Annabeth's pov:
Spencer (Juniper and Grover's older son) led us to where a man lay on the ground. He was wounded by a monster attack. Grover and Juniper were using nature magic to try to heal him but it was using a lot of their energy. The man was mumbling one word: "Rachel".
Rachel gasped from behind us. She ran up to the poor guy. "James! What are you doing here? I told you it was too dangerous to come after me!" she said throughout sobs.
Chiron came up to us. "Oh dear. We must take him to the big house! Mortal as he is, he needs nectar and ambrosia!" he said.
Nectar? Ambrosia? Normally, that would kill a human. Chiron was hiding something. We went inside. Aqua ran up to me then.
"Mom, can we talk?" she asked.
"Sure," I said. I wanted a reason to be away from all this. It was too easy for me to picture Percy in James's body. Or, rather, in his position. I walked to cabin MIX. Cabin MIX was a cabin for mixed children like Aqua and Daedalus. There were others too. Clarisse and Chris daughter Silena (named after Silena Beauregard who died fighting) was there too. There were others too. People like Benji and Patty or Lizzie and Kyle. Most of the parents are younger half-bloods that arrived at camp after the titan war.
We stopped at the MIX cabin. Aqua knocked 5 times. The door opened.
"Mrs. Jackson! Or should we call you Miss Chase?" asked Lizzie.
"Mrs. Jackson will do," I said.
"We need to ask you some questions. Well, one actually," said Benji. "Capture the flag. What's so special about that?" he asked.
"Simple. You have to fight monsters in the field. There is magical items like electric spears," I said.
"Wow!" they said together.
At that moment Clarisse and Chris walked over to Silena. Clarisse was holding an electric spear and Chris had a flying wing pack.
"Here," said Clarisse and Chris together, "are your magical items for capture the flag." Silena was too shocked to speak.
All the other kids got something to use that day. I was so surprised that Chris and Clarisse gave Silena 2 magical items. Usually a kid got one every 2 years and here Silena was, getting 2 in the same day! Lucky! Tonight capture the flag was going to be different: Families vs. Campers. There were more campers but the families had adults with experience on the teams. Tonight is going to be fun…I hope.
