The Name Stealer

Frost's POV

The day went by slowly. When I woke up, Sky was gone. As usual, but this time, I knew why. I sighed and got out of bed. I threw on some clothes, and went to go eat breakfast. Sky was sitting at the table, staring off into the woods. She had a plate of eggs and pancakes, but they were untouched. Her eyes closed, and I saw a tear fall down her cheek.

I sat down next to her, not saying anything. I ate in silence, and when I was done, she still hadn't touched her food. I started to get worried, but I didn't say anything. At sword practice she just sat and watched, not participating.

"Come on. Duel me." I said. She shook her head. I kept pestering her, but she firmly said no every time. I gave up and went to duel a Ares guy. While I was dueling him, I accidently froze our swords together. I swept his feet and he fell to the ground with a thud. I smiled at him.

"Don't mess with Khione's daughter." I unfroze our swords and tossed him his. I walked off, strolling casually through the hallway of the Big House. I walked by Chiron's office, and heard a male voice I didn't recognize. I put my ear to the door, listening intently.

"I don't care what he says, I know there's a spy for Gaea, and he or she must be terminated. I won't risk the safety of this Camp." A deep male voice said.

"Yes yes, I know you think there is a spy, but I can assure you, there isn't. I have taken every security measure." Chiron said. The man grunted.

"Fine. But if Sky ends up being a spy, I'll kill her myself." I heard a chair move, and I ran down the hall as quietly as I could. I got a good look of the guy. He was around 5'6, light brown hair, blue eyes, camp t-shirt, and was extremely ripped. He had a scar along the right side of forehead. It was nasty.

He he walked out in a huff, anger covering his face. I slowly stood up, my heart beating like a drum. I started freaking out for Sky. Tonight was Capture the Flag, and she was going to get killed.


Sky's POV

My day was pretty rotten, and Capture the Flag wasn't any better. I was strapping on my armor, when a random guy walked up to me.

"I know your secret. I know your a spy, and I'll prove it tonight. Your dead meat Phoebe girl." And then he walked off. I was flustered, and scared. Flustered because he just walked up to me and started threatening me, and scared because he knew. I had to convince him I wasn't, even though I was.

Frost walked and started strapping on her armor. I felt kinda bad for giving her the cold shoulder, but I didn't mean to. I was really upset about my dad. I made a mental note to apologize after Capture the flag. If I made it out alive. I sighed and strapped my dagger to my hip, and secured my guns. I had some Hephaestus kids make me some tranquilizer bullets, and stun bullets. They were pretty handy if you didn't want to kill someone.

Chiron went over the rules, and we started the game. Athena, Hermes, Demeter, Percy and Hephaestus, on blue team, and Ares, Dionysus, Apollo, Aphrodite, and me and Frost on red. They posted me on flag guard duty, and Frost had Zeus's fist. I stood guard with an Apollo kid, and an Ares kid.

I was looking in the brush, trying to see if an enemy was there, when I felt an arm circle around my neck. I lifted up my knee and grabbed a pistol out of my boot, and shot my attacker. I saw a flash of bronze aimed for my head, and I rolled and shot a Hermes kid. I looked at my first attacker. It was the guy who threatened me earlier.

I saw a enemy out of the corner of my eye, running for me. I unsheathed my dagger and met his blade. I kicked him in the gut and grabbed a sword, laying on the ground. I met his blade again, and we did a dance. Parry, strike, deflect, roll. I finally kicked him in the face and shot him with a stun bullet.

I looked around for the people who were supposed to be helping me guard, and found the gut who threatened me, standing up, and holding a sword.

"I am going to kill you. Right here and now." I cocked my gun and aimed at his face.

"Would you like another nap? If not, I suggest you put the sword down, and surrender." I said, my finger on the trigger.

"Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you. You do want to know your name, don't you." I lowered my gun.

"What?" I asked, trying to sound confused, but failing painfully.

"I know who knows your real name, and I can take you to him, for a price." He said, gloating. I raised my gun again.

"I don't know who or what your talking about. Now drop the sword, or your going to take a nice long nap." I said. He smirked and I pulled the trigger. He crumpled, and so did I. When I shot the gun, I felt an intense pain in my back, like someone had stabbed me.

I fell to my knees, my vision blurring from the intense pain. I turned around and saw a blurry outline of a tall figure, holding a bloody knife, and then everything went black.
