Percy's POV: I woke up to the sun streaming on my face. I yawned loudly as I got up to get ready to go outside. After brushing my teeth,taking a shower, and changing into a nice pair of clothes I went outside and to my surprise Annabeth was waiting there. I wasn't in the mood to talk so I shoved right passed her and went to the breakfast table. Yes! BBQ with blue coke. This day can't get any better. While I was munching on my BBQ which has an exquisite taste with some smokiness added to itm I noticed Annabeth looking at me hungrily like I'm looking at my BBQ. That's just creepy so awwkkkkkwarrrd!
After finishing the best stuff on Earth (see what I did there?) I decided to go talk to Chiron and ask him a question about Capture the Flag. I noticed him walking errr rolling? yeah rolling to the Big House but I stopped him while he was rolling away. "Hey Chiron what time are we playing Capture the Flag?" I asked. "Ahh Percy, my boy, we're playing that after the s'mores and campfire , we're singing songs around the campfire and I expect you to have a song ready. Well... shit I can't sing but I do have a song in mind. Everyone's going to be blowed by this song choice.
Anyway as I got out of the big house I saw Thalia with a huge smile on her face. " Hey Kelp-for-brains wanna battle?". "Sure Pinecone Face bring it on", I replied as we walked towards the training centre. I put on my armor because I could tell she improved since her last fight. She was literally sparking with confidence. No really she literally had sparks flying off her. I pulled out Riptide and we started circling each other in a merry-go-round style. She lunged first but I sidestepped and thrust my swords at her face, but she deflected it with her spear and shoved me back. I could smell electricity in the air and I looked up to be greeted by dark clouds forming above me. I only had one thing left to say to her, "Shit".
Thalia's POV: I whirled around and stabbed Malcolm with my spear. He went sprawling across the arena and faster than light I put my spear to his neck. He surrendered and I looked for my next victim. After looking at everyone carefully I noticed that Percy was standing at the top of the hill watching all of us with a smile on his face. "Hey Kelp-for-brains wanna battle?," I inquired. "Sure Pinecone Face bring it on" he responded. He took 5 minutes to put on some armor and during that time I used it to analyze him for weaknesses.
Last battle he seemed like he prefers offense over defense but he's decent at defense. In percentages he's 70% offense and 30 % defense. Don't get me wrong he's still good at defense it's just that he prefers offense. So if I can block one strike of his and then dumbfound him, I can use lightning (not full power just enough so he will surrender) and win the battle. My backup plan is that go full rage mode on him and hope that I get a lucky that fails then shit right? Right, I was knocked of of my analyzing time when Percy pulled out Riptide.
We started circling each other like a merry-go-round style until I made the first move. He sidestepped and thrust his sword towards my face. I blocked it with my spear and sent him sprawling towards the corner. I then concentrated and summoned some lightning to come down and fry him. I saw him look up and say "Shit". I grinned and unleashed the lightning. But Percy had a grin on his face as he summoned a pillar of water which directed my lightning strike towards the ground. He then put his sword towards my neck and said "Surrender Grace?". I was shocked but growled out "Yes now let me up you bastard".
He sheathed his sword and calmly walked out of the stadium with everyone watching in awe. I tackled him and whispered harshly in his ear "How did you do that?". He grinned and pushed me off him, and said "Follow me I'll tell you on the way". As we were walking towards his cabin, he told me how water can attract electricity, so he used that to his advantage. When the lightning struck, the water took the blow and I managed to sneak a metal wire to connect the lightning towards the ground. He told me how ground absorbs lightning (A/N just like pokemon!)and it'll look like nothing happened to the water as it fries up into water vapor. I stood there dumbfounded as he walked away towards his cabin.
Annabeth's POV: Whoa! Percy used logic to win a battle? I thought he was an idiot but very handsome indeed. He just showed me that he is a perfect person for anybody. I bet he would make Aphrodite want to bed him, and he just shrugged of his victory like it was nothing. I really have to talk to him, so I'll pick him for my team in Capture-the-flag and have a little talk with him.
What would you guys say if I ended it here?
Percy's POV: After using logic to beat Thals and telling her how I did it I went back to my cabin and decided to IM my dad about camp so far. Oh Fleecy do me a solid show me Poseidon at his underwater palace. The mist shimmered and I saw my dad bellowing out orders. "Dad what's up?" I asked curiously. "Oh nothing son just a normal day at the palace... by the way how's camp?" he responded answering my question."Oh it's great and I'll try to IM you later I have to get ready for the campfire see you dad" I once again responded before I slashed through the IM.
As I stepped outside I saw everyone at the campfire so I dreaded walking towards it since I'm going to sing about Thalia but no one will figure it out. "Percy, my boy, do you have a song ready?" Chiron fired at me as soon as I stepped foot onto the campfire spot. "Yes Chiron do you want me to start?". He answered by waving his hand in a go on fashion. I saw the campers giving me glances and bets on what I'm going to sing. I swallowed nervously and said "Hey guys I'll be singing Treasure by: Bruno Mars.
I heard applause and some people wondering who I'm singing it about. They won't know unless they ask Aphrodite themselves or they interrogate me.
Baby squirrel, you's a sexy motherfucker
Give me your, give me your, give me your attention, baby
I gotta tell you a little something about yourself
You're wonderful, flawless, ooh, you're a sexy lady
But you walk around here like you wanna be someone else
(Oh whoa-oh-oh)
I know that you don't know it, but you're fine, so fine (fine, so fine)
(Oh whoa-oh-oh)
Oh girl, I'm gonna show you when you're mine, oh mine (mine, oh mine)
Treasure, that is what you are
Honey, you're my golden star
You know you could make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you
If you let me treasure you
(Whoa-oh-oh-h-h-h)
Pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl, you should be smiling
A girl like you should never look so blue
You're everything I see in my dreams
I wouldn't say that to you if it wasn't true
(Oh whoa-oh-oh)
I know that you don't know it, but you're fine, so fine (fine, so fine)
(Oh whoa-oh-oh)
Oh girl, I'm gonna show you when you're mine, oh mine (mine, oh mine)
Treasure, that is what you are
Honey, you're my golden star
You know you could make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you
If you let me treasure you
(Whoa-oh-oh-h-h-h)
You are my treasure, you are my treasure
You are my treasure, yeah, you, you, you, you are
You are my treasure, you are my treasure
You are my treasure, yeah, you, you, you, you are
Treasure, that is what you are
Honey you're my golden star
You know you could make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you
If you let me treasure you
(whoa-oh-oh-h-h-h)
Percy's POV(continued): I finished the song and everyone exploded into applause. Many people were asking who it was but I refused to tell them. Next up was Austin from the Apollo Cabin and then soon half the camp finished singing their songs. I heard Chiron say " Those who didn't go today will go tomorrow" I heard many awwwws and many yes's. But soon everyone shut up and Chiron continued with his announcement.
He told us that we'll be doing Capture-the-Flag right now so he chose the Athena Cabin and Hermes Cabin to be team captains. The Athena's Cabin went first since the Hermes's cabin had way more people. I saw Annabeth looking for someone and I flinched when her gaze landed on me. I don't know why but I felt a sense of dread when she picked me to be on her team. Next up was the Zeus's Cabin which had only Thalia in it. We both exchanged glares and stared at each other intensely.
I heard everyone stifle giggles as we analyzed each for weaknesses. After thoroughly analyzing Thalia we looked to see who was on my team. I was happy to see that the Hephaetus Cabin was on our team, and also Apollo's Cabin. I wasn't to happy to see the Aphrodite Cabin with us but we got the traps and archery we should win. I brought everyone on my team and I discussed what was my plan and I was happy to see they accepted it.
Thalia's POV: Wow Percy's voice is unbelievable. I wonder who he was singing to, I hope it was me but I know it's probably Annabeth. She has perfect grey eyes, nice blonde hair, and is incredible smart. The thought makes me sad but I want Percy to be happy so I decided to let it go for now. I was shook out of my daydreams when I heard that the Hermes Cabin picked me to be on their team. I went over there and saw Percy staring at me for weaknesses. I stared back and didn't stop until it was time to begin.
I discussed the attack strategy and everyone seemed to accept it pretty quickly so I was happy at that. We took out places and set traps, placed archers at certain spots and then we waited for the horn to begin the fight. Several seconds later I heard the horn and the lake exploded into battle crys. My attack force charged forward and instanly hit many traps. I could tell this was going to be bad since Percy was playing defense on us.
Percy's POV: The lake exploded with battle cries but only my archers moved and the attack force stayed behind the fort. Instantly Thalia's attack force went down but we stayed put for a few more minutes before charging into battles ourselves. We split up with 7 swordsmen and 3 archers in each group. There were 5 groups and we split into 5 different ways. I stayed behind guarding the flag before I got tackled by someone.
I looked up and saw the face of Thalia Grace. I got up and dodged a strike from her. She made the first move and thrust her spear, which was crackling with electricity, at me and I narrowly dodged it. She kept up with her relentless attacks and I was forced onto defensive mode. She was grinning and she pushed me into the lake. She called down lightning but using my powers I summoned a hurricane and dodged it.
My hurricane blew down trees and destroyed the land. Thalia could only protect her eyes as land began to fly everywhere. I took her distraction as an advantage and dropped my hurricane. I charged up and knocked the base of her skull with Riptide's hilt. I lept up and got their flag and raced back to out side of the lake. Their red banners instanly changed to blue and we all celebrated. Suddenly darkness washed up on me and I was sliding to the ground unconcious.
