Capture the Flag Chapter 9

Sophia's POV

'My turn. Hmm… who should I ask?' I wondered as I looked around at the circle of demigods. 'Wait… Reyna and Nico are staring very intently at each other. Are they a couple? I don't think so yet.' I analyzed. Analyzing was a skill of mine I had developed during the darkest part of my life.

(Flashback- 2 years ago. Sophia, age 12)

"Just get out!" My step-dad yelled at me. He had been drinking again, and this time, he was mad. I packed a small bag and left. I made my way to the park, where I planned to sit work out what I was going to do.

Luckily, it was summer vacation and I didn't have to go to school. I went to my friend, Jessie Goldman's house.

"Could I stay at your house for a few days? My dad…"

Jessie understood. "I'll ask my mom."

She went inside for a few minutes, and came inside with her mom.

"Of course you can stay," Mrs. Goldman said.

I stayed for a few days, but I felt bad about being a burden on Jessie's family. I made up a story about my dad letting me come home, and I left. I took a bus to the next city and found a full-time job at the library. It was enough to rent out a small apartment.

Since I was so young, while I lived alone, many people tried to take advantage of me. It was during this time I learned the skill of analyzing.

I met my friend Amanda Leaf when I turned 13. That was the time monsters started to find me. She was a demi-god too, and she recognized that I was too a half-blood. She took me to Camp Half-Blood, and that's where I am today.

I analyzed that Nico and Reyna liked each other, but they weren't together yet. I can change that though…

"Truth or dare, Nico?"
'Please pick dare. Please pick dare.' I thought.

"Dare."

"I dare you to kiss Reyna."

Nico's POV

Fudge.

"Reyna? Is that okay with you? I can just take the consequence."

"No, it's fine." Reyna replied with a smile on her face.

We kissed. It was a quick kiss, but at the same time, it was amazing.

After that, the game started to wind down. "Last two," Percy said. "Go, Will."

"Truth or dare, Katie?" Will asked.

"Truth." Katie.

Will had an evil smile. "Would you go out with Travis if he asked?"

"Well… yes." She said quietly. "Truth or dare, Sophia?"

"Truth."

"Would you go out with Will if he asked?"

"Yes" Sophia answered.

"Okay, game's over." Percy said. "Let's get some sleep."

The next day I found Reyna. "Can we talk about what happened last night?"

"Sure."

"Follow me." I took her to Thalia's tree and we sat down. "Well…"
