A.N. Hi! So as you read in the summary, these chapters are going to be filled with the chosen character's negative thoughts.

Due to the my Christmas break, I will update at least every 2-4 days. When break is over, I will update either once a week or every 2 weeks.

Please tell me if there is any OOCness! And we all know this won't be the best- but I'll try. I'm only _3 though, so, cut some slack.

Oops, age. There is probably a lot of people my age out there though, so yeah.

Another thing- I wrote these ahead and in different styles, so tell me what you think!

Now that's over, go ahead and read, review, and enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: If I owned PJO, it would NOT be published. We all know that. :P

All is fair in love and war.

Reyna.

When the legionnaires hear their praetor's name, it causes some to sit up straighter, or some to work harder and faster. Others might even picture her fully dressed in battle gear while raising her pilum and a torch up heroically.

That's all they think she is. That's all she was to them. Their leader. Their praetor.

They don't look at her like she's one of them. They look at her as if she was Batman- cold and hard like stone.

Her helmet... it really was - became - her mask, didn't it? Her magics aren't displayed. She stepped down from sorcery, and became what her mother wanted her to be.

A full-time no-magics body-built warrior.

Her fellow cohorts don't know that she used to live like a princess. Living in the tropics with libraries filled with books, and spas that soothed the soul. With just live with Hylla, Circe, the other girls, and the guinea pigs, and no cares in the world.

They also don't know that she used to live with magic.

She practises her spells all alone in the gardens, or in the tunnels of the Fields of Mars. If she was just stronger, more powerful, she could've -should've- defeated she would still be with Hylla on Circe's Isle living peacefully with Hylla, Circe, the girls, and the guinea pigs.

Percy Jackson.

She had - has - absolutely no idea how she had a tiny crush on him. Miniscule. His bravery and loyalty was another reason to like Jackson. In a way, she is a rebel (like he was). Neptune's a disgrace to the Romans. And while Percy resembled the recklessness and rebellious side in her personality...

Jason Grace was (is) the more dominating, much more serious side of her.

(More dominating crush, really.)

The son of Jupiter was her serious, more... praetor side of her. With his leadership skills and his battle strategies, they could be a close-to-even match. He was her speaker, and she would carry the mission out.

They were like a more military version of Katniss and Peeta.

But instead, the boys chose love over war. They clouded their minds momentarily and believed in the lie of a happily ever after.

Sometimes, she wished that she became Bellona's disgrace, and choose love over war.

If she did, she might been happier. Become more whole. Have actual friends instead of Circe's mind-controlled dolls.

And not trapped in that metal helmet.

Percy Jackson.

Jason Grace.

Aim high, hit low.

War before love in her (mother's) book.

She would never be ready to take of the mask, would she. She would just charge alone into battles. Alone with war. No love, no peace, no close friends. Just war.

She would just be isolated on Circe's island. Without the big sister, sorceress, girls, and guinea pigs.

She has her power, but she has no close cohorts.

You've got your power, now what are you going to do with it?

Get the Graecus.

Oh look. The rebellious side came out.

(Blame it on Terra.)

A. N. Next chapter's title- Oil

Wait... one more thing. Does anyone have ideas for my other story, WATS? If you do, please PM your thoughts to me. PLEASE.
