Demigods

Nick

Today was Friday. Friday means capture the flag. And Ria would not survive.

We took her to the Dionysus.

"Well, we'll if it isn't anther demigod to torture." He said

" I'm Ria."

I wondered how she wasn't scared of him. The first time I met Dionysus I said I ... like... cookies. And he had laughed so hard the chefs actually brought in cookies for us .

I gestured Ria to go and we walked towards the forest in silence.

"Who do you think my godly parent is?" she asked me

Usually if you suspected someone's godly parent you weren't supposed to tell them.

" I think its.... Athena. But I have decided not to tell that to Abhijit.

"Ewwwww. Now I am half sister with Abhijit?" She complained.

"Not yet and maybe I am wrong so don't think about it."

Soon we gathered around the campfire with our offerings. I sat at the Zeus table, alone. Abhijit sat at the Athena table debating with his brothers and sisters that star wars was better than star trek. and Ria sat at the Hermes table talking to the other Hermes girls and boys. Hermes was planted with demigods who weren't claimed. Although you had to be claimed by thirteen.

I walked near the fire and dropped in a steak.

Someone shouted something and everyone gathered around them. We were all staring at the weapons on the long row of tables. I was particularly interested in Thalia's shield.

"I will announce the teams!" Dionysus yelled."Hermes Athena Zeus and Poseidon cabins are in one team! Aphrodite, Ares,and Dionysus are on the other team. Pick up your weapons and armor in three...two...one!"

Today we had three new arrivals, including Ria. All of them looked lost and nervous.

I picked up Thalia's shield while Ria and Abhijit grabbed daggers and chest plates . Ria also grabbed two arrows for some reason. Only two and no bow.

The Poseidon, Zeus, Hermes, and Athena cabins gathered in the most hidden part of the forest quiet as foxes. Our flag was black which made it easier to hide and defend.

We discussed our gameplan deciding that Zeus and Poseidon were to be defense since we had 7 people in all. and Hermes and Athena were offense cause there was at least 20 of them. They split up in to groups of five and quickly dispersed, leaving me alone with the Poseidon boys and girls.

The Poseidon boys started talking and I felt awkward just standing there next to the flag. That is when I heard a rustle.

"Look out!"
