Claimed
The next morning it was the day for capture the flag. I was excited. Chris was impressed with my skills in archery and sword play. The look on his face was priceless. Ruby gave me a bracelet. If I touched anything to it it would shrink into a charm and attach itself.
Then it was time for capture the flag. I was placed on offense. I used my powers to my advantage. I jumped, dodged, slashed and grabbed. I found the flag easily and grabbed it. The other team was still after me. I ran with the flag in my hand. Fast enough to get away but slow enough to not expose my powers.
"Almost at the boundary line." I said to myself, just as I crossed I noticed something glowing above my head. I had been claimed. I screamed. The flag changed. It turned silver with a moon and bow on it. I was the daughter of Artemis. Panicking, I quickly touched the flag to my bracelet and it shrank into a charm just as the victory horn sounded. I began to cry. I already had one huge secret to keep and now I had to keep another. I could hear cheering as my teammates ran towards me. I did the only thing I could. I ran, sobbing. I ran to my old cabin, packed up my stuff and ran to the one place no one could find me or think to look. My mother's cabin. As I was leaving I heard the shouts and footsteps of the other campers. I quickly entered my mother's cabin. I made sure all possible entrances were closed and locked. For the door I used the flag as a barrier. I sat against the door and listened.
" Her stuff is gone." I heard one of the Stoll brothers say,
" Where could she have gone?" Chris said, I had to fight the urge to run outside.
" She couldn't be very far, not this quickly." I heard Annabeth say,
" We should search the camp for her and meet back here in an hour." Percy said,
" I can't lose her again." Chris sobbed, I really wanted to run out and say 'You didn't' but I couldn't without showing them who my mother is and I had to keep it a secret. I didn't want to embarrass her or make her feel shame. I didn't want that. So I stayed put.
"We'll find her Chris, don't worry." Rona said, when they were gone I realized how dark it was in the room. I used my powers to light up the room and actual lights turned on. The room was completely white. It was made of marble. I noticed something odd. A handprint was carved into the marble by the statue. I walked toward it and placed my hand on it. Nothing happened. I tried again with my moon light powers and it worked. The statue moved to reveal a hidden staircase in the floor. I figured it would move back over top of me, so I took the flag from the door and walked down the staircase, my powers still in effect. As I thought, the statue moved back over top of me. When I was able to see without my powers I shut them off. There was a light in the ceiling. I looked around the room. it had a wood floor and walls that showed what was happening outside the cabin in real time. There was a table with nine chairs around it. One had a moon on it, two others on each side of me had an owl, next to one of them a chair with a trident, the next one a spear, the next a gold nugget, the next a dove, the next a storm cloud, the next fire and then we were back at the owl. I realized each one was for a specific person. I sat in the chair with the moon and a lot happened at once. The dust and grime cleared. Plates, silverware and cups appeared, a bunch of bookshelves filled with books appeared along with couches and chairs for reading in one area of the room and a door appeared under a carving of the moon. I realized that there were carvings of each symbol on the chairs, on the walls. I looked back at the door and opened it. Inside was a bedroom. It was the most beautiful bedroom I've ever seen. It had a wood tile floor and walls painted a vanilla white with windows that showed what was happening outside the cabin in real time. There was a king size bed with red blankets and white pillows and a frame of dark wood that was carved with stags and wolves. There was a desk made of dark wood and a matching chair with a red cushion. And a dresser made of wood a bit lighter than the desk and bed. Inside was already filled with clothes that were my size. There was also a huge bookshelf filled with books. English, Greek and French. Did I mention I speak French? I suppose I didn't. Anyway, Yeah there was a bookshelf. And there was another door. through that door was a bathroom with marble floors and a white and silver tub, sink and toilette. there was a mirror too. back in the room with the table I found another door with a padlock. It had no code so I decided that the code would be 4 7 3 5. inside was an armory, with celestial bronze weapons and nine armor stands. One of them already had armor. It was my super suit but without a hood and mask. Also it was made of metal. back in the table room, I found another door next to the exit. It had a sign that said, This is an exit that ends up in the woods of the camp. To get to the camp from the exit just walk straight ahead. I found this info important. I walked back towards the table and sat in my chair. A note appeared:
