“Dude, you’re crazy.” The new kid said.
“I’m not crazy, I’m an inspiration.” My brother Luke told him.
“Sure you are… where did you say we were again?”
“Demi-god Heaven, It’s a summer camp in Colorado. And before you ask, No you cannot leave. Lilliana, can you come over?”
“Sure Luke,” I called over to my brother. The new guy’s mouth dropped just like Luke knew it would. I was the second prettiest girl in the camp, but everyone said I was a disgrace. I was dating a fellow nerd. Yes, you heard me right, I’m a nerd. I jogged over to where my brother was standing with this new guy, I had my sword in my hand, and it scared the new guy.
“Hi my name is Lilliana, and I wanted to say welcome to the camp, you came on a great night… Wednesdays and Fridays we play capture the flag where we try to kill each other. You are so lucky.” I smiled and jogged off.
He was doomed if he didn’t know how to fight, because tonight was a fight to the grave.
“Lil! Chiron needs to see you... like right NOW!” Lyra called. I nodded and jogged off towards the archery range.
This was a normal day at our summer camp. We always were getting new campers and new activities.
“Lilliana, hurry up, we have to talk at the apartment.” Chiron called me. I jogged over to where Chiron was standing.
“You called for me Chiron?” I asked him when I met up with him at the apartments.
“Yes, I need you to do me a favor. Someone wanted to transfer camps, and we want you to go pick them up. You went to their camp for six years, and we thought that it only seemed right for you to go pick them up.” Chiron said.
“Yes sir,” I replied. The van and a new camper were waiting for me.
I was taken to a camp that I went to for six years. Everyone that knew me from then was all cheering and was bouncing around.
“Lil! What’s up little freak,” My cousin Jordan said when he saw me.
“Picking up a camper Jordan… I thought that a senior camper like you would have known that.” I told him.
“Ah Chiron the third doesn’t tell me much. So I didn’t know.” Jordan said kissing my forehead. Chiron the third came out of a small cabin.
“Ah Lilliana, there you are. Chris, are you ready yet?” Chiron the third said. A boy with dark brown hair and glasses came out.
“Yes Chiron.” He said. I should say something before I forget again. There are six centaurs named Chiron. They all run a Greek summer camp. It gets confusing, but you’ll get it later.
The boy looked at me and his mouth dropped. That’s a normal reaction for guy at our camp.
“Come on… I do have to keep a schedule you know… and I’m running late.” I said annoyed. Jordan kissed my forehead and jogged off.
“He’ll be seeing you sooner than you think Lilliana.” Chiron the third said. The boy got in the back of the van and sat down. When I sat down, he kissed my hand and started reading a book.
We got closer to our camp, and he put his book away.
“My name is Chris, and I think that you’re beautiful… to bad Jordan seems to have dibs.” The boy said.
“Jordan doesn’t have dibs, I have a boyfriend and he respects that. Jordan is my cousin. He doesn’t like me like that.” I told Chris.
“Sure he doesn’t… he kisses you just because.” Chris said.
“Whatever, I have to think.” I said turning away from him. I ignored the boy until we got to the camp. “Who’s you’re father?” I asked him.
“My father is Hermes.” He said.
“You’re in cabin seven.” I said pointing to the cabin. He walked off towards the cabin.
“Lilliana, how was my little brother Jordan?” asked my cousin Cassandra.
“Sad that I couldn’t stay,” I told her.
“I’m not crazy, I’m an inspiration.” My brother Luke told him.
“Sure you are… where did you say we were again?”
“Demi-god Heaven, It’s a summer camp in Colorado. And before you ask, No you cannot leave. Lilliana, can you come over?”

“Lilliana, how was my little brother Jordan?” asked my cousin Cassandra.
“Sad that I couldn’t stay,” I told her.
“Figures, he really loves you,” She said.
“Sure he does.” I said laughing. I smelt the air. It smelt of burning plastic, and I would know what that smells like. “Fire!” I yelled.
“What?” Cassandra asked me.
“Someone is burning plastic, and whoever it is, is here in our camp.” O told her.
“Oh shit.” She said seeing a cabin in flames. It was cabin seven.
“I’m going to see what happened, and maybe put it out.” I told her as I jogged off. Cassandra rolled her eyes and retread to her cabin. Ok I should explain something about our cabins. The children of Zeus and Poseidon share a cabin, and then all the other cabins host only one god. It gets confusing sometimes. My brothers Luke and Nathan, were both trying to extinguish the fire, it wasn’t working though. Each time they shot water at the fire, the fire would actually grow. It was a prank from the god of thieves and his kids. Great, we had a fire and three new campers. Tonight we were supposed to play capture the flag, and I was going to go insane.
“Lilliana,” my boyfriend Sean called.
“I’m a bit busy right now, so unless you know how to put this fire out, shut up.” I called.
“I know how to put it out, acid.” He said.
“If you didn’t notice, we don’t have any acid.” I told him. He threw a liquid at part of the fire and the fire quit burning.
“Really, you had acid and you didn’t tell us before.” I said annoyed. He finished putting the fire out. He kissed me and whispered in my ear. I’m not telling you what he said though, so don’t ask. Chiron the second called for Luke and Sean. They both went up to the apartment. Luke came back later, and called a few guys. I ignored just about everyone. Don’t ask why. Sean came back about two hours after Chiron called for him.
“Lilliana, shouldn’t you be preparing for war games?” he asked me.
“I’m done preparing, I’m ready.” I told him. He glared and went to finish his practicing. This is one of the reasons that I was always my team’s captain. Luke took me to the cabin, and we talked for awhile. The conch horn blew and it was time for dinner. Luke grabbed his knife and we left. At dinner, everyone was talking about how this was going to be the bloodiest capture the flag game ever.
The teams were made up of different cabins each week, and this week, it was Zeus, Poseidon, Hermes, Hades, Ares, Athena, Apollo, and Nike made up the blue team. The red team was made up of Hephaestus, Iris, Nemesis, Demeter, Dionysus, Hecate, Tyche, and Hebe’s cabins.
Our team had both war gods on it. Luke, Sean, Cassandra, and I always went for the flag, while everyone else was our flags guards. Luke and I were side by side fighting. Luke stabbed someone making all my opponents go after him. I ran to grab their unguarded flag. Our team now had their flag, and we were winning. The conch shell was blown signaling the end of the game. The blue team won. Now we had to heal our wounded. And there was a lot. At camp fire, the wining team was all cheering and dancing around. Cassandra kissed Luke, and he slapped her. A guy from the Hermes cabin handed me a green bag. In it was sour skittles. I handed him some money and walked away.
