Caught in between ~ Percy Jackson x y/n

Capture the flag

After training all day yesterday, today is finally the day. The day where most kids get noticed and attention from their godly parents. The day I will show my parents how special I am.

I got out of bed, took a shower, and got ready. I decided to do an early morning run to get the day going. I grabbed my headphones and started blasting the song 'Light 'em Up', by the Fall Out Boys.

After my morning run, I spotted Percy and Luke sitting at a table outside talking, so I went over to them.

Y/n: "Hey guys, what's up?" I said as I waved to them.

Percy and Luke: "Hey." They both replied.

Y/n: "What are you guys talking about?" I asked.

Percy: "Nothing really." He replied a little too fast.

Y/n: "You've been here for a couple of days and you're already keeping secrets from me." I scoffed.

Luke: "We were just talking about my life and how I got here with Annabeth." Luke replied.

Percy: "Yeah about that, she's been watching me since I got here. Why?" He asked, looking between me and Luke.

I didn't want to answer him because I thought Annabeth was watching him because she probably liked him but I didn't know for sure so I kept quiet, which made Luke answer.

Luke: "Annabeth is the strongest warrior in camp. The only way she has to prove that is to go on a quest." Luke said.

Y/n: "She went on a quest with me, with us." I interrupted.

Luke: "She said it wasn't a real quest and that it was embarrassing because she got knocked out during the time we got ambushed and that she was unable to show her true warrior skills." He replied.

Y/n: "Okay wow, if she thinks that helping a friend with something is embarrassing then she isn't a real warrior." I snapped.

Luke: "She didn't mean it like that. It's just that Chiron has been promising her quests for years saying how one day a demigod would come to camp and they would be fated to go on a quest that not even Chiron can prevent." Luke said, pulling my arm to stop me from leaving.

Luke: "After every arrival, she watches them for any signs that it could be her chance to shine during a quest. At first she thought it was you." Luke pointed to me.

Y/n: "Me." I said pointing to myself.

Luke: "Yeah, as soon as she saw that you were born from two gods, she thought that it could finally be her time to go on a quest, so that's why she decided to go with you to find your mom." Luke explained.

Luke: "She was wrong because nothing special happened during that quest. So I think now she is watching you, Percy. After a day or two she usually gives up, but she is still watching you." He said looking over to Percy.

Percy: "Well can you ask her to knock it off?" Percy snapped.

Luke: "Yeah, but what if she's right?" He questions.

After that conversation, we heard the conch shell being blown. It's time. Game time.

Chiron: "Heroes it's time. The game begins." Chiron said, looking at his watch.

Everyone went to the armory to get ready for the game and then met up later where Chiron was waiting.

Chiron: "The first team to retrieve the opposing flag and return it across the river shall be the victor. As always there should be no maiming or killing. I trust these rules will be respected. Any magical items you may possess are permitted as well. Every camper who is not injured has to play." Chiron continued.
