Im beginning to like Maya
Chapter 10
Lachlan pushed down the tip of the girls sword so that it wasn't on his chest. "Hey look. You didn't have to put the sword on my chest you know. That tip actually hurt."
The girl scowled underneath her helmet. She pulled it off and let it fall to the ground. He brown-blond hair swept down over her shoulders. On her face were a splash of freckles that made her look cute even if she had just had a sword pointed at his chest. She studied Lachlan with her sharp, blue eyes.
"You don't seem frightened," the girl said.
"Yeah, well yesterday I found out that my dad was Zeus. The most powerful God. I try not to be frightened now."
The girl tried to hide a smile. Her face hardened and she levelled her sword against Lachlan's chest. Lachlan thought that the girl was hot. Maybe even hotter than Eliza was. He made a mental note not to say that to Eliza.
The girl pressed her sword even harder against Lachlan's chest. "I'll ask again. Give me that flag."
Lachlan huffed. "You take the game way to seriously." He moved his hand with the flag in it closer to the girl and she lowered her sword. That was her mistake.
In one swift move, Lachlan did a backflip and in midair, he pulled his bronze rod off his back and thought of a sword. He swung his sword and knocked the girl off her feet. She landed with a splash in the creek.
Lachlan took the flag from her hands so he had both of them. "Didn't catch a name."
"Maya," the girl groaned.
"Maya. I like that name." Lachlan stepped over her and walked over to his territory. His team erupted in cheers.
They lifted Lachlan up onto their shoulders and carried him back to the cabins. Chiron rode up behind them. "And now, time for celebrations," Chiron shouted.
