That was how wensday and thursday went, It got more interesting on Friday.
Today was Supposed to be the 'Awesome and Extremely intense game of capture the flag', as Connor put it, and every one was getting ready for it. From what I heard There were two teams, Red and Blue, with the last cabin that won in charge. That cabin (This time it was our cabin) Traded privileges for Alliances with other cabins, our Ally's were the Athena, Ares, Hypnos (just standing next to there cabin made me yawn), Poseidon, and Apollo. The Hephaestus cabin, they were in charge of the red team, had every one else.
The rules were no maiming, killing, (you lost your dessert for one week if you broke that rule), No gagging or tying up other campers, (tho they can be disarmed), guards must be at least ten yards from the flag, which must be out in the open not hidden, All powers and magic items allowed, and first team to get the other teams flag across the creek wins.
I wasn't too happy about the armor situation, it weighed like eight tons! I decided to ditch the armor after the game started, I just hope people valued there dessert more winning the game. I was using a short sword and had a small dagger in case of emergency's.
I was pretty happy about having Percy on our team, Apparently if he wanted too he could flood the whole forest.
I wasn't too sure with Travis and Connors plan tho.
They had the right Idea having Percy on creek patrol, but having hypnos cabin guard the flag... No offense to them but they will probably fall asleep. And the Ares cabin wasn't too happy about staying on our side to keep the other team out, Tho I think they just wanted to get back at Clarrise for ruining their latest prank.
I was supposed part of the group that was going to run in and get the flag. Yippee.
I wondered if these kids parents knew what they were doing... probably not or there would probably be alot less kids here.
After the rules were explained and the plan was made we all headed out into the forest, Blue team on east side, Red on west side. We had ten minutes to get into position then Chiron blew the horn which started the game.
I expected a group of armored kids to instantly come running at me but it was silent, which almost made it worse. I ran to the creek, not far from where I was standing I could here the red team get a creek thrown at them.
I crossed the creek into enemy territory and then wiggled my way out of the armor, I had clothes on underneath. I kept my helmet on so my team would know im on there side, our plumes are blue enemy is red.
Much better, now I could run around looking for the flag in jeans and a bright orange T-shirt, which is not so great for hiding. I had my hair tied in a knot, apparently long hair got people killed in wars.
I ran in a random derection looking for the flag, and then, sitting on top of a stump was the enemys red flag. I couldn't believe my luck, or maybe I was unlucky and this was going to end bad. I tried to put that out of my head and think about positive stuff like rainbows and puppys. Ok maybe not that exactly.
Slowly looking around for the guards and ran in and grabbed the flag, Then hearing rustling in a cluster of bushes turned around to face it.
Out of the bushes walked Nico holding a three foot long , Black as the darkest dream you've ever had sword, just looking at it freaked me out, I had a feeling that you would never want to get cut by that thing.
"Drop that flag!" He said holding up the black sword.
"How about you drop your sword instead?" I said holding up my shortsword.
"What ever you say." He said dropping the sword, its blade sticking straight into the dirt. I backed away slowly getting ready to run, then the ground started to move next to where Nico was standing. I dropped my sword and the flag. Making its way out of the dirt were two skeleton warriors, dressed in full armor with swords.
Nico strode forward to retrieve the flag, a smirk on his face, The skeletons right behind him. Then I remembered him telling me his Dad was Hades, So wouldn't he control the dead? And if he controled the dead he wouldn't let them hurt me because he would lose his dessert! They really need a better punishment for maiming and killing.
Quickly I snatched my sword back up and whacked Nico with the flat side of my sword on his head, knocking him over. The skeletons drew the rusty swords and came at me, I really hoped I was right about them not attacking me. I grabbed the flag and ran back toward the river, shouting something about 'stupid skeletons not getting my dessert'. Yeah I was a little freaked out so I didn't know what I was saying.
I burst out of the trees a hundred yards or so from the creek, sever campers and the skeletons on my tail, For dead guys they ran pretty fast. It was like the root was out to get me, I tripped over it and rolled losing my sword but hanging onto the flag.
I was back up before anything got to me, I looked up at the creek and saw another camper with a red plume running with our flag toward the creek.
"Hey Dad," I muttered running toward the creek." If your listening, it would be nice if I could go faster!" Apparently he was listening because suddenly I was a blur running across the creek.
It would have been awesome except I couldn't stop and a smashed into a tree, angering the Dryad who owned it, and then falling over backward, a blue flag with a Caduceus on it landing on my head.
"Ow." I said, a couple acorns falling out of the tree onto, You guessed it, My Head.
As I sat up holding the flag Chiron blew the horn then appeared out of the trees.
"And the winner is the blue team, Cabin eleven, Hermes cabin!" Chiron Said loudly, cheers coming from the blue team." And since the Hermes cabin won last time the next opposing team will be Cabin five, Ares!" Cheers from the Ares cabin.
Every one started clearing out of the forest and Katie Gardner, The Demeter cabins counselor, walked up to me."Sorry about that root" She said smiling "You did great with the flag tho."
"Oh uh Thanks." I told her, I liked Katie, she was pretty nice, "So that root really was out to get me..." Katie Laughed. "Yeah it was. Well I will see you later" She said walking off with the rest of her cabin.


NICO

I was just sitting in the bushes waiting for someone to walk by when Chloe jumped out of the bushes on the other side. I didn't really want to attack her but I couldn't let her run off with the flag. So I decided a threat would be better.
As I exited the bushes Chloe turned around, I wasn't being very quiet. "Drop that flag!" I told her raising my stygian iron sword, I could tell it made her nervous, It had that effect on most people."How about you drop that sword instead?" She said also raising her sword. Then I came up with what I thought was a perfect plan."What ever you say." I said dropping my sword to where its blade would stick into the dirt, already I could feel two of them coming. As Chloe started to run away the ground beside me started to shake a little, and out came two skeletal warriors.
Apparently Chloe was freaked out because she dropped both the flag and the sword, I thought that I had won this fight. Then as I went to get the flag she snatched up her sword and whacked me on the head, knocking me over and running off with the flag, my two skeletons running after her.
As I got back up on my feet I thought I heard her yell something about 'Skeletons not getting her desert'? I got up and started chasing after her, Even tho I had a feeling we were going to lose. I was right, as soon as I got into veiw of the creek I saw Chloe laying backwards with a blue flag rubbing her head.
Somehow, the Stolls had managed to be in charge of a team and win, I wasn't too sure how that happened...
