So Sam introduced me to some armor -and Leo got me a knife, bow, and quiver with arrows.

Then we all lined up while Annabeth gave us a briefing.

"Don't worry, Annabeth isn't that boring," Leo whispers.

"Leo! Get to your own team- NOW!!" Annabeth said as she sees Leo standing next to me. he grins sheepishly.

"Sorry, Annabeth!" He takes off running towards Clarisse. Sam looks at me weirdly and I hold my hands out and mouth, What? She shakes her head and looks at Annabeth.

"Cat, you'll be on flag guarding with Lily." She turns to Sam.

"Sam, I want you to cover me from up there." she points to a tree branch at the borderline and Sam nods.

"Alright! Let's go!"

---

Flag guard duty is boring. I sit and stare at the ongoing battle, waiting for someone to come for the flag. Flag guard duty is boring. Have I mentioned that? I groan and lean against the rock. at the top is the flag. The blonde girl- Lily- smiles.

"Don't worry, someone is bound to come for the flag sometime," she says.

I hear a twig snap.

"Point made," she whispers.

I look up to see the flag floating in midair.

"JAKE WALTON YOU PUT OUR FLAG DOWN" Lily yells unexpectedly, aiming her bow at the flag.

"I don't have the flag!!" I hear a yell and a blonde boy is across the border grinning madly. Lily suddenly looks fearful.

"Sam?" she calls, scared. I look up in the tree, and no one's there. I look at the bottom of the tree and Sam is unconscious on the ground, the black dog growling at a skinny kid with brown curly hair.

"Connor Stoll," Lily growls, and the flag hits her in the head- knocking her out.

"Uh, Lily? Are you okay?"

I'm answered with a groan.

A person appears standing next to the flag. It's that buff girl from earlier.

"Hey kid. My name's Clarrise- and I'm about to introduce you to pain."

"That doesn't sound good. I think I'll take the class on NOT being in pain," I say, hoping to stall being stabbed with a sword. Clarrise stares at me.

"My dad is temporarily mortal because of your friend over there. I can't give you a proper welcome anywhere else." With that she runs at me like a bull.

I take out my knife and jump out to the side, careful not to cut myself. Clarrise runs past me with the flag, which she hands to the Connor kid. They are only a step away from the border- so I'm ready to give up- when the black dog attacks the Connor kid, making him jump out of his skin and drop the flag. Someone picks up the flag- A girl in full body armor, her hair tucked in the helmet but I can tell by her body structure.

"Get up," she tells me, holding the flag and ignoring Clarisse's shouts at us. The girl drags me over to the rock.

"Stay here- and don't just watch the flag, keep them from getting it," she says, but I'm not listening, I'm staring at Clarisse. She had walked over to the Jake kid and took a stick from him. No not a stick, a spear! She charges silently.

"Look out! I shout at the girl and push her out of the way. Charging Clarisse at the last second I slide, and as Clarrise stabs her spear in the ground it gets stuck- but now I'm face to face with a very angry girl. She lets go of her spear and slaps me. Hard. I can't see anything but I can feel Clarrise stepping on my leg. I swing my knife at where I would think her leg is.

"OWWW!!" I hear her yell and instantly jump to my feet, pain shooting up my leg. I grab her spear and heave as hard as I can. The ground releases the spear and I aim it at Clarisse, who is limping towards me.

"You're dead, kid," she tells me.

"Really? Then why am I standing here, talking to you? The proper thing to say is 'You're going to be dead'- which I won't be," I tell her, and stab with the spear at her. There's a flash of light.

When I can see again, Clarisse is on the ground twitching, but I can tell she is unconscious. I sit on the ground, relieved.

"Nice job." I look up to see Sam limping over.

"Is it like this every time?" I ask her, confused on how anyone would ever want to play this game.

"Well, actually, this is one of the less ugly days. We get new campers daily, but when we don't let clarisse give them the usual introduction to the toilet- which is, by the way, far worse- she takes it out in the war games," she explains.

I sigh and look at my hands, and notice the serpent on my wrist staring at me, her scales glowing green.

"Uhhh" I say intelligently. The serpent shoots a fountain in the air, and the water falls on me and Sam like rain. I feel my leg healing and sam stares- astonished- at the serpent. Annabeth jumps across the creek to us, holding the flag.

"Thanks, Pip," she tells the girl who helped me earlier.

Everyone starts cheering for Annabeth. As she puts the enemy flag near ours, I turn to Sam who is staring at something behind me- Why is her face glowing?

I look up to see a trident. A freaking glowing trident.

"All hail, Catherine Avery, Daughter of Poseidon," The centaur- Chiron- says, and I sigh.

I'm officially claimed! Yay me!
