Ch.2
Capture the flag
Nico POV
I woke up wondering were I was. "Were am I?"I mumbled.
"On top of me." Thalia said. My cheeks flushed red as I got up. I could Thalia was blushing also.
Trying to change the subject I asked, "So were going to camp half-blood today?"
"Ya, I want to get there today there having capture the flag." Said Percy walking out of his bedroom.
Annabeth walked out of the quest bedroom and asked "how are we going to get their?"
"I got that handled." Percy said.
"How?" Thalia asked. She took one look at Percy and cursed. "Di immortals. I thought I told you I was afraid of heights."
In little less then fifteen minutes we were ready to go. I walked outside and tensed. Something wasn't right. We walked into a ally and Percy whistled 4 times. Just then, twelve hellhounds ran by and then four Pegasus appeared over head. They landed and Percy said something to Blackjack, his hoarse. Then we all got on. I suddenly knew why Thalia disliked riding on Pegasus, and I was thankful when we finally landed.
Camp half blood was the same as it was the last to winters other then the fact that there was as many campers there as there was in a regular summer. Chiron must of known we were coming because as soon as we landed he galloped over. He said hello to all of us then galloped off. "See you later" I said and walked to my cabin. I figured I should get some sleep in before capture the flag.
I awoke to the sound of a conch horn in the distance. I grumbled and got ready to go to dinner. I was the last person there as usual. As soon as I got my food I walked over to the fire and scraped some of my food into the fire. Help our team win. I asked my Father.
Dinner went without anything unusual. When everyone was done Chiron stomped his foot. "Time for capture the flag" He said. Everyone cheered.
The teams for capture the flag were kind of lop sided. It was the Athena, Poseidon, Hephaestus, Hades, and Apollo cabins verse the Ares, Dionysus, Zeus, , Demeter, Aphrodite, and Hermes cabins and all the minor god cabins. Our team headed to our side of the river. We put our flag on Zeus fist and of course I got stuck guarding it with some kid from the Apollo cabin. I saw Percy go right up the front, with Rath, Andy, and some other campers behind him. Annabeth and her cabin went to the left to get the flag and anyone who was left fallowed Percy. After about 2 minutes I heard something from the Apollo kid. I turned and saw he was shooting stun arrows at some of the other team's allies who were attacking. 'Great' I told myself and ran to help him. It wasn't that hard because as soon as I got over to help him the other team started running. I figured everything was fine and went back to my post when I heard a terrified 'Whelp' from the Apollo camper. I figured we were getting attacked and climbed on top of the boulders that our flag was on. I took a look around and soon figured out I was surrounded. I pulled my sword out of my sheath and got ready to hop down when an arrow shot pass me. I summoned a few skeletons and jumped down.
"Crud" I said. I knew by now everyone on my team was probably captured because of the fact we were outnumbered 2 to 1 and I was stuck there facing six people. I saw Thalia and I knew I was screwed if my training with Percy didn't kick in right now. I hopped down and I went after Thalia. She shot one last arrow and I deflected it with my sword. Thalia, thinking her bow was useless , through her bow down and got her spear out. Then she tapped her bracelet and her shield, Agues, popped out. Then I noticed Eagle coming out of the woods and then he walked in front of Thalia.
"Let me handle him." He said to Thalia, "You get the flag." She looked like she wanted to fight me but simply tried to go around me. I charged Eagle and tried a overhead cut, but that didn't work and then I fell down. Then, Thalia hopped down, holding the flag with her left hand and her spear in the other, and came over to were Eagle was standing. I tried to get up and I saw Percy coming to our side but he still had a way to go.
"Son of a…"Thalia started but she never finished. Eagle, being the son of Zeus that he was, did the normal/fake but seemingly heroic thing, noticed no one was looking and picked me up, through me at Thalia knocking her down. I landed on Thalia and our lips touched just briefly. I wasn't sure if it counted as a kiss or not, but know wasn't the time for that. Then, Eagle sent three streaks of lightning at Percy, grabbed the flag from Thalia's hand and, got the flag to the other side of the border before Percy, Me and Thalia knew what was happening and Thalia was even on Eagle's team. I heard cheers go up from the other side of the border.
I untangled myself from Thalia, who looked like she wanted to kill someone, and told the skeletons I summoned to go back to the underworld. I turned around and saw Thalia, who said "Meet me by my tree tomorrow morning."
