(Ella's POV)
I was a complete crying mess, but it felt nice being in Percy's warm embrace. I finally managed to calm down & he asked me if I was okay. I nodded my head in response. After a while he asks.
"Nora," he said, "have heroes really gone on quests to the Underworld?"
"Sometimes," I said. "Orpheus. Hercules. Houdini. Why?"
"And have they ever returned somebody from the dead?"
"No. Never. Orpheus came close...Percy, you’re not seriously thinking-"
"No," he cut me off. "I was just wondering. So…how'd you do that cool trick yesterday?"
I gave him a suspicious look. I wasn't really convinced that he dropped the Underworld idea but I shrugged it off.
"So, like I told you before I can read & control minds & I also have the power of telekinesis. It was how I'd located you at the cabin in Montauk."
"Woah, woah...slow down. You have to show me how all your powers work." I giggled at how curious he sounded.
"Okay. Which power do you wanna see first?"
"Mind control?"
I looked around for a subject & saw Clarrise headed towards the bathrooms. I grabbed Percy's hand & pulled him along. We made it to the bathroom & crouched behind a few bushes.
"A little warning would be better ne-"
The rest of his sentence was muffled because I quickly clamped a hand over his mouth when I saw Clarisse come out of the bathroom.
"You wanna get caught?" I whispered.
"C'mon we gotta go after her."
"Okay, okay let's go."
We followed her until she reached her cabin. I held Percy's hand & led him toward the cabin.
"Okay, so...do you trust me?" I asked him.
"Of course. I always have & I always will."
When he said that butterflies erupted in my stomach & my cheeks heated up.
Our eyes met & for a moment I got lost in his sea green eyes, which were as calm as the ocean on a summer evening. But then I remembered what we're supposed to be doing & quickly looked away.
We entered the cabin where Clarrise was busy polishing her spear. I read her mind & saw what she feared most..was her father-Ares.
I created an illusion of Ares in front of her. She looked up & gasped.
"F-father, what are you doing here?"
"You dare disobey me child!" He thundered.
"No, father. But I haven't done anything wrong."
"If I do find you doing something..."
"Yes, father I-I understand."
When I made the vision disappear she looked as white as a ghost. Percy & I stepped outside.
"Woah! That..was..so..cool! Percy exclaimed.
"Yeah?"
"Totally! What about mind reading?" He asked me.
"Think about something." I told him.
"Hmmm...your thinking about blue chocolate chip cookies."
He looked at me shocked, "No way..How??"
"Way! It's easy. Okay try again." He thinks.
"Seven layer dip with tortilla chips &....blue cherry coke?"
"Damn it! I give up." I laughed.
"I can even telepathically talk to you."
"Really?"
"Yeah." I reply in his mind.
"Awesome." He responds back. "What about telekinesis?"
Just as he said that Will walked by with a high stack of boxes. He tripped suddenly & dropped the topmost one.
I caught it mid-air with blue wisps of power stopping it from falling & place it back on top of the stack.
"Thanks Nora!"
"Your welcome, Will."
I turned to see Percy standing there with his jaw hanging open in shock. I closed his mouth with a giggle & walked on ahead.

After dinner it was finally time for capture the flag. The teams were usually divided into Apollo, Hermes the largest cabins & me from the Zeus cabin. Our side was led by Athena.
The others: Dionysus, Demeter, Aphrodite, & Hephaestus, led by the Ares cabin. Percy came over to me & asked.
"Ares & Athena always lead the teams?"
"Not always," I said. "But often."
"So, if another cabin captures one, what do you do- repaint the flag?"
I smiled coyly. "You’ll see. But first we gotta get one."
"Whose side are we on?"
"Hermes & I have a temporary alliance with Athena. Tonight, we get the flag from Ares."
Until next time...👋🏻
