Still Minory POV
The game starts in a few minutes so I take the liberty to start practicing my shot. I took my stance about 15ft away from my target. Alright just like the movies, Left arm straight while grasping the bow, right arm bent but leveled with my other arm, fingers on the string, pull back and let go. The sliver arrow flew through the air like a rocket and hit the yellow line a little below the bull's eye. I felt proud of myself but others apparently disagree. "Hmm, some daughter of Apollo" I heard someone say behind me. He apparently had a posse because then there was snickering. What a heard of sheep. I breathed in a deep breath and closed my eyes and got a new arrow loaded up. I opened my eyes and let out my breath slowly and focused hard on my target. When I let go this time it hit dead center of the bull's eye. I turned around and smiled mockingly at the sheep and their shepherd. They glared at me, from the looks of then they were a few Aphrodite girls, a Hermes boy, and two Ares boys. It sad really they look to be about 14-16 and they were picking on a 12 year old. Oh well, I have perfected the act of ignoring people.
I heard the horn which meant the game was about to start. I quickly gathered my arrows and ran to where everyone else was going. Percy and Annabeth helped me into my armor I almost fell over from the weight. When I was going into the crowd I lost them. Chiron was now in his real form and it was interesting to see his horse body. "Heroes, warriors, we have a new camper I hope you all welcome her properly in a nice game of capture the flag" He thundered. Everyone cheered and then there was the manner on what team I was going to be on. I was so short compared to most of the campers so I couldn't find Percy or Annabeth. I pair of hands grasped me by the shoulders. "We'll take her" I looked up to see a buffed out guy with a grin too sinister for his own good. I feel a little uneasy so I back away from him. A red helmet is placed on my head and we run to our side of the forest. I'm on the red team. One of the Ares boys is nominated to lead and he is telling us all our positions. "And you, new girl, you are going to be the distraction" He tells me. Oh great, I start running onto enemy territory alone. No one comes out of the forest so I decide to throw in a different strategy. I shoot some arrows on the farthest trees I can see and watch if any movement comes from them.
I see slight movement from a little to the left. A twig snaps and soon I am surrounded by the enemy. I'm starting to get a little scared especially sense they all have swords pointed at me and I only have a bow. Its 6 against 1. Hmm maybe this can work. I use my bow to whack the two closest blue team members which buys me enough time to pull out my dagger. The clanging of metal is so loud and I'm growing tired and still no one has come to help me. Alright new new plan, RUN! I sprint out of the way out of there and further east. Half of my ambushers are following me on my way east the others are fending off my team. It's about fricken time. Someone throws their sword and it manages to go across my calf. I fall to the floor in pain. I have to push forward or else get myself killed. I pick up the sword that got my calf and stand in the way of my opponents. I watched them with more confidence then I really had. Before they were only 5ft in front of me, the big guy that had picked me to be on his team, rammed into the three of them. They were dazed for a few seconds but at least now I had back up. We fought each other until the horn sounded again. We stopped and listened for the winner. "And the blue team wins" Chiron announced.
"Well we still did well, especially you kid." The big guy told me and then he lightly, I guess for him, pat me on the back. I almost fell completely forward but he caught me. "Oops, sorry about that kid. My name is James by the way." He said extending his hand to me. I took it "Minory" I told him. He saw some of the team heading our way and told me goodbye. I waved him good bye and limped the way back to the camp ground for the feast. I saw my friends and I limped a little faster. "Hey I heard how well you did and wow talk about a battle scar." Grover said we he saw me. I glanced down my leg, the bleeding had stopped but I had dry blood all the way down to my ankle. "Hmm yeah, I guess but oh well and congratulations for winning." I said to them. "Here let me see that" Percy told me and he led me to a nearby creek and told me to get in. The water was freezing and I really hope that there is a reason for this. He lifted my leg a little and when he touched my cut it slowly started feeling better. When I didn't feel anymore sting I looked at it and it was completely healed. I looked at it then to Percy then back again. Percy laughed at my expression. "How did you do that?" I asked completely amazed.
"I'm the son of Poseidon and can do stuff with water. One of those is healing." He explained. Wow I wonder what I can do. "Cannon ball" Grover yelled before he jumped into creek. Then I turned into a bunch of people jumping in. I was thrown various times and by the way if you are going to have a fight with a water demigod- well no just don't have a water fight with a water demigod. It will come out with completely unfair results. But all too soon it was time to go to bed. I went to my cabin and was automatically greeted by Spec. He was sniffing the ground and investigating everything about his new territory. I opened the door and change into the pajamas that have been provided for me. Now I lay in my bed and sleep peacefully for the first time in a long time.
No one POV
It was almost midnight and all the campers were asleep in their beds. But someone or something was lurking about the camp sneaking ever so carefully so not to be seen or heard. It was on a mission a mission to take away the child that would be the great change and advantage of the Gods. It reached the destination and slowly opened the door. A new surprise waited for it. A wolf with teeth barred was growling at the doorway and in its path. It smacked the beast away with its shield. The whimper of the wolf woke up the child. She grabbed the bow and arrows that hung on her wall on a hook. "Come any closer and I'll shoot." She threatened. It retriever brought out its sword and swung at her. She blocked it with her bow and shot the retriever in the shoulder. It growled in anger and Swung at her relentlessly. She dodged but she was being pushed into a corner and got cut across her stomach. She was running out of options so she screamed at the top of her lungs.
The sword was pushed to her neck and slightly cuting her. "If you make another sound it will be your last" A male voice threatened. It was too late campers were already running to her aid. The retriever pulled out a cell phone and gave directions to the listener. He dragged her outside while still having the sword pressed to her neck so no one tried anything. Chiron came galloping and saw what was happening "Who are you? Let her go" He yelled. The retriever just smiled "I don't think so she is much too valuable" He said. Then the retriever and Minory disappeared in a burst of flames.
