Luna's POV:
'It's too heavy! What the hell? How are you supposed to wear all this crap! I mean aren't clothes heavy enough?' she thought, as she struggled.
FOCUS! I have to get that flag. I'm way too competitive to let them win. As I rushed through the forest, I felt a sense of pace as I run through, but the whistling of passing arrows soon disturbs that. At first, I stumbled, trying to simply not get impaled by the arrows buzzing past me. Amazingly enough, after learning their shooting patterns, I dodged with ease, until like the klutz I am, tripped over a foot in the forest.
I fumbled, knocking away everyone and everything in my way since I was going full speed down a hill. The one and only reason I stopped, was because my head hit the Athena flag strait on, which stopped me from fumbling any further. Dazed, it took me a few minutes to recover, and understand the situation I had now gotten myself into.
Even though Luna was surprised as well, other campers around her were just as surprised. They hadn't expected someone to just barge in recklessly, or in her case carelessly, into the heart of their defense.
Once I regained my footing, I looked around only to find a bow and nothing else. Out of options, and time, I stared at the bow for what seemed like ages, the gears in my head started to turn and I hatched a brilliant plan.
I kicked up the bow, its smooth wooden body resting securely in her hand. She then snatched the flag and started to aim it toward our boundary line.
She didn't know if this sort of place would even work, let alone make a difference in the game. It was a gamble, and if she missed, or even failed to shoot the flag over to her teams side, she would be surrounded by the enemy.
It was going to be one hell of a shot if this plan worked. I closed my eyes and concentrated. Time slowed again, the blood pumping faster through my veins. I saw the surrounding area with such clarity. I could see where the enemy was, what they were doing, and where they were planning to move.
I took a break, and shot the flag. It felt like the wind was with me giving me the power I needed to succeed and get the flag to soar towards our side, granting us the win. However, as the flag soared the concentration and clarity she once had vanished, and an attack come in from an angle in her blind spot. It hit me head on and I crashed forward face first into the ground.
I looked up, only to see that there was nothing there. I shook my head, rubbing my back lightly, as Chiron blew the conch horn, and trotted over announcing that the game was won. My whole team came over lifted me up and started chant my name.
At that moment I felt as though I was actually accepted by everyone around me. Finally after my teammates got tired, they put me down. Percy came out of the crowd with is mouth wide open.
"How did you do that? That was amazing!" he exclaimed.
"It wasn't easy... to be honest I didn't even know if my plan would work" I said, a bit proud of myself.
After we all left to go to our cabins all I thought to myself was what a day. I turned and stared at the barren hill. 'Just what exactly happened after I captured the flag?' I wondered, the mystery looming over my conscious. Where had that attack come from? All these thoughts were flowing through her head, as she went to bed and drifted into a deep sleep.
Hey everyone this is the last chapter for a while there will be more later on.
