VIII

During Capture the Flag today, Percy and Annabeth went missing. At first, I feared they had been captured, but later on I discovered that they had unearthed the entrance to Daelalus' Labyrinth.

With great reluctance, I had told Luke, knowing that if I withheld he would find out anyway, and if he does... Well, he had told me he would kill Charlie and make me watch if my loyalties ever wavered.

When I gave him the information about the Labyrinth, he, in return, admitted he was planning an invasion plan. I feel terrible now, as by telling him they discovered the entrance, I removed our slight advantage, as he believed we did not know it existed.

I detest the role of a spy.

In fact, I wholly dislike the cause I'm fighting for. This isn't freedom, it's just a tyrant hoping to take over and using manipulation and lies to sway the ruler's allies to his side.

I can't believe I'm spying for him.

When they attack, I want to fight for camp. Not pretending, like was planned, but actually fight. I know the enemies strategy, how they hope to achieve victory, the weak spots in the army.

I can target them where they're weakest.

If he discovers me... well, I'll probably be dead long before that, and I know camp will protect Charlie. Without me, they have no ammunition against him. He's smart, he won't walk into a trap.

If they don't, then I guess I'm still stuck under the command of an angry Son of Hermes bent on revenge, the cruel Titan king he serves.

I think I might prefer death.
