Well, this chapter has some parts of the movie. Anyway, I hope that now you'll like it.
Chapter 5
I woke up when somebody stepped on my foot.
"Ouch!" I whined. I looked up.
A tall boy with brown eyes and brown hair stood there. "Whoops. Sorry. You should get up. Breakfast in fifteen minutes, and then Capture the Flag. By the way, I'm Travis," He reached out.
Capture The Flag, huh? Finally. "Riley," I shook his hand. I felt stinging, and then I almost jumped.
"Haha! Gothca!" He laughed.
"A buzzer? Seriously? It's, like, the oldest trick in the book."
"Yeah, but it's fun. Ten minutes."
I got up on my feet, and walked towards the bathroom. I washed my dace and my teeth. I gathered my hair in a pony tail, and put my brooch on, just in case. Then I realized I'm the only one who doesn't have a camp t – shirt. I was still wearing my dark jeans, my blue t – shirt and my running shoes.
I went out to my sleeping bag, and an orange t – shirt with the words Camp Half Blood, a pair of jeans and running shoeswas on it. Well, at least now I won't stand out.
I went outside, and sat down at the Hermes table with everybody else. I ate an omelet and drank orange juice. I took one strawberry, and threw it in the fire. And again, I thought. Please give me a sign. I smelled the weird ocean breeze again. OK…
When it was time for Capture The Flag, Luke gave me armor. A silver helmet with a red tail. A shield and the sword Percy gave me, Phobos.
"I heard you already have an experience with Phobos," Said Luke while he handed me the sword. "So I thought you might want keep fighting with it."
"It would be my honor," I joked.
Chiron, the Centaur, stood in the center of all of us, and spoke. "Heroes! Warriors! Over here. Riley, step forward," He whispered. I stepped forward. "This is Riley. She will be with the red team today," That Annabeth girl scanned me down. "You know the rules. Permitted use in any magical object. Places!"
I went back to my team. Luke stood in the head of it, and I stood behind him. "Ready!" He yelled. "Setty! GO!" The teams stormed on each other. That creepy girl, Clarisse, tried to attack me.
"Pay back time, Shorty," She slashed in my direction. She hurt my hand. It itched and burned. I blocked her next landing, and pushed her from me. I ran to find the flag. I knew it won't be easy, but I tried anyway.
The flag was placed near the river, on a small hill.
"Ha. I won," I grabbed the flag.
"In your dreams," I heard a voice. I looked around but I didn't see anyone.
"Who's there?" I picked up my sword. "Show yourself!"
Eventually, a saw a figure that started to clear. Annabeth Chase. Can get enough of wiseguys, huh? She smiled. "Did you really think it would be that easy?"
"Well, I don't know. Will you prove me different?"
She slashed on my direction and hurt my stomach. I tried to block her next landing, but she cut my cheek. I fell down on my knees. "Get up and fight. Hero." I tried, but I couldn't. She chuckled, and pushed me down with her leg. I didn't notice, but all the campers were surrounding us, including Chiron. The blue team applaud.
I was so ashamed. I thought I can do better than that. Suddenly, the river started overflowing. When it reached me, I didn't got wet. I felt stronger. My wounds were healing. I saw a green glowing above me. I looked up. It was Poseidon's Trident. What that's supposed to mean?
"What? What is this sign?" I asked, confused. Percy just stood there. He just froze.
"Your father," Said Luke. "Very bad sign."
"My… My father? What about him?"
"It is determined," Said Chiron.
Campers started kneeling. "What are you doing? Why are you all kneeling? Get up, for the gods' sake!"
"Poseidon," Said Chiron. "Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses. Hail, Riley, Daughter of the Sea God."
