Thanks to @Ralitsi for the suggestion!

Jail rules are that if a person is defeated in 1 on 1 combat, the loser must go to jail. A person from their team must tag them or defeat the guards in order for said person to be freed. Defeated guards means everyone is set free.

Jordan is a random filler name and Casey is my OC's little brother.

(Y/N)'s POV
"Blue team!" Chiron called. "Are you ready?"

Half of the campers erupted in roars.

"Red team? Are you ready?" The other half erupted.

"Game begins once team captains have told me that they are ready to begin. You are dismissed to hide your flag." Chiron informed.

"Alright. Luke, take your team and head to the east side. Annabeth, your team covers the flag; My team will take front; (Y/N), your team will be split up as you chose."  Percy divided us up. "Annabeth, find a good spot for the flag. Report to me when all is ready."

Everyone nodded and split up. I stole a glance toward Luke. He was assigning specific positions to his team.

"Alright, you seven help Annabeth; you nine help Percy's team; you ten guard the prison. We are playing with jail rules. You two, be jail breakers. Me, Jordan, and Casey will go with Luke's team. Off you guys go." I instructed.

-Time skip-

All was fairly well. Until all hell broke loose.

Literally.

Nico was on the red team. So hell broke loose. And chaos followed. Thankfully not Chaos chaos, just a frenetic battle.

Chiron specifically said that big battles don't send people to jail. You just get beat.

"Luke! Get your sorry ass over here! I screamed to the blond boy who was just standing there. His head snapped around and he ran toward me.

If we were in a movie, time would slow down around us, and we would gracefully leap into each other's arms. But we aren't. So no of that happened. In fact, Luke tripped over a tree root as he scrambled to get to my side. Gods, he's so useless.

"Graceful." I mutter to him as we fight back-to-back.

"Shut up." He growls.

Luke and I fought together for most of the battle. After about 7 minutes of fighting, I noticed his lack of presence. He was missing.

I scanned the crowd of teenagers. He had to be somewhere!

Off to my left, I saw him being cornered by three burly Ares kids. He was backed against a huge boulder.

They say greed and hate can drive a person mad. Love can too.

There's not way in hell I'd let Luke get cornered and outnumbered. No. Way.

I swirled through people, lashing out, stabbing, swinging my fist. Anything to get to him.

The Ares boys don't notice me. Good. I smack my fist into the head of the guy on the left. He crumpled to the ground, temporarily unconscious. The other two swing at me as they turn around. My sword reflects the dying sunlight. My grin turns slightly maniacal.

I go into auto pilot. Swing, duck, punch. Duck, stab, kick. Repeat. As son as they catch on to my pattern, I switch it up. Stab, kick, punch. Duck, swing, duck. I'm no Ares girl, but I did learn a thing or two from living by my self for four years.

The two remaining Ares kids soon tired out and ran back to their flag. I ran to Luke.

"You're safe." I murmur into his shoulder.

"You look cute when you fight like that." He replies into my messy hair.

I smile and look up at him. I lean in for a kiss. Just before our lips meet, I pause long enough to whisper, "You're useless to fight on your own." then proceed to smash my lips into his.
