This included Life of a Blind Half Blood. Also in about two more chapters, this fic will be done and I won't have to worry about it anymore, and for now, Enjoy :D
Chapter 7
I Help Capture the Flag
It had been a week since I had arrived at camp with Thalia, and it was really annoying that practically the entire Aphrodite cabin wanted to get in my pants. Man they were such a pain in my ass, and in Thalia's as well, but at least some of her other friends were willing to help us keep the Aphrodite kids at bay. However other than them, I liked the Hephaestus kids, especially Leo Valdez, guy has a good sense of humor, and he's just the kind of nice guy you can hang around with.
Other cabins I didn't mind hanging around with, were the Apollo, Iris, and Hecate cabins. Apollo cabin, because they taught me to use a bow and arrow, which was very helpful. Iris cabin, because the head counselor, Jakobie Williams, is a really nice guy, he didn't like it when people made fun of his name, he is really good with using knives, he is sixteen years old, has deep green colored hair, he said he dyes his hair once every two months, a different color each time, and he's just a guy you like to hang around with.
Then the Hecate cabin, because of their head counselor Anastasia Winters, she helped me understand most of the ancient Greek words in the books here, which helped me out a lot in figuring out how to read the books in the camp. Anastasia has short red hair, hazel eyes, is seventeen years old, and she's the kind of female friend I need to help me know how to understand being around Thalia better.
The week I've been here has been nice. However, it was Friday now, and it was time for Capture the Flag, I would be on Thalia's team, along with the Hephaestus, Apollo, Hecate, Iris, Poseidon, and Athena cabins. We'd be vs. the Ares, Dionysus, Demeter, Hades, Hermes, Persephone, and the other cabins.
The person in charge of strategy for our victory is Thalia's friend Annabeth Chase. I don't mind Annabeth much, but she's different from other kids of Athena. There's something about her I don't like, but also she's an okay person if you can get over her bossy attitude on telling everyone what to do. I mean she acts like she's the alpha of a pack, when she isn't even close to that.
Still I listened to her and found out that I would be put on defense next to the flag, while Thalia would be on offence helping our team get the Ares flag. I didn't like being too far away from Thalia, but I had to practice being away for short amounts of time. After all, I didn't want to be a possessive boyfriend. However, that doesn't mean I don't worry about her. I know it is dangerous being a half-blood, Thals has told me about her life before joining the Hunters, and it all around worries me about her.
However, I trust her, and know that she can take care of herself. Either way, as the game began, I kept my senses open to everything around me, to make sure that no one could sneak up and take the flag from underneath my nose, while silently hoping that Thalia would be okay. I knew she would be, but everyone should worry about the one they love.
Fifteen minutes later…
Everything was calm in the clearing I was in, and I didn't like it, I had a feeling something bad was going to happen. I looked around, trying to find out what was causing me to feel this way, when suddenly an arrow whizzed by my left shoulder. It nicked the skin, but it wasn't anything for me to worry about.
I looked to where the arrow came from, and I saw two Ares campers, and Pollux, the head councilor for the Dionysus cabin. I got ready to fight, I didn't have a weapon, but that doesn't mean I'm not defenseless. The Ares campers attacked first, and I avoided them with ease, while also trying to keep Pollux away from the flag, while a son of Iris was in the trees, getting ready to help, once I needed it.
It didn't take long, for me to beat the Ares kids, and Pollux, but I didn't come out unscathed, I had plenty of cuts and one large gash on my side. They didn't heal right away, which I think was due to the fact that they attacked me with celestial bronze, and or imperial gold. I just panted, and soon enough heard the sound of a conch going off, signaling that our team has won. I smiled and ran towards the creek, where everyone else was going as well, not noticing that José was about to fire an arrow at me, until it was too late.
I felt pain in my spine, before everything went dark, and I somehow heard Thalia's voice calling out "Seth, no!"
Hours Later…
I awoke in the infirmary, with Thalia sleeping at my side, I was about to wake her up, when a woman wearing a shimmering white dress that shone like rainbows was at the foot of my bed all of a sudden.
"Who are you?" I asked.
The woman glared at me before speaking. "I am Hera, Queen of Heaven, and I am here to make sure you stay out of Thalia's life Seth Clearwater."
I glared back, not liking what Hera was implying. "I don't care what you say Hera, I will be with Thalia, she is my imprinted, she is my mate. I am hers, and she is mine."
Hera just smirked at what I said, and before she disappeared she left me with these words. "Think wisely you foolish child, for if you don't leave her life and break her, then you will die by my hand."
Once she was gone, did I look once more at Thalia, remembering what she said about how Hera hates heroes, especially those sired by her dad. I just stared down at her, and let my resolve strengthen, I would never leave Thalia, even if my life depended on it, she is my imprinted, and I would protect and love her no matter what. Smiling, I kissed the top of her head, before laying back down on the bed, and started to drift off into a nice calming sleep.
Well that's it for now, hope you all liked it, and please review, and till the next time in February, later :D
