Son Of Zeus: Lightning Storm

VII. Capture The Flag Is Over!

     Immediately, everyone charged but Maya, Beth and a few others. 

     I looked at Beth. "Do I go too?"

     "No. Wait for a while." she replied.

     After a few minutes of hearing battle cries and clanging of metal, Beth allowed me to go. I ran full speed toward the middle of the forest. As I ran, I began to doubt myself about fighting Drew. If even Beth was worried about fighting him, considering how strong she was, I should be scared as well. What if I lost? What if he killed me? These thoughts began to fill my mind until I came to a halt. In front of me stood armored fighters.

     "Looks like you made it." one of them said.

     "Um, hello. Lovely evening, don't you think?" I joked.

     A few chuckled. One of the bigger ones stepped forward and drew his sword. "Get ready to die." then he charged.

     He reminded me of the cyclops that had been chasing me with his slow charging. At that thought, my mind went blank from anger and I charged. The air currents allowed me to run farther and was in front of him in two seconds flat. His face looked surprised and he stuttered back. I tripped him and he landed on the ground with a loud thud. The ground around us began to shake. He must've weight a ton in order to do that. I ignored the shaking and grabbed my necklace. I turned into Lightning and I pointed its tip at his throat.

     "Would you like to die instead?" I said.

     "N-N-No." he stuttered.

     I let go of my sword and turned back at the others. Immediately, they all charged. I realized that they weren't charging at me though. They passed me and kept running forward toward . . . . Beth. If I knew Drew, which I really didn't, he must've sent them to capture Beth. Typical. I got up and began to float off the ground. I knew I couldn't get there in time by running on foot, so why not just fly?

     I willed myself to go forward. I felt like a bird as I soared through the night sky. Then I remembered my main priority. I began to slow down when I saw a huge army. They were all circled around around one person.

     Beth.

     But where were Maya and the others?

     The first one attacked but she easily disarmed him and knocked him out with her hilt. One after another, they attacked. I knew she couldn't last much longer so I flew in.

     "Beth! Hold your hand up!" I yelled.

     Everyone turned to look at me. I could the surprised expressions on their faces. Beth held her hand up and quickly grabbed it and we flew away. One of the army guys who had a spear threw it. I easily flew to to the right and the spear sailed right by us. I turned around and headed back in the direction I was going in before. I made sure to fly away from the army that was still standing in the same place we'd left them.

     "Thanks a lot, Air-Head." Beth said.

     "Air-Head?"

     "Yeah. It fits you perfectly"

     "Whatever." I said.

     "So when did you learn this?" she asked.

     "Dad."

     "You mean Lord Zeus?" 

     "Yeah." I said, "OK. Here's your stop."

     I flew down and let her down. I took a moment and took off my helmet and put in on te floor.
