Chapter 25

"The plan's going to work! The plan's going to work!" The Stolls had found a new chant to sing.

"No it's not. Not it's not." Nico said sourly, as he plugged his ears.

"I think one of the hunters is calling me, goodbye!" Thalia said quickly, instead of chasing after the Stolls.

"No place to hide," Percy said, but then remembered that he could hide underwater.

Percy jumped to the nearest source of water that would fit him, and relaxed. The Stolls could be unbearable at times.

It seemed that others thought that too. Katie herself had built herself an 'environmental friendly' plant house for herself to block out the noise. Loud music played out of the Apollo cabin. Ghosts were howling and booing all around the Hades cabin. Loud tinkering noises were heard from the Hephaestus cabin. 'Boys are evil, boys are mean, boys are silly, boys are all just silly beans' could be heard from the Artemis cabin. Owls were delighted to keep on hooting for the Athena cabin. Kiss noises were being very disturbing for everyone in the Aphrodite cabin. The Dionysus cabin, along with the Hera and Hermes's one didn't care. The Ares cabin came charging at the Stolls with weapons in their hands.

"Sissies!" Clarisse yelled when the Stolls began running away.

"What is going on in here?" Dionysus yelled out until his face became very purple.

Instantly all the noises from all the cabins stopped. Silence came upon camp, and it felt as if reality and time had stopped. Until Mr. D yelled again.

"Stop all those stupid noises, they irritate me. Especially those idiotic kiss noises," Dionysus muttered the last part under his breath.

Noise could be heard again, and the Stolls couldn't resist chanting the song again.

"That includes you Stoll!" Dionysus yelled.

The Stolls grumbled under their breath but stopped singing it anyway.

"I'm hungry," Connor whined.

"Me too," Travis agreed.

"It's almost lunch," a nearby camper told them.

Connor checked the time on his stolen watch, and grinned in satisfaction.

"Almost time for lunch-" Connor started.

After Connor said 'lunch' the conch horn blew. The Stolls both grinned, and headed back to their cabin to lead them to lunch.

"You know what we've been missing?" Travis asked, with a tiny frown on his face.

Seeing as Travis frowned, Connor looked curious. "What?"

"Pranks, discussing them, and doing them..." Travis listed them off, and then stopped when they arrived at their cabin.

"Cabin 11 fall in," Travis yelled loudly.

The residents inside the cabin jumped at Travis's loud voice. They lined up, and couldn't resist asking them again.

"You won from Annabeth's battle plan?" One of the Hermes kids said in disbelief. "Unbelievable."

One of the friendlier campers retorted. "Believable."

The Stolls led their half-siblings or unclaimed campers to the dining pavilion while they argued how it was unbelievable or believable. And although it was amusing to see, it was getting annoying.

"To us, its believable, so now, please be quiet," Travis said, hoping that the arguing or loud discussions would stop.

Travis had no such luck. It only led to more discussions and arguments. The Stolls decided to give up altogether.

"I'm not hungry anymore," Connor pushed his plate away.

"I still am," Travis replied as he took a huge gulp out of his 'goblet coke.'

Suddenly, all the arguments stopped, and the Stolls stopped talking to listen to Chiron. But Dionysus began the speech first.

"Brats and men-haters," Dionysus began, but Chiron ignored him and began his own announcement.

"Campers and hunters," Chiron spoke loudly. "We have decided to move the Capture the Flag game to now. After we finish lunch, we will give you ten minutes to prepare. After that, Capture the Flag will start!"

Cheering could be heard miles away. Although some people weren't.

"Maybe Chiron has taken pity on us and decided that our humiliation should start much earlier," Katie whispered to one of her half-siblings, who only nodded in reply.

But Chiron wasn't finished yet. "The strategists get to pick the people who are going to play Capture the Flag. There are about 13 hunters, so pick 14 campers."

Stunned silence filled the air that not everyone could play. The hunters were protesting.

"We could take all the campers!" A girl said with a tiny hint of smugness.

"Please Chiron," Thalia asked.

Chiron sighed. Maybe they could actually win this one... "Fine, but be ready."

The hunters were the one cheering this time, but with all the campers cheering as well, it sounded like a cheering contest. And it soon turned into one. Until it stopped.

"For my sake stop!" Dionysus yelled.

The rest of the lunch was eaten quickly, and soon enough it was time for Capture the Flag.

"Heroes!" Chiron announced. "You know the rules. The creek is the boundary line. The entire forest is fair game. All magic items are allowed. The banner must be prominently displayed, and have no more than two guards. Prisoners may be disarmed, but may not be bound or gagged. No killing or maiming is allowed. I will serve as referee and battlefield medic. Arm yourselves!"

"I have a good feeling that we're going to win Annabeth," Percy said.

"I don't," Annabeth muttered in reply.

Percy frowned and wondered if she was still mad at him.

"I have a good feeling that we're going to win Connor," Travis said.

"Me too!" Connor replied back excitedly.

Before they knew it, a noise was heard and the game began.

"Take your positions!" Travis yelled.

The plan failed even at the beginning. The hunters ambushed them when no one was ready. The campers were already in a panic which was exactly what the hunters had planned. The more campers getting worried, the better. A smoke bomb came across to the campers's side and no one could see a thing until someone decided to react.
