Percy's Sister [ON HOLD]

Kendall

I squat behind a tree, waiting for the right moment. I watch as Dylan and Annabeth battle. He has a much bigger weapon but I can tell that she has years of experience and is holding her ground well. I bite my lip, like I always do when I'm nervous. Dylan side steps her strike and swings his spear around to smack her in the stomach with the the butt of his weapon. I wince as all the air gets sucked out of her and she kneels down, trying to catch her breath.
"Um...sorry, but.. You know... We were kinda fighting and..." He stutters
I smile, I've never seen him lost for words before.
Annabeth can't say anything so she does a 'I'm okay' signal.
At that second, three more people drop from the trees. Percy emerges from the shadows and starts fighting. I see them subtly move them away from the flag. I wait for the right moment. Not yet... Not yet. I keep thinking to myself. I have to wait. Annabeth is still gasping for air, so I can count her out as a threat. The other three are preoccupied with Percy and Dylan, then why do I feel like I should wait longer?
"Stop it Kendall, it's now or never." I mutter under my breath. I get up and sprint towards the flag. My fingers are inches away from the flag, when a sword comes between us. I follow my gaze to a girl with chocolate brown hair and strange eyes which I can't tell the colour of. Piper I think her name is, leader of the Aphrodite cabin. I draw my dagger and we start battling. How many people have to drop out of trees before we can win this thing? I think irritability.
"How many people are hiding in trees? Annabeth really thought this through." I say
She laughs as she dodges my strike.
"Man you don't even know. She made a plan A B C and a 2 decoy plans."
I smile
"She's committed, ill give her that." I say laughing
"Right over here guys" Annabeth wheezes
"Thanks for the chit chat, but I have a flag to grab." I say as I disarm her and knock her back.
I go to grab the flag but she says
"Freeze right were you are. You DONT want to grab that flag." She says
I freeze in my place. Why won't I move? She has the ability of charm speak, Percy had told me all about her. I take a deep breath in and close my eyes. I don't know how or why, but I feel as if I've dealt with charm speak before. I clear my mind, my only thought is grabbing the flag. I feel myself wriggling free from her control. I open my eyes and clasp the flag.
"How did you..."
I cut piper off with my scream of joy. Percy and Dylan stop fighting and look over to me. They both break into a grin and run up to me.
"You did it!" Dylan shouts, hugging me
He pulls away and I feel my cheeks blushing.
The horn blows to signal victory. Our team comes flooding in towards us. They all cheer as I hold up the flag triumphantly. They lift me up onto their shoulders and march towards Chiron.
Im still in awe when they set me down.
"Victory to the blue team." Declares Chiron
Another huge cheer erupts from the crowd.
Chiron looks down at me and says
"Well done Kendall, I was not wrong about you." He says
I feel my cheeks blush even more.
So this is what it feels like to be the centre of attention. It's nice, but I don't want to make it a regular habit. I'm quite happy to stay in the background. Permanently in the shadow of my brother. The sister of Percy Jackson, is that how I want to be remembered?
