HOLA! Yes i do know spanish! haha chapter 3 of Capture the Flag is up! this is where it gets kinda awkward between annabeth and percy. Percy POV. i do not own PJO

Ahh, another day in the woods. The sound of swords clashing, war cries, and of course, the occasional thump of someone falling to the floor, bleeding, followed by a high pitched scream. Yup, life is good.

I was behind my team, hiding behind trees and bushes. I watched my team fight like there was no tomorrow. Grover with his two hooves galloping and kicking any one he sees along with a sword which he swings as if it were the easiest thing in the world. I felt my pocket to see if Riptide was there: It was.

I looked at the war zone, looking for Annabeth. Where could she be? Hiding behind trees? I started to get scared. Is she on the floor bleeding to death? I look everywhere on the ground, but she was no where to be seen. That's when I heard someone calling my name.

"Percy! What are you doing? GO!" Grover yells as he takes on one of the Ares kids.

I nod my head and start running to…where exactly? I keep running waiting to see the bright red somewhere. I come across a small river, (A/N: or large stream?) and find the flag, waving all its glory. I look around, no one seems to be around…I carefully walk toward the flag, and am so close to touch it when I see the glint of metal in the trees behind me. I open up Riptide and turn around to see the girl I was looking for the battlefield: Annabeth.

"Hi Percy," she says, smiling. I am about to say something when her sword comes straight toward me. I quickly bring up my shield and block it, while at the same time slashing riptide in front of her. She jumps back and looks at me.

"Feels weird to be fighting each other, right?" she says.

I don't hear the question because I was looking at her. Her blond hair was matted with sweat on the front and the rest was in a ponytail, lightly swaying in the wind. The sun was shining only on her, which made her gray eyes sparkle like silver. 'Whoa. She looks really pretty.' I say in my head, and then I'm snapped out of my reverie.

"What did I just say?" I say, not noticing that I said it out loud.

"Umm…you didn't say anything…" Annabeth said, a worried and confused look on her face.

I blush with embarrassment, and to hide it I move my sword in a wide arc, making her backup.I was expecting her to fight back but when I looked at her face and I saw her staring at me.

"Um... Annabeth? Is everything okay?" I say putting my sword down and walking toward her.

She snaps out of her trance and puts her sword up to defend herself. "Yeah, I-I'm fine."

And with that she brought the sword down on my shoulder ripping the armor. I quickly jabbed my sword at her, making her leap backwards until I reached the flag. I grabbed the flag and tried to get away, but Annabeth step right in front of me. I looked down at her, as I was a little bit taller than her. She was looking back up at me with a furious look.

"No one takes my team flag." She whispered, dangerously.

I, being the dumb one, retorted back, "Well, its funny how I, player from the blue team, has your flag."

After that, I didn't know what happened, one minute we were clashing our swords together and the next thing you know we both fell on top of each other, Annabeth ending up on top of me.

I looked up at her. Her hair was coming loose of her ponytail and her cheeks were tinted with red. Her eyes showed something I never saw before. Was it…fear? As I wondered this, I heard the horn blow and realized the game was over, and that Clarisse, on Annabeth's team, was standing with the blue flag, watching us.

Annabeth quickly got off of me, and helped me up. Annabeth's hands were sweaty but that could have been because of the shook hands on the victory. She wouldn't look up at my eyes, and as soon as I let go of her hand she ran away into the forest. I couldn't help but notice a tear roll down her cheek as she ran off.

uh oh...what happened to Annabeth and how much did Clarisse see? review review!
