The campers erupted into cheers that almost burst my eardrums. I couldn't tell what campers were from which cabin, but all I knew was that Tati was on my team. We smiled and slipped on our armor and helmets with a blue feathery thing on the head. Tati frowned at her sword. I wanted to ask why, but she yelled for the campers to fall back and hide the flag.
When the flag was hidden, on Zeus's fist, and the campers were in position, me and Tati guarding the flag, the game began. Tati led me over to a bush, and we hid behind it, keeping watch on Zeus's Fist without the enemies seeing us. Sure enough, within minutes, a boy about our age, with brown-golden hair like a skater's, ran through the clearing.
"Justin." Tati hissed with a smirk. She nodded for her to charge, then took off. Justin jumped when she hopped out of the bush. He held his sword in front of him and prepared to attack. Tati laughed, then swung her sword, giving him a good-sized cut on his cheek. He yelped in pain and counter attacked her next blow. She smiled as she disarmed him, then pinned him down to the floor.
"Please get off." He muttered. "My ribs are crushed."
"Then you should have worn armor, pretty boy." She smirked. Nevertheless, she got off him. He cautiously stood up, and grabbed his sword. I watched his eyes inspect her, then he took off. When he was out of sight, Tati laughed.
We went back behind the bushes and waited. After a few boring minutes, the forest erupted into cheers, and our group ran into the clearing with the other's side's flag.
I sighed in relief and looked at Tati, but she was staring at the distance.
"What's wrong?" Someone asked, but someone else stared at Tati with fear. This had happened before. She looked completely zoned out.
The whole camp was here by now, but they were all silent. Even Chiron looked scared.
Finally, she blinked. Whatever just happened, it could not be good. Everyone was silent, then, finally, she spoke.
"He's coming."
"Wait, who's coming? And what just happened?"
Tati ignored me and kept on tugging me along. Everyone was stationed for battle in different parts of the woods. Me, Tati, and some guy named Justin were going to guard Zeus' fist. Something was coming, and it didn't sound good.
"Can you see the future?" I asked, pulling on her shirt, forcing her to stop and look at me.
"Only when it's bad, now come on!"
That didn't exactly make me feel better, but we finally reached Zeus' Fist. Tati cried out, and I noticed the same guy she beat up was waiting for us. So this was Justin. She smirked at him at her hand lingered near the hilt of her blade. She had two daggers and a sword. Not exactly your stereotypical California girl.
Justin winced, but he held his ground. "We're supposed to fight together, not with each other."
I nodded, but Tati looked the same. "Fine. But watch your back." She warned, and walked towards the main pile of rocks.
"So what did you see coming?" I asked.
She paled a little and shook her head. "Not now. Please. Let's just stand guard."
I nodded, worried about what she meant. But I didn't have time to think about it, because it was right then that someone screamed.
…I'm so tired so sorry for the short chapter. I'll update soon! Love you all. TatianaBieber out.
