"Hay Luke almost got toasted there." Annabeth giggled again. "No way, I had a plan!" Luke yelled back to Annabeth. He walked over to the fallen warrior and look for any sign of what his godly parent was. He searched him for about two minutes and found a symbol on his helmet. It was a lyre. "Son of Apollo," Luke whispered under his breath. "Alright let's get out of here." said Luke as he went across the creek to get the flag. Just as Luke took the flag off the pole, he heard a screech come behind them. Luke turned around and found a barn owl on Annabeth's arm.
It was Pete, the messenger for Athena and her children. "Pete! What are you doing here?" Luke asked. "Your mother sent me. She wants you two to meet her at the big house after the game." Pete screeched. "Alright we'll be there." Annabeth answered. Pete nodded and flew away. "Ok now let's go now." Luke said he walked over to Annabeth. "Right," Annabeth replied.
Just then someone jumped down from a nearby tree and ran towards them! The children of Athena jumped out of the way as the intruder almost trampled them. Luke pulled out an arrow out of his quiver and shot at the enemy. The intruder dodged it with a roll and tripped Luke! Luke just tripped the enemy back and ran towards Annabeth.
"So going to see your mom tonight, well when I'm finished with you, she won't want to look at you!" The intruder yelled. They can tell by her voice she was a girl. "Who are you?" yelled Annabeth. "Oh you don't recognize me well" she paused. She turned around and took off her helmet and turned towards them it was Clarisse, daughter of Ares.
"Thought you can get to our flag without me knowing." She said with fury in her eyes and her shield and sword ready to slice them to pieces. Ohhhhhh crap Luke whined inside his head but he put on a brave face and got ready to fight. I shouldn't fight from the distance with a bow because of her shield. Maybe its time to bring sting out for a first time. Luke put his hand on sting. Sting is a 40inch celestial bronze blade on one side and, diamond on the other. The diamond side helps cut through many things, such as stone, shields, and even the hardest objects. Luke found it during the battle in Manhattan against Kronos and his army. He was only a 13 then. But now he's 15.
Luke put his bow around him and pulled out sting. It glowed a fierce yellow all around it. "Come get us!" yelled Annabeth. Luke started to calculate strategic moves against Clarisse. If we corner her she'll be like an angry bull. If we charge her, were toast. Just as Clarisse almost sliced them Luke thought his new move could help him. Annabeth charged, assuming she had a plan, Luke backed her up and charged to. Clarisse laughed "Like charging would help!" She yelled and put her shield up. Annabeth had no time to react, she ran into the shield. Annabeth fell unconscious. "No!" Luke yelled and ran towards a tree across the creek. "Run you little coward!" Clarisse said running after him.
This better work Luke hoped. He ran up the tree with Clarisse a few feet behind him and he jumped. Luke spind in the air and kicked Clarisse's sword out of her hand and landed behind her.
Luke pointed his sword at Clarisse's neck. She dropped her shield and got on her knees. "You gre" before she could finish the sentence Luke knocked her out with the hilt of his sword. "1 for Luke, 0 for Clarisse." Luke mocked her. After tying her to a tree he ran to Annabeth and helped her up. She was fine she just looked a little bruised up. "Thanks." Annabeth hugged Luke and got ready to go. Luke grabbed the flag and ran for their territory.
