Rachel's POV
"Annabeth!" I shouted. We were playing Capture the flag. I know you are probably wondering: Why is Annabeth playing Capture the flag? Doesn't she have more pressing matters and so on? And most of all, why am I playing? Well, the Ares and Athena cabins realised I would be pretty good if I was on their team, because, Celestial Bronze can't hurt me. This time, I had joined Annabeth's group. The Apollo, Dionysus, Zeus, Demeter, Hermes, Hebe and Hecate cabins had made an alliance with the Athena cabin. The rest of the cabins backed Ares.
I ran up to the boulder were the Ares team had placed their flag, and as Annabeth held her knife to the only guard's throat (Well, Ares is not about strategy, is it?), I jumped up and grabbed the flag .Just then, I stepped in something sticky .I looked down, just to find myself tangled in ropes. The ropes immediately started to climb up my body. Curse the Hephaestus cabin. I drew my knife which was made of steel, given to me by Apollo and hacked at ropes before they reached my arms. They split easily. Not like Hephaestus, at all, I thought. Then I raced off, passed the creek, into our territory. Immediately, our team mates exploded into cheers.
Annabeth had mysteriously appeared at my side. She had obviously used her cap of invisibility. "We got to talk." She said and without another word, she pulled me to a quiet corner—behind a large boulder and next to a tree. "What?" I started to say, but she cut off what I was about to say. "See, last night, I had this strange dream. All I can remember is…. the Roman camp. I don't know where it is, but I saw what it looks like inside. It's almost exactly like Camp Half-Blood!" She paused. "I'm telling you this because you are the Oracle… So, what do I do now?" For once, I was kind of stunned. Being the Oracle and all, I should know what is supposed to happen; what she should do. "Organise a meeting tomorrow, get all the counsellors, this is important." She nodded and ran off, leaving me in the darkness.
