The Raise of the Raze: Chapter 2

Global's POV
I walked with the tall girl, who introduced herself as Hippolyta, to the woods for "capture the flag". The other kids began putting on armor, sharpening their swords and other stuff.

Hippolyta took me to the armory and she said we will search for my armor there. And also my weapon. But I blinked and produced an Army Swiss knife, which me and my brother built last week. I gave her a thumbs-up to show her that weapon is already covered. So we searched for armor instead. We found one, after ten minutes, that fitted me.

As I walked towards the forest, shifting a bit with my heavy armor, I heard a couple of teenagers standing in the shadows of a pink, probably enlarged, doll house whispering, "She looks weird...but also looks nice." I turned my head to them but kept quiet.

The centaur, Chiron his name was, stamped his hoof twice as we gathered in front of the dining pavillion. I listened intently as the teams were announced. I was with "Hermes" cabin for today and I was with blue team, which included Poseidon, Gaea, Ares and Hephaestus.

As the conch horn blew, Percy Jackson, who was the captain, directed me to guard the flag. Hippolyta smiled at me kindly as she left with Percy. They were to capture the flag.

The flag was situated above the tallest tree of the forest, which was about fifteen feet. I decided it looked boring. I mean, the opponent will just climb up and get the flag. Piece o' cake. So I looked around and found acceptable materials and started to build traps around the tree, including a pit, a rubber ladder that doesn't look like it was about to break down, and a "snake" to scare off the enemies. Then I waited silently.

Suddenly, there was an Athena kid charging for me. I stood up, and at the very last second, slid to the right, revealing the pit, which he fell into, screaming. I gave a silent laugh and waited for the next.

After a few minutes, there were three demigods who fell in the hole, which I decided to take to "prison." When I came back, a demigod, who walked a few feet to the tree, saw the gigantic snake and screamed, running away.

Then I giggled uncontrollably. Just then Heart, from the Hestia cabin, walked over to the tree and looked around, as if she saw nothing.

"How weird...Nobody's guarding the flag." She whispered and darted forward. She didn't notice the snake, and used the rubber ladder. Her hand slipped, a rubber ledge slid off and dropped to the chasm, and she fell to the pit.

What's up with the nobody's-guarding-the-flag bit? I'm about one meter away from her.
