Lillith crept up through the tree, closely followed by Nico and the five demigods that made up the Nike cabin. Lillith had her daggers by her side, they were close to the red teams flag now they were in the enemies territory and knowing the Athena cabin they would be some other line of defend between them and their flag. The moon was coming up into the sky now making it a little hard to see but Lillith had never had problems seeing at night. She could see at night just as well as she could in the day. One of the Nike boys snapped a twig behind them. Nico and Lillith both tensed ready for an attack that never came. They continued to walk forward still looking for an attack but that was when Lillith smelt it. The smell of Demigods. There were several and they were approaching fast. Lillith turned around and grabbed Nico pulling him down into the bush. Nico landed on top on her.

"Lillith what are..." Lillith put her hand on his mouth making him be quiet.

"Shh." She said pushing him off her. Nico turned his head away from her trying to contain his blush but her couldn't. Lillith and Nico lay in the bush and heard clashing of swords just outside. The sound shocked Nico, she knes. Lillith knew that they were there and that's why she hid him.

"You knew?" He said looking at her.

"Yeah I could smell them." Then Lillith looked at his face. "Are you blushing?" She said with a smile.

"N-No." He denied.

"Come on. Let's get that flag." She said as the two stood back up and continued to move towards the flag. Nico nudged her and pointed to a small clearing through the trees. There on a rock stood a red flag with an owl on it. "That's it." Lillith was about to do out when a group of Athena kids came back into the clearing.

"We can't get that far away from the flag again. It's illogical and Annabeth will get mad." Said one of the boys.

"Yeah but we had to take out those Nike kids. They were too close to getting to the flag."

"I don't think that will be the only ones that try to sneak up though. The Nike kids looked like they were following someone, there will be more. Keep an eye out." Said a blond haired girl.

"Chloe go get Annabeth. We need to think of a better plan. They have four layers of defence on their flag we can't get through not to mention Percy is trying to fight of like the whole of the Ares cabin by himself." Said one of the boys and the girl named Chloe ran off into the trees.

"This plan is too smart for the Ares kids they must have a new kid in the Hermes cabin that's really smart."

"An Athena kid?" Questioned one of the boys.

"No there are still floors in the plan. The thing is we weren't expecting them to have such a good plan. Annabeth thought we could win with a simple one. We can win, there are floors but we need to regroup and think of another one but by now our team is too scattered." Lillith looked at Nico, he smiled at her from the side and without talking he faded into the shadows. The plan was already clear for both of them. They had to take out the five Athena kids before Annabeth gets back. When she gets there they won't be able to win. Lillith couldn't win against Annabeth anyway, Nico might stand a chance but it was easier for them to strike now. Once Nico had faded Lillith stood up and walked out of her hiding spot. The five Athena kids prepared themselves for battle. Lillith held her daggers in hand and spun them both. Could she really take down 5 Athena kids by herself? She can try, she had some training from the child of death and Amber had taught her some rather dirty tricks she could use to win, then there was her power. She had spent the whole afternoon practising how to control it. She hadn't been able to do much more than summon a breeze but she was counting on the adrenaline she was feeling to help her summon more than just that tiny breeze.

"You guys really are smart. The Nike kids were following me I lead them to your flag."

"Well it's five to one now. The likelihood of you winning is very slim." Said one of the boys with a cocky smile.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Then without warning one of the Athena girls charged at Lillith. Lillith easily dodged the attack, bent down low and sliced at the girls ankle. The fell to the floor and didn't get back up. Amber taught her that trick, cut the ankle tendons, then they can't get back up to fight. The other four looked shocked that she had taken her down so easily. Then all hell broke loss. Two of them decided to fight her at the same time. They fought in a synchronised motion but with the skills she picked up from Nico Lillith was able to keep up. She was dodging and blocking their attacks but she couldn't defeat them in such a close range and for her to use her little trick she would have to take the other two out with them. She had to get all four of them close enough to her. Lillith ducked under one and ran at the remaining two. They were confused at why she was fighting them when she two that had just attacked her were undefeated. The other two that were behind her came up behind her and the four all pointed their swords at her.

"It would be best if you just surrendered now. That's the logical move." Said one of the boys.

"Don't talk to me about logical." Lillith said. She gathered the anger inside her and then bent down and slammed her fist into the ground. A massive gust of sharp wind blew from where her fist met the ground and the Athena kids that surrounded her flew backwards and laid still on the floor...
