Chapter 5
Jeremy POV
We went to our base at Zeus' Fist. Percy told us the plan, then we heard a horn. "Let the games begin!" Chiron shouted. Percy said, "What are you waiting for? Let's GO!" We ran off in separate directions. "So, what do we do?" I asked Sam. "We get the flag," he said. "Do we have any idea who's defending it?" "Pretty sure nearly everyone, other than the flag party." "Great." I wondered who were on the other flag party.
"Hey! Who's that?" Percy yelled at the opponents, pointing at a girl that I'd never seen before. "Unclaimed, Will's mom adopted her!" was the response. "Ok, we've got someone who even I don't know. This is going to be kinda scary… I didn't expect this girl…" Percy frowned, looking worried about having a new kid. "OK, let's go get this flag!" We sneaked around the forest to a river near the flag. "Shhh! I'll go get the flag while you guys distract them. Sam, use the river if needed. Jeremy, you'll know what to do. Just fight," said Percy.
Percy made a water tornado and spiraled towards the flag. I went behind him, looking out for archers. Sam supplied Percy with water from the river. We saw an arrow fly out from nowhere, seemingly appearing suddenly in the air. "Shit. PERCY, LOOK OUT!" We yelled towards him, but the tornado drowned out the noise. We heard a thud, and the tornado dissipated, leaving Percy fainted on the floor with an arrow that went through his chest. "Sam, you heal him. I'll get us the flag," I shouted at him. He replied, "I've got you covered. Go!"
I ran towards the flag. Amazingly, there was no one there. I guess they all expected us to give up after shooting Percy. A Fury appeared out of nowhere. "HOW DARE YOU TAKE THE HELM! RETURN IT OR DIE! PAINFULLY!" Alecto said (it was Alecto) I was glued to the spot. I didn't even dare breathe. "I… I don… don't h... h… have i…t…" I said. "WHERE IS IT?! HOW DARE YOU NOT ADMIT YOUR CRIMES!" Alecto said. "Wha… What is the Helm?" "HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW, THIEF! YOU LIE! AND FOR THAT, YOU MUST DI…" Alecto's words were cut short by the Caerus (minor god, look him up) kid shooting her.
"What are you waiting for? Fight me!" he said. I took out Enkavma. He shot an arrow towards the sky. "What the heck?" I said. I ran up to him, Enkavma in my hand. He shot another arrow at the other one, causing both of them to shoot towards me. I managed to dodge one of the arrows, but the other one hit me in the knee, incapacitating me. "Not so proud now, huh? Give me the helm." He said. "WHY THE !#$%y($!(%#$!*%^*!#^%*^$%*!#%$&*^ %(&$*($ %& DOES EVERYONE THINK I HAVE THE ^%^#*% HELM OF DARKNESS! I ^^%*# &^$*& #^*$& DON'T!"I yelled to him. He stabbed me near my heart, then ran away. I managed to crawl to the first aid station, telling Will what had happened. "Damn, really? That kid deserves to die." We won the game, but at a terrible cost. By the end of the game, all the kids of Hypnos, Nike, Hecate and most of the other minor gods had gone. Even some kids of the major gods were gone. Jenny had disappeared. Nico had disappeared. Even Annabeth went missing.
