"Percy?" Asteria questioned walking into the cabins joint bathroom - as she examined the water all over the place

"Asteria i can explain , i swear i didn't mean to do this" Asteria almost looked amused hearing this seems like Percy was discovering some of his powers

Footsteps could be heard approaching- the blonde girl turned around clutching her side pocket just in case "Oh." She said blankly realizing it was Annabeth

"Wait i know you" Percy said finally acknowledging Annabeth. - Asteria was almost curious on what was gonna happen

"You where there the night in the infirmary" Percy recalled, of course Annabeth had also been there that night

"Im Annabeth" Percy automatically went to assuming "Are you stalking me Annabeth?"

"Jeez your still with your stalking" Asteria said her tone laced with sarcasm - "Give it a break Asteria, im just trying to get more people for Capture the flag" Annabeth shot back

Asteria was shocked at her response "No. but hope you don't mind but me and Percy have to get back to Hermes cabin" She gave Annabeth a smile, before taking Percys hand

"Thank you, seriously i thought i was gonna get murdered like all those stalking cases" Percy sighed after his rant "Your welcome? Annabeth wouldn't dare to do such thing"

"She knows better" She remarked her brother words - Asteria looked down to see her and Percy's hands still intertwined

She opened the door of the cabin quietly everyone was probably asleep by now "Goodnight Percy" She whispered still holding his hand "Goodnight" He replied his cheeks turning a shade of pink before the girl let go and walked away

❥༄ ─

Asteria shot out of bed "Shit" She cursed under her breath "Asteria we don't got all day to wait for you to finish getting ready"

"Im going, you know waking me up earlier would've been nice" She yelled back before quickly changing and somehow managing to have time to brush her teeth

"That only took what? like 6 minutes" Luke rolled his eyes fixing the girls hair "6 minutes and yet you still forgot to fix your hair" Luke laughed as Asteria elbowed his ribs

After walking for awhile they finally made it to the base "Percy let me explain somethings"

"Annabeth the head counselor of the Athene Cabin, she left our team to three straight wins" Luke pointed towards Annabeth

"She was there in the bathroom" Percy looked at Asteria "She said she'd been waiting for it to happen, you can ask Asteria she was there" Asteria cursed under her breath as Percy exposed where she was last night

Asteria simply nodded her head as Luke gave her a stare "Whose side are you on, anyway?" Percy questioned Luke, Asteria already knew the answer to that

"Hers, always. She's my little sister" Percy looked at Luke and Asteria in a confused expression "They aren't related by blood, they are related by bond" Asteria clarified the confusion

"It's time" Chiron's voice echoed catching everyone's attention "The game begins"

"The first team to retrieve the opposing flag and return it across the river shall be the victor. As always, there will be no maiming and no killing." Chiron repeated the rules everyone seemed to be bored "Let the games begin"

"Percy stay close and follow us" Asteria followed Annabeth "I thought you guys hated eachother" Percy whispered "Depends on the day" Asteria shrugged, as she heard a thud next to her

"The game just started come one" She sighed helping Percy up - he gave her a smile as a thank you "Im fine thanks for standing there silently"

Percy continued with his rant about wanting to win, No one was listening really. Asteria looked at Annabeth who looked like she was trying not to laugh

The second conch shell blew and Annabeth nodded at Asteria it was time. Annabeth put on her cap before disappearing "Get used to it" Asteria mumbled furrowing her brows seeing footprints in the sand

"I guess we just follow her" Asteria shrugged adjusting her shield to protect her "Follow her? you cant even see her!" Percy exclaimed with confusion, Asteria pointed at the path "The footsteps, we follow the footsteps"

"You mean the footsteps that just disappeared" Percy raised an eyebrow "You got to be kidding me" Asteria groaned in annoyance "I didn't think they would actually go through with this"

"I guess it just me and you" Percy had a faint smirk on his face "So when's your birthday" Percy asked as Asteria smiled "Seriously? That's what your gonna ask me"

"Well if we are stuck together i might as well get to know you"

"Fair enough, August 20th" She admitted as Percy smiled "Mines August 18th" He told her as her cheeks where tinted pink "Just two days older than me"

"Yep you make me feel so old" Percy laughed as Asteria hit his arm "Percy" Asteria whispered looking at the forest she could she the opposite team approaching

"Get your things" She told him and he did it before coming back and getting in front of her shielding them in a way "Don't freak out but that's Clarisse"

"Glorys fine but revenge is more fun" Clarisse spear crackled "Getting straight to the point" The group slowly approached the pair

"No maiming, its like the one rule"

"Careful" Asteria ducked down pulling Percy down with her "I'll handle these two" She told him pulling out her spear which quickly got knocked out of her hand "Screw you" Asteria yelled

"Run" Percy whispered shouted taking Asterias hand before making a run for it "Why does everything have to involve almost dying!" Asteria jumped over a log "Watch out" She warned before Percy got knocked over the ledge

"Just my luck" Asteria cursed under her breath before getting down the ledge "Blocking us in classic move Clarisse"

Asteria quickly hit their shield with her spear as Percy helped her before he broke Clarisse's spear "No!" Clarisse yelled before grabbing and pushing Percy

"You good?" Asteria questioned as Percy had some blood on him after all they did put up a good fight "Im fine, but are you good"

"Yeah" She mumbled before helping Percy up "Good job, both of you i guess" Annabeth said coming out of nowhere

"No because you disappeared the whole time and now you wanna come back" Asteria shouted "You were here the whole time and you didn't help us?"

"Listen im sorry"

"Sorry for what?" Asteria questioned before Percy got shoved into the water "What's your problem Annabeth he didnt do anything!"

"Whats wrong with you!" Percy got up before realizing all his wounds where healing "Your getting claimed, your dads calling"

"You have been claimed by Poseidon, Earthshaker, Stormbringer. Percy Jackson son of Poseidon" Chiron announced
