree, then I jumped down in front of them and yelled "RAARGH!"
They both jumped.
Kate bounced on her heels (yes, she is VERY energetic) and said "We've been looking for you for fifteen minutes, where were you?"
I stood up straight, lifting my chin in a pompous manner and pointing up with my finger. "In the tree," I said indignantly, "catching my breath before capture the flag."
"It's going to start in six minutes, let's go," Karli practically yelled. We all sprinted to where all the other campers were gathered.
My half-brother Kleft nudged me and whispered, "Late, again? Really, Liz. We have a bad impression on other people."
"You're Hermes kids, what's the big surprise?" muttered Karli under her breath. Kleft grinned and put his arm around her shoulders. Karli blushed a little and muttered something. Words like 'not in public' and 'seriously' floated over. Kate and I giggled as Connor yelled "GET A ROOM".
"So, Ares and Athena teams please choose your weapons," called Chiron. Kate and I were on the Ares team, so we both grabbed helmets with red plumes. I strapped on my very own set of silver bow and arrows that my dad gave me for my birthday. Kate chose a spear with a reddish bronze tip. Karli was on the Athena team.
"Well, see you after we win," she called as she ran off with the other kids.
"Fat chance," I yelled after her. Kate and I followed Clarisse and the rest of the team to the strategy spot.
"Okay," shouted Clarisse, "Remember the plan. Don't let Athena win!" Everyone cheered and sprinted off in different directions.
"Good luck," I told Kate. She nodded and hurried over to hide behind a few bushes near our flag. I ran south a few meters and scrambled up a tall oak. The leaves were perfect, they blended in right with my shirt. I silently perched on a sturdy branch and crept out a little bit so I had a good view of the path. My plan was to jump down on someone if they came through. If I missed, my bow was set to shoot. Then, I wouldn't miss. Some people said I would be a good Apollo kid, or a Hunter even. I said no, I like being a Hermes kid. It's fun to sneak around and scare people.
"Look, I told you it would be easy. They left it unguarded." The Stolls jogged down the path. I silently raised my bow and aimed at the Connor's armor. The smaller one would be easier to get first. I aimed right between two straps. It shouldn't pierce the skin, but startle him enough to run away. I let the string go and heard the gasp of surprise from him. He turned and sprinted back down the path. Travis seemed a bit smarter. He peered into the trees.
"Liz, I know you're up there. You can't scare me, I'm your brother." he called. I used my other ability (I know, I'm very talented, aren't I?) to make my voice seem farther down the path.
"Watch me," I called. He slowly walked until he was almost under my tree. Right under it, he stopped and tried to look into the tree next to the one I was in. This was my only chance. I jumped down on him and screamed "YAAAAAAH!". I landed on him and knocked us both to the ground.
"It seems I have a prisoner," I said in a deep voice. *cue evil laugh* I tried an evil cackle but ended up choking. Travis stared at me with a really? look on his face. I stood up straight and pulled him up with me. He scowled but allowed me to lead him mercilessly to the 'jail'.
"Kamaria, we have a prisoner. Don't let him get away." Kamaria was a cute African-American girl that had curly brown hair and chocolate-colored eyes. She was only seven, but she was really tough.
"Yessir." she saluted me mockingly. We both giggled and I went back to the tree and resumed my post.
It wasn't long before another person came strolling down the path.

Boy, I'm getting pretty good at these cliffys. If you haven't yet noticed, some of the OC ages have been changed. If you desperately need to have your OC's a certain age, just PM me.

PS I have a secret message for you to unscramble: Evewir!
