Okay Capture the Flag is still going to happen but it's going to be different because Julia doesn't really control water as much as Percy does.
Dinner was interesting to say the least. We all sat down a different tables Percy sat with me while Grover was over at another table.
"Percy you can go sits with him if you want to, you don't have to sit here with me." I say watching my plate fill up with scrumcious food that I have not seen in a long time.
"Julia you sit according to who your godly parent is. So over there is Athena's children the super smart, Ares children the super violent, Aphrodite's children the super pretty and most are quite thick, Apollo's children good with bows and medicine, Hermes children thieves the lot of them and yeh you get the idea." He finishes once he pointed out the tables with the most on them.
"Ahh okay." I say getting it. I look back down at my delicious food I have assembled and start to dig in but Percy stops me.
"We give half of our meals to the gods as an offering." He said he stands and I follow him tipping half my food into the fire. I go sit back down sad that half my food has disappeared but I get over it once I dig into it for real this time.
"Settle down, settle down." Chiron calls and almost immediately everyone stops talking and turns, these guys must have had some serious training to be able to do that almost in sync. "As some of you may have notice, we have a new member to Camp Half-Blood Julia Tremton daughter of Poseidon." Throughout the tables murmurs and whispers were exchanged.
"Now if you have all finished your dinner I believe a game of Capture the Flag was organised for tonight, so get your colours and get to the woods!" Chiron finishes everyone gets up, the sound of chairs scraping the cobblestones is louder than the roar of a Cyclops.
I get up and look quizzically at Percy, "Capture the Flag is essentially capturing the oppositions flag before they get ours, we are teamed up with Athena, Apollo so if we win we trade shower times, activity times with the other cabins." He says walking to a table where a pretty girl from the Athena cabin was standing.
"Annabeth, this is Julia she needs some armour and a weapon could you…?" he trails off looking at her with big eyes clearly these guys are a couple.
"Yeh sure, come on Julia." She walks over to a smaller building kind of like a tool shed, she opens the door and pulls out some simple armour pieces. She puts it on for me telling me how to tie each piece and what its purpose is. When we have finished we make our way over to a tool shed this time and I follow her more cautiously she opens the door and we enter a room full of different weapons.
"Alright, girls commonly use light weight swords or a bow and arrow. So have a look around in that pile for something that fancies you." She finishes turning her head to the doorway looking out onto the forest.
I turn away and look through a pile of bows when I see something that catches my eye, a wooden stick I used one like this once against the Cyclops it did an alright job. I pick it up running my hand over the wood I press a button on the end of the handle golden spikes appear out of tiny holes in the wood making the weapon even more deadly. I look up at Annabeth who is studying me with an interested look.
"The metal coming out of the stick is imperial gold, that weapon has been in this tool shed for years, the weapon itself dates back to the civil war." She says.
"It's perfect for now, so what's next?" I say getting up and minimizing the wooden stick with another press of a button.
"Now we Capture the red Flag." She state simply turning and leaving the shed I follow her closely this time as we make our way to the closer side of the forest.
"Right Julia and Percy you both have to guard the river, use your abilities to control the water." Annabeth says, Percy nods and we move out.
"The first time I played this game I was positioned here as bait for Clarisse and her friends so I guess that's what you are now. Bait. I'll go hide behind those trees so you seem alone, so when they turn up I ambush them and you try not to get injured." He finishes turning around and running into the bushes behind me.
A horn in the distance sound's so it begins, I grab my stick and keep it minimised in my hand waiting for Clarisse and her bafoons to find me.
I see people from my own team run across the river and into enemy territory. Then I see movement of red, flickers through the bush so I know I'm being watched, and then they all step out of the bush.
"So, Percy's little sister has to make fun of our cabin too, this is defiantly unacceptable especially because she has no weapon on her except for a tiny wooden stick." She laughs and her friends copy.
I extend my stick and move into a battle stance. "So this is how is going to be ugly, then so be it." I say waiting for them to make the first move.
They all charge at once, I don't extend the spikes because I don't think Chiron would appreciate that so I just trip them over and knock them where it hurts. I remember my karate lessons from when I was a child so I begin to hit their pressure points in a matter of minutes I reduce them all to a moaning pile of human bodies.
I hear more rustling in the bush and I whip my stick around and Percy finds it at his throat.
"What kept you bro?" I smile taking the stick away from his neck.
"I was busy in the next clearing with a bunch of other reds but by the look of it you had more here and you took them all down. It's a first, I have never seen a newbie survive both the toilet dunk and the Capture the Flag ambush." He says smiling down at me.
"I noticed throughout the fight I couldn't get towards the river once, why was that?" I ask walking towards the river.
"Because in my first Capture the Flag I was revived by the water and also over the years Clarisse has learnt of my extraordinary ability with water so she must have thought you possessed the same ability." He says laughing and the sight of Clarisse.
From the other side of the river I hear bushes rustle and more reds appear running out I whip out my stick and Percy his sword and we work together, Percy distracting me hitting them in the points that knock them out instantly. Shortly after we have floored the entire group more bushes rustle this time it's a blue who is carrying a red flag. Percy whoops and runs towards them as the runner makes it over the river and the flag turns blue.
Annabeth emerges out of the bushes from red territory walking towards us, she pauses when she sees the amount of moaning reds laying on the ground behind her.
"Jeez seaweed brain, you were busy tonight weren't you." She says hugging him laying a kiss on his cheek.
"Nuh, that was all Julia and her wooden stick I just helped out a bit, there are more reds behind those bushes, I'm the one that got them." He says laughing as Annabeths eyes widen.
"I don't believe you. Julia to prove you did that would you be willing to fight me?" she asks grabbing out her sword.
"Annabeth, it would be a pleasure." I reply grabbing my stick and extending it.
Annabeth doesn't charge like the others did, she circles looking at me with calculating eyes, she lunges in swiping at me I duck and hit her in the back of her knee. She stumbles and I hit her in the stomach sending her backwards I follow her giving her time to regain her balance and I strike again jabbing her toes with my stick she feels the pain but keeps a straight face. I flip over her using my stick as a lever whilst she was distracted by the pain in her foot and I hit her softly between the shoulder blades. She falls flat on her face knocked out.
I rush forward and kick her sword just out of her each before I turn her over and jab my fingers into the side of her neck reviving her.
"What happened?" she asks sitting up.
"I hit you in the pressure point between you collarbones knocking you out, I then kicked your sword away before I revived you. And don't even think about drawing you knife because I'll just knock you out again." I finish seeing her hand stray towards her knife. I stand up and offer her a hand she takes it so I help her up. I walk over towards the reds gathered around Clarisse and her friends.
"What are you doing?" Annabeth asks but she already knows the answer. "Can you show me so I can help you?" is her next question. I nod and we walk over together. I jab one of Clarisse's friends in the neck waking them up. She sees it and does the same to another person and they wake up. We slowly make our way around the group leaving Clarisse to last. I jab her in the neck and she sits up right away and reaches for her sword I block her with my wooden stick which I just extended and I pull out her sword and point it at her.
"Right, you have to promise that you're not going to try to get me again and that you will stop dunking people heads in the toilets because I will find you and knock you out again. Got it!" I finish. She nods and I hand back her sword and I turn around and walk away.
"That was either the Bravest or Stupidest thing you have ever done." Annabeth comments as we go to catch up to Percy.
"Well hopefully I'm not going to regret it, and anyway battling a Cyclops with a baseball bat was the Stupidest thing I have ever done so that doesn't even come close." I smile and together we walk off to find where Percy has wondered to.
So there's the Capture the Flag chapter redone and I kinda like this way more than the other. It's got a lot more detail and heaps of cool action. Review and I'll love you all forever
