Getting Bombed Athena-Style

Chapter written by @trustlovebelieve, edited by @JJWriterz.

It's been long since I've updated, no? Lol I was lazy, and plus, I was updating HMGA.  Enjoy! P.S. This is a fairly shorter chapter, but next up is the long-waited Jenny :D Yays! And yes, it will be written by @musicfantasy/Jenny, my good friend. :) P.P.S. I know, I am rambling on and on. Do you remember how "the world exploded around us" in the previous chapter by @trustlovebelieve? Well, you get to find out ;) Okay, now, back to the chapter.

----------------------------------------------

Rita

 All I care about is getting the flag. But the world explodes around me. Arrows shoot out of nowhere and my surroundings are suddenly a mist of green smoke after deafening explosions shake the ground. Boom, boom boom! What just happened? My mind panicks as I try to take in our situation. Then I realize...

  There are actually people hiding behind the bushes along the path. We were led to a trap. 

  Not missing a second of escape, I quickly dodge a zooming arrow, but it skims my ear. I can feel warm blood dripping down. 

  "Come on!" I shout to Isabelle, "We've got to get the flag!"

  As we run, my mind keeps whispering, trap, trap, trap, it was a trap. The Athena kids are one of the best strategists in Camp, so of course they would use mass defense that's extremely hard to pass through. And these kids firing at us must be the Hephaestus and Apollo kids. Who else can shoot so straight other than the Apollo kids and throw such dangerous explosives other than the Hephaestus kids?

  Behind me, I hear Isabelle swear about arrows. I pivot back to see her holding her thigh, which is starting to stain her jeans with blood. She grits her teeth and says, "Get the flag, Rita. Go! I block those goddamn arrows! Just go!" Her beautiful face does not show pain at all, and her blue eyes flashes dangerously. Isabelle is a brave person.

  A horrble smell is hanging the air, and I instantly know: It's a big stink bomb. I sprint down the field, not bothering to look behind me. I hear metal clanging with metal. Maybe Izzy is blocking the arrows with her whip, I don't know. But...no. No. The defenders are arranged in a zig-zag order! There are still more of them in front of me! 

  The arrows are zipping from both sides and  bombs are creating smoking craters, and their only target is: Me. I jump and dive to the ground as the arrows barely miss me. Suddenly, a bomb lands by my feet and I dive out of the way before another crater is formed, causing dirt and leaves to fly everywhere with a loud boom. I continue sprinting as fast I can, while some arrows skim my waist, shoulders and legs. The wounds are bleeding but I cannot feel the pain. Too much shock. 

  I get to the flag just as the smell hits me with full force. Man, did it stink! I grab the post and rush back, being assaulted with their weapons, again. But I no longer care, because I'm sprinting to my own side. To end this game. I grab Isabelle's arm on the way and whisper a "Thank you", although I still got impaled by lots of arrows, she was trying to help me. 

  I see someone in the distance carrying something red...that's our flag! And by the blue-and-red-streaked hair, it's Jessie! Wow, I'm carrying their flag and she's carrying our flag. I start to run faster and fast, not allowing her to win...I'm almost across the territory when my body slams into a wall. Wait, a wall?!

  I instantly get goosebumps all over my body. There's this invisible wall in the middle of the field, and it's ice-cold! Is Chiron playing a sick game on us? I'm lucky that my body slams into the wall, even though I think I popped my shoulders out of place,  because Jessie is not that lucky. I can see her touching her nose, moaning in pain. She got a bloody nose, and that hurts a lot. I grimace, imagining the agony it would have on me. 

  I sit down on the grass and I grit my teeth as I put my pand on my dislocated shoulder and pop in back in place. I let out a scream but quickly stop. 

  I stand up and touch the wall, sending another wave of goosebumps on my arm as my breath turns into mists on the glass. I wipe the mist off impatiently and shout out, "Jessie, Jessie can you hear me?" She blinks open her eyes and nods feebly in reponse. 

  There's fighting behind her, but it all sounds muffled. I use my good arm(the one I did not pop out of place), grab my sword and stab the wall with all my strength that I have left. Nothing happens. I stab it again. This time some dude pops out...oh by gosh! Isn't it Slender Man? Wait, what?! 

  I freak out and with a flick on my wrist, change my sword to my spear and stab him, but by the arm. I don't want to kill him. I'm not that nasty.

  But my spear passes through like Possible-Slender-Man is made of air.
