I made my way to their flag, if I caught the flag, it would just be the matter of running back to our post.

So, I had to do this.

As I was walking, I held my sword tightly in my grip as I spotted her, Nico's older sister. I would agree slightly with Nico.

We kind of did look alike, but she still looked like a kid while I was now a grown adult.

Now knowing she's a Hunter...she would look this way forever.

I walked over to her holding the sword at the back of her neck.

"I'm taking the flag. So, I suggest you just back away because I don't want to hurt Nico's big sister." I warned her as she slowly turned around.

I smiled and kicked the weapons she had out of her hand as she gasped, and I looked at her as I snatched the silver flag quickly and began making my way back.

I was running as fast as I could. I had made my way until I was shoved to the ground and had landed face first into the snow.

Coughing out the snow I groaned but saw... "PERCY!?" I shouted as he looked at me.

"I had that! You just took the flag!" He argued and I told him "Yes because I wasn't going to run back so we could win this stupid thing!" I spat out in annoyed sarcasm.

He spat out "why!? Why did you decide to join!?" I laughed and held onto the flag "just leave me alone. I don't care about you, Poseidon, Grover. Anything any of your say!" I screamed right into his face.

"Make a villain of me Percy Jackson. Believe me, I have been brought up to be one and anything could make me snap and I haven't!" I shouted.

Percy shouted "just admit it! You're trying to hurt camp? Aren't you?" He asked me and I laughed.

"Even if I wanted to-God's why would I play this stupid game!?" I groaned out as he glared at me.

"You think you're so high and mighty because you have Poseidon on your side," I grabbed Percy's shirt and lifted him up in my arms.

I muttered close to his face, "I never wanted a brother. I cannot believe I considered for one second you could ever understand what me. You're just like every other kid I try to befriend. Useless."

I threw him on the ground as he looked at me and backed away terrified of me. I frowned and looked up to see Thalia standing still as I just shook my head in annoyance, then suddenly yellow smoke bombs began going off in our area and they didn't smell pleasant.

Thalia groaned and cried out "not fair! This is so unsportsmanlike!"

With that I made my escape, I began running as far as I could, the bombs were smelling like some sort of rotten egg type crap. I tried to breathe through my mouth, but it felt like I was eating rotten eggs.

Gross.

Across the creek I could hear Charles Beckendorf and Nico shouting. I was so close; I was right there at the river when suddenly I spotted Zoe Nightshade...with our damn flag in her hand.

Maybe it was the rage, all that pent up misogynistic anger from Poseidon and Percy. Maybe even hormones, my period was late...besides that.

Before she could move a step further my serpents lunged at her straight from the river. Cracking through some ice they spotted her trying to escape. She gasped and cried while walking across the river as they dragged her and kept her down in the grip turning into ice once having hold of her wrists and ankles.
