Hi ppl! I have been forced to face the fact that my summary sux like hell. cuz it does… but I cant rite summaries, I end up giving away the hole story… im gonna try and work on it but seriously i dunno if I can. sooooooo this is kinda cheap but If any one has any suggestions then TELL ME and ill use it for the summery. and by suggestions I mean if u cud rite me a summary it wud rock. I don't care if its cheating ok! I might just change it a bit so it has a bit of the rest of the story in it. also there were like 3 people who want me to get rid of these little notey things at the beginning but like… I cant. sryyy. I never did fan fics before cuz I feel weird riting for someone I cant see so this sorta substitutes for that, and reviews, but I get it if the notey things don't do anything but annoy u to death so then just don't read them then!

The conch horn blew, echoing throughout the entire camp, but it didn't need to be that loud for every one to hear it, because that was what every single camper was straining their ears to hear. It was time for capture the flag.

"Wait, so what team are we in again?" Asked Ingrid

"For the fiftieth time BLUE and our leaders are going to be Percy and Thalia" answered Travis… again.

"Who's Thalia?"

"Oh my gods Ingrid, I told you that MORE than fifty times, I'm starting to think you're just asking to annoy me"

"Took you long enough"

"I'm going to kill you"

Ingrid waggled her finger at him "uh uh uh Travis, you just told me fifty times that it was automatic disqualification if you deliberately maimed a player"

"So you were listening"

Ingrid rolled her eyes "didn't we just establish that?"

"Blue team! Follow me!" Yelled a dark haired girl. Ingrid guessed it was Thalia.

She joined the crowd as they went to hide their flag in Zeus's fist.

Everyone was standing in a line in front of the flag with Thalia and Percy briefing them.

"Ok, so Beckendorf, Travis and Connor, you're on guard duty, Take Ingrid and Nico with you make sure you—"said Percy, or tried to say

"We'll send out a decoy to the left," Thalia interrupted "Silena, you lead that"

"Got it"

"Take Laurel and Jason. They're good runners. Make a wide arc around the Hunters, attract as many as you can. I'll take the main raiding party around to the right and catch them by surprise."

"Jeez she's bossy" muttered Ingrid to Connor

"This'll cheer you up, look who came to watch the game!" he whispered back

Ingrid glanced over to the side lines where Orlando was sitting with Grover and gave a small wave.

"Anything to add Percy?"

"Um, yeah. Keep sharp on defense. We got five guards, two scouts. That's not much for a big forest. I'll be roving. Yell if you need help."

"And don't leave your post!" Thalia said

"Unless you see a golden opportunity" Percy added

Thalia scowled. "Just don't leave your post."

"Right, unless—"

"Percy!" Thalia poked Percy in the arm and Ingrid could see a faint electric current shocking him. It probably felt a bit like static… but worse.

"Ouch!"

"Sorry"

Ingrid smiled. "Yeah right"

The horn sounded and they broke up into smaller groups, soon no one was left at the base but Percy, Ingrid, Travis and Connor, Nico, and this big dark kid from Hephaestus called Beckendorf. Percy climbed Zeus's fist. His expression turned form bored to excitement.

"What's happening?" Nico asked.

"Can you guys hold the fort?" Percy asked Beckendorf.

"Of course"

"I'm going in."

They all cheered as Percy ran past and disappeared into the woods.

"Now what?"

Nico shrugged "I wonder how many hit points Percy would have… the hunters would probably have about 300 or something cause' Artemis has 600 but she's a goddess…" he mused

Ingrid groaned and buried her head in her arms. "Wake me up when it's over"

Suddenly there was a burst of footsteps and Ingrid jerked up and found herself facing an arrow point.

"Um… Ingrid? I think it's over …"

Then the craziest thing happened Nico looked up and recognized his captor as Zoë, girl who recruited his sister. All of a sudden there was a down right murderous look on his face. He reached up and kicked the arrow out of her hand. Zoë was to shocked to react and before she knew it Nico, the little geek who was obsessed with figurine fighting, was giving the lieutendent huntress of Artemis a wedgie.

"Take that you stupid—sister – stealing—salsa head!"

The weird insult kind of woke them up a bit.

"The flag! GET THE FLAG!!" Yelled Zoë

Ingrid's captor abandoned her bow and ran towards Zeus's fist. Ingrid, coming to her senses grabbed the bow and started shooting at her, aiming at the kinks of her armor. It was a lot harder to shoot such a small area on a moving target; she could never seem to get it quite right. The hunters hand was reaching for the flag, Ingrid had one arrow left, she knocked her arrow, the hunter touched the flag, Ingrid let the arrow fly and at the same time the hunter grabbed the flag. Ingrid's arrow hit the hunter's leg, hard. The Hunter dropped the flag and clutched her leg. Travis bolted to catch it but he was to slow and Zoë got there first. She grabbed it and bolted towards the stream, Connor and Beckendoft in pursuit, and a big hunter girl firing arrows at them. Ingrid decided to join the action as well and started to run. She was right behind Beckendorf now, her blood was pumping, she couldn't think of anything else but that flag. She out of the corner of her eye, she saw a pink glow above her, but she ignored it, it wasn't important to her. Apparently it was to Travis. His eyes widened and he pointed above her head.

"Oh my GODS"
Connor turned around to see what the commotion was all about, and got two arrows sticking out of his helmet like antennae. Beckendorf and Zoe just managed a quick look over their shoulder. Zoe's eyes widened and gave Ingrid a disappointed yet cold look, like a teacher who just found out her star student had just robbed a bank. It was quick and she ran like a gazelle, across the stream. Ingrid looked around. Orlando looked really confused and Travis and Connor stared at her as if she was a stranger. She looked above her head and saw a large red heart above her head. It seemed to laminate the grove, tinting everything pink. The faint smell of roses lingered in the air, making her feel dizzy. She tried to swat it away but it was made of mist and her hand passed right through it.

"What is this, what happening?"

Chiron emerged from the forest. "My child you have been claimed for Aphrodite. All of you, follow me."

Ingrids knees went weak. No, no this is not happening; it can't be, how, no no no…

She covered her face with her hands, and felt a warm hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Orlando.?"

"Come on" and basically forced her to follow Chiron. They arrived in front of the stream.

"The Hunters win!" announced Chiron, then added in an undertone "For the fifty sixth time in a row"

"Percy Jackson! Yelled Thalia, storming towards Percy. "What in the name of the gods were you THINKING?"

"I got the flag Thalia!" he waved it in her face "I saw a chance and I took it!"

"I WAS AT THEIR BASE! But the flag was gone." Said Thalia furiously. "If you hadn't butted in we would have won."

"you had to many on you!"

"Oh, so now it's my fault?"

"I didn't say that"

"Argh!" Thalia pushed him and he flew into the stream. She turned pale "Sorry! I didn't mean to—"

A giant wave erupted from the steam, blasting into Thalia's face.
"Yeah, I didn't mean to, either" replied Percy.

"Enough!" Chiron ordered.

Thalia held out her spear " you want some seaweed brain?"

"Bring it on pinecone face"

Thalia yelled and a blast of lightning came down from the sky, hit her spear and slammed into Percy. The entire creek rose, Percy looked ready to hurl it all at Thalia when all of a sudden it all fell. Thalia turned around and looked. Ingrid saw a lone figure, thin and wrapped head to toe in bandages, green mist spiraling around it. It was walking towards them. Everyone else seem to know what it was. A horrible voice hissed inside her head. I am the spirit of Delphi, it said speaker of the prophecies of Phoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty Python. It turned around, it might have been her imangination, but Ingrid saw its empty eyes regarding her, as if to say 'you're next' before turning to Zoe Nightshade. Approach seeker and ask.

Orlando's had fell from her shoulder and without hesitation Ingrid turn and ran towards the cabins. No one noticed. But then of course, no one ever did.
