The Vampires of the Night: Chapter 6

Mikmak’s POV

The teams were announced. And the privileges had been traded; first in shower times, best slots of activities and chores.

“Er, Luna, you’re not gonna throw some arrows at my head like devil’s like what you did last time, are you?” I said.

The last time we play I got two arrows planted on my helmet that made me looks like a cute devil in charge. I got it from Luna, she’s really good in archery, what would you expect from the daughter of Artemis?

She smiled and patted me on the back. “Don’t worry about that. If I won’t see you around MAYBE I could not plant one. So don’t get too nervous.”

I put on my disappointed with a bit angry face. “Well, I will make sure you won’t see me. I really don’t want any of your silver arrows sprout at my head.” Then I grinned. “But then I’ll make sure we’re going to win. So go now Luna and prepare yourself.”

“Cut it out you two. It’s better if you get ready for the game rather than arguing about stupid things.” Josh interrupted. He was ready to wear his helmet with blue plume on top.

“We aren’t arguing Josh; we’re just having a little conversation about what might happen at the game,” I concluded.

“That’s right,” Luna added.

I nudge Luna at her side and whispered, “You know, when there’s a game; Josh forgot all bad things and came back to his confident attitude.”

“Yeah, he’s really ‘that’ addict in capture the flag,” she whispered back.

Then both of us laugh.

“Huh?” Josh scratched his head as if there’s something he didn’t know.

“Well, I’m going back to my team. Let’s have a good game.” Then Luna left and walked towards the other side where her team mates are waiting.

Just then Annabeth called for us.

“Plan?” I asked.

“Of course, like I always said ‘Athena always has a plan’.” Annabeth replied. But whenever she said that thing I always felt nervous.

Then she told us what we need to do. We marched to the south woods and get ourselves to our destined positions. I’m assigned at the distractive/offensive team, as always.

Suddenly the conch horn blew all across the forest. The game had started. I heard yells and screams in the woods. I summoned my sword and started running to the opponents’ territory. On my way, I met two enemies, one was Nico and the other was an Ares’ child.

And our fight started.
