Taste of Youth: Chapter 5

Cheyenne's POV

Capture the flag? Easy-peasy. 'Cept, there's Joshua on the opposite team and that guy's annoying as hell. He's a little overpowered. Did I mean a little? No, I mean, too overpowered. I know. I never forget what he did to me. No, I'm not going to do a flashback!

I pored over the details of the plan Annabeth has given us. I was with Charlina and a few other friends in scouting for the flag. Some of our best trappers had already set up traps at the creek, at our side of the border. Annabeth was still instructing a few kids in a corner, and I was wiping dirt off my arrows.

"Hey!" Joshua's voice called. I turned and faced him. He smiled at me, but I gave him a frown and the stink-eye. His face was now of confusion. Then, he shrugged and sauntered off to his side.

Really hate that guy.

Finally, Chiron cantered over to us with his conch horn and lectured us about the rules. After five minutes of fake nods, he finally blew the horn, and the game began.

I followed my group out of the borders and into enemy teritory. I was bringing up the flank, since I was with the bow, while two were weilding shields and slashing their swords against air to prevent enemies from attacking us.

Finally we found the red flag, bearing the emblem of Nemesis, since they won last game. It was situated on the top of some huge rocks, and a little circle of water surrounded it. There was only one guard, but when I looked at the slit of the helmet, I saw Joshua's eyes.

I groaned.

Hooray.

Joshua began to attack us one by one. I backed off a bit, focusing my bow, but the guy was as fast as a blur. No surprise, annoying as he is, he's great in sword-fighting.
