Chapter I
The meeting
As soon as the war ship was in the air, all the people looked at me, like I
was the leader. Oh ya thats right I am the leader, I hated it so much I
wanted to be like the other campers free, and no one looked at them like
they were leader, no one was looking for a way to topple them of their
thrown, and seize power for them selfs. Well accept the centurions.
“Centurions, I quick meeting in the Senate house please, after you take your
group back to their cornets, we'll have a quick war meeting, you have my
orders, now be gone.” they quickly field out of the Forum, then everybody was
gone until it was just me, my dogs, and ugh, Octavian
“Praetor, I told you that we could not trust those Greeks, or Percy and
Jason, you should of listened to me when I told you that the Greeks are not
to be trusted.”
“Yes, now do you have to rub it I my face, augur. Unfortunately you were..” I
struggled to get the words out of my throat.
Octavian beamed “Yes Praetor I was what.”
“How came we got the most annoying augur in the history of augurs, you
were right now shut up.” Octavian just smiled?
“ Now you sound absolutely like Percy, talking about the Greeks, what did you
talk to that girl- Annabeth about.
“Thats absolutely none of your business and if it was I still wouldn't tell you
or anyone else for that matter!!!!!!!!!! anger building in my voice though I'm not
sure why What we talked about must and will remain only between us, I
wouldn't even tell my sister, [actually I did but I wanted to get this kid of
my back], and I trust and know Annabeth enough to know that she'll not
disclose this information to any one on that ship, And so it must be kept
between us.” Octavian gave me this surprised look o his face.
“Are you still mad about Jason and the girl-Pi...” I was going to tell him to
3. not say her name in my camp or any were near me, but we interrupted by a
small knock on the door it was Dakota and the other centurions, did they over
hear our very private discussion, I don't know.
“YES, Dakota.”
“We-came-for-the-meeting” he said between sips of red cool aid, I was o angry
that I took the bottle from his mouth, and threw it in Octavian's very
surprised looking face.
“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCHHHHH
HHH.” He yelled with cool aid dripping from his face. After about 7 minutes
we got the meeting under way.
“As you all know of the incident that took place in the Forum not very long
from now, when Leo Valdez,, the son of Hephaestus fired on our New Rome
and my ex co- praetor Percy Jackson, Hazel Levesque, and Frank Zhang got
on the Argo II and ran away way, as I today they are now outlaws and any
of you who might run across them can kill them on site, and the others
Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace, and that Aphrodite girl, we can kill because
they were the alias of Leo Valdez who has fired on our city, augur I
understand that Leo had shone you around the ship, Who does it function?
Will it be easy or hard to take down? We need this kind of information so
that we can track them and destroy their wars ship or else the other option
will be their camp, and as my ex co- praetor Percy Jackson, and the girl
Annabeth Chase have disclosed the location to me, have a good night sleep my
friends cause tomorrow we march for Long Island, New York to burn down
camp-half-blood and loot them of their sword sand their treasury and make
their best warriors our slaves!!!!!!!!!!! and as for the traitors I have sent Bob
and Drake to go scouting for them now they should give us a states report
on were they are in they morning but for now good luck my friends. The
other Centurions cheered and Octavian actually smiled for the first time today
he seemed to agreed with my decision, actually I think it was the first time
should I be worried, cause all of the decisions that he had disapproved of in
the past had turned out to be great one 's what if the Greeks were better
than we give them credit for, what if they beat us what if....
“I was about to change into my PJ when a womans voice said behind me,
voice said, when my daughter are in doubt I say to them Doubt has no place
in my children's mind my dear, so why do I see it in yours.” I turned and
was face to face with a tall red- haired women, in a red hoodie and riped
red jeans, with red sneakers, and her red eyes stared into my black eyes. And
then her clothes changed to yellow so she had blond hair and yellow eyes
then they kept changing growing more and more beautiful. The women was
leaning on a man with fire for eyes and very very handsome when she looked
4. at the woman she felt ugly and useless and when she looked at them man she
felt angry and wanted to get into a fight right away. The man looked
familiar like she'd seen him before but were,
“Mom? I asked weird thought I never met my mom so I have absolutely no
idea how she looked like, was this her...
The woman giggled, and smiled sweetly, her smile looked identical to the one
Piper had given me when we first met, the smile sent two warning I'm a lot
power fuller than you think, and better not mess with my man or I shoot
you across the sky
“My dear I'm not your mom, and please don't call me her cause, I'll be so
offended, Bellona, no sense of style at all, I much rather prefer you,” she
looked at them man, who just smiled.
“I would much rather prefer you as my husband instead of that old, ugly
cripple, and my dear it's things like this that get you in trouble in the l-o-v-e
department, my dear can you believe she doesn't know who we are, didn't you
like come here as I told you to and like claim your son, or did I tell that to
Ares, hey who are you Ares or Mars, cause you better be Mars, cause Ares is
not that bright really, but Mars is so hot.
The man just grinned and looked at Reyna like, “ Can you believe she is this
beautiful and I stole her away from you Vulcan, HAHA, IN YOUR FACE.” sort
of look.
“You are lady Venus of love and Lord Mars of war.” I said
“Venus, I thought you said that you were Aphrodite” the god grumbled
“My you forget easily, I said that I'm both, now hush darling I want to talk
to the girl.” the goddess smiled kindly at me.
“My dear I'm sure this is weird but, … uh don't tell anyone about us visiting
you, K, and swear on the river Styx”
“UH, OK, I swear on the river Styx”
“Thats a very serious promise girl, if you break it you might as well kill
yourself, sure you soul will be cursed and stuff, but at least thats better than
internal torture, in Tartarus.,”
“My love stop scaring the girl, of cause she'll keep it she's the praetor of the
12th Legion, and she's Roman we Romans always keep our promises, unlike some
Greek godesses of love. The war god contributed
5. “What that supposed to mean!!!” The godess got a dangerous look in her eyes
“UHH, nothing just that when you promise somebody an Island you give them a
big one and not a little one, thats all, but we are here to talk to the girl
and not about our... uh personal problems.” Mars said nervously and sort of
relived, was that a smile on his face?
“ Great we are here to tell you that to get in to the Greeks camp is very
hard, and you should stop this foolishness and support them in their war
against Gaea and the giants, and oh to enter the cam p is very difficult and
if you want to end up a dragons lunch you can try to enter, oops probably
gave too much info, my dear, remember keep it between us, sleep well and also
about my daughter remember our... uh little talk in Charlton bay, since she
doesn't really appreciate my fashion advice, try looking there cause I have a
feeling there going there and keep an eye out for Chase follow her and you'll
get to know more abut her, and good night, and I gave your PJ a little... uh
make over you might call it. Ariva mon Ami”
There was a flash of pink and the godess disappeared, leaving the room
smelling like perfume, so now it was only me and Mars in the room.
“Sweet, you might be wondering why I'm... uh hanging out with a Greeks
godess well because I want you guys to well... damage camp-half-blood like
what Valdez did to this one but try not to destroy it too much or else I
wont get any more sweet sugar kisses from Aphrodite/Venus, these must only
be kept between us what I'm about to tell you, so swear on the river Styx.”
I did
“Sweet, now to get in to Camp-half-blood you have to get permission to enter
the camp boundaries, this is the little info that I could get from
Aphrodite/Venus, any way you know your little ex has a sister you is traveling
to Camp-half-blood right now there are in Boston so you need to live today
find the Argo II, and you can decide what to do with the ship after all you
are the praetor, so after you find the ship if it doesn't work at then go and
find Thalia Grace in Boston with her Hunters you need to tell them that you
are Roman, and don't tell them that you plan to destroy their camp cause
that will get into possible death, and don't try fighting them ever cause they
have the blessing of Dianna/Artemis and could kill you if they sense trouble,
they'll fall upon you like hounds and tear you to pieces.”
I nodded
“Please try to not kill Frank and his friends maybe just scare them a little
but don't harm them in any way it'll be most appreciated by me, and if you
6. can get to convince your legion that'll also be most appreciate by me,
THANKS SWEET, and as the French say or Spanish whatever, Adios, until
next time.”
óóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóó
Then I closed my eyes and hit the sack as Percy used to say, traitor I had
to remember that, He had even like turned me down for that girl. I mean well
not really they had already been dating so he hadn't really turned me down,
and as much as I wanted to hate Annabeth I couldn't help admiring her
wisdom and when she had judo flipped Percy into the air I had to do all I
could to hold back my laughter, the Romans would of found that weird and
disrespectful. I had to admit I was sort of jealous of Annabeth and her
relationship with Percy, and Jason and “That-love-girl”...anyway I laid my head
on my pillow and went to sleep.
Óóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóóó
There was a knock on my door and Gwen came in, me and Gwen had gotten
close ever since Juno toke Jason away she was the only person (well and
Hazel but... traitor.) that I really opened up to and that why when Octavian (
I knew it was his harpoon) had thrown that harpoon at her I was really sad
to think that she was dead, but I was kind of glad that the doors-of-death
were open so that she didn't stay dead and when Thantos was relied he had
given her a second chance to live.
“urm, Reyna, urm praetor, Reyna, ugh whatever I mean, it time for to start
the invasion.” she began to leave, but I called
“Gwen it okay come in and sit a while, and urm... close the door behind you.”
“Sure” she said a little more relaxed, but still a little nervous.
“Gwen, urm your moms like Venus right?” I asked nervously, she took sometime
to answer and started playing with a purple locket around her neck and it
had the letters G+B, was that from her dad or somebody else? if my mom
knew that I was nervous what would she do comfort me, or say that a Roman
should never be nervous?
“Yes praetor, Venus is my mom.” she said still playing with the locket, I
wondered who could of given it to her, if Jason was still here would he give
me one, but he was gone, and the other boys here where horrible, Dakota,
please I would rather die then get a locket or any other present from a kid
obsessed with red-cool-aid and looked like a vampire, Octavian or please no I
would rather have Vulcan give me a present and coming from me that was
saying a lot... Bob, well maybe..., apart from Jason he and I had sort of grown
7. close he was the first person that I had met after me and Hylla escaped
from the pirates, we had sort of had a fling,
Which had sort of started rummers cause he was the centurion of the 1st
consort,then we started dating for like 4 months but then I went on a quest
with Jason and him, then me and Jason started getting close and I guess he
(Bob) saw this cause he started releasing it and then we had arguments and
then just as I was about to dump him he (well sort of embarrassing to admit)
but he dumped me, I mean he dumped me and then I guess that we never quit
talked after that, if we saw each other we just turned the other way. Then
we git back to Camp and me and Jason became co-praetors and were about
to start dating when Juno/Hera took him away and when I thought she had
also given me a second chance with Percy, but when I talked to him before
his quest he had shot me down I was so angry with him.
“Thats ok so you are like related to that Piper girl on a way.” I asked
suddenly. I think that I scared the poor girl cause she was so nervous that
she pulled the locket of her neck and it snapped. I picked it up and was about
to give it to her when I noticed the writing under G was written Gwen and
under B oh my gods!!! I almost died under B was written Bob. G+B, Gwen +
Bob, there were dating thats why she had been acting so weird around me
this days thats why she had been so relacted to leave when ever I was close
to her that why her and Bob had been closer than ever after they went on
a quest that brought them so close.
“I've got to go” Gwen grabbed the locket and ran out before I had a chance
to respond, but as she ran a picture fell out and I (no intension to be snoopy
believe me, I couldn't care less) picked up the picture it was Gwen and Bob
in there swimsuits and it looked like Bob was pushing her into the pool. I took
the picture and head out to my room and talked with Mr. Over-protective-of-
city-statue-with-no-arms aka Terminus to protect the city with the people of
New Rome in it and a few of the campers.
Gwen
9. Chapter II
Warming up.
I ran out of that room as fast as I could, I mean when your praetor asks you
who your mother is. When you know full well that your moms a certain-
goddess of love whose other daughter practically stole her second boyfriend.
Well I didn't want to die and believe me I knew how it feels like too die and
I don't want to go through that again it's a horrible feeling. I ran and jumped
on my bed crying I dried about 5 minuets and then I fell asleep.
In my dreams I was with Bob in the backyard of his mom's house, I
remembered it it was in the summer after we had finished school, I was an
11th grade, and he was a 12th grader, and were about to go to Camp the
next day together cause we lived in the same street, and our parents (my dad
and his mom) were close friends and were both actor and were staring in a
Romantic Comedy, and were sort of dating so they got together a lot, usually
they wanted sometime alone, but today the brought their kids along to “get to
know each other better” this was the first time they had really talked sure
they were sort of friends but they didn't really talked he was in 12 grade
and she was in 11th grade they had a few classes together but they didn't
really see much of each other.
“Hey, urm Gwen right” Bob had asked coming out of the house in his blue and
green trunks, which looked super cute and matched his blue eyes and with his
long black hair falling down his shoulder he looked super cute, and he had his
shirt of so all I was staring at was his muscles and abs, his skin was tanned
and it looked super golden, but his eyes had a dangerous edge in it like his
dad the god of war, but they were much kinder in it. 5
“yes, you must be Bob.”
“Yeah, so you like want to go for a swim or something.”
“Sure” he let me inside the house it looked almost similar to mine ecept that
his was golden instead of white
