"Ok," I said as we went over the plan, "So, the first place the Stills would think to hide the flag is between trees." I said. Heard Drew laugh and say, "How do you know?" Right now, I wasn't trying to be nice so all I said was shut up. To my surprise, she did. "Wait," Miranda said, "The Athena cabin would never put it there." I smirked. Wait, I NEVER do that! Ugh,the Stolls are rubbing off on me! Miranda and Lacy seem to notice it, because they glance at each other. It quickly melts off my face. "Anyway, that is exactly why they would put it by trees. Its the last place we would look." A lot of people looked at me, wondering where the real me was. "Leo, you've worked with Annabeth, maybe you can tell us what her backup plan would be like." He knew what I was referring to. "What I think, is that the Athena cabin wants to hide it where no one would think to look. The Ares cabin wants to do whatever it takes to win, and I was pestering Annabeth and Clairesse while they were talking, well, we happened to find cobwebs. Everywhere." Leo suppressed a psychotic smile. I gave a psychotic smirk. I knew the Aphrodite cabin was snickering, but I didn't care. "Ok, where did you find it?" He pointed behind the tree that Travis and Connor used to jump out and scare me at. "I have a slight idea of who is guarding it."

After dinner, we went to get ready. We were in setup and everything. The conch horn blew. I ran to the tree, tripping anyone who tried to stop me. Finally I reached it. Leo was right. There were cobwebs EVERYWHERE. "Had a slight idea you'd be the one to come." I heard Connor's voice say. I walked up to him until I was about a foot away. "Where is the flag? Tell me or else." Then I heard someone emerge from the bushes. "Or else what, Katie Kat? You gonna 'decapitate us'?" I saw the flag. It was ducktaped to the back of Travis's shirt, along with a kick me sign. "I might." I said. Connor must have been smart enough to back away. Travis looked at him for a second. I took that as my chance. I ripped the flag off his back and started to run. "Oh, you're not getting away that easily, Katie Kat." He yelled as he ran for me. Now he was at my heels. He tackled me. Apparently people had heard him yell and came. He pinned my down. "Give me the flag." I tried to squirm free. "No!" He shrugged and started tickling me. I said things like "stop" and "I hate you", but I still had the flag in a tight hug. Miranda finally did something and ran over. "Hey, Stoll!" She yelled. She distracted him long enough that I could get vines to wrap around his legs. "What the- hey!"my vines pulled him off. I stood up as more vines got to Connor, and wrapped around them both up to their necks. "Not funny!" Connor said. "Oh, its the same as you pranking me. I just turned the tables." Travis smiled. "Wow, Ka- KATIE LOOK OUT!!" As he said it a Hellhound jumped on me. It Clawed at my sides. Travis came up and stabbed it. The last thing I heard was him yell "KATIE" again, then I blacked out.
