Chapter 4 Capture the Einherjar

The next day flew by, it was dinner already. James is eating with Percy and Tyson. He looks over to the Aphrodite table, and notice the blue-green eyed girl who has been watching him during the week, stealing glances every once in awhile. Once was when he was swimming in the NY sound he got knew he was being watch by some of the girls from cabin 10 hiding in the bushes starring at him without a shirt on because they have taken it during his swim. James ran into the trees so he can hide and to turn into his wolf-form before continuing on to his tent. But now they were about to get the chance to chase him down like hunters hunting a deer. Then he thought about his home Asgard and the many Halls of the gods his favorites were his father's, Bilskirnir,and Freyja's Sessrumnir. And his many friends he left there Kara, Arantir, Romulo, Silmeria, Lenneth, and his two pet sabers Glacier and Jewel

"James! Are you okay?" Percy asked

"Yeah, I was just thinking..."

"You ready for capture the flag?"

"Yeah. Which team are we on?"

"Blue team with Hades, Nemesis, Hephaestus, Hermes, Hecate, and Apollo." Percy explained, "I have been picked to be team captain."

"Who's on the other team's captain?"

"Athena."

"Isn't your girlfriend the head of Athena's cabin?"

"Yeah, we are...conceptive... against each other. Plus we have bet on this game"

That's means red team is Athena, Ares, Zeus, Artemis, Morpheus, Janus, Demter, Dionysus, and Hebe. The conch horn sounded, everyone in the pavilion raised and cheered as the flags were brought in.

Chiron hammered his hoof on the floor, "Heroes!", he said, "You know the rules. The creek is the boundary line. The entire forest is fair game. All magical items are allowed." James zoned out. Then the tables were suddenly covered with equipment: helmets, bronze swords, spears, oxhide shields. James's equipment appeared in front of him. He put on his medallion and belt, shouldered his bow and tied his quiver to his hip. Then picked up his sword-staff and walks over to Percy

"What do you want me to do?" He asked.

"I want you on advance team, and to sneak pass their lines and... wait are you going to get some armor?"

James smiled as he press his medallion and belt buckle. With a flash his iron-dragonscale-armor mineralized, as well as a pair of iron gauntlets and a spartan helmet that incased his head with a visor over his eyes that made it hard to recognized him. He took off his helmet and said, "Yeah I know I stand out like a red thumb but there is something else."

"Glad you're on our team. Blue team move out"

As they walked to the forest, Percy gave orders to them like Achilles did to the Myrmidons at the battle of Troy. Then James move into position when he was sure no one was looking, he turned into his wolf-form. He soon heard the conch shell starting the game. He move through the trees with Nightwatch over head. James was easily able to get pass their lines and went stealthily getting to their flag but it was too easy, and he knew Arnora and her cabin mates will after him for her to them they have not kiss yet. Nightwatch told him not to go in as a wolf but as something else. He decided to risk it moved in closer to the flag sniffing the ground to act the part. He found a scent it smell like Arnora, it was enough to make him jump back to the bush.

That is when saw some of her cabin mates and turn back to human form, charged out of the bush to the flag, he quickly gabbed it and started to run back to the creek with most of cabin 10 hot on his tail screaming and yelling at him to get back here. His heart was racing so fast, it could come out of his chest. James did not want to think what would happen if they caught him.

He was almost there, he could see the creek, when something out of nowhere hit him off his feet. Damn he cursed to himself he had to keep going. Then he saw what hit him it was Arnora just smiling when he saw her, but he just kept running to the creek. Arnora and cabin mates gave chase after him. James did not dare to think what they would to him once they catch him.

Then Percy's squad cut them letting James to get away, but they couldn't hold the girls for long, who quickly got through and was chasing after him again.

Then James ran right into the ambush that Annabeth had set up. Suddenly James was surrounded, he tried to look for a way out but there was none that he could see, so he assess the situation. He was surrounded on all sides behind him was quickly closed up by Aphrodite's girls, in front of him, was 22 campers, 10 of them are swordmen, eight kids of ares then there was thalia and Annabeth. The other 12, six hunters of Artemis and six of Apollo.

James's mind race. he had to break free and get to the creek, that is when James saw a sallow part of their lines. James charged for it jumping over with ease, James now had over 30 campers chasing after him. When James made it to the creek he cross it to meet the rest of blue team who welcomed him with cheers.

But Arnora and other the Aphrodite girls kept going and tackle him to the ground. With the help of the guys they picked him up over their shoulders and carried him back to his tent with Arnora on their shoulders as well. James Kept trying to them he could walk but just told him 'You are not going to get away this time'
