Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Capture The Flag
Lucian found everyone in the general location with their Blue and Red helmets on. They were all warming up for capture the flag. "Heros! Warriors! Fall in!!" Chiron called getting everyone to form two groups, the Blue team and the red team. I join the red team since that was my helmets colour. I see Annabeth was at the front of the group, so I decide to stand next to her. When she saw me she smiled and asked how I was feeling. I just told her I was fine then played attention to Chiron who was introducing Percy.
"This, is Percy Jackson!" Chirons announcement caused murmurs to resonate throughout the group. "And he's gonna need a team!" I saw that there were kids making fun of Percy. "Well take him." A blonde kid who was quite handsome said, walking to the front of the group. "I'm Luke, son of Hermes and camp leader. Not necessarily in that order...where's your helmet?"
Percy looked around. "Nobody gave me one." Luke chuckled. "Um, Chiron? You still got your wheel chair? Kids gonna need it...your a goner man." Percy looked confused and worried. "I'm messing with you. Smile a little bit, it's good for you kid." Luke faced the group. "Anyone got an extra helmet?! Please pass it up!" Luke grabbed a helmet from the blue team and handed it to Percy. "Try it on, from all of us. Welcome to the blue soilders my friend." Luke extended a handshake who Percy returned.
"Alright! Everyone in position for capture the flag! First team to capture the enemy flag, wins. Dismissed!" Chiron have out orders as the representative teams went to their flags. "So what's your strategy?" I asked Annabeth. "I'll protect the flag since someone has to." She said.
"Is that not part of your strategy?" She laughed at what I said. "Everything is a part of my strategy. After all, when your mother is the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare things like this come easy." I freeze in place. Her mother is Athena? The women who cursed my mother?...Stop it Lucian. Annabeth has nothing to do with that, it was her mother. Never blame those for what others did. "You okay?" Annabeth saw that I froze the moment she mentioned who her mother was. Does he not like my mother? She could see the small traces of anger and hatred that were on his face before they disappeared the next second.
"I'm fine!" Lucian smiled and put on his helmet. "Im trusting you to protect our flag, you can trust me I'll get theres." Lucian held out a fist bump to Annabeth. Lucian saw a few kids do this on the camp and assumed it's something you do with those you trust, and although he has not known her long he still trusted her. Annabeth smiled and punched his fist hard. "You better!" She said and ran off to get in position. Lucian smiled as he waited for the call to charge.
They were all waiting in silence and anticipation for the order. There was only silence throughout the woods, other than the sounds of bugs here and there. "READY!...STEADY!...NOW!" The one leading the red team gave his order causing the whole group to roar and charge into the woods. I followed along but separated to the left. I saw where the red team was coming from, and if they charged from where their flag was, then that's where it should be. Pretty soon both teams clashed, both teams swung their swords and bashed their shields. I ran passed the battle field as fast as I could and swung my sword at anyone who blocked my path, I'm making a b-line straight to their flag.
I ran as fast as I could and soon came to a small hill made of rocks. It was around 9 ft tall and one needed to climb it to get to the top. On top was the blue flag waiving in the wind, but before I could start to climb I was attacked from the air. Three people jumped from the top of the tree's and swung their swords at me at the same time. I quickly bring my sword up and meet all three of their attacks. I blocked their attack and push them off of me making them take a few steps back.
The three guys look at me surprised that their attack failed and looked at each other, signaling for plan B. I twirled my sword as I eyed the three men circling around me. "Cant we just make this easier for the four of us and just hand me the flag?" The three instantly swing their swords at the same time. "Guess that's a no then." I get down on the ground and extend my leg while spinning, sweeping their feet and making them fall on their backs.
Two of them instantly use the momentum and role back to their feet but the other one failed to do so. I instantly take advantage and kick his face, knocking him out in the process. The other two chose to waste no time as they quickly make a new strategy. One of them drops their sword and chooses to sacrifice himself by doing a tackling motion and holding onto my legs. He was making sure I don't escape, while the other one raised his sword high up and brought it down slicing the air. Shit!
I meet my sword with his, but this guy holding onto me is making it hard to defend. I start to use my free hand to elbow his back, and although he was clearly in pain he was still not letting go. Fine then, lets see how long you can last. I put the guy in a choke hold with my right arm while my left arm was keeping the sword from meeting my face.
The poor guy holding onto me started to have trouble breathing as his grip on me lessened. Soon his arms went limp and fell to the ground. I quickly use this opportunity to spartan kick the guy with the sword on the chest sending him flying. He gets up as fast as he could and charges at me like the last guy but I quickly spin around and high kick him in the face, making him pass out.
"I told you it would be easier if you just gave me the flag." I climb the rock mountain and quickly pick up the flag, and as soon as I did a horn was sounded off. Chiron was a few ways off with a horn in his hand, signaling the end of the battle. "Good job Lucian, I saw the whole thing!" I wipe the sweat from my forehead. "Then you saw how I almost got my ass handed to me?" Chiron nods. "Yes, but it was 3 vs. 1"
Pretty soon everyone makes there way to where we were at, and I saw Percy had his shirt ripped up in different places but was not bleeding. "Lucian did you get the flag? I was about to capture yours!"
"Haha, too late Percy!" The red team start to cheer madly for their victory. Annabeth comes up to me and punches my arm. "Oww! What was that for?!" Annabeth laughs. "You kept your word!" I role my eyes. "Of course I did, but if it means I get punched everytime then I dont want to keep it." Everyone laughs as the red team enjoys their victory.
