The Unwanted Goddess

Capture The Flag

"How about we go to the camp?" Apollo said out of nowhere. I looked at him, wiping my tears away.

"You really want to see the camp, aren't you a busy God?" I said changing my attitude in a few seconds. 

He smiled and got up from the bench. I was about to get up but he gave me a hand, grabbed it, and together we teleported to the camp. 

We appeared in the middle of the camp and everyone was running around getting weapons and armor. I was so confused and it seems that I'm not the only one that was. I looked at Apollo and saw that he was confused too. I started walking heading to find Chiron, after a while we found him talking to a group of people. I smiled and made my way toward him.

"Chiron what's going on?" I asked. 

Once in front of him I noticed all the demigods, they were all from different cabins. I think there was a representative for each one of them here. 

"Hello goddess, we are getting ready for the capture the flag game," Chiron said casually. I looked at him weirdly.

"Then why are the campers getting weapons and armor then?" I said. All the campers were looking at me with a weird faces. 

"The way we play capture the flag is different from the way other people do it," Chiron said looking back at him. 

I nodded and made my way to my cabin. Apollo was following me behind like a stray doll. 

"Is this your first time here?" I asked him. I turned to look at him and he was just in awe, he just kept on looking at everything and everyone. 

"Yeah I have never stepped foot in the camp before," he told me. I turned at him and he was just staring at his cabin. he was even more surprised.

"All of your children are in that cabin," I told him. He turned his head at me in shock. 

The face he gave me was so funny, I instantly started laughing. 

"What are you laughing at?" His whole facial expression changed, it changed into a more mischievous expression.

"It's funny, you have a lot of kids. You should go say hello to them" I said looking at him.  

He looked so terrified, I looked at him and grabbed his shoulders, " Apollo you can do it, you have to at least say hi to them".

He smiled and had a determined look on his face, together we both turned around. That's when we noticed that the whole Apollo camp was standing in front of us. I was shocked because I didn't even notice that they were there. 

"Hello everyone, you all know who Apollo is," I said, trying to make up a conversation. They all turned their heads between Apollo and me. 

"Are you guys dating," one of Apollo's daughters blurred out? We both turned to beat red and just stayed silent. 

"No, we aren't dating," I told her. Apollo looked at me with a sad face. 

"Well I think I should go, you guys can call Apollo," I said walking away from him and his children. 

I made my way to my cabin and started getting changed, I have been in this Tunic all day long, and I don't want to wear it for any longer. After a few minutes of changing, I ended up in a loose crop top and some sweats. After I ended up finding out that it was already six-thirty pm. I smiled at myself and made my way outside. Once there I saw all the campers in a hurry. Every once in a while a camper would come and say Hello.

"Everyone it is time for Capture the Flag" the random speakers around the camp announced. 

I looked around and saw all the campers walking to the forest that was still in the barrier. I followed them and found a clearing and everyone was standing there waiting for something. I was looking around and saw that every camper had red and blue armor. Suddenly, Apollo appeared out of nowhere. 

"What's going on?" He asked me. I shrugged my shoulders looking at him. 

"No, I actually don't know what's going on," I said looking back at the campers. 

Suddenly, Chiron walked into the middle of the clearing, ready to talk to us. Everyone stayed quiet and was ready for him to talk. 

"Is everyone ready to capture the flag-" Chiron wasn't allowed to finish because everyone started cheering for the games to begin. 

"Today the two teams are split between the thirteen cabins. The first team, team red has Athena, Ares, Hephaestus, and Apollo cabin. The blue team has Hermes, Demeter, Aphrodite, and Dionysus" Chiron announced. 

I turned to Apollo and saw that he was so proud of all of his children. I smiled and looked back at Chiron he had come back with two flags, one red and the other blue. Out of nowhere Apollo tapped me on the shoulder.

"I should get going, I'm needed on Olympus," He said pulling me aside. 

"That sucks the game was about to begin," I told him.

"Do you want me to walk you out of the camp?" I asked him. He smiled and nodded happily. 

"Ok come on Apollo, I really want to watch the game" I nudged him forward and he started walking.

Together we started walking towards the front of the camp, the camp looked empty without the demigods in it. Which was weird I was so used to all the demigods running around the camp. But looking at it now I'm glad that the camp isn't empty, like in all of my dreams. 

"Ok Calypso, we are here," Apollo said stopping at the gate of the Camp. He sighed and turned towards me. 

"I hope you have fun on Olympus," I said looking up at him. I sighed and walked closer to him. For some reason, every time I was with Apollo I had this weird feeling in my stomach. And every time he left that feeling left. What was this feeling?

"Good night Calypso" He closed the gap and gave me a hug. I smiled and returned it quickly. I was engulfed with a scent, it was his scent. He smelled like a fresh breeze, the one that you are fully happy and looking at the sky. For some reason it reminded me of home, something I'm not used to or had. 

"Good Night Apollo, safe trip." I let go of him and within a second he was gone.
