"Alright campers, let the game of capture the flag begin." With that we ran into the woods. From the corner of my eye I saw that Willow started veering off with the other team. I was about to yell at her but Jasper stopped me.

"She is not in the same team as us" he talked to me as we ran.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5gy0k4wEa
"But? I thought-"Jasper stop me mid-sentence.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9b8wNdbvJ
"The Hecate cabin had to return a favor," he explained.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSzqkR2ET4
"Oh" I was disappointed.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwr1Dyc2bL
"Don't worry," he reassured, "It's just for this game" after that he briefed me on the teams. Our team, team red, has Posiedon, Hades, Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, Persephone, Athena, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hephaestus, Ares, Nemesis, Dike, Hera, Bendis, the Muses, and Heracles. Posiedon, Hades, Zeus, Persephone, Hera, and Artemis did not have children, so our team was much smaller than the blue team. We stopped a little bit after we ran to hide the flag.

"Okay, since I'm the team leader, '' Jasper announced, " um, Mason and some Ares kids, I…um… go guard the flag. Oh and some Athena, Hephaestus, Hermes kids go work together to make traps or whatever…" They nodded their heads and started working. Except Mason, he looked like he wanted to protest but decided to go with it, "Dike kids, just judge or again whatever. Evelyn and you…Bendis's kid" He started pointing at this hunter looking kid.

"I have a name you know" he protested, "it's Evan"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J1iuuRxaX
"Well okay Evan" Jasper didn't seem to care, “ and…um… maybe a Dike kid? Um Alethea.”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LIUTMhiGP
"Yes?"She responded.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUTZFX1HmR
"Go with them to scout," Jasper ordered.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc3rlSDrcR
"Yeah. Whatever" Alethea rolled her eyes as she said that. Me and Evan stared at her for a while, "Well you heard him. Let's go" With that she started to run to the otherside. Both Evan and I looked at each other, shrugged and went after her.

As we ran I thought I could hear Angie calling me, but I shook it off. We were checking underneath rocks and trucks. And snuck past the people who were guarding the river. Which wasn't that hard. But we couldn't see where their flag was. Which made me suspicious of their team. I also didn't know where I was. It was just a forest.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlddR8drqma
"Hey guys, come over here. I think I see something" Evan said.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2WcuMqQqk
Alethea sigh, "Don't get so excited"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQh9sXCQLL
I started to walk over to where Evan was, but suddenly I hear laughter. Alethea and Evan don't seem to hear it.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUzNi7J0R6
"It's just animal fur!!" Alethea screams.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4nnBsMztZ
"It.. it was red" Evan kinda shouted back.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqPyDKkuic
"Ughhhh" Alethea said as she hit her head back and forth to a tree.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoOuhcdOHK
I heard laughter again. I can't help but to think it was Angie. Ever since I can remember Angie has always been with me. But other people can't see her.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSHAk5I7VP
"Willow is just Northwest of you" Now that was Angie's voice.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjDN9s7tbE
"Hey, guys?"I started to talk.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrsPmo5mkk
"What?"They both said sarcastically.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3MxadW0mi
"I think I hear someone talking just Northwest of us.”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyDKDOdBLI
"Really?" Evan asked.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96skV4Wjsc
"Well," Alethea said, "I can tell she's not lying. She has good character."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdfO0vqYHd
"Um, thank you" I mumble. We turned around and started running Northwest. And sure enough we heard voices.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFQ03XOWUL
“No, it’s just that in elementary school during recess, I liked to take off my shoes and every where I stepped that grass would be longer. You could see my footprints.” I can hear Willow saying.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqaAKXpfBv
"Elementary school is pretty early for your powers to kick in. Anyways I want you here, guarding the flag with me.” someone else was talking to her.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEawk34XTb
"Oh let's ambush them. Okay?" Evan whispers. We nodded at him and jumped out.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxc3kQFHr4
"Woah, way to barge in on an important conversation.”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ikVY4z68
"Evelyn, don't just stand there attack" Alethea yelled at me. The other girl who was talking to Willow threw seeds at me. I dodged them. They had to be for something bad. Which of course right in front of my eyes grew into thorny rose bushes. Then it hit me. I have no weapon.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBJE35JDY4
"Behind you" Angie whispers. The girl from before had a knife in her hands. She threw herself at me. I dodged again. I have no weapon, so I have to trick her somehow. I think Willow, Evan, and Alethea are fighting right now. I can't let them down. For right now everyone on the Blue team is my enemy. The girl decides to take one more hit on me. She had her back against their flag.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAEuJeN4DS
"Way to go!!!" I yell as loud as I can, "YOU GOT THEIR FLAG!!!" I yell, attempting to trick her. The girl suddenly stopped and turned around, having her back against me. Big mistake. With that I kicked her on the head. Which was apparently hard enough to knock her out. I smile to myself. That was easy. I looked over to Alethea and Evan. They have also knocked Willow out, but what was strange was the overgrown vines and trees that surrounded them. Weird, that wasn't there before.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iPXekajuF
I see Evan laughing.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxSzACrWYt
"That…" Alethea pauses, " That was amazing. I have never seen a first year do that"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoueU7uH31
I smile, "Thanks"
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zvP0ERlKS
"You're smart" Evan compliments me, still kinda laughing.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjb2l9h8Gq
"Well, you two stop gawking" Alethea scolds us,"Let's take their flag back to our side of the playing field,"
