I don't know if people are liking this story or not because I have seen very little people review, favorite, or follow the story. if nobody likes it then I think I might take it down. I am losing motivation, which is you guys, to continue on with this story. I hope it would get some better reception than it has, but that's life. anyways R&R :)

Cole's POV

The next morning Percy and I got up very early. We were used to it and decided to go to the beach to spar. We would have gone to the arena but then we would have woken everyone up with the clashing of our weapons and we also didn't want to destroy the arena. Another reason I think was because Percy didn't want to clean up a huge mess since the beach was just sand a couple trees and rocks. We didn't have to worry about hurting anyone. We started just warming up with a swim in the ocean and ran along the beach a couple laps. Then we began to fight. We were a challenge for each other because we were both strong, and knew how to use our weapons effectively. As Percy came after me, I sent a beam of sunlight at him, effectively blinding him. Then I jumped up in the air my wings helping me. I was about to hit him with the butt of my spear but right before he turned around and rolled right under me shocking me. I fell on the ground in a heap and before I could rise he had his sword at my throat.

"H-how?" I asked in amazement.

"Oh come on Cole, just because I can't see you doesn't mean I don't know where you are. You forget I am the son of Poseidon, not only the earthshaker, but also god of the oceans. I can sense the water in your body." He said smiling and giving me a hand up.

I shook my head. He was just full of surprises I don't know how anyone could beat him unless they took away his powers, but even then his skills with any kind of weapon was unbelievable so I bet he still could beat anyone no matter what.

"Let's go shower and then meet the girls I am sure they are already awake and breakfast is soon." Percy said. We went to his cabin and showered and put on our normal Guardian clothes, but we left our hoods down since everyone knew who we were now. We left and made our way to Artemis' cabin. We knocked on the door and were greeted by Kendra.

"Hey Perce, Cole, we are almost ready, Artemis is taking a shower right now and then we will be ready to go to breakfast." She said. She let us come in and the girls greeted both of us. Hannah came and gave me a kiss, but we were separated by Zoe when she said, "Can you two get a room?"

The girls all laughed along with Percy, while Hannah and I blushed. We then joined in the laughing and sat on the couch to wait for Artemis to finish up. When she finally came out Percy went to her and gave her a kiss as well. The girls all giggled.

"So you tell Hannah and I to get a room, but it's ok when they do it? That's not fair." I said whining.

"That's because they are Percy and Artemis and because we like them better than you." Phoebe said smiling at us to know she was joking. The girls all laughed again this time joined by Artemis as well.

"All right lets go to breakfast now. I think Cole has had enough embarrassment for one hour." Zoe said grinning evilly. I paled at the thought.

We made our way to breakfast and sat down. Most of the campers still were talking about us, well Percy mostly. I suppose he was a sort of legend here at camp. I still can't get over what he has accomplished, and the things he has turned down, and what he has been through.

As we ate breakfast I heard a son of Ares talking about Percy and I. I heard him talking about how we were weak and that's why we stayed with the girls so we could feel stronger. "I bet they were to scared to play capture the flag against us because they were scared that their faces would get hurt. I bet they are both secretly gay." he said out loud.

At that those who heard him were immediately quiet. The ones who knew Percy, were looking at him, expecting him to blow up in his face. They were surprised when Percy just looked at Artemis, and I could tell he was asking for permission. She nodded and then Percy stood up and turned around and said, "How about we play another game of Capture the flag and Cole and I will join this time and we will see how weak we are."

"Oh right ya that will be fun, we will beat you guys easily, those girls only won because they can run fast from us." He said cockily.

I sighed, knowing that he probably won't live long after the capture the flag game, or if he did then he wouldn't be having kids ever. "Ok tomorrow after lunch we will have another game." I said speaking for Percy.

"Agreed, prepare to get your asses handed to you." The son of Ares said. Then he got up with his siblings and a couple other people that were apart of his little group joined him outside.

We finished eating and then went to the cabin.

"So Percy you got any ideas on how to beat these guys?" Phoebe said.

"Of course, they are going to lose easily. I do have to ask, do you ladies want it to last awhile or get it over with quickly. Either way will humiliate them." He said smirking.

The Hunters all grinned evilly and I shuddered thinking how bad the boys were going to suffer.

"Lets do the longer one. I want to draw it out." Thalia said, while the rest nodded in support.

"Okay here is the plan. We are going to wait while they send most of their campers because they will think that just Cole and I are going to go for the flag so they will keep some of the older campers back. But what we will do is everyone will hang back and we will capture everybody that comes over. Then when we got almost everyone except the ones guarding the flag we will go and get it. Simple as that. And you girls will get to set traps for them and other fun stuff." Percy said. It was a really good plan.

Phoebe, Zoe, and Thalia all began rubbing their hands together all the while with grins on their faces like the Cheshire cat.

Time Skip ~ Next Day

We had just finished lunch and were getting ready for the game. We met at the creek where Chiron explained the rules, then we went off to hide our flag. We put ours in a tree that stood alone for the most part and kept everyone hidden so it looked like no one was guarding it. In reality there were traps all around it, and we were all around in trees or hiding in bushes.

Chiron sounded the horn to begin the game and right away we heard yelling from the campers. They were so predictable, sending the Ares cabin first to try to draw us out, and get some of us out.

Then they did something that Percy probably didn't predict, and sent Travis and Connor in the air using shoes they must have gotten from their father. They flew through the air dodging arrows until they were close to the flag.

"Cole go stop them." Percy said to me standing right by me.

"Yes sir." I said grinning, maybe ill have some payback against them. I would give them a little scare. I flew up right in front of them stopping them right over a hidden trap.

"No fair, that you can fly along with all your other powers, and turning into a wolf." Travis said.

"Life isn't fair deal with it." I said drawing my bow and firing not at them but at their shoes. They had closed their eyes thinking I was aiming for them and didn't see me cut the wings off their shoes. I laughed and then they opened their eyes to realize that I had hit their shoes and started to fall. They were screaming until Percy caught them.

"Oh man Percy why did you have to ruin my fun?" I said whining.

"Cole I know they played a joke on you but doesn't mean you can kill them or hurt them really bad, it's against the rules." Percy said.

"I knew that. There was a net right below them that would have caught them." I told him pointing to the hidden net right below them.

"Oh ok then." He said letting them drop until they landed in the net which tangled them up so they couldn't escape.

After that we took care of everyone else except the son of Ares and his little group. Percy told us all to leave them alone he would take care of them. The rest of the Hunters agreed and they went to go beat the rest of the defenders and get the flag. I stayed behind with Percy along with Hannah.

We waited a little while hidden in the trees until he came with his siblings. Percy stepped out and said, "I left all the Hunters to go get the flag."

"Oh, so you left only yourself to guard it. You are foolish to think you can take all of us on." He said arrogantly. While they were talking I silently took his cronies out. I then transformed into a wolf and waited. Thomas apparently waiting for his friends to back him up looked back and saw me staring at him and yelped jumping backwards and falling on his butt.

"Cole leave him to me." Percy told me. I nodded my head and backed off.

"Wait Percy, can I take him? He was the one trying to hit on me the most earlier." Hannah said jumping down from the tree she was in and walking behind me.

"Of course you can, just don't be too easy on him. Lets see how much you have learned from me." Percy said after thinking about it for a minute.

Thomas who was angry at what Percy said, charged at Hannah with his sword raised. Right before he was going to strike the conch blew signaling the end of the game as the Hunters crossed over with the flag. Immediately Percy appeared between then and blocked Thomas' blade with ease, while Hannah had just waited until the last minute to sidestep his attack that wasn't coming anymore.

"Well boy, guess you are lucky, but tomorrow at the arena you won't be." Hannah said. Then she turned around and walked toward me. I quickly transformed into a human and grabbed her hand and we walked to where the Hunters were celebrating. Then we all made our way to the cabin and cleaned up and went to the dining hall to eat dinner.

While we were there talking and joking around, Annabeth came behind Percy and shouted, "You cheated!"

"How did we do that?" Percy asked not turning around.

"You kept your team back, and made us come to you, then when you got everyone you swamped us and took our flag!" she said red in the face.

"Yes that is called strategy something I got from Athena." Percy said smirking, while the rest of us laughed. "I just used your numbers, and confidence against you. There is no rules against that, and you could have done the same."

"Well you had you and the other boy on your team, that isn't allowed. The Hunters is only allowed to have females." Annabeth said trying to find some grounds to find that we cheated.

"No where does it say that. The game was campers, you, versus, the Hunters, us, which includes our Guardians." Hannah said while I and the rest of the Hunters nodded in agreement.

"No one asked you girl. Stay out of this." Annabeth said swinging her hand to slap Hannah.

Before I could respond and stop her, she froze. I then noticed looking around, that everyone except the Hunters were not moving at all. Then there was laughing and Nico and Andrew appeared from the shadows. They looked at us grinning, and Nico said, "I have a great idea."

We all watched as he got Thomas, and put him in Hannah's place. We all moved away and let Andrew allow time to move normally.

Smack!

Everyone gasped in shock then started laughing as they saw who Annabeth had really slapped. The two of them then ran outside and we sat down to eat with Andrew and Nico joining us.
