Chapter four:
Annabeth's POV
"Sienna Bishop, you have been claimed. Goddess of the Crossroads, Mother of ghosts, Queen of black magic, Ruler of the dark side of the moon, Eye of the mist. Daughter of Hecate, we welcome you to Camp Half-Blood."
Dead silence.
"Well, well, congratulations Sierra." Mr. D scoffed, not seeming to care at all. "Now let's get on to more important matters. A game of capture the flag will be held tonight. Athena and Hecate, against Hermes and Ares."
Everyone finished their dinner quickly. It always made capture the flag more exciting when a new camper arrived. When they had switched bodies with someone else? Double the excitement.
I left Sienna with Lou Ellen, the head counselor for the Hecate cabin, and left to get ready for the game.
Percy caught up to me as we made our way to the forest.
"Are you okay?" he asked me.
"Still getting the use of all this, but yeah." I said trying to sound casual about it.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. Besides, it's going to make for one heck of an interesting of capture the flag game."
He opened his mouth to say something more but just then, Clarisse called him over, "Jackson! Get over here! Are you in this thing or not?"
He sighed ."See you on the battle field."
I joined the rest of my team-mates and awaited Chirons call.
"All magical weapons are allowed. The creek is the border and please, Clarisse no potential maiming." Clarisse smirked.
I caught a glimpse of Sienna. She was wearing the mandatory Greek armor and plumed helmet. In her hand she carried a sword a few sizes to big, temporary until she found one that suited her best.
Normally I was on the front line. But for some reason everyone thought that I wouldn't be able to handle it, like I was injured or something.
"Come on guys! I swear I'm fine!" But they just ignored me so I basically just spent the whole game in the out field doing nada.
I thought about sneaking up and doing something useful for everyone, but then again, If we lost I didn't want that on my neck. I was sitting cross-legged on the ground, picking at the grass, when I heard the shout.
"Hey everybody! Look!"
I put on my cap of invisibility and sprinted down to where I had head the voice coming from.
Naturally, it was Sienna. She always seemed to be in the center of attention more often then not.
But anyways, she was running towards the boundary line with the Ares flag in her hand. It was red, with a bloody spear, and a boars head. People started to cheer and I smelled a close victory. I felt a surge of regret that it wasn't me out there, but still, a victory is a victory.
She was only about five yards away. Then four. Three. Suddenly, I heard a rustle from the tree above her. Clarisse landed smack dab on top of Sienna's back. I swore I could have heard a crack.
"Ha! That should teach you not to mess with Ares!" she exclaimed.
Chiron galloped up and Clarisse turned her back on Sienna.
"Yeah, punk! You got that right!" she started to go on and on about how awsome she was (In your dreams, Clarisse)
However, what she wasn't aware of was that Sienna was slowly starting to get up. Her fists were clenched around the hilt of the sword in her hand.
Her cheek was bleeding, and she had an absolutely venomous look on her face. I was going to enjoy watching Clarisse get beaten to a bloody pulp. Just saying.
"What did you just call me?" she seethed.
Clarisse whirled around "Oh, I think you heard me. Punk."
I knew that was the last straw. Sienna raised her sword and swung it. She was far from good but that didn't matter, she was fearless. It seemed like she was all about offense.
Sienna hit her right in the side and Clarisse sunk down on her knees. Sienna kicked the sword out of her hand, and then threw down her own.
"I dare you to say that again. Just one more time..."
"Punk." well that was about one of the stupidest things she could have done.
"Wrong answer." Sienna kicked her in the ribs, picked up the flag, and stuck it in the dirt on our territory. "Oops. I win." She flashed us a dazzling smile.
Sienna's POV
Okay, so maybe I over reacted just an teensy weensy bit. Okay, a LOT. But can you blame me? I was still pretty mad for that scumbag Alfonse Reeves for dragging me into this whole scenario, and who on Gods green earth just goes jumping on to people willy-nillly like that? All right, All right, I confess to have done it a time or two but it was a grown man in my case.
Annabeth and Percy caught up to me. "Where are you going?" Annabeth asked me.
Honestly, I had no idea.
She tried a different tactic."You can't just attack people like that!"
I whirled around. "Call me a sore loser, call me a Drama queen. I don't care. She deserved it."
"You broke her nose and gave her a black eye!"
Percy spoke up, "Well, It was pretty awesome..."
"Percy! You are not helping the situation! It doesn't matter how cool it looked, or how much she deserves it, or-"
I smirked, Annabeth groaned.
"I give up." Annabeth caught Lou Ellen's shoulder as she walked by. "Hey, do you mind bringing Sienna to the Hecate cabin now?"
Lou Ellen looked nervous. "Uh..."
"She promises not to hurt you or anything around you." Annabeth prompted.
She sighed in defeat. "All right, come on."
