"So what is Capture the Flag?" I was standing by Will in the mess hall waiting for something to happen. I had just been told that every Friday, the Camp holds a tournament called Capture the Flag, but that's all I know.

"Basically you have to get the flag from the opposing team and get it across your team's boundary line before the other team gets it back off you and captures you." I nodded in understanding.

"Sounds simple enough," Will looked at me with raised eyebrows

"Does it sound simple when I tell you that everyone will be running around in full armour attacking the waving swords around like madmen just to get a flag? Well that and boasting rights for the next week. It's not as bad as it sounds," He broke off from his sentence and looked to be deep in thought.

"On second thoughts, scrap that last sentence. I can be pretty bad at times... Okay most of the time. Especially when the captains are angry at each other for something."

"And who, are the captains." I was almost dreading the answer.

"You haven't been told?" I shook my head.

"I don't even know whose team I'm on." He looked at me shocked that no one even thought of telling me this.

"You're on Annabeth's team, with me. But unfortunately that means we have to go against Clarisse. In fact it makes it worse since Annabeth is a captain this time."

I groaned. "How bad?"

"Well. Considering that Ares and Athena can't stand the sight of each other, their children have taken it upon themselves to hold that rivalry between each other as well."

"HEY. Good for them. They are continuing something stupid and pointless, why can't people just get along?" Will snorted as though the thought of Annabeth and Clarisse being friendly towards each other was funny.

"About as likely as Athena and Poseidon decided to marry each other," As he finished his sentence, thunder boomed overhead.

"I didn't mean it like that." The thunder continued to sound over head getting louder with each crash.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry!" As soon as he said that the thunder stopped.

"Forget I said anything." I smirked slightly and looked at Will from the corner of my eye, "Don't look at me like that. I said I was sorry."

I nodded my head quickly and shrugged my shoulders, still smirking,"Whatever you say."

He opened his mouth to say something but was stopped from saying anything as a loud horn sounded from somewhere in camp.

I looked around confused but followed everyone as they went to stand in front of a raised platform. As soon as everyone was in place Annabeth and Clarisse came running from opposite sides of the stage. Both carrying flags with their parents symbols on them, Annabeth an Owl and Clarisse a Boar. Chiron came onto the stage not long after them and stood facing the crowd of demigods, he waited for the cheering that had erupted when Annabeth and Clarisse came on to the stage to stop before speaking.

"Warriors, Hero's, Captains. I would like to remind you of the rules. No maiming, no killing. You may capture the opponents but you are not allowed to remove their weapons. You have ten minutes to place your flag and get into position. You may begin at the sound of the sound of the horn, chose your weapons wisely."

He opened his arms wide as though trying to embrace us all and I noticed that the dinner tables had been covered with armour and weapons of various kinds. Will grabbed my arm and led me over to the tabled that Annabeth and Luke were at fitting themselves with armour.

I looked at Will asking him silently to help me, only to find that he had already grabbed a set of spare armour that looked around my size.

"It's not perfect," He said. "But it will do until the Hephaestus cabin can get you a new set."

After getting dressed into our armour and after finding our weapons, we lined up waiting for orders.

"Blue's follow me," Annabeth's voice called from somewhere in front of us. I marched along with the rest of the team as we made our way into the forest.

"Sophia you forgot something." I turned to look at Will who had jogged up beside me, I looked over myself trying to see what I had forgotten but couldn't see anything. I went to ask him what he meant, but was stopped by something being fitted onto my head. I reached up and felt the cold metal of the Grecian helmet that Will had placed onto my head.

I looked up at him and laughed"Really?"

He shrugged."I figured you want to fit in with everyone else on the team."

I looked around and saw that he was right, everyone was wearing similar helmets to mine, with blue plumes of hair sticking up at the top.

"No thanks. I rather keep my dignity." I pulled the helmet off my head and wrapped a blue bandana around my head.

"Chris, I want you on border duty." I looked at Annabeth in shock.

"Why me?" Annabeth gave me a look that clearly said that she didn't want to argue right now.

"Because I'm the captain and I said so." I didn't get a chance to argue back as Will started to push me away.

"I'll get her into position Annabeth, don't worry 'bout." I glared at Will as he continued to push me further away from where Annabeth was giving orders.

"Really Will? I can walk you know." Will stopped pushing me and let go of my shoulders as he led me toward where the border was.

We walked in silence for a while, until we came to a small river that splint the forest in half.

"Here we are." I looked at Will slightly scared.

"What exactly meant to do?"

"I thought it was kind of obvious," I gave him a look that said I wasn't in the mood to mess around. "All you're meant to do is stop people from crossing the border. Don't worry too much about it, not many people ever cross this way."

"Why?" Will shrugged.

"Never did find that out. And besides I won't be that far away from you. I'll be on the other side of the line to try and stop people from getting to the flag." I nodded slightly relived that someone I know would be nearby.

"Okay?" I nodded at him

"Okay."

"You sure?"

"Yes Will! Now get a move on before Annabeth kicks our butts."

He laughed when I pushed him in the direction of the enemy's line. "I'm going, I'm going. I can tell when I'm unwanted."

I laughed at his antics before sighing. This was going to be a long night.

I have no idea how long had passed since the horn had sounded, but I'm sure it must have been an hour at most. I had been sitting in a tree, bored stiff, twirling my sword around in my hands waiting for the game to be over. But I was also anxious to get into a fight.

I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of twigs snapping nearby. I looked in the direction down at it came from and almost groaned when I saw who had come out from behind the trees on the other side of the river. Then I swiftly jumped down from the tree.

"Well, look at what we have here. A little Princess lost in the woods. Tell me Princess, where are your knights in shining armour?"

"I don't know what you're talking about Clarisse." Clarisse growled at me, but I stood my ground.

"Don't play dumb with me Jackson."

"Clarisse, I seriously don't know what you're about." Clarisse laughed loudly, something I didn't really want to hear again. It sounded like a pig being attacked by a cow. And yes, I do realize that what I just said made no sense. But I swear that's what it sounded like.

"Well it's not surprising that you don't understand. I wouldn't have taken you as the dumb sort."

I heard more branches breaking and I saw all of the Ares cabin, well those who were older than me, emerge from the trees all looking just as big, bulky and as stupid as their sister. All of a sudden I got the feeling that I was being watched again. I looked at every direction, "What's this a party?"

I could hear her getting closer to me, but I was still looking for the source.

"I want you to tell us how you managed to pull off that stunt in the bathroom."

I turned back to them I have to admit I was a little bit nervous about the slowly advancing children of Ares. I mean come on who wouldn't it was seven against one. But of course me being me I was to stubborn to back down I just smirked and said, "It's a secret."

Clarisse tutted sadly.

"Wrong answer," She grabbed my armour, before throwing me into river harshly. Her siblings laughed at my misfortune. I was still smirking

"How does it feel being the one getting wet Jackson? Not nice is it?"

"Actually It's quite refreshing." I started to get up from the water, sudden anger rushing through my veins. "And besides, it wasn't like I did it on purpose."

"You insulted me!" I stalked right up to Clarisse and stood toe to toe with her. I had to tilt my head back so I could look her in the eye, but that didn't stop me from shoving her.

"You wanna tell me how I did that?" She growled even more and stalked right up to me, standing in front of me just as I had done to her before.

"You got toilet water all over me!" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Really? Just because I got toilet water on you. After you tried sticking my head down that toilet." I laughed a loud humorless laugh "It's not like the smell couldn't have gotten any worse. However I did it, I did you a favour, you needed a bath anyway."

I paused for a second then said," I actually rather be a Princess then Sir smells-a-lot." That apparently wasn't the smartest thing to say, as she let out a huge cry of rage. Her sibling's took that as a signal and stalked towards me, like a lion would stalk its prey.

I walked back into the river and sighed. I took out my sword and twirled it before getting in a fighting stance. No way on earth was I going to back out of this.

The biggest one out of the brother's attacked me first. He swung his sword at me and I blocked it with my own. I felt a surge of strength and power flow through me. It was as though one hundred lessons of sword fighting had been taught to me in less than five seconds.

I saw every move he made before he even made them, which put me one step further than him. Somehow during the fight, I had managed to bring him to his knees with my sword at his throat, his own sword a few feet away.

"Don't just stand there. Attack her." I looked up at Clarisse and frowned when I saw her five other sibling she brought step forward to meet me. But this time I step away.

Ugly number one raced out towards me, sword at the ready, but I easily sidestepped him before delivering a hard blow to his back with the hilt of my sword, sending him face first into the water.

Ugly number two seemed slightly hesitant at attacking me, and faltered slightly so that gave me an advantage. I quickly brought my sword up and smashed the side of the sword against his helmet, bringing him to his knees in a daze. I quickly unarmed him and threw the sword a good two meters away from us.

Ugly number three and four attacked me together. On this one I started using my hand and feet. They swung their swords at the same time I block one with my sword and the other using my arm brace. I kicked ugly three in the face and she was knocked down and I swooped four's feet out from under her then disarmed her she went over to her sister and they retreated.

I turned to look at Ugly number five and raised my eyebrow at him, daring him to try and attack me. Unlike his brothers and sisters, he instantly turned and sprinted back the way he came. I giggled which seem to make the fight even more pitiful.

"Coward!" Clarisse yelled after him before she turned back to me. "Guess I'm gonna have to finish you myself huh?"

"Bring it." She charged me with her spear, and I sighed and side stepped her. But she seemed to anticipate that as she brought her spear to my back. A huge jolt went through my back and I was sent flying further down the river. I sat up in shock.

I turned back around to face Clarisse just in time to see her stampeding towards me. I threw myself onto the river bank just in time, but she still managed to scratch my arm with her spear hard enough to draw blood. I looked down in shock at my arm before looking back at Clarisse, my face hardened in anger. I walked back into the river to meet her. I picked up my sword from where I dropped it and stood still. Waiting for to make the first move.

"Argggggggggh" She charged towards me with a huge battle cry spear poised at the ready. As she drew nearer, I tightened the hold I had on my sword. When she was barely a few feet away from me, I swung my sword in a wide arch, cutting her spear in half. It cackled slightly as the piece I had cut off landed in the water, which I realized then, was electric. She had attacked me, with an electric spear.

'Wow' .I thought to myself 'they really do take thing seriously around here don't they? Crrrraaaaazzzzzyyyy.'

Clarisse started swearing at me in Ancient Greek, the words I recognized would make even a sailor blush. I started taking notes about her language.

"You idiot!" She yelled at me. "That was a gift from my father!"

"Well," I started slowly, "You shouldn't have attacked me if you didn't want it broken."

Before she could retort, cries of joy came from the enemy line. I stepped out of the way as Luke came flying past, the flag with a boar on it in his hand. But as he crossed the border the flag changed to a Caduceus, the symbol of Hermes. We had won.

"No!" Clarisse turned in a rage to some of her teammates who had been following Luke and began to yell at them for making them lose. I smiled as I watched Luke and his siblings and the rest of our team celebrate or win.

Out of the cornor of my eye I saw two people behind the trees watching everything. One had bright red hair, while the other had dark brown, they also shared identical kind feactures. Twins. I smiled at them and waved as they gave a small wave back.

"Well done." I jumped in surprise and looked around for the voice. I could have sworn I had heard Annabeth's voice. I shook my head thinking I must have hit it at some point and not realized it; I only realized that I had not been imagining her voice, when Annabeth shimmered into existence next to me. I jumped and my hand instinctively raised my sword.

"Annabeth! You almost gave me a heart attack." She raised her hands up as though she was saying she came in peace.

"Sorry. I hadn't meant to scare you."

"Don't worry. How did you do that anyway?" She raised a Yankees baseball cap as her answer.

"A gift from my mother," she shrugged as though it didn't really matter where she got it from, but I could see she was incredibly proud of her cap.

"How long have you been there anyway?" She shrugged.

"I don't know, a few minutes before Clarisse appeared I think." I just stood still and stared at her annoyance starting to creep through me "What?"

"You have been here since Clarisse appeared, and you didn't even help?" She stepped back slightly surprised at my anger.

"It looked like you had it under control. And besides I was would have helped out if it had gotten out of hand." I clenched and unclenched my hands, she wasn't serious was she?

"It was seven against one!" I said in a dangerous clam voice that made her step back.

"I did see, but I also saw you were able to take care of it." She held up her when she saw I was about to retort.

"Don't argue with me. I think it's time we found W-" She stopped suddenly looking at my arm in confusion. "What happened to you arm?"

"Clarisse scratched it. You should kn-" But I cut my sentence short when I heard a growl come from behind me somewhere. I looked behind me only to find nothing there, I shook my head thinking I was finally going crazy.

"Your arm was bleeding. It's not now." I looked down at my arm and found that what she had said was true. Where there had once been a small gash, was now clear skin, no scar or nothing.

It was like I hadn't even been cut at all, in fact the proof I had been injured was the ripped cloth of my sleeve and where the small amount of blood I had lost dried on my arm. I gave off a small smile.

"Strange." Annabeth mused to herself. I looked back up to her face and saw she was in deep concentration as though she was putting the last pieces of a particularly difficult puzzle.

"What is it?" But before she could answer, a loud dangerous growl cut through the night. But this time I wasn't the only one who had heard it. Chiron barked something out in Ancient Greek that I realized to late what it meant.

Stand ready, my bow. As everyone scrambled into position I stood still looking into the darkness. I reeled back in horror as a pair of glowing red eyes appeared on top of the small ridge that leaned over the river, looking straight at me. Annabeth seemed to realize its intention to, as she started to shout at me to run.

"Chris run!" She screamed at me when I stood still, looking at the beast in wonder. I only regained my senses as the beast leapt at me, and only then did I realize that it was too late. The beast landed on top of me clawing at me, drawing blood as it did.

I fought back trying to get it off me, hoping to get it off me long enough to make a run for it. But it was too strong, it clawed at me ripping the skin on my chest. I hear a Whoosh and the water throw the beast off of me, I stood up and the water surrounding me went up in 8 thick sort of tentacles type vine things.

The beast came to me again. Then I heard the familiar shout of Chris and sound of a bow releasing an arrow. The arrow hit its target dead on, and the dog like beast fell off me before turning into a pile of dust, just like the Minotaur had.

I released my hold on the water and it fell back in to the creek, I just stood there for a second, my muscles relaxed and all of the pain the hellhound had caused me withered away. I looked down at my wounds and saw that they were starting to heal. The blood stopped first, then the wounds closed and scabbed over until there was no trace of being hurt, not even a scar.

I heard multiple gasps from everyone on the shore.

I looked at Will with confusion clearly on my face.

"Chris...Look up." I did as he said. I looked at everyone that had crowed the water's edge and saw their faces lit with a green light. I looked up, not exactly sure what I was expecting to see, but what I did see was defiantly not what I had expected.

A glowing green trident was hovering above my head, it started to fade as I looked at it. After it had disappeared the entire forest had gone silent. And I mean the entire forest, the wind had stopped and the trees stood still, the water that was still rushing under my feet had seemed to become muted. No longer could you hear the breaths of the demigods that now stood shell shocked at what had happened. It was as though the entire forest was waiting with baited breath for something to happen.

It seemed as though years had passed until someone spoke. Chiron finally broke through the silence.

"It is determined."

"What?" I asked as I looked at everyone in confusion as they kneeled before me. Although with some reluctance on the Ares cabin's part.

"Your father," I heard Will say before he to bowed before me.

"Poseidon," Said Chiron. "Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of horses. Hail, Chrysanthe Jackson, Daughter of the Sea God." Then he to, moved into a deep bow.

"What was that thing?" I asked aloud

"A hellhound, sent from the fields of punishment." Chiron's familiar voice answered.

"Thank you."

"It wasn't me, it was William."

I stumbled I little bit as I moved out of the creek, Will moved forward and helped me stand. I stopped him from leading me away from the forest, and when he realized I had no intention of moving he looked down at me confused.

"Chris?" I ignored Will for a moment and looked at Chiron confused.

"I thought this camp was meant to be safe?" Chiron nodded solemnly.

"It is."

"Then how did the hellhound manage to get in?" A camper spoke up from somewhere in-between the cluster of demigods.

"It was summoned from someone within the camp." Came the answer from a sullen faced Chiron. He seem so sad at the thought of someone inside the camp endangering the campers.

"It was Chris!" All eyes turned to look at Clarisse "She called it!"

"That's stupid!" Retorted Will "Why would Chris summon a demon from hell itself and then let it attack her, endangering her life?" Murmurs of agreement went through the crowd but Will paid no attention to them and turned back to me.

"Let's go." I looked at Annabeth wondering where she will stand with all this, she was glaring at me. I realized Will was my only REAL friend the whole time.

"Kay." I walked through the forest with will when my legs gave out and I came crashing into him. When I got studied another pair of hand grabbed my arm. I looked over to see the twins I saw in the trees. I gave them I small smile, then everything went black.
