Chasing Mt. Olympus

Chapter 5.1

June 7, 8 am

I wake up in cabin 11, the Hermes cabin. I had to sleep there because I have no clue who my godly father is. So the Hermes cabin is basically the Undetermined/Hermes cabin. Poor Hermes kids.

The door opens and Percy comes in. "Today we're playing capture the flag. Annabeth insisted that you would be on our team. You'd have to ask her whether you'd be on offense or defense. Probably defense."

I walk out of the door with Percy. Suddenly, Annabeth appears next to him.

"I told you that you could persuade her." Annabeth punches Percy in the arm.

As we are walking to the big house, I ask Percy about how he got here.

"Almost the same way you did. Except the monster did attack me. I killed it, though. It was a minotaur. Do you wanna see it's horn?"

I think of a bloody minotaur horn, then feel a little nauseous. "No thanks, Percy."

We finally come to the big house. I see crates with red tees and blue tees. There are weapons and armor. I look to the left and see Clarisse La Rue putting on a helmet with a red plume on top. It looked like Athena's helmet. Percy, and I grabbed blue armor and helmets. Percy pulled out a ballpoint pen.

"How is that going to help you, Percy?" I ask. He tells me to wait a second. He uncaps the pen and it grows into a sword.

I grab a sword and look at Clarisse.

"She is on the red team. We have to try to capture her team's flag." I whisper to myself.

Percy turns to me. "Hey Ariel, Annabeth told me that you are on defense with me. We'll stand in the creek." I could tell he was thinking that I might be his half sister. We are close in resemblance, except I had blue eyes. I do not know if I smell of the ocean, I can't tell. Maybe if I ask someone here at camp...
