Okay everyone, I know I haven't updated in forever! But I had writers block :-( The good news is... I don't anymore :-) Okay, this is how it's gonna work. I'm going to set each new chapter up with the combatants vs. each other. Next time will either be Alice vs. Percy, or Jacob vs. Grover.
ANPOV
Carlisle ran up to us before we could leave. "To make it fair, we're giving you thirty minutes to hide. Also, my players will have three red pieces of fabric on them, one on their back, front torso, and head. If all the fabric is ripped, their out of the game. SO with that you may begin." he finished, and left.
I quickly placed my invisibility cap on and we all split up. I ran as fast as I could, and then I saw it. It was the best place to hide, ever! I quickly made a sharp turn and ran away from my hiding place, attempting to create a path not even the devil him self could follow (Sorry, I love The Most Dangerous Game!!! P.S. If you've read it, you'll know the hiding place ;-) After going around the circle I made a few times to set in the scent and make a few... obstacles, I dove into a creek hopefully masking my scent a little. I then made way back to my base.

We took off, following their scent easily. We decided quickly that I would go after Annabeth because she could obviously outsmart Jacob, and Alice was in the process getting stumped by Annabeth, changing their plan so much Alice's gift would be useless. Alice said that she would get Percy because Percy could easily drown Jacob, but vampires didn't need to breath, so that was settled. As I was running I began to smell Annabeth, but it was very faint. I began following it, and as soon as I stepped over a root a trap triggered. I saw out of my peripherals, a vine with pieces of shredded can along it coming strait at me. I ducked, it barely missing my head fabric. I stood up, examining the vine. It was the "Bamboo Whip", made common during the Vietnam war, except adapted to a young sapling. I knew, from there on out, Annabeth was not to be underestimated.
ANPOV
I set my binoculars down and thought, YES! My first trap went perfectly. Now he will turn around and go the other way, thinking he'll see the traps from the opposite way their supposed to trigger as he goes around the circle. But it was the only trap in that direction. He would be too far to hear my mind on the path I set up, and I would see it all.
EDPOV
After the fifth trap in thirty seconds, I thought I was going to go crazy! This had been going on for at least two hours. I probably looked like a kangaroo trying to dodge everything. After I landed from dodging a homemade spear being lunged at me from the side, a barrage of rusty nails shot up, whooshing by my face. That's when I heard Emmet boom "GAAAAAAAMEEEEEE OVEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR!" I stopped and thought thank god, but who won? And I never found Annabeth. I looked up and saw about a mile away, up in a tree, Annabeth taking a cap off, and putting binoculars in her bag, with a blank look on her face. She skillfully made her way down and headed back to the house. I followed slowly in defeat.
Yay! I can't wait to write the next chapter!
