Chapter 8

The week went by pretty uneventfully. I was finally getting into the swing of camp life. It didn't seem weird anymore it was as if I had been doing this all me life. Then finally Friday had fallen upon camp. Everyone was talking excitedly about capture the flag being tonight dinner was more rambunctious than usual. After everyone had eaten Chiron called for attention from everyone.

"It is Capture the Flag tonight" He was interrupted from yells of excitement "Remember the rules everyone now gear up and lets go."

I turned to Luke "who is on our team?"

ANswering me "Athena's cabin and Apollo's cabin are with us"

After we geared up and me in way to big armor and a sword that was way to heavy for me, I was pretty sure I looked like an idiot, Annabeth approached me.

"Hey Percy how are you? Ready for your first game? I'm glad you're on my team."

"I'm pretty good although i'm like 95% sure that I look like an idiot. What am I supposed to do?"

Annabeth chuckled "You do look kind of stupid. We are putting you on border duty it's pretty easy that way we're not shoving you into a game you barely know."

"Cool" I said deflated a little bit.

After saying that Annabeth ran forward towards Luke as I walked further behind them.

I stood by the creek 'guarding' it even though I really had nothing to do. All the action was elsewhere. After about 10 minutes I heard rustling and a low growl. I swiveled looking into the trees behind me but saw nothing.

"Hey Newbie!" An angry voice shouted.

Whipping around I saw Clarisse stalking towards me with 5 other people. They had their swords drawn and Clarisse had a spear in her hand.

I got prepared for a fight even though I knew I was going to lose. A guy I'm going to call Minion 1 swung at me first. I try to move away but he cut a large gash on my arm. Minion 2 and 3 were slowly approaching as I started to back up towards the stream tripping on a rock as I went falling flat on my butt.

"I thought maiming was against the rules?" I tried to sound confident but it came out more like a question

Clarisse sarcastic remark was " Oh no! No desert for a week. Boo hoo"

That's when my hand landed in the stream and I felt a surge of strength. Minion 2 was a bit too close for comfort so I took a swing at him although he backed up just before my blade hit him. Jumping up I took the but of my sword and smashed it over Minion 3's head and he crumples to the ground. I'm not sure what happened next but a couple of swings and jabs all her little minions were on the ground groaning in pain. Clarisse was visibly more pissed off then she was a second ago and she started to approach me. She took her spear aiming for my gut but it was as if time slowed down. I moved out of the way and grabbed onto the end of her spear shaft taking my sword and slicing downwards breaking it in half.

That's when I heard cheers erupt and I looked to my left and saw Luke running with the flag and 5 Ares campers behind him. He crossed the stream and everyone went crazy.

"It was a setup all a setup!" Clarisse protested and pushed me to the ground ready to pummel someone.

"Need help" Annabeth said appearing by my side offering her hand.

"Thanks. So I'm guessing you had that planned."

"I always have a plan." She said nonchalantly "What's that on your arm?"

"Oh one of the guys cut my arm."

"well it doesn't look like a sword cut."

I looked down and my sword cut and it was heeling until it was just a tiny white scar. We shared a bewildered look until a loud growling was heard throughout the camp.

"Percy move!" I heard Luke shout as Annabeth took a step away from me. A giant black mass jumped out of the trees and then over the campers landing onto me. It started to tear through my armor and into my flesh. Blood was going everywhere and all I could here was my screaming. All of a sudden the hound stopped and multiple thunks could be herd above. Then it fell over onto its side and there were multiple arrows sticking out of it. It slowly sunk into the ground as if were melting into shadows.

"How did a Hell hound get through the borders!" Luke shouted

Clarisse decided it was a good time to open her mouth. "It was Percy she obviously brought it here to prove herself."

"Shut up Percy wouldn't do that. Percy get in the water." Annabeth told me helping me up from the ground moving me towards the water. "Chiron trust me."

Once I hit the water with my feet I instantly felt stronger. Everyone gasped as I started to heal. All of a sudden a sweatshirt in front of me.

"Percy take me sweatshirt." Luke offered.

I was extremely grateful for that seeing as my shirt got torn open. When I had put on the sweatshirt I looked at everyone and they were all looking above my head. When I looked up I saw a glowing blue trident just as it started to disappear.

All of a sudden everyone was bowing.

"All hail Perseus Jackson Daughter of the Earthshaker King of the sea Poseidon." Chiron said.

Stay Classy
