Preyna
Hello everyone! I am WovenFromMoonlight, the sister of WarriorAngelReads.
Here is a note from her:
Hi people of the world. I have stopped writing and posting because my parents do not allow me to do it anymore. However, I will be replying, reviewing, and reading fanfictions. I am really glad for the support I have gotten over the almost 2 months I have been writing, and it makes me smile at the thought of them. To those who really like my stories, I sincerely apologize. I hope you all continue to be awesome.
~WarriorAngelReads
THIS IS IMPORTANT!
The stories I will be writing about will be a story based on couples from Heros of Olympus. Like my sister, I really like cheesy romantic stories. You can PM me about couples.
Here are the rules for them:
No gay or lesbian couples
No inscet
You can submit, but I might reject it
No main characters with other characters, not including Calypso (ie. Travabeth)
YES! I HAVE SEEN THOSE, BUT NEVER READ THEM
No three way romance
No added characters couples, unless breakup then go to main character
No Percy and primordials, but yes Percy and Olympians
Same goes for the others
MOST IMPORTANT RULE! NO JASONxBRICK! THAT SHIP IS THE WORLD'S MOST STUPID
No PercyxHuntresses, count out dead ones that come back to life and Thalia
Last thing, if you do a SammyxHazel ship, it will not work….
That's all! If you like the stories, and you review, that will be really helpful. If one couple gets more that 10 favorites, I will be really happy to write more about it.
This is my first story, so can you please not be so hard on this? If you catch any mistakes, please write the two lines before it, rewrite the sentence to have no mistakes, and PM it to me.
Thanks!
This is about Preyna.
One more thing, I do not own Percy Jackson, or the Heros of Olympus. Rick Riordan does.
Percy POV
A thousand curses on Jason Grace. I lost Annabeth to him.
*-* Flashback*-*
I remember walking in on them. I had been away to visit and help New Rome on some things. To be more specific, praetor things. Frank has resigned his post to spend more time with Hazel, and Reyna was, once again, shouldering the work of one praetor position. I couldn't understand how she couldn't crack under the pressure, for Reyna always stayed calm, organized, ready. I couldn't get it.
Anyways, I came back home, and I was ready to see Annabeth. A week of helping Reyna with her praetor work really made my head spin. However, that came at a cost.
My loyalty for Annabeth started to waver.
Yeah, I know what you are thinking. Wow, I thought that your flaw was loyalty, blah blah…..
It's probably Aphrodite messing my life up. Wait, you agree as well?! Finally someone who listens to me.
I came back home, and I had forced myself to block all the lovey dovey thoughts about Reyna, and I walked over the Athena cabin. I gently knocked on the door, and her brother answered.
"Where is Annabeth?" I asked, and he replied she was talking to Rachel and Jason. I walked over, however, apparently that was not what happened.
I walked in Annabeth and Jason kissing. I gasped, and they noticed me. Annabeth saw me, and pushed Jason off of her.
"Are you not going to give your girlfriend a kiss?" Annabeth asked in a pouty voice, coming toward me.
"GIRLFRIEND?! IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU LOVE JASON NOT ME!" I yelled, and Jason just stood there, watching all the drama unfold, a satisfied/smug/whatever smirk planted on his face, arms crossed. I whirled around like a tornado, and stormed away. Annabeth ran after me, and tried to grab my arm.
"Percy, please. I don't want it to be this way." she begged, and I gave her a look of anger.
"Then why did I walk into the room to find that?" I asked, voice low, careful to restrain my anger.
"The sea does not like to be restrained." my father said years ago. It's true, but I needed to keep my anger in check.
"I…," Annabeth started, but faltered, "I couldn't help myself. I had thoughts of jealousy clouding me. When I was talking to Rachel and Jason, Rachel suddenly pulled me aside and told me that she foresaw something ahead on a relationship.
'It's something that will change you.' she said, and I really believed it. When Rachel left, Jason just pushed me against a wall, and I couldn't help myself."
This confirmed it. Aphrodite was probably messing me up, messing my love life up.
Aphrodite POV
This is so cute! Hmmmm, I wonder what I should do with my dear Piper. I should leave her with Jason, Jason has no regrets kissing Annabeth, he never tells Piper, Annabeth never tells Piper, no one tells her, Percy gets put with Reyna.
Perfect plan!
Hold on, you're listening?! I made your brain spin? What? Is that possible?
Anyways, this plan is perfect.
Percy POV
I left Camp Half-Blood to visit my Mom and Paul. I ran home, and I there were three people of the family in there. My little sister was born. I smiled, and I came in silently. I could hear her cooing and crying from the front, Mom playing with her, feeding her baby formula.
"Mom," I said, poking my head through a crack in the door, "I'm home."
"Percy!" she yelped, "You startled me."
I just grinned, and I came in. I didn't really notice the decoration, or where my room was. My parents have turned my room into a nursery. Well, to be more specific, half of my room was painted baby pink, and had baby things over there. I didn't mind, however.
"This is your little sister. Paul and I haven't decided on a name yet." Mom said, and I sat down on on the floor next to her. My little sister looked at me with her large, innocent brown eyes, curious on what I am. I laughed, and asked if I could hold her. Mom said yes, and I took my little sister from her arms, and held her in my arms. In my opinion, it made me smile. She reached out with her tiny, chubby little arm to swat my chin. Her little arm couldn't reach me, but this made me smile nonetheless. My watched beeped, a new one that Tyson gave me, and I had to go. I handed my sister to Mom.
"Bye Mom, bye little sister." I said, giving them each a hug. I stood up, and I walked out the door, only to hesitate to see my sister trying to crawl all over the carpeted floor. I gave them both a sad smile, as I had the feeling that I wouldn't return for a while, the same feeling that I had years ago, when I had to save Annabeth from Atlas and Luke. I was in what, 8th grade when that happened?
As I walked over to the door, something caught my eye. It was a framed picture, a drawn one in fact. A really well drawn one. I stepped closer, and I saw it was a drawing of me after the Battle at Manhattan. At the bottom, there were two lines of writing. One Greek, one English.
This is what the Greek one said: Ρέιτσελ Ελίζαμπεθ Ντάρε.
Rachel Elizabeth Dare.
She drew this.
I smiled, and left one more thing next to it. I had been saving it for years, even after Matt Sloan ripped it off. I left it there, and I left the apartment.
"Hi Percy." someone said, and it sounded familiar. I turned to see Hermes with George and Martha. He was fumbling on the phone thing, and I walked over.
"Hi Lord Hermes." I said, "What's the matter?"
"Bellona says you need to get the New Rome as fast as you can." he said, and I nodded, but still had one question in mind.
How on Earth will I get there on time?
Hermes pointed his finger at me, and I was suddenly propelled across the country, and I landed in the Little Tiber in New Rome. The water woke me up, and I didn't regurgitate. I willed the currents to bring me up, and I willed the water on my clothes to go back. I walked to the principia, where the praetor's office resided. I walked over there, and I saw Aurum and Argentum trying to but open the door. There was some kind of magic in there, preventing them from teleporting in. I heard a yell, and the sound of something hitting flesh. Aurum and Argentum whimpered, and I knew that something was wrong with Reyna. I drew the Riptide, and cut a hole in the door. The metal dogs dashed in, and I went through the door, recapping my pen. I came in to another dangerous site.
Reyna was tied to a pole, but she had a large, red mark on her head, a slap mark, and she was unconscious. Reyna's cheek had a bit of blood trickling from her cheek. Octavian stood over her, his ugly hands had blood on them.
Reyna's blood.
I was infuriated so much that I drew the Riptide, and Octavian ran out, with Aurum and Argentum running after them. I ran over the Reyna, and I slashed the ropes into pieces. I gently pulled Reyna's head to my lap, and I checked her pulse. Reyna was alive, breathing, but unconscious. I pulled her up a bit more, enough height to be a sitting position. I sat there, and with every passing second, I hoped that she would wake up. I then noticed a paper sticking out of her toga. I know I shouldn't snoop, but I couldn't resist. I opened it to find this:
~Ask Percy if he wants to be praetor as soon as he comes
~ Punish Octavian
Ask about Percy's love life
~Tell Percy I like him
I quickly tucked the paper back into Reyna's toga, but still, she didn't wake up.
"I see you really care for my daughter." a voice remarked, and in a flash of light, Bellona appeared.
"Lady Bellona." I said, bowing my head, blushing at remark she made.
"Look up, child." she ordered, and I looked up.
"Take this, and trickle some in her mouth." she said, and a canteen appeared. Bellona then disappeared. I opened the canteen, and poured a silvery liquid in her mouth. Slowly but surely, Reyna started to stir, and soon, she opened her eyes.
"Percy." she said, and I stood up, helping her on her feet. Reyna seemed a bit dizzy, and when she stood up, she swayed a little bit. I held her shoulders as she tried to regain energy.
"Reyna, are you feeling okay?" I asked, concerned. She nodded, then found the strength to stand on her own.
"Percy, I need to ask you something." Reyna said, and a sense of unease washed over me, but I choose to ignore it, "Are you willing to be co-praetor?"
I froze. If I took the post, I will have only a few chances to see Mom, Paul, my little sister, Chiron, and my friends from Camp Half-Blood. I may never have a chance to see them within the next year or two.
On the other hand, I could help the Roman Camp, help make a good difference in New Rome. I could keep Octavian from wreaking havoc upon the camp. I could get someone to stay with for the rest of my life: Reyna. I would get a chance to enjoy a world of no snow, only sun days. I could easily contact my "favorite cousin", Thalia easier, for the Hunt likes to stay over at the West Coast.
I have made my decision.
"Reyna, I am willing to take on the position of praetor if the citizens say yes." I announced, and a small smile crept onto her face.
That was all this morning. Well, the last time I was here was only two weeks ago. I had spent the two weeks in between to have my own adventure, trekking across America, fending off monsters. It was really, um, well, I don't know how to explain it.
"Percy!" I heard someone yell. I shook myself out of these thoughts, and I followed Reyna to the praetor's home. Reason is, we have to be roommates. I trailed after Reyna, wondering if I should or shouldn't. Oh boy, this would really piss off Annabeth.
But why should I care about her? She abused my love, so she deserves to be forgotten. I have decided on yes, I should. I was suddenly jolted out of my thinking when I almost walked into Reyna. Had her braid not accidentally slapped my face, I would of walked into her.
"Percy," she said, exasperated, "When will you pay attention?"
"Uhhh, maybe never?" I answered, and she just shook her head, pursing her lips.
"Anyway, this is the home we will be sharing." Reyna said, and I glanced up. I did not expect this to be what I saw.
"Percy, your bedroom is upstairs to the left. I have to go back to the office to do work. Explore it yourself." Reyna informed, and left, walking briskly as the sun hit the peak. I sighed, and walked in.
The outside of the house was pretty plain, but showed camp spirit. It was painted with a light purple, and the window drapes were golden. I took a step inside, and it was actually really nice. The interior was painted white, with a birch wood floor. At least it look likes birch. The bottom was small, but still cozy. There was a little kitchen to the other end of the house.
Not bad. I thought to myself. I looked around the bottom floor, then walked upstairs.
The upstairs had two rooms. One room had a very plain white door, and the other had been painted purple with gold lettering: SPQR surrounded by a golden laurel. The one with the lettering also had a plaque that said:Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano. That one belongs to Reyna, which is on the right. I walked into the one to the left, and it disappointed me. There was a full sized bed in the corner, with two pillows, but no bedsheet and pillow covers. The curtains were gold however. On the bed, there was a praetor uniform. I picked it up, and this thought flitted across my mind. I knew it wasn't there moments before. A note fell out.
Percy,
I am glad you took the position as praetor. I think these will fit. Once you are done, do to the principia immediately.
-Neptune
I grinned, and changed into the white toga, with purple streaks in front, golden armor glinting from the light of noon. I saw a flash as I headed to the door, and the room was painted light sea green, and the bed changed to have light blue sheets. I walked out the door, and on a new silver plaque on my door, it had the words Perseus Jackson in gold lettering. I grinned again, and headed to the principia.
"Percy! Hurry up! The meeting is in 5 minutes!" Reyna's voice called across the room.
Crap, I gotta hurry. I thought, and ran after Reyna, into the Senate House. I ran in, and Reyna mouthed that I have to sit in the praetor's chair next to her. I sat in it, and the meeting started. Reyna stood up.
"We are here to welcome back Perseus Jackson as praetor!" Reyna said, her confident, bold voice ringing across the room. The Senate clapped politely, except for Octavian, who yelled Boo! Instead. We ignored them, and Reyna started to talk again.
"All in vote for having raise Percy as praetor?" she asked, and the Senate raised their hands, and even the Lares did. I did a quick scan across the room, and I saw Frank among the Senate. He gave me a grin, and I nodded in acknowledgement. I continued my loop around the room, and I wasn't surprised that Octavian just sat there, arms crossed. I stood up, and I needed to, well, to the nicest way to put it, shame Octavian.
"Octavian, please stand up, and state your reason why you do not want me as praetor." I said, calm, cool, collected. (AN: If you recognize that phrase, please PM me. Please tell me where it is from. To me, it sounds familiar, but I can't tell.)
"I think the first one is really obvious. Jackson is Greek, not Roman. We need a Roman to help Rome. The next one is also really obvious. He is the son of Neptune, and Neptune is not worthy of being a Roman god." he started, and I balled my fists.
"You said what?!" I growled, and a loud, booming voice echoed across the room.
OCTAVIAN, SON OF APOLLO, AUGUR, SAY THAT, I, NEPTUNE, NOT WORTHY OF BEING A ROMAN GOD? YOU SHALL SUFFER, AND YOUR FOLLOWERS WILL SUFFER AS WELL. the voice boomed across the room, and Octavian continued talking as if nothing happened.
"Jackson here stole the position from Jason Grace, but I do not care. At least Grace," Octavian got cut off my me. I have had enough of the trash that he said.
"Have you gone through two wars?" I asked, my voice harsher than ever before, and his smug smile faded. He didn't answer.
"Have you killed at least two titans?"
No answer.
"Have you ever survived Tartarus?"
"So what? It's easy." he said, and Nico melted out of the shadows.
"The demigods that have been to Tartarus almost get driven insane. Lets see how you do." Nico snarled, grabbed Octavian, disappeared.
"Légionnaires, Centurions, Lares, dismissed." Reyna said, and they left. Reyna slumped in her chair after they left, her face saying something definitely worried her, and I could see it, even though the stoic facade. She straightened, and she beckoned for me to follow her. I followed her to the house, and she shut all the windows, locked all the doors.
"Percy, there are a few questions I need to ask about you." she said, and I nodded.
"Why did you return?" she asked.
"When I got back to Camp Half-Blood, I walked in on Jason and Annabeth kissing. My heart left like it shattered, and I turned to walk outside. Annabeth started to make wild claims, and for *insert cursing* 's sake, I left. I visited my mom, Paul, and my little sister, and Hermes appeared, and teleported me here. I got teleported outside the praetor's office. I saw Aurum and Argentum trying to get in just as that scum….." I trailed off, trying to a milder word.
"Anyways, I cut through the door, Aurum and Argentum started to chase Octavian, and I came as well. I saw you tied up, and I cut the ropes. You got hit unconscious, and your mother gave me something, and I poured it in your mouth, and you woke up. You asked me if I wanted to be praetor, and since I wanted to stay, I said yes."
Reyna nodded, and asked me another question that completely caught me off guard.
"What qualities are you looking in a girl if you would like another?" she said, point blank. I froze, and my eyes widened. I thought about it, and I got some answers.
I silently cursed myself. Why in the world did I have those feelings? Why?
"Everything in you." I blurted out, and I mentally facepalmed, and my mind was now bellowing curses against Aphrodite.
Aphrodite POV
I love messing with puny human lives! It's so fun! I made Percy blurt it out, and…*insert a slap*
Yowch! That hurt! My mascara is now smeared!
Reyna POV
"Everything in you." Percy blurted out. My heart melted.
For the first time in maybe a year, I had a real smile on my face. This means that Percy likes me. I pounced on him, sending him backward into a couch, giving him a kiss. His eyes widened, but he pulled me closer. Percy never broke away, and he was playing with my hair at the same time. I suddenly was awake my heart rate was slowing, so I broke away from him. Percy looked disappointed, but smiled nonetheless, his sea-green eyes staring into my eyes.
"Percy, I… I didn't know what came over me." I said, but Percy cut me off.
"Reyna, that was not something you should apologize for. You have just found your true love." Percy said, and his smile returned.
There would be no separating us now.
So, that is the end of my first chapter in my first story! Please review and tell me how you like it!
