"I agree." Chase replied, jumping the stream. When he landed he shouted. "Blue team wins!"

Faelin smiled and jumped the river as well. "What now?" She asked, looking around.

Chase waited. No one came, no one started celebrating. He dropped the flag and unsheathed his sword. Then whispered."Something's wrong."

"Well, you shouldn't expect them all to start running here. They don't know that we've won." Faelin said, but surveyed the area, just in case.

"No, you don't understand. There's always four people near the river. They're the ones who defend the river line. They're the ones who then signal the others at the end of a game."

Faelin froze, "Where were they when you went for a swim?"

Chase swollowed."Dunno." He hesitantly walked to one of the trees, then sped up it. He paused near the top and stood on one of the branches. It dipped slightly."I can't see anyone....." He turned around to face the Red Team's area and couldn't see anyone else.

Faelin brought out her sword and followed Chase. "Should we go back to camp?"

Chase jumped from the tree and landed lightly."Yeah, let's get Chiron."

Faelin nodded waited for Chase to leave for camp. She wasn't sure which direction camp was in.

Chase hurried through the forest and emerged near the Climbing Wall. He ran towards the Big House.

Faelin sprinted after him, noticing how quiet it was.

Chase reached the Big House and banged on the door. No one answered. He opened the door and peared in. It was pitch black.

Faelin grabbed Chase's shoulder before he could go in. "Don't you ever watch movies? Don't go in there." She said, jerking him away from the door.

"I've never had a T.V." Chase replied, pulling out of her grip and holding his sword up, it let off an eerie bronze glow.
