Nikki:
Today was an exciting day for no other reason than the capture the flag game that would take place that night. Granted capture the flag was played often enough at Camp Half-Blood that to most people it was something to do, but not for Nikki. She loved everything about capture the flag. The adrenaline rush, the thrill of competition, and the stakes.
There was almost no consequence for losing. Not like back in her old life where losing a fight meant severe bodily harm. Back in her old neighborhood you had to win, and because there was such a need to win no strategy was too pathetic. Whatever you need to do to survive. No referee calling low blows.
The horn sounded and I raced across the line. My squad and I were supposed to lead an attack against the Ares team's right flank. I was running near the middle of the pack on our left flank. If we met resistance from the front I was in in a perfect position to press barrel through them and continue on to get the flag. If it was an ambush however we would be surrounded but the Ares team didn't have sufficient force to commit to capture all of us so I would be in a position to escape and continue on toward the flag probably meeting up with another of our squads sent on the capture mission.
But the Ares cabin wasn't subtle enough to set a trap even though our team had at least a dozen to tie up there forces long enough for our capture team to retrieve the flag. So I was not surprised when a band of Ares foot soldiers launched a head on attack. As expected I was able to force my was through by ducking behind my shield and sprinting full speed through the enemy causing confusion and forcing them out of position while breaking through and sprinting toward where their flag would undoubtedly be.
As expected the flag was in the open clearing with on top of a boulder. The terrain made the position easy to defend but it was extremely predictable the guards were already distracted by two members of the other capture squad. So I began my assent to the flag.
One of the guards noticed me, but it was too late. I had made even ground with him so now we were on an even playing field while he was distracted by my team mate swinging at his heels. Needless to say he was quickly put on his butt and after that it was only a moment before he and his buddy were made our prisoners.
While my team mates secured the prisoners I took a moment to stand over them victoriously, grinning wickedly. Then I turned toward the flag and strode toward it. There was no more time to waste. This game was over and it would be my victory and my glory.
I reached out and grasped the blood red banner, and the conch immediately sounded. That wasn't right. The flag was supposed to be across the borders before the game ended. But that could only mean that we hadn't won. Somehow an enemy made it past all our traps and guards and back across the border in almost half the time it would have taken us.
That should have been impossible. Who could possibly have done that? Me and my ally's raced back to the border just in time to see black metal plate armor melt in to the back of the new Chinese camper who hadn't yet been claimed. Except now he had been claimed. A silver owl soared around his head.
Then I noticed my finger nails were digging in to the palm of my hand. Who was this kid who, after only a short while at camp, could march strait through the best laid plans of the Athena team in half the time it took me to capture the Ares flag. As Chiron made his usual claiming announcement I looked around at some of my teammates struggling to kneel because of bruises and injuries, and all I could think was how.
Then I looked back at him. His eyes drifted over to me and I seethed with a more violent rage. His eye's simply looked unto me utterly dispassionate. He didn't even care! I could see in his dark swirling eyes this was nothing to him! All he could do was stand and analyze everyone and everything around him.
When the kneeling had ended I stood up and stormed off. There was one thought that kept making me angrier and angrier. Next time there was a capture the flag game he wouldn't be on the Hermes team. He would be on the Athena team, my team, and I wouldn't get the chance to beat him.
