"Hey." Annabeth said
"Hey. Who is on whose team?" I asked.
"Um. Hades,Thanatos, Hermes Athena, and Apollo cabins are the blue team. Everyone else is on the red team." She answered.
"So I am on your team. Right?
"Yeah. So I see you have your armor."
"Yeah. It's really big though."
"Well at least it will protect you. And you have a weapon right."
"Yeah. So where do i go when we start?"
"You are guarding the flag. Protect it at all costs."
"Okay i got it. And where is the flag?"
"It's on Zeus' fist. You, Nico and Michael are protecting it."
"Okay i am gonna go ahead over there so i won't waste time." Then without another word i left and walked to Zeus' fist. When i got there Michael and Nico were standing at the base of the rocks.
"Aren't one of you at least gonna try to climb to the top?"
"No one has ever made it to the top. What makes you think one of us can make it?" Said Michael.
"This." I said and then i started climbing. Having small hands and feet help a lot. After three short minutes I had made it to the top.
"How in the Hades did you make it up there?" Asked Nico.
"I climbed. It's great having small hands." I yelled down to him. After that i heard the conch horn which could be heard all over camp. From where i was i could see the red team surge forward. After ten minutes i saw a bush rustle. "Red team 12 o'clock!" I shouted down. Then i saw Nico run towards the bush. Suddenly i saw someone leap forward. It was Percy. I saw him swing at Nico. He hit his face and cut deeply from what i saw. Nico didn't hesitate. He swung with all his might. he hit Percy's check and arm. Then someone else came from nowhere. It was another red and he was headed towards nico. They were going to double team him. I couldn't let that happen. "Micheal! Help Nico!" I yelled. Michael ran over to the other red team and started swinging his sword like crazy. He kept hitting him. most of his hits landed on the guys arm. Two minutes later the red team member lost his sword and was taken to the ground by Michael. They started wrestling. I looked back at Nico and Percy. Nico was on the ground and
Percy was standing over him. Percy was about to bring his sword down on Nico.
"NO!" I yelled. Energy was surging through me. I had to help. I can't let Percy hurt Nico. Nico is a friend. All the sudden there was a brilliant flash of light and Percy went flying. HE landed next to a tree and a little creek. Percy's hair was smoking. He got onto his hands and knees with a loud grunt and crawled over to the creek. He put his hand in it cupped the water, and brought it up to his face and drank pulled himself into the water and his entire body was submerged by water. When he got back out he looked perfect. His hair was still smoking. I heard the conch shell in the distance. I jumped down from the top of Zeus' fist and landed like a frog. Percy walked up to me after i had stood up.
"WHAT THE HADES DID YOu DO THAT FOR?!" He yelled at me. I was confused. was he talking about the light?
"What are you talking about?" I asked him. Now i was a little scared because he still had riptide in his hand.
"WHAT YOU JUST DID! WITH THE LIGHTNING! YOU DID THAT! WHY?!"
"I...I don't know what you are talking about." I said. Why was he blaming me? How could i have done it.
"Whatever. Just go and cheer for your team." He said then turned,
walked to his red friend, and pulled his friend and Micheal away. I turned and walked over to Nico and helped him up.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah. I think anyway. So how did you do that?" He asked.
"Do what?" I asked.
"Well how did you summon the lightning? And stand up to Percy's rage?"
"I don't know how i summoned it. Well i didn't even know i did. But it was easy standing up to him. Just don't look into his eyes." I said. Why was he accusing me for the lighting? I thought to myself.
"Well you did. I saw the lighting reach you and then hit Percy."
"So what would that mean?"
"Well since your dad is Thantoes that means you had to have been blessed." He said. I guess i looked pretty confused because he said, "It's where every God and Goddess gives you one of their special abilities." Okay now i get it.
"Okay so that means?" I asked.
"It means that Zeus thinks you are special so he made all of the Gods and Goddess give you nice powers." He said really slow like i was a little 3 year old that didn't l know anything.
"I'm not three years old."
"Okay. Whatever you say."
"So what "powers" or "abilities" do you think they gave me?"
"Well my dad probably gave you the ability to where anyone you touch will die. It will come in handy but it is only active i would think when you are in grave danger or in deep need. Zeus made it to where you can control lightning. Athena either made you really, really smart, or excellent under pressure and great at battle strategy. Aphrodite, I would think she would give you the power of persuasion. And so on and so forth."
"Okay. Well bye." I said before i turned and ran into the forest to find a quiet place. I was determined to figure out every single skill. I found a river a jumped in to see if i could breath. No such luck, yet. Quickly i swam back up to the top before i could drown. Man this is a really deep river. I thought. Finally I made it to the top. I looked down and saw that the river went down in a pool. It looked like a whirlpool but it wasn't. It went down at least 9 feet if not deeper. It was impossibale because it was only about 6 feet deep when i first got in. I think it is either actually from Posiden or Gaea. If it was from Gaea it was that i could tunnel into the ground(any type) but if it was from Posiden i guess i could control the sand, or ground(or whatever you want to call it) because i was in the ocean when it happened. I actually had snuck a bow from camp to see what Artemis or Apollo gave me so i grabbed it now. I looked at a tree and aimed and notced the bow. I let go and heard the arrow whislte past. I saw it strike the middle of the tree. Right where i wanted it to land. Now i know i could somewhat shoot an arrow i wanted to find out which one gave me that and what the other one gave me. I knew if it was Apollo it wasn't singing, poetry, or playing an instrumant. I mean it could be snging. I had an okay voice but not a great one. Anyway it was starting to get really dark so i desided to head back to camp. I had just gotten back before the harrpy actually got to my cabin so i was just in luck. I hurried in to my room and hopped into bed before the harrpy came in. Once it left i waited about 3 minutes just to be sure then I changed into a black tank top and my white short shorts. I had the worst dream ever that night.
Me and Alex were walking through a forest.
"I haven't been completly honest lately." Said Alex. I opened my mouth to ask what he was talking about but nothing came out,I must have had a strange look on my face(because i couldn't talk.) because he kept going. "Well I sort of am changing sides. I am helping the Titans' gain cotrol again. This isn't what you think. The Titans' will help the humans. Not like the Gods, they won't let them sit down here on Earth and root." I stared at him. I started to back away, opening and closing my mouth trying to say something even though it wouldn't come out. I backed up and ran into a mountian that hadn't been there before. I kept pushing up agains't ot hoping i could just dissappear into the rock. Alex walked towards me witha gleam on his eyes that wasn't his. It was an evil gleam and i knew something was wrong.
"You can help to. All you have to do is kill the Greek demigod Percy and bring back a drop of his blood and yours to Gaea in this vile." He said holding out a vile.
"NO!" I yelled(more like screamed) finally being able to speak. All of the sudden the rocks came and wrapped around my ankles and wrists and waist, keeping me from moveing.
"I guess i will have to kill him and you." He said and drew his sword and starts walking towards me. For rocks around my right wrist losen and fell to the ground. Before i could do anything he had my wrist in his hand and was holding the sword right on the skin. He started pulling it across my wrist slowly. Then after a second he slid it all the way across cutting deep into my wrist. He let my hand go and i pulled it close to my body. Then he ripped it back and got a drop of blood into the vile. Alex laughed when he saw the pain on my face. All of the sudden the mountian opened and sucked me in to a tunnel of black nothingness. All i heard was Alexs' laugh replaying in my head over and over.
I woke up sweating. When i had woken up i had begun to scream bloody murder(good thing no one was there). Alex had heard me because he had been walking over to wake me up, and had come running in asking what was wrong. I had yelled for him to get the crap away from me and i ran to the bathroom(yes i have a bathroom in my cabin) and locked myself in. Once i had seen him i started feeling the pain in my wrist and hoped it woulf go away. No such luck came my way. After an hour i had unlocked the door and walked back inti=o the actual cabin. I started looking around. There were no signs of ALex any where which was good. I took a shower and put on a black verson of the 'Camp Half-Blood' shirt and denim jeans. Then i put my hair into a sloppy ponytail. I walked out of the cabin and felt someone grab me from behind. Instead of waiting to see who it was i started thrashing around and yellins/screamin, "LET ME GO! NOW!" Who ever was holding me let go and i turned around and saw Nico. "What the crap was that for!?" I yelled/asked him. I walked up to him and slapped him across the face. He just stood there unfased by it.
"Alex had said you yelled at him. He told me to wait here and told me to wait here and grab you and take you to him. Why are you so jumpy?"
"Where is Alex? And i am jumpy because of a dream i had and you freaking grabbed me when i walked out a door."
"What was the dream?"
"Aren't you supposed to take me to Alex?"
"Well yeah but why did you scream at him earlier?"
"Reasons. Why?"
"So i know how to not make you mad."
"It was becuase of the dream."
"Can you please tell me to dream?"
"Sure. But not here. Follow me." I said and walked of into the woods near my cabin. "So. What was the dream about?" HE asked.
"Maybe another time." I said before turning to walk away. He grabbed my left wrist, which still hurt from earlier, and i shreicked in pain(what? It hurts that bad.). "I said. What was the dream about." But this time he used a more comanding voice.
"Okay. So me and Alex were walking through a forest. And he stopped and said that he hadn't been completly honest. Then he said he was switching sides and helping the Titan's. He said i could to. All i had to do was kill Percy and take his blood and cut myself and put his blood and mine in a vile and bring it to Gaea. When i had screamed no this mountian appeared and rocks wrapped around my wirsts, ankles, and waist. Then he walked towards me and cut my left wrist. When i woke up this morning after Alex left my wrist started to sting and feel like it was being cut. And it still does." I said all at once looking down at my wrist in pain. Once it regestered to him that it stung he let go.
"Oh. Sorry." He said slightly blushing. "Can i leave now?" I asked with a certain tone in my voice saying that if he doesn't let me he will get hurt.
"Sure. If you know how to." He said and turned with a smerk on his face.
"Uhm. It's this way smart one." I said coughing the first part.
"I knew that."
"No you didn't." "Yes i did."
"Then why did you turn the other way?" "I was gonna trick you."
"Sure you were." I said then walked off towards camp. When i was sure i lost him i willed the ground to pull me under. I willed a tunnel to go all the way to my cabin. Then the dirt behind me pushed me forward. I popped out of the ground right infront of my cabin. I turned and was face to face with Alex. I started screaming bloody murder. Alex was everywhere today.
"Shhhh Annie it's okay. It's just me."
"I know! That's why i am screaming!" I said and started backing away from him.
