Hey Guys what's up? Sorry I haven't updated in a while.
Enjoy!
Everyone lined up face to face. Arrows strung, swords raised, and Greek fire set in traps. Kylie and I both had swords. (Most children of Apollo use bow and arrows. Kylie and Chiron think it's because I have some Poseidon and Athena blood in me). Anyway our flag was poised in front of the stream. We had four guards guarding the flag, and some of our best guys were fighting.
Chiron blew the horn and the game began. Everyone ran towards each other fighting before I even realized what was happening.
"Ow!" I yelled. Some idiot sliced my cheek.
"What are you doing? You're supposed to be fighting!" Kylie told me.
"Are you supposed to be trying to kill each other?" Kylie nodded.
"Not killing, but you have to be tough! Now come on!" She dragged me into the trees of the forest. Somewhere off to the side some Greek fire exploded and we were thrown onto the air. Kylie pulled me up and we kept running.
"You people are crazy," I muttered breathing heavily. Up ahead was the fighting.
"Alright! Here we go!" Shouted Kylie. She ran into the fighting, swinging her sword every which way. These people were seriously crazy. Some kid of Ares came at me with a huge sword.
"What the-" Our swords clashed and swung around. This kid was going to kill me. So I did the natural thing. I ran for it.
"Ahhhh!" Yeah, I know, I'm a wimp. The guy started running after me.
"Kylie!" I screamed back at her looking over my shoulder. She kicked the guy in front of her and ran after me. She caught up to us really fast. Kylie grabbed the guy chasing me from the back of his gear and made him swerve around to face her.
"Hello Ash," she growled. He laughed and they both pointed their swords at each other. Man, how many enemies did Kylie have? With her other hand Kylie was slowly making a sign at me. She was telling me to go. Oh right, get the flag. I started running away listening to the distant rude remarks that Ash was making towards Kylie.
No one tried to stop me. I doubt that they even saw me; they were too consumed in their own fighting. I kept running until the clashing of swords and the exploding of Greek Fire was distant. I slowed down to a walk.
I had absolutely NO idea where the heck I was. But then I saw something out of the corner of my eye. Something red…
Sorry this chapter was so short but I wanted it to be a cliff hanger… I think it is one anyway. LOL
