Percy's POV

My favorite game in camp is capture the flag, I know my first game of capture the flag wasn't a good memory . . . actually it was. That was the time I learned I was a son of Poseidon. Yeah you heard me correctly Poseidon, god of the oceans and earthquakes. Anyways my first capture the flag I snapped Clarisse's electric spear in half. But I also learned that Annabeth, daughter of Athena had tricked me, to distract the Ares kids.

Ahh . . . Annabeth. She has the curly blonde curls that look like a princess's and the stormy gray eyes. I have to admit she was even prettier than the Aphrodite girls, and that's saying something since they are . . .

I felt a hand on my shoulder and nearly jumped out of my skin. I turned around and Annabeth was standing there, smirking.

"Annabeth! You scared me!"

"Yeah I kind of figured that when I saw you jump. How did you not see me? I'll bet the Aphrodite cabin is talking about how I'm talking to you." Oh the Aphrodite cabin, yeah they made up some rumors about me and Annabeth . . . dating.

"Oh nothing, just thinking."

"That's a first for a seaweed brain. Since you did seem like you're thinking, who's the lucky girl." Woah, how did she figure that out?

"Why would you think I'm thinking about a girl? Hoping it was you?" I ask teasingly.

"No." She said simply before turning her back. I was just teasing her, gosh why did girls have to be so complicated.

I headed to the pavilion where Chiron was about to make an announcement.

"Glad you could join us Percy." I heard snickers all around but just stood there. "So this week we are going to do something different. Instead of playing capture the flag or racing chariots, we are going to have a sword fighting tournament." There was silence, I could tell most people wanted to play capture the flag. Sword-fighting was my second favorite thing to do at camp. I was the best sword fighter since Luke. There were people would evenly match me but I can still beat them, people like Annabeth. I was excited. "I'm going to pair you up and the winner moves up until there is the final two, from there the ultimate champion. Oh and if you're the winner, no chores for a month." Everyone got excited, I mean no chores for a month, everyone wants that. "Ok, you are going to fight one match a day and I will pair you with your first partner."

He read the list and we fought our first partner. I was against one of the Aphrodite girls. I won in less than ten seconds flat, she squealed the first time I hit her sword and she dropped it, giving me full access to her neck, which I pointed the sword at. She ran away screaming, I rolled my eyes and went to Chiron to tell him I won.

I walked through the other duels and saw Annabeth working hard to beat Clarisse. Even though she is very talented with her knife, Clarisse is one of the other people who can beat her, along with me. She locked eyes with me and glared, somehow giving her more strength she knocked Clarisse aside and pointed her knife at her chest. Clarisse got up, glared at Annabeth and stalked off, probably looking for her next prey. I quickly got away from Annabeth, hoping she wasn't picturing my head being sliced to pieces. I went to Chiron and told him about my winning and then ran to the beach, where I slept peacefully.
