Elysia POV
I have Dolkzwaard - that means dagger/sword- in my pocket. I lay on my bed, inside of my cabin. I am hoping to finally get some privacy when I hear a knock at the door. I open it to see Allie, and this does not upset me.
"Can I come in?" she asks me.
I nod my head and open the door wider. We walk over to my bed and sit down.
"We are going to play capture the flag tonight," she says, "and Jake told me to tell you that we are on the blue team. We have about an hour until we meet him and the rest of the blue team after dinner." She smiles at me.
"OK," I say. We talk for a while until I hear another knock at the door. I sigh and get up to answer it, leaving the conversation. Allie walks beside me. I open the door to see Jake. Allie quickly leaves and I stare at her retreating figure.
"Can I come in?" asks Jake, scratching the back of his head.
"No," I start to shut the door, but a gust of wind blows it for me. Wow, being a child of Zeus is useful. I know the the impact of the door made Jake stumble back, so I have a few seconds before he comes back. When he does, I ignore it. But that doesn't last long. I finally give in and, from my bed, send a blow of wind to open the door. Jake crosses his arms and stares at me. He's so cute! NO! But maybe I can have a tiny crush. Doesn't mean anything.
"What?"
"Capture the flag starts in 50 minutes."
"You came all the way over here to tell me that?" I raise an eyebrow.
"Well, I need to tell you the plan. You could be of use- being the child of Zeus, and all."
"Oh yes. So you are going to use me for my powers. I see how it is." Jake sighs.
"Maybe I should join the red team. If you have Allie, that would be fair. Don't you think?" I ask him.
"Please," he says, "just cooperate for once."
"For once? Get out of my cabin."
"Elysia," Jake starts to say, but I summon wind to pick him up and carry him safely outside. Then I slam the doors shut and resume my rest. I pull out Dolkzwaard and start to examine it. Then, the doors fly open. Jake.
"Your part is to fly yourself above and over, then summon a storm to wipe out the guards, then snatch the flag and come back over. Can you do that?" he asks me.
I sigh, "Sure."
"Thank the gods!" Jake lets out a breath.
"Now, get out of my cabin."
"Alright, alright, calm down sweetheart" Jake backs out. Oh, pretty boy. I can't let him get away that easily after calling me sweetheart. If he wants to use that name, there will be consequences. I walk out of my cabin and make Jake fly high into the air. I sort of do a bungee jump with him, but there is no rope. He starts to laugh. I then summon a storm cloud and rain starts pouring onto him as he bungee jumps. I let him fall from about two feet up.
"That was fun," he tells me.
"Hahaha," I say.
PAGE BREAK
I wear my blue helmet, standing next to Jake. We just have to wait until the cue...
"GO!" shouts Chiron. I shoot straight up- going really high. I fly over to the other side and hover above the flag. An arrow whizzes past my side, and another nicks my ear. I have been spotted. I pull my dagger out and summon some electricity. I shoot the bolt strait out of my dagger. It hits the ground and blasts every guard off of there feet, unconscious. I land in front of the flag thinking it's my glory moment, when someone appears next to me. Red helmet. I click the button on the hilt of my dagger, and Dolkzwaard transforms into a sword. I need lighting. With my extra strength, I summon up a small storm. It is just enough to strengthen me. I swing at the warriors hilt, and the blade falls out of his hand. I kick it far away and slice the warriors arm, leg, anywhere available until he falls to the ground. I grab the flag and shoot straight up, almost as fast as lightning. When I reach the other side I come down and hold the flag up in victory. Cheers erupt all around me and I can see Jake smiling in the crowd.

I fly back to my cabin and instantly jump onto my bed. I am out the instant my head hits the pillow.
