Hey guys=) thanks for all the reviews so far. Anyways I finished typing the story up so expect 2-3 chapters uploaded each times. This was my second favorite chapter I came up with and it was all because of the history class…the idea from it that is. Anyways hope you enjoy and Review!
I slipped into my armor, fitting closely with the outline of my muscles. My straight hair was pulled back in a French braid that stretched down my back. I slipped my helmet on, the red top running down my spine. I looked over at Travis and Connor, the two co-captains for this game. I could hear them arguing over who goes on offense and who goes on defense. I sighed and climbed up the closest tree. Without effort I made it above the lower branches. I crouched on the branch, waiting for the game to begin.
With a battle cry coming from Charlie, our split offense charged across the creek. I looked out and started moving across the branch. I continued until I reached the thinnest part of it. The gap between the tree in front and the tree I was in was at least five yards. With a smile growing across my face I strapped my bow across my shoulders. Stepping back a little bit, I sprinted forward and jumped off my branch. My body cut through the air like the arrows that soar off my bow. My hands stretched out and grasped the next branch. I pulled myself up and continued tree hopping until I was deep within the Hunters territory. Below was a small Huntress guarding the flag. Its silver cloth matched the color of all the Huntresses armor. I grabbed my bow and pulled an arrow out of the quiver. I pulled back the drawstring and aimed for the top of her left shoulder. I silently let go, sending the arrow to attack. Within seconds the arrow embedded itself within the armor, scaring the Huntress. Her head did a double take when she couldn't find her attacker. Out of pure fear, she ran off in search of Thalia.
In the absence of the guard I dropped down ad landed in front of the banner. I survived the area, making sure I wouldn't be ambushed. With the coast clear I lifted up the banner from its holding place. I dropped in a flat sprint, praying that no one would find me. The closer I got the border the sound of arrows being drawn filled the air. Within sight was a grouping of shields, arrows bolted into the plating. The creek was eighteen yards away from me and I refused to lose to the stupid girls. I pushed harder and took off my helmet. Foot steps began sounding behind me, finally a chaser. As each second passed more and more people figured out what was happening.
"Hurry Mikayla!" Charlie cried from behind his shield.
"Haley you let her get the flag?" Thalia screamed in anger.
"Almost home! Don't stop!" Travis yelled as he stood waiting for me. I was at the edge of the creek and I leapt over the water. Arrows whizzed past my head in the final attempt to stop me. With a thud, I landed next to Travis, banner gripped tightly in my hand. I looked at the cloth, the color transforming from silver to red. I stood up, dusting myself. Travis stared at me completely in awe. "Mikayla! That was amazing!" he exclaimed as he hugged me tightly. Chiron rode up from the sideline, a wicked smile across his face.
"Camp Half-Blood wins!" he shouted with power booming in his voice. From across the creek the Huntresses slumped in their armor, completely confused on how they hand been beaten. With a smile on my face, I walked back to camp.
~Artemis~
From above the creek a falcon sat on a tree, observing everything that had occurred during the game. The falcon opened her wings and transformed back to the Goddess of the Hunter.
"You really are my daughter…" she whispered as her gaze was locked on Mikayla
