Chapter 2- War is Waged

Percy's POV

A slight breeze was felt on the Field of Mars swishing around the two praetors capes as they stood hands interlocked in front of their honorable legion. The hum of the Argo could still be heard as it touched down onto the field. A click was heard as a ramp dropped to the ground for the people of the Argo to unload.

Percy glanced down at his hand. "Wait…what am I doing?" he dropped his hand to his side gently not wanting to anger Reyna.

"Sorry Reyna… technically I'm still dating Annabeth…" He stated not daring to look directly in her eyes.

A sad smiled graced the dark haired beauty's face "I understand Percy, you don't have to act all embarrassed." She was about to continue but a young man with lightly colored hair walked out of the Argo with another girl. She had curly blonde hair and both were wearing orange t-shirts. Both of them had a smile plastered on their face as they stepped down from the Argo.

A smile came across Percy's face as well, that is until he noticed that the blonde girl was being held in the other boy's arms. A million thoughts were going through Percy's head.

"Annabeth?" he whispered. His Annabeth was with another guy? Of course the other guy had to be the famous Jason Grace that he had heard so much about from his co-praetor. That smile faded into an emotionless stare that he had seen worn upon the other Roman demigods so well.

To make matters even worse the daughter of Athena came running to Percy her arms streched out. Who has this kind of nerve he thought? His girlfriend coming into this Roman camp almost completely unwelcome in the hands of the former praetor. She jumped into his arms. Percy stood there in his place completely frozen arms still outstretched.

"No." He backed away, slightly pushing her away. "I can't believe you Annabeth!" His voice unsteady. "I thought that you loved me?" "Clearly that is not true; I see you replaced me fairly easily." He said with a quiet whisper.

Betrayal was all that Percy felt. To make matters worse the son of Jupiter came running up to him and placed his hand on his shoulder attempting to turn him around. The legion tensed.

"Jackson! Don't think that you can just ignore your friends that have been so worried about you for the past eight months!" Thunder cracked above causing the clouds to darken.

Percy turned; a tear fell from his eye splashing to the ground. He quickly regained his composure. Who did this guy think he was?

"You seem to have already taken my place at Camp Half Blood, as I have taken yours. I thought that we could be friends, brothers even. But when you show up and rub your new girlfriend in my face it's kind of like being slapped. It stings." All this was said with one breath, Percy standing up tall demonstrating that he had not been affected on the outside.

"Goodbye Annabeth." He turned and threw his hand over his shoulder as if he was casually saying goodbye.

Reyna's POV

Jason seriously had some nerve walking into this camp with Percy's girlfriend with him. What shocked her even more was what Jason was doing. As Percy started to walk away a bolt of thunder cracked down in front of the ground Percy was about to step upon. The legion looked ready to charge at their former leader loyally defending Percy.

Percy turned again and waved his hand dismissingly.

"No, if he wants to fight then so be it. Just you and I, nobody else is going to get hurt from our conflict." Percy's sword was drawn, he waved his hand.

The river exploded. Gallons upon gallons of water swirling around in a whirlpool of fury that was ready to destroy anything that crossed its path. The Greeks from the Argo ran to my side with the legion. Both Percy and Jason were looked in a battle of the elements and their swords down upon the Field of Mars.

The water shot at Jason, being the warrior that he was he dodged the water by a hair. He countered with a series of lightning strikes. Neither of the demigods seemed to be tired as they continued to wage war.

I glanced to my side at Annabeth. Her face seemed to carry signs of worry on it as she watched the two boys attempt to kill each other.

"You do know what this means don't you?" I said it with venom that I hope she heard. "War will be waged between the two camps."

Percy's POV

"This is war Jason!" waves of water flew past me as I yelled those words. He countered with his own strike of lightning hitting the waves. The second that the tip of the bolt hit the wave smoke erupted. It cleared. The gate of the Argo seemed to have closed, I glanced over by Reyna. All of my friends from my past life were gone, aboard the ship that had brought them hear. The legion started a chant. War, war, war they said. I walked over to Reyna.

I turned to the legion of Roman demigods "I'll stand beside you no matter what troubles we face! I may be a Greek, but I will fight alongside you as a Roman!"

I grabbed Reyna's hand and turned to her. "As a Roman."
