Sorry for the delay. I was kinda busy with school work and sports and reading and more homework. R&R

Didn't that Guy Die or Something?

Nico's pov

I sighed looking down at the armor covering everyone else except me.

'Why aren't you wearing armor?' said the voice of the most annoying person in the ENTIRE world. Besides Percy of course.

I turned around and saw Selena standing there in full greek armor, that looked a little bit too big.

'I don't really need to, It messes with me blending in with the shadows and other such things.'

She just raised an eyebrow at me. 'What!' I said, slightly agitated. Why did everyone have to look at me like that? Especially her? Wait, why do I care?

'Oh, nothing. Except, wouldn't you be able to blend in more if you looked like everyone else, and you wouldn't have to use your powers?' she replied as if it were the thing any normal person would say.

'I'm not wearing that... thing... if my life depended on it.' Selena just raised her hands in the air.

'Sorry, I was just saying.'

'Why do you even care?'

'Can't a girl be curious?'

'Curiosity killed the cat,' I replied.

'Actually,' she began, 'Stupidity killed the cat, but Curiosity got framed.'

'Really, I never knew that,'

'You don't know a lot of things.'

'Should I take offense to that?'

'What do you think?'

'BLUE TEAM,' yelled Percy at the top of his lungs.

Selena and I jumped back, only then realizing how close we had been. My face burned red and I turned away from her as fast as anyone could.

'Does everyone know their postions?' Annabeth said. Everyone in the Hermes, Athena, Demeter, Poseidon (Percy), and Hades (Me) Cabins nodded.

The conch horn blew letting everyone in the camp know that the game had started.

I ran around to the far edges of the forest, Selena tailing right behind me. We were going to the flag, around the back just in case Percy failed.

We edged our way across the river and past multiple trees. Bushes and greenery past us. We had been walking around fifteen minutes until we finally came to the Ares flag.

'Don't let Jackson get the flag!' I heard Clarisse yell. I nodded at Selena. This was our distraction. I looked and saw that it was almost sunset. I mentally cursed.

'It's now or never,' I whispered to Selena. She nodded and started moving forward. Soon, we were right behind the flag. We had around a minute and a half before the sun was half way down and I could shadow travel. We also had a minute and a half before the security around the flag tightened, waiting for me to come.

Selena snuck out from the layer of thick underbrush and slowly crept over to the flag. She was just about to grab it when someone on the other team yelled 'It's almost sunset, head back to secure the flag!'

Selena grabbed the flag and ran towards the trees as fast as she could. I was waiting for her and I shadow traveled us to the river.

'You run the long way, I'll make a distraction.' I told her. We had a rule at camp that I wasn't allowed to shadow travel across the river in Capture the Flag.

It was completely unfair and biased. I mean, I could only shadow travel once the sun went down.

I held a piece of ripped red fabric that Annabeth had given me. This was all her plan. I held it close to me and ran straight for the river, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Selena slowly making her way towards the river, the long way, but no one noticed. They were all to busy chasing me as I made a mad dash for the river. I was almost across the river when I was tackled by none other than Clarisse. All of the other Ares kids were there, but they were all just watching from the side.

'Give up the flag.' she said.

'Sorry,' I said. I held up the piece of red fabric. 'Don't have it.' All of the Ares kids turned around to see Selena crossing the river, the flag changing from red to silver with a staff with two snakes intertwined on it. The symbol of Hermes.

Suddenly, a sun was shown above Selena's head. I sighed. Of course she was an Apollo kid.

'Who's symbol is that?' asked Annabeth as she suddenly appeared next to me. I gave her a look.

Chiron walked over to Selena and bowed.

'Hail Selena Smith, daughter of Helios, driver of the chariot of the sun.'

I just stared. Helios. Didn't that guy die or something?

Hope you like it!
