Chapter one- Games Gone Wrong

I opened my eyes to look up at the largest statue of Zeus I had ever seen. I kid you not, it was about 70 feet tall and looked as if it were staring down at me and judging me. It very well could be. There is a lot to judge.

It had been two months since I had gotten back from Hogwarts, and as August dawned on camp, there was a restless energy flowing around. The news that Kyle had betrayed camp spread like wildfire and everyone wanted to do something. But the gods had deemed the case of Ouranos' rising closed, and Chiron agreed. No one was allowed on a quest to find Kyle, and it caused the entire camp to talk in whispers about what happened in the chamber. No one really knew the whole story, other than me. No one else was there.

Addy, my owl, swooped in through an open window, jarring me out of my thoughts. Yesterday, July 31st, was Harry's birthday and I had sent Addy out with a present and letter with updates from camp. That had become our norm. I would give him updates and he would tell me about what was going on in London. I pulled the letter off of Addy's leg and opened it, trying to make out Harry's sloppy quill work.

Emma-

Thanks for the present! I have no idea where you manage to find a endless trunk, but it's going to make packing so much easier (I managed to convince one of the Hephaestus kids to modify a trunk I had gotten to make it bigger on the inside). Things are… not that enjoyable right now. I just learned that my Aunt Marge is coming today. She's probably worse than Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. I'm going to have to try to keep my temper in check. You know how good I am at that.

Anyway, how are things at camp? Has Chiron sent any one out yet? How's your arm? Write back soon, OK? I miss you. Let me know when you're coming to London so I can meet up with you!

Love,

Harry

I folded the letter and put it with the other ones in a small alcove close to where my sleeping bag was set up. The worst thing about the Zeus cabin is that no one has lived here in centuries so there were no bunks. That means that I have been sleeping in a sleeping bag for the last two months. The alcove also held my wand, sword, and birthday cards from June. My birthday also happened to be the Summer Solstice and 10 days after school ended. I got presents from all my friends in london, including a Nimbus 2002, the newest model, with a note explaining that Katie Bell had moved to France and would be now attending Beauxbatons and he expected me to try out for the team. As much as I loved Katie, I was so happy that I get to try out for the team that I didn't mind.

Ginny gave me a teddy bear with a note saying to decorate my cabin a bit. I did just that, taking some money out of my gringotts account that held a small fortune, and buying some decorations, including a new rug, dressers, twinkle lights, a desk to keep my summer work on, and multiple bookshelfs to keep my dozens of books on, both wizarding and non. Over the course of last year, I had managed to collect more wizarding books then I thought existed, including about 20 on ancient runes. I think that's the thing I most excited about for this coming up school year. I would be able to take third year runes as a second year. I had a bed coming, but it got back ordered and won't come until sometime this week. Thanks to the magic shop I bought it from, it would just appear at my room.

Hermione gave me ten different books she said she read while in France about history of magic there (she knows my favorite subject is History) that she loved. Ron got me some candy, with a note saying that I had to come visit soon because Ginny wouldn't stop complaining about how she hasn't gotten to see her friends. Astoria got me a dozen books that she found in the Greengrass library that she said hadn't been read in centuries and wouldn't be missed.

I missed my friends a lot, but I kept telling myself that I would see them soon. After spending a year with them, leaving felt so wrong. Especially when I had to say goodbye to Harry at King's Cross and leave him with those awful people he had to call his family.

I put back the letters and cards that had fallen out of the alcove and tidied my "room", putting books back and making my sleeping bag. I was thinking about adding in a giant chair to sit on while I read, but I have to keep reminding myself that I'm leaving in a month. Even better, i got a letter from Ginny saying that in three weeks they were going to Diagon Alley and asked if I would join. Chiron agreed, so that made the time until I get to see them even shorter.

I looked at my watch, and realized that breakfast had already started. So I grabbed my sword off of my night table, strapped my daggers onto my ankles and forearms, swung my bag over my shoulder, and put my sword in it's holster made by the Hephaestus cabin. The sword in question is the Sword of Gryffindor that used to hang in Dumbledore's office, but which he gave to me in replace of my sword given by Kyle.

I made my way to the dining pavilion, waving to my friends that I passed along the way. The mood was high because it was Friday which means that it's capture the flag day. So far, the teams went as followed.

Blue team (lead by Lizzy and I)-Zeus, Hecate, Athena, Ares, and Apollo.

Red team (lead by Caroline from the Hephaestus cabin and Lily from the Aphrodite cabin)- Hermes, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Demeter, and Dionysus.

We had good chances, what with Athena and Ares both on our team, but the Hermes cabin had at least double the other cabins. Apollo normally sided with the red team, but after offering them the first shower spot, they decided to come with us. Normally as the smallest cabin, I get first shower and share it with Lizzy, but we gave it up for second shower time in order to get Apollo's cabin because they were the best shot at camp which is good because we need a good defense.

I made it to the dining pavilion and sat at my empty table, smiling at Lizzy from across the room. Lizzy had grown significantly over the summer and is now about a foot taller than my five foot. She also turned 14 and started to wear more makeup (which I tease her for mercilessly). It's funny, because the two of us have most activities together since we used to be in the same cabin, but when you see us walking around together, we look like polar opposite. Her extremely tan skin sets off her bleach blond hair and her blue eyes. Plus she's so tall. Then you have tiny me, not even having hit puberty yet, with my extremely pale/sunburned skin and red hair against my gray blue eyes. It's kind of funny.

Chiron stood up and the pavilion fell silent. "Attention campers! Just a reminder that tonight we will have a capture the flag game. Same rules as always apply. Make your final allys tonight and captains, please give in the list of your teams by dinner. Activities start in twenty minutes, so get ready." With that, Chiron sat down. Talking resumed, but unfortunately there was no one for me to talk to. Instead I pulled out a piece of parchment and my silver gel pen and started a letter to Harry.

Harry-

Things at camp are normal. Chiron still won't talk about the threats that are going on and so we just go on with everyday activities of learning how to use a sword and how to kill monsters. Then again, wizard life isn't that normal either. My arms fine, still slightly sore but I don't need bandages anymore. You worry too much. I'm fine, promise. I finally had time to take the broom out on wednesday for the first time since you got it for me. Thanks again for that! It really is a great broom. But did you hear about the new firebolt? Apparently they're like, the best brooms out there. Come one Harry, you're slacking with the presents. Anyway, it sucks that your aunt is coming. But please please please try to keep your temper. I don't want to have to go to privet drive to pick up exploded Harry. But if something does happen, call me and I'll come right away, ok? Stay safe and try not to need me.

Love,

Emma

I put the letter into my bag, vowing to send it out with Addy later. I grabbed my bag again when I saw everyone else get up and went to ancient greek with Lizzy.

I went through lesson after lesson learning how to speak greek, greek mythology, sword skills, etc. It all seemed kind of pointless especially when there's something way more important out there. It also probably has something to do with the fact that i've been doing the same thing for the past 7 years.

"You alright?" Lizzy asked as I brought up my sword to parry hers.

"Yeah," I replied half heartedly.

"Are you thinking about Kyle again?" Lizzy asked. She knew about everything that went on in the chamber.

"Not exactly," I replied. "More about the fact that this all seems useless."

"You think learning all this is useless?" Lizzy asked, turning to hit me in the side with the flat of her sword but I rolled under it.

"Well, I mean, more the whole practicing over and over the same things that I've been doing since I was five." I hit her wrist, trying to knock her sword out of her hand, but she threw her sword up, moved her hand, and then caught it again.

"Well practice makes perfect," Lizzy replied.

"I guess, but there's only so much practicing you can do before you need hands on experience to learn anything more," I argued.

"Well you have more hands on than any of us," Lizzy said, mentioning the fact that I had to kill two different monsters in a supposedly "safe" school.

"True," I replied. "I'm also missing it, I guess."

"What, the fighting for your life?" Lizzy smirked as she hit me in the side with the back of her sword. I jumped back, but not soon enough. I could feel the bruise already forming.

"No, the school," I said.

"I think you're the only person that misses school," Lizzy replied. I laughed, spun around her, and hit her sword out of her hand.

"True," I said, picking up her sword and passing it to her, "But then again, most people don't just see their friends and brother at school."

"Ok, fair enough," Lizzy said. "But it's only like a couple of weeks until we go to diagon alley."

That made me stop. "Wait, you're coming?" Lizzy smiled and nodded and I felt my face crack into a wide grin. "I thought you said you couldn't make it?!"

"When have you ever known me to give up a shopping spree?" Lizzy smiled. It almost made me feel like a normal girl again, going shopping with her friends. But then I remember I was going shopping for wizarding supplies while heavily armed with weapons. So maybe not so normal. But hey, normal is boring.

Lizzy and I spared for another half hour before running to get showers before going to dinner.

Dinner was buzzing with excitement while every team made plans for the game tonight. Instead of sitting at our normal tables, our entire team crowded at my table and ate dinner there.

"So what's the plan?" Kate asked. She was wearing gray to represent the Athena cabin. "Because I've come up with something.

"Of course you have," Michael said. His blood red shirt he was wearing to represent Ares had a sword on it that was dripping blood itself. Typical Ares.

"I was thinking," I said before world war III started, "that we could have Lizzy on defense," Lizzy smiled at that because she hated upfront work and prefered to keep up magical shields around her, "with the rest of her cabin. They can put up shields and cast spells and illusions. Athena cabin half on offense half on defense, the half on defense should be planning on backups just in case." The Athena cabin started to argue who got to be on defense and who was on offense. "Apollo defense, sharp shooters," the Apollo cabin looked happy about that. "I want you guys in trees, behind rocks, etc. Ares offense," the biggest part of our team grinned evilly. "I'll go over head and keep aerial patrol, using a mix of magic and sword. Hannah and Tom," I looked towards the two Apollo campers, "I want you two on flag duty. Anything to add?" I asked Lizzy.

"Just make sure that you stay on your spot, stay alert, and try to play fair. Sure, I want to win, but not if it means playing dirty. Just try your best."

"Ok campers!" Chiron called. "Get ready. Blue team, lead by Lizzy and Emma, will be on the far side of the creek. Caroline and Lily will be heading the red team and will be on the near side. Rules are as followed. Every camper who is not injured must play. That is all of you. The creek is the boundary line. If you cross to the opposite side that isn't your teams you can get disarmed and will be taken as prisoner. The entire forest is fair game, but you must stay in the forest. All magic items are allowed. You must be able to see the flag at all times and the flag can have no more than two guards around it. Prisoners can be disarmed but not bound or gagged. Killing and maiming is not allowed. Guards are not allowed to stand within ten yards of the flag. Breaking any of these rules will be punished with no dessert for a week. Any questions?" Nobody said anything. "Ok, campers to your position."

"Blue team!" Lizzy cried. "Let's go!" We all cheered and ran towards our position. Everyone took their position, and I got ready to take to the air.

"Campers, on your marks," Chiron cried. "And go!" I took off and started to fly through the air. Flying had gotten easier since last year when I used it to get out of the chamber. Everyday practice was very useful indeed. I flew overhead, looking below at the field. I had put my hair into a messy bun before we started, something I learned to do after having a crash landing while trying to fly with a ponytail in. Wind was so strong up here that it was easy to get hair in your face.

I tried to find the flag, and finally spotted it in one of the ditches close to where camp was. It was surrounded by 2 Hephaestus kids who had different Automatons around it. In Front of them, two Dionysus kids were prowling around with the rest of the Hephaestus kids. I saw Sam, the head of the Athena cabin, slinking through a couple of trees. I flew down and landed next to her, causing her to jump a bit.

"Gods Emma, you have to stop doing that," she whispered at me.

I chuckled softly and said, "I found the flag. You wanna go get it?"

"Is that even a question?" Sam asked, laughing. I told her to turn and I grabbed her, flying up. We soared overhead, before dropping on top of the flag. Immediately people swarmed us. I pulled out my sword and Sam did the same. I put up a shield of solid air, but a few people got through.

"I got them," Sam said. "Get the flag." I nodded and did just that, going for the flag, but it disappeared. I stopped, looking at the spot where the flag was two seconds ago. "What's taking you so long?" Sam asked, turning to the next person.

"The flag disappeared," I replied, stunned. This caused almost all of the campers to stop and looked.

"Where'd it go?" I heard one kid ask.

"Who took it?" Another asked. More and more kids started to come over and look. Even Chiron came over, looking as confused as the rest of us.

"Who took the flag?" Chiron asked. No one stepped forward. "Ok, I guess the game is done."
"Who won?" shouted an Ares camper.

"No one," Chiron said. People grumbled but started to walk away. But then the ground started to shake. Not quite like an earthquake, more like splitting.

And that's just what the earth did. A small crack appeared in the earth and out popped… a girl.

She was short, with jet black hair and gray eyes. Her skin was even paler than mine. She was wearing normal mortal clothes, jeans and a t-shirt. But she had a British accent, or at least that's what it sounded like when she said, "That's weird. I'm supposed to be dead." Then she slumped forward.

A/N Oooooh. Who's the new girl? You'll figure out more about her next chapter. She'll play a really big roll in this story. I really hoped you guys liked this! Expect updates every or every other Sunday. Hope you guys liked it!
