The girl with the green eyes knelt at Alissa's feet. This is why I'm the leader, Alissa thought. "Rise, Iris."
It was the first time the girl had been called by her codename. Her eyes gleamed with happiness as she stood to face her new leader.
"I swear, you will not regret this," Iris promised.
Alissa nodded. "I had better not."
There was a loud bang as the Protector burst into the room. "Winter! They found her!"
Alissa nodded again. "Do not execute her. She won't be able to live with the shame."
The Protector bowed his head and left.
Alissa turned to Iris. "Will you be our new spy at Camp Half-Blood?"
Iris's face lit up. "I would be honored," she replied.
