Max POV

"All right," said Chiron as the campers all gathered around him, moi included. The flag is currently owned by the Apollo cabin." A bunch of blond haired people held up the flag, which was a golden color with a sun and a bow and arrow stitched on it. I kind of zoned out after that. Although I do remember Nudge and Gazzy holding up the flag we had made. It was the color of the sky and on it was a pair of white wings. On the top in white were the words "The Flock". Of course, everybody was extremely confused.

I had a long sword strapped to my hip but apart from that no other weapon or armor to speak of. Fang had two short swords but like me, no armor. In fact, none of the Flock had any armor. Nudge had wooden bow in her hand, arrows strapped to her back. She also had a hunting knife. Iggy had taken a sword though he had equipped himself with bombs as well. How did I know this? A wire was sticking out from his windbreaker.

The Gasman was taking a short sword and Angel had nothing. Well, except her mind control. All of the campers had given us weird looks when we came like this, all of them bearing weapons and armor. They thought we were weird? They should look at Percy. All that boy had was a pen.

"Ok," said Chiron and everybody fell silent. "Max, you and your group go in first. Then the rest of you go." We all waited for the signal. Everybody was tense and excited.

Then we heard the signal and we bound into the forest.

"You know the plan," I said and we scattered. Angel took the flag and ran into the forest to find a good place to put the flag and protect it, ready to convince any camper that came for the flag that they were, in fact, a chicken. Gazzy and Iggy went to the west side of the border, ready to make a distraction so that at least half the camp went there.

Nudge was going into the offense team's territory to get the rest of the campers on her trail so me and Fang could sneak in and grab the flag. Easy peasy.

The conch shell blew again and I knew that the rest of camp was making their way through the forest. I heard a large boom from somewhere on my right and I knew that Iggy and Gazzy were just loving this.

Then I gave a nod to Nudge and she bound into the trees like a deer, somehow not making any noise as she ran.

I shook out my wings and Fang did the same. Then we jumped into the air, flapping hard to stay airborne. I scrutinized the forest. I saw Angel with the flag hanging from the branches of a tree; two campers from the Apollo cabin were pecking mindlessly at the ground near her, probably having a blast thinking they were chickens.

Near the border line I saw a bunch of smoke from a smoke bomb and Iggy and Gazzy laughing themselves silly in the branches of a tree while half the campers choked and gagged on the smoke.

I felt Fang tap my shoulder from above and he pointed to two things: one, Nudge weaving expertly through the trees with an arrow notched in her bow, leading a trail of Ares, Aphrodite and Demeter campers away from the flag. The other thing Fang was pointing at was the flag, mounted on top of a pile of rocks with Nico and two Athena campers.

Fang and I flew until we were behind the pile of rocks. Then I nodded at Fang and he gave a flicker of a grin that made my whole world a bit brighter. He flapped and went to fly right in front of Nico and the two Athena campers. He looked like a dark, handsome angel looking darkly and calmly at the campers. Wait, what? No, you didn't read that last sentence it was a figment of your imagination.

The Athena campers gave a cry and scampered away, nearly wetting themselves. I had to bite the inside of my cheek hard to not laugh. Nico took his sword and faced Fang, who had silently taken both of his swords out, not moving a muscle except or his wings.

This was where I came in. I scaled the rocks and grabbed the flag, just then Nico whirled around and I gave him a cheeky smile before spreading my wings and flying super speed to our territory. I landed right in front of a bunch of Apollo campers and they gave a shout, though I smiled and waved the flag which had turned into the Hermes cabin flag.

Angel, Iggy and Gazzy ran up to me and Angel threw her arms around me. Fang landed and Nudge materialized from behind a tree. By now, we were back at camp and Chiron was beaming at us.

"Well done!" he said. "Now Hermes is in possession of the flag." The Hermes cabin cheered while the Apollo cabin looked glum. Sore losers.

"Now everyb—" Chiron stopped midsentence to look up. All of the campers were also looking up and I felt my look drawn upwards. Above Gazzy's and Angel's head was a hologram of an owl. Then slowly, it began to disappear.

"Angelina and Peter have been claimed!" said Chiron, now looking pleased. "They are children of Athena."

The Athena cabin cheered and Angel and Gazzy actually looked excited.

I smiled happily at both them but inside my head my mind was turning. Angel and the Gasman had been claimed, but what about Fang, Nudge, Iggy and me? We'd already been here 2 weeks and we hadn't been claimed yet. I remembered Chiron saying how some demigods are never claimed, and I shuddered. I don't think I'd be able to survive living with the Hermes campers much longer, especially after the stunt the Stoll brothers had pulled this morning.

I shuddered. Trust me when I say this, it's not pleasant to wake up and feel a rat crawling up your arm. Of course, Fang found it terribly funny.

Chiron cleared his throat. "Maybe Max you can explain exactly what happened in the forest." I made my eyes as wide and innocent as possible.

"What are you talking about?" I said and Iggy snorted. Chiron gave me a pointed look and I sighed. Glancing at the Flock and getting affirmative nods, we all extended our wings. Boy, did I love the look on Percy's face.

"Interesting, I've never seen anything this unique," said Chiron as he looked at us. I resisted the urge not to snort. This was coming from the guy who was half horse.

"They look like Dedalous's wings," frowned Percy, Annabeth nodding. Chiron looked deep in thought.

"Well I must think about this," he said. "Until then, goodnight."

Slowly, the campers went back to their cabins and I watched as Annabeth led Angel and the Gasman to the Athena cabin.

I went back to the Hermes cabin with Fang, Iggy and Nudge. As I climbed into my sleeping bag, I threw a dirty glare at the Stoll brothers and they smiled nervously before looking around their bed for potential pranks. I smirked and Fang rolled his eyes.

That night, I had a strange dream. In it was a beautiful woman. She looked like a much younger version of my mom, only with pale skin, though her brown hair and warm brown eyes were still there.

She was dressed in Greek clothes, a long white robe with golden fastenings and sandals. She was talking to me but I couldn't hear anything. She looked at something behind her and I dimly heard someone shout, "All hail Hera, queen of the Gods!"

Hate it?? Love it?? Disappointed?? Please review!
