The Vampires of the Night: Chapter 9

Josh's P.O.V

After the darkness vanished, we kept playing capture the flag. Nyx really had a point. She isn't the one who wants to overthrow olympus, it's Khione. She kept whispering thoughts to Nyx so she could get what she wants. I forgave her, and just like that.

I saw Luna had the flag, and Mikmak got arrows on her helmet, and I pulled out the arrows to free her. I ran towards the flag, dodging the arrows that Gary and Melina shot, and they dropped down from the tree.

The stood on either side of me, and I face both of them, waiting for them to attack. Gary attacked first, and I blocked it with my sword and swung my sword at him. He blocked and I slammed him with my shield, sending him flying.

That left with Melina. She's better than Gary. I took out my arrow and shot her in the leg. She dodged, and the surprising thing is that the arrow exploded near her leg, blinding her. I knocked her out with my shield and continued running.

There, I saw the flag. I was about to get the flag when Luna dropped from a ledge.

"Do you think it will be that easy?" Luna said. But she didn't have any weapons in her, so I admit I might have chuckled a bit and stopped when a silver sword appeared out of thin air and into her hand.

Believe it or not, she's great in sword fighting, despite the fact that her mother is Artemis, who is born out of her father's last breath. Now Gary and Melina were the ironic ones. Artemis conceived them with Robert McKidd and when Zeus finds out, he forced Artemis to drink from the stygian river.

Anyway, I moved flawlessly dodging every strike that Luna made. I should have gotten tired but I'm not. The sun is helping me regen energy everytime. Luna looked confused as why I didn't tire like other people did. Mikmak appeared beside me and told me she'll confront Luna. Meanwhile, I go for the flag.
