CHAPTER 4

🎯 I WIN A NEW GAME 🎯

RILEY

When I saw Bennie, I waited. Bennie cleared his throat.

" Annabeth told me to get you love birds." I didn't know if my face was redder or Justin's was. "What did she what to get us for?" My voice almost abandoned me. " She just said to meet the camp outside the woods." He told me. We walked outside to the woods. A kid from the Hermes cabin came to us. " Hey, tonight we're playing capture the flag. The Athena, the Zeus, the Hades, the Poseiden, and the Aphrodite cabin are playing against the other cabins." I was kind of upset that me and Bennie weren't on the same team. But, me and Justin just left Bennie with Conner Stoll. When I finally spotted Annabeth she was with some kids. One of them was Percy, Jason, and some other kids. I was about to wave to Annabeth when she pulled me. I was still was holding Justin's hand. " Riley, meet Piper," she said. She was gesturing to a girl about fifteen. She had choppy dark chestnut hair with eyes that changed color. Then Annabeth said," This is Frank. " He had a buzz cut and he looked like a baby sumo guy. And she gestured to a girl with golden eyes and fuzzy dark brown hair. " This is Hazel and this is Jason." And she fingered to a guy who looked a bit like Justin. I shook all their hands. " My name is Riley and this is my boyfriend Justin." Everybody said hi to us. "So, Piper what's all the commotion?" I asked.

" We're getting ready for capture the flag." Piper said nicely. "Do we use weapons?" Frank nodded. "Where do I get mine?" I asked. Annabeth whispered something to Percy. "Come with me Riley and you too, Justin." Justin and I followed him to the weapon shack. He opened the door to let me look. There were so many weapons. I looked up and down. When my eyes settled on a weird clip. It had a little sign on it.It had the sign of a girl on it. She had spiky black hair and had stormy blue eyes. When I turned around, Percy was looking at what I chose. "Nice choice Riley, now tap it very hard." I tapped hard with my pointing finger. It expanded within two seconds. It turn into a staff. But, instead of in having a Greek name, it had the word:

HEQUAT

I read it aloud then suddenly it gave out a weird little spark. And I said the only word I remembered in class. "Ha-di!" I pointed my staff at a piece of broken wood. It exploded

and turned into a pile of ashes. " No, way." I said. In my head I was thinking a lot. "How did you do that? Never mind." Then, justin came out with a sword it was all silver and goldish. He looked great with it. Without saying anything we walked to the woods. When Annabeth asked," What weapon did you get, Riley?" I told her," You'll see." I smiled. Then when I was with the girls, Annabeth asked what size armor I wore." A size five shall fit. Do we get to choose what armor we wear?" Hazel nodded. I looked at the two I was given. One was light and cute, while the other was thick but, light. I chose the one with the cute little one. Hazel was wear the other one. A horn sounded somewhere, Piper quickly strapped my armor. " Thanks" " Come on Riley! It's about to began!" We raced to the woods. That's when there was the guy I met before. He had a horse's body. He cleared his voice. The camp fell silent.
