Morning rose and so did the campers. All around camp people were about to start their own new adventures and they had no idea.
Well maybe except Nico and Connor.
Connor Stoll had been up about three hours ago packing his rucksack with clothes, food, other people's wallets and firecrackers. By the time his brother had woken up he was already at Thalia's tree with Nico di Angelo bag ready and a new celestial bronze sword Leo had made him the night before. He hadn't given it a name but it was a bastard sword with a bronze handle and white gripping. It wasn't anything special but it was the first sword Connor ever had for his own so he promised he'd take good care of it.
Nico himself had packed clothes in a simple backpack and was up about nine hours ago, he didn't sleep that night he simply waited. Kelsey had reluctantly kissed him good-bye last night and told him he owed her big time.
Now, the unlikely pair was standing up at the top of the hill waiting for Argus to bring the truck that Connor would be driving into town.
No one was up in time to say another good-bye but somehow they preferred it that way, then it wouldn't seem final and they'd for sure be coming back, in one piece anyways. According to Alexa the problem in Camp Jupiter was getting very serious and it could cause a lot of damage and issues fro the demigod world.
As the truck pulled up Nico headed straight down ready to get going. But Connor wasn't so ready to leave the place he considered home behind him just yet; he turned back and looked at the beautiful fields, hills, cabins and woods, the shining lake. He'd failed to appreciate it all until now and as she took his first step he took a shaky breath and stepped down and made his way to the truck.
Meanwhile Percy rose from his bed yawning and stepped out to get dressed. He put on his camp shirt and cargo shorts. He grabbed Riptide and plopped it in his pocket and stretched hard cracking his back and neck.
Today was going to suck.
He stepped out into the bright, warm sun and smiled to himself. It was a beautiful day today. Birds were chirping, a light breeze crawled around his skin and satyrs were plying volleyball.
Today was going to suck.
He walked down to the pavilion to have some breakfast. There he found Lilly sitting alone munching on some cereal her hair a mess and her clothes messy as if she hadn't slept well. Percy got a bowl of blue frosted flakes and a glass of blue orange juice.
Today was going to suck.
As he started eating Travis Stoll walked into the pavilion his hair a mess as much as Lilly's and his eyes bagged from lack of sleep.
Percy couldn't blame him, it was the first time he'd been away from his brother and it was probably concerning and scary for him.
"Hey Travis," Percy said giving a small smile.
"Hey Perce. So…Connor left early this morning," Travis said sitting next to Percy.
Lilly got up and joined them sitting across from Travis, "Yeah, it's weird him not being there to annoy me as soon as I wake up."
Percy nodded, "I'll miss him. But he'll be back soon I'm sure."
Travis sighed, "I hope so. He's only been gone for like five minutes and I already don't know what to do."
Lilly frowned, "Talk to Katie. I'm sure she'll help you out."
Travis shrugged, "Maybe. All I know is that this cereal tastes like shit."
The three of them cracked a smile and started laughing.
As they laughed Will walked into the pavilion, "What's so funny?"
The three of them smiled to themselves and Lilly stood up to give him a kiss, "Nothing. Just talking, what're you up to this morning?"
Will shrugged, "Archery and Lava Wall. You?"
"Nothing. I thought I'd go down to the lake and sun tan or something," Lilly said as she and Will sat down.
Travis nodded, 'I might join you Lilly. I've got nothing else to do. Katie has archery and sculpting this morning."
Percy huffed, 'Lucky. I have to take the newbie to the arena for training."
Travis cracked a smile; "Yeah but you'll have Annabeth with you."
Percy shrugged, "I guess that's a plus."
"Of course it's a plus, I'm amazing."
Percy jumped as Annabeth wrapped her arms around his neck and she laughed pecking him on the cheek.
"So what's for breakfast Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth asked.
"Frosted flakes," Percy said.
Annabeth reached down and took the spoon and grabbed a spoonful for herself, "Mm, delicious. Anyways you ready for today?"
Percy nodded, "I've never really mentored anyone before. Plus she's not very nice."
Annabeth gave that "I know face" and said, "I know. But we'll work through it."
Travis laughed, "I don't know, that girl looks like a piece of work. But that's none of my business."
Everyone laughed and Percy finished off his bowl of cereal and followed Annabeth away from the pavilion to the arena. Today she looked really gorgeous in a white blouse and a pair of gray yoga pants that really showed her figure, which Percy did NOT mind at all.
She had her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, the way Percy liked it, it showed her face more, which once again Percy loved to admire. Everyone called her eyes stormy gray but Percy always thought they were soft and bright, pretty, beautiful, absolutely gorgeous in fact. He could stare at her all day and never get bored.
They made it to the arena and Annabeth looked around as if looking for something and once she found it empty grabbed her hands behind her back and twirled around so she was facing Percy.
She started taking slow steps backwards away from him smirking, "We're alone…"
Percy nodded, "Yeah. Normally happens when there is no one but us around."
Annabeth rolled her eyes, "You are such a Seaweed Brain. Come here…"
Percy laughed and walked up to her. "What?"
Annabeth stepped into him wrapping her arms around his waist and stood on her tiptoes, "What did you dream about?"
Percy smirked and leaned closer so their noses were touching, "Evil robot monkeys."
Annabeth pouted, "Seriously Percy?"
Percy laughed and held her around the back when she tried to step back, "I was joking. You really want to know what I was thinking?"
Annabeth suddenly melted back into him a hopeful look on her face, "Mhm."
"Well, I dreamt about this really, really pretty girl. She had beautiful long blonde hair that curled like a pretty princess. She had these big, pretty gray eyes too, I mean they were so pretty…"
Annabeth bit her lip and rubbed her hands on Percy's back silently asking for more and Percy leaned forward pushing his nose on hers, "And she was so gorgeous, she had this amazing ASS."
Annabeth snorted as she laughed and pressed harder into him their lips merely inches apart and Percy could feel her breath on his lips.
"But the best part was her voice and everything she said, she was really sweet, smart and kind. She was the BEST person I've ever met," Percy said.
Annabeth nodded smiling and opened her mouth, "Yeah?"
"Yeah. Wish I could find a girl like that in real life."
"Oh my gods shut up and kiss me!" Annabeth said punching his chest.
Percy laughed and did as he was told. When their lips touched it was a small, quiet kiss at first their lips simply touching. But soon Annabeth got more fired up and opened her lips a bit to mold them into Percy's.. Her arms moved up to hang around his neck gently and the kiss deepened.
Percy's brain melted away as he kissed her, his hands grabbing her waist and all his focus on her beauty. Her lips tasted like strawberries and he opened her mouth letting her have more of him.
"Ugh get a fucking room you losers."
Percy and Annabeth broke apart blushing like mad and turned to see the new girl, Alexa, standing at the entrance to the arena glaring at them with her arms crossed.
"Sorry Alexa," Percy said, "didn't see you there."
"Yeah, whatever. Let's get this over with already," She said.
Annabeth's eye twitched but she gave a big smile, "Hi. So we're going to start with sword fighting. You brought the gear Chiron gave you right?"
"Yeah, duh. What do you take me for?" Alexa said lifting up the armor and sword.
Annabeth's eye twitched harder and her smile almost faltered, "Right. Anyways you're going to fight Percy and he'll give you tips and suggestions."
"Then what the fuck are you here for?" Alexa asked strapping on the armor.
Annabeth chose not to answer and walked over to the bleachers and sat down trying hard not to get angry, her face red.
Percy sighed, he was right. Today was going to suck.
"Keep your guard up!"
"Block! Strike! Watch your blind spots!"
Percy and Alexa had been practicing for a solid three hours and they were both sweating heavily. He'd been going hard on her partly because he wanted her to be good and partly because she'd been a bitch to Annabeth.
Lucky for Alexa, the girl was already very good and aware of her surroundings and was doing fairly good for a beginner.
She could handle her sword well and was good at strong, offensive fighting but her blocking needed much more work.
Percy decided he wanted this session to end so he whipped out the Jackson badass level sword fighting.
He started swinging hard and fast from side to side and giving in random uppercuts and upward slices at random. Alexa's face tightened with concentration as the blows became harder and faster and struggled to keep up. Percy used the trick Luke had once taught him and slammed his sword on her hilt and twisted and Alexa's blade fell onto the dirt.
Alexa was panting and reached for her sword but Percy pointed the tip of Riptide at her face, "If your disarmed it's over. You have a slim chance of ever making it, your best bet is to move fast and avoid getting hit and try to retrieve your sword or simply get out of there."
Alexa nodded, "Sure whatever."
Percy nodded, "Okay then we're done for today. Go shower and talk to Chiron and Grover will take you on to some other activities to do."
Alexa nodded, "Sure thing hot stuff."
Annabeth sitting on the bleachers stiffened at those words.
Percy sighed, "Okay, good bye Alexa."
Alexa slithered forward smirking, "It doesn't have to be good bye. Maybe…you could…uh…show me around."
Percy shook his head, "Probably not a good idea."
In a flash Alexa had her hands on Percy's crotch winking, "Sure?"
Before Percy could do anything Ananbeth's fist came in like lightning and Alexa slumped to the ground unconscious.
"Annabeth!" Percy shouted jumping back.
"She touched you!" Annabeth said glaring.
"I could've handled it! You didn't need to knock her out!"
"What was I supposed to do?"
"Watch me take care of it!"
"You don't think I could've helped?"
"Of course not. But if I had gotten to take care of it you would've seen that I didn't enjoy it what so ever and therefore had more faith in me!" Percy said.
Annabeth frowned, "That was actually pretty smart. Sorry."
"Don't apologize to me!" Percy said.
Annabeth huffed, "Fine. I'll apologize when she wakes up, let's take her to the Big House."
Percy sighed and helped Annabeth lift his disciple and start to carry her to the Big House. Inside Percy had to admit that he was a little impressed.
"Why are we driving?"
Connor turned his head to look at Nico who was frowning.
"What do you mean man?" Connor asked.
Nico frowned, "It's just why do we need to drive there? It's waste of gas."
"You call saving Camp Jupiter a waste of gas?" Connor said laughing.
Nico shook his head, "Of course not. I just mean…why don't we just shadow travel."
Connor slammed on the brakes and whirled to face Nico, "You could've said that six fucking hours ago Nico!"
Nico shrugged, "Sorry?"
Connor huffed and pulled the truck over to the side of the road muttering curses under his breath as they unloaded.
Nico held out his hand and Connor frowned, "What?"
"We need to hold hands," Nico said.
"What the fuck? No way, I am NOT gay man," Connor said.
Nico sighed, "I don't want to hold your hand dumbass, we need to do it to shadow travel."
"Oh."
Connor reluctantly took Nico's hand and held his breath as Nico concentrated and the weirdest sensation came over him. He felt like he was being stretched from every direction and a blast of freezing cold air struck him in the face.
Suddenly just as it began though it stopped and Connor opened his eyes and found himself standing just outside a large city with awesome buildings and smelled strongly of hot chocolate.
Just as Connor was going to take a step a statue popped in front of him in a burst of white smoke. It was of a muscular man with no arms and a pedestal for a boy.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?"
Connor frowned, "Um…walking."
"You're not allowed to!" the statue shouted.
"Excuse me?" Connor asked.
Nico stepped forward, "Terminus. It's me Nico di Angelo, son of Pluto. This is Connor son of Mercury."
"Well, Mr. di Angelo! It has been a while! But no excuses, you must turn in your weapons before entering the city limits!" The statue ordered.
Nico nodded, "Understood Terminus."
Connor frowned but reluctantly handed over his sword to a little girl along with Nico and they were finally allowed to walk into the city.
"What was that that?" Connor asked.
Nico shrugged, "OCD god."
"Oh, okay."
The two walked on along the cobbled streets, the scent of hot chocolate getting stronger the deeper they ventured into the city. Eventually though, they came upon a large dome shaped building and they could hear shouting voices inside.
Nico led the way inside and Connor found himself in a huge college classroom it seemed with a large number of seats in a semi-circle facing a stage where four people were standing trying to listen.
Suddenly one of them stood up, she had long black hair and dark eyes with pale skin and Connor couldn't help but stare, she was beautiful.
"Please! One at a time!" She shouted.
"Who's that?"
Suddenly people whirled to face Nico and Connor and the girl frowned, "Nico?"
"Yes, praetor. We have come from Camp Half-Blood by the wishes of lord Apollo. For now me and my colleague will wait and speak with you after if we may?"
One of the boys with shaggy blonde hair started, "I don't think-"
But the girl cut him off, "Of course."
The blonde haired boy huffed but stepped back.
Connor took a seat and Nico did too, "What is this?"
Nico shushed him, "We must be quiet. Just watch. It's a council."
The girl sat back down in one of the large chairs. Next to her was a boy with black, short hair and was very large like a football player.
"Isn't that Frank!" Connor hissed.
Nico shushed him again, "Yes. He is praetor here now shut up!"
The council continued with Octavian leaning down to whisper something in the girl's ear and she nodded.
"Very well, we will have people speak their views one at a time," she ordered.
The fourth boy on the stage had black hair and blue eyes; he was tall and well muscled but sickly pale and looked rather bored than interested in anything.
He stepped forward, "Reyna, oh forgive me, I mean praetor. Would it not be better to, if I may, conjure this meeting and simply have people give in signed and written complaints or suggestions?"
Reyna frowned, "Absolutely not! I will hear them speak their complaints themselves."
"Well, it is just that maybe they are scared of upsetting you and would rather remain anonymous," the boy said.
"Sit back down Hector, we will talk later, and as for the crowd you will speak your complaints vocally to me now or forever hold your peace!"
Hector gave a small smirk and gave a curt bow before swishing his robes around him and walking off the stage to take a seat about two rows back from the front.
Connor turned to Nico, "Who's that?"
Nico shrugged, "I don't know."
"Well I don't like him."
"Welcome to the club. Now for the love of Zeus shut up!"
So for about another two hours people would stand and voice loud complaints or just quiet suggestions for the sake of the camp and city. It was clear who was in charge with Reyna answering most of the suggestions and complaints. Frank would sometimes cut in with a solid suggestion, he clearly had no qualms helping but it seemed to Connor that Frank preferred Reyna to take the lead.
After it was all over everyone rose and started filing out of the dome. Nico grabbed Connor form following and dragged him with him towards the stage where the shaggy blonde haired kid, Frank and Reyna were chatting quietly.
"Reyna," Nico called.
Reyna turned and Connor sucked in air, she was stunning. Her face was perfectly chiseled and her body literally WAS a wonderland. She was very curvaceous and was not afraid to flaunt it seemed.
Connor suddenly remembered this was the girl Leo had that fling with in Paris and England!
"Yes, hello Nico. How can we help you Greeks?" She asked.
Nico nodded, "Thank you but it is not your help we need. We came to offer ours."
Frank frowned, "What do you mean?"
"As I said earlier Apollo himself sent us…in a way."
"What do you mean?" Reyna asked.
"Well you see…"
Connor drained out of the conversation and focused on Reyna. He took in every detail and just let her beauty soak in. She had average sized breasts but he noticed no bra strap meaning they were firm and perky as the toga did not slide down at all. Her hips curved out and framed a large, bubbly ass that Connor knew was in perfect fit. Her skin was a creamy, pale color, not sickly pale but the sexy pale and it was sexy.
"Connor?"
Connor shook his head form his daydreams, "Uh…yes! What?"
"Reyna is going to take us to her chambers to speak further. Frank and Octavian will join us," Nico explained.
Connor nodded, "Yeah okay sounds good."
Reyna raised and eyebrow and smirked at him and Connor blushed and followed her lead out of the arena.
"Shit!"
Percy flopped down onto his bed and Annabeth jumped shocked from his sudden outburst.
"What!"
"I forgot to buy you a Christmas present!" Percy said.
Annabeth laughed, "Oh it's fine Percy. Besides it's only November still."
Percy shook his head, "No it is not fine! I need to get my girlfriend a present! That's my job! But I can't go into tow because Chiron is so paranoid about this Roman business he won't let me go into town.:
Annabeth smiled, "You're sweet but really it's fine…"
Percy closed his eyes and sighed, "I feel guilty for not getting you one. Besides you probably got me one."
Suddenly a weight was on top of Percy and he opened his eyes to find Annabeth laying on top of him her lips just about touching his, her breath on his lips.
"As a matter of fact I did," she whispered.
Percy frowned, "See? Now I feel bad."
Annabeth smirked, "Well just open it now and that way I won't have a Christmas present for you too."
"I don't think that counts Annabeth."
"Do you want my present or not?"
"I kind of do."
"Then. Open. It."
"Okay."
Annabeth smiled and jumped off of him and ran to the door, "I'll go get it!"
Percy laughed, she was so hyper and happy lately that he felt giddy every time he was around her. Having a break from the demigod madness was really good for her. She was less gloomy and sad lately and he liked her better that way. He liked her sad and gloomy too of course!
He leaned back and closed his eyes; his cabin was always so quiet. He could hear the water from the fountain making those nice splashing and bubbling sounds. The plants Tyson had brought gave off a good smell and the sound of the little metal hippocampi moving with the breeze was very calming.
Suddenly the door opening and slamming shut and a pretty girl walking in broke the calm and quietness.
"I'm ba~ck," Annabeth said getting onto the bed straddling Percy.
Percy smiled, "Yay…"
She shoved a bag in front of him and said, "Now. Open."
Percy laughed, "Sure, sure Wise Girl."
Percy opened the bag and reached in and felt something long and very, very thin and pulled it out. It was a necklace made out of wooden beads dark brown and beige around a black string and a tiny sand dollar was in the center of the beads.
Percy looked up, "Annabeth, this is…awesome!"
Annabeth shrugged and tried not to look happy; "I knew you liked your camp necklace so I got you another one, this one from me."
Percy smiled, "Aw…thanks Wise Girl."
"Anytime Seaweed Brain. There's more!" She said.
Percy placed the necklace on his bedside dresser and opened the bag wider and pulled out a shirt.
It was black with a neon green trident decaled on the front and it was slightly faded with ragged edges, the kind of decals you saw a lot of nowadays, the kind Percy liked.
"Oh my gods! Where did you find this?" Percy asked.
Annabeth shrugged trying to not to look smug again, "Ordered it."
"Annabeth! This stuff is amazing!"
Annabeth smiled, "I try."
Percy laughed and placed the shirt on the dresser and felt in the bag, "There's more!?"
Annabeth nodded her face showing insane amount of excitement and Percy's curiosity rose higher. It felt like more clothes and he pulled out a clear plastic bag containing something that made his mouth drop.
Inside was a pair of Victoria Secret, neon pink lacy panties and matching bra.
Percy looked up, "I'm flattered but I don't wear this stuff."
Annabeth punched his chest, "It's for me! I knew you'd forget to buy me a Christmas present so I bought this so you could give it to me!"
Percy laughed and kissed her, "You're perfect."
Annabeth kissed him back, "I try."
Percy laughed and Annabeth bit her lip, "You know you got your present opened…can I open mine?"
Percy smirked, "I don't see why not…"
Annabeth smiled, "Good!"
She grabbed the underwear and dashed off to Percy's bathroom without a word.
Percy laughed to himself and pulled off his shirt getting a little excited. It'd been a while since they'd had sex.
Annabeth burst out wearing different clothes. She now had on a sleek black blouse with a low v-cut showing the top of her new bra. On the bottom she had on a pair of black yoga pants that were so tight Percy could see the outline of her panties.
Shit…Annabeth you look…hot," Percy said his mouth open.
Annabeth smirked and winked, "I think I dropped something."
She turned around and bent over grabbing at nothing just to show her ass off. Percy's dick took seconds to harden fully, the yoga pants framed her firm ass cheeks perfectly and her could see the thong underneath.
"Is there something on my ass Percy?" Annabeth asked innocently reaching behind herself to grab it.
Percy groaned, "Uh…bug."
Annabeth laughed, "Oh! Better get it."
She slapped her ass hard pretending to "get that bug" and Percy grunted and she stood up turning back smirking and biting her lip.
"So…do you like your presents Percy baby?" Annabeth asked straddling his lap.
Percy nodded, "Very much."
"Good. Because I have another present…it's called doggie style."
Percy smirked, "My favorite."
Annabeth winked, "Trust me…I know."
Percy laughed and leaned forward to kiss her again. Annabeth opened her mouth and let him slip his tongue inside and they kissed harder.
Percy grabbed Annabeth's waist and squeezed tightly making her moan and sit down harder on him making him groan.
Percy moved his hands to grab the hem of her shirt and lift it up and Annabeth reluctantly pulled back from the kiss so the shirt could be thrown aside.
Percy kissed her again and they moved into an awkward moving position so they're pants could be removed and they both laughed into their kiss as they did it.
"We are a hot mess," Annabeth said.
Percy frowned, "Did you just quote Fault In Our Stars?"
"Of course! I'm a girl!" Annabeth said kissing him harder.
Percy nodded, "I noticed."
"Shut up and kiss me."
Percy laughed and lowered Annabeth on to her back and pressed his hips down onto her kissing her harder. Annabeth moaned and ran her hands along his back and sides feeling the hard muscles quiver from her touch and their quivers made her shiver.
Percy pulled back smirking, "Ready?"
"Always."
"Stop quoting Fault In Our Stars!"
"Okay."
"Oh my gods Annabeth."
Annabeth threw her head back and laughed and Percy ignored her slipped down her panties and trying not to laugh himself.
Once she was naked from the waist down Percy grabbed her hips and flipped her over making her yelp then giggle as he ran his hand up and down her spine. He knew she was ticklish there.
"Stop with the damn foreplay Seaweed Brain," Annabeth begged.
Percy laughed, "As you wish my lady."
Percy slipped down his boxers and pressed his tip firmly against Annabeth's crotch making her moan as his cock slowly slid into her making her insides quiver and a shaky sigh come from her mouth.
"Gods I missed that," she whispered.
Percy laughed and pulled out slowly, "Yeah?"
"Fuck yes…"
Percy smirked and pushed back in slowly, teasingly slow, and Annabeth did NOT appreciate.
"What happened to fuck my brains out Percy?"
Percy laughed, "I thought you liked it slow?"
"Not tonight now please…fuck me!" Annabeth pleaded.
Percy nodded, "Alright, alright."
Percy started to thrust in harder and grabbed Annabeth's waist to steady his self as he went faster and faster making the bed rock a bit and squeak. Annabeth moaned and reached back to unleash her breasts and throw the bra on the floor so her tits could swing freely.
Percy went harder his cock throbbing, he missed fucking Annabeth as much as she missed fucking him. His thrust got harder and faster and so did Annabeth's moans but the loudest sound was the SLAP-SLAP-SLAP coming form Percy's ball slapping Annabeth's skin. The sound filled the room, mixing with low moans and heavy breathing as the two got more heated and into the moment.
Percy groaned and grabbed Annabeth's ass with one hand and held her neck with the other and started to fuck her faster grunting as her pussy enveloped his cock again and again making him sigh and moan.
"Fuck you're still so tight!" Percy breathed.
Annabeth gave a "mmm" sound and nodded, "Fuck, gods you're still so big!"
"Annabeth I think I'm going to cum already!" Percy shouted going harder making Annabeth's body move back and forth.
Annabeth nodded biting her lip, "Fucking fuck! Me too!"
Suddenly they both stopped moving and let out low moans and grunts as they came in unison. Annabeth; pussy clenched and her pussy juices squirted out onto Percy and the bed sheets making her eyes roll back and a goofy grin form on her face. Percy closed his eyes and grunted as his cock twitched and spurted his hot loads out into Annabeth making her moan harder and move her ass back to let more of his cum fill her.
Once they were done they flopped down on the bed panting and cuddled.
"Wow," Percy said, "A whole ten minutes."
Annabeth laughed, "It's been a while. We'll get back to the whole hour thing."
Percy nodded, "Gods I hope so because that is still so fucking good."
Annabeth nodded, "Damn straight Kelp Head."
Percy frowned, "What happened to Seaweed Brain?"
"Wanted to try that one."
"So can I call you Book Face?"
"What the fuck? No!"
"Damn."
"You're such a fucking idiot…"
Percy smirked, "I noticed."
Annabeth laughed and kissed him, "Gods just…go to sleep you moron."
Percy laughed but nodded and kissed her forehead and closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Connor shook his head, "I knew that Hector guy was an ass!"
Reyna nodded, "Excellent instincts Connor. He's been forming rebels for almost a year now, he is a clear supporter of the Emperor rule and wishes to over throw Frank and I."
Nico frowned, "I get that…I just can't get over the fact that Octavian is helping us!"
Frank nodded, "Me too. But he told us the Praetor system was how we were going to do it, as it was tradition and that Hector was a pompous asshole. Shocked me to be honest, a pompous asshole calling someone else a pompous asshole."
Connor snickered and Reyna couldn't help but crack a smile, "Yes it was surprising but he is a not bad ally. He has friends everywhere. Unfortunately so does Hector and he's already gained many followers, mostly those who complained today in the meeting."
Connor nodded, "Okay, okay. So…are we going to take him out?"
Frank shook his head, "We can't. If we did do something like that he'd win as we'd immediately be betrayed and overthrown for killing a fellow Roman."
"Oh," Connor said.
Reyna nodded, "War is inevitable. Right now we just need more allies."
Connor nodded, "I understand. But at the same time you won't get any help from Camp Half-Blood. Chiron won't risk any campers after the couple of years we've already had."
Frank nodded, "I understand. You Greeks are much closer knit than us Romans."
Reyna nodded, 'Yes but don't let anyone catch you saying that Frank."
Frank blushed, "Sorry Reyna."
"It's fine. It's just if anyone catches you saying something that would put the Greeks higher than the Romans this uprising could come a lot faster than we planned," Reyna explained.
Frank nodded, "Yeah…my bad."
Reyna laughed, "It's fine. So now that you're filled in you can return to Camp Half-Blood, there is nothing you can do."
Connor shook his head, "Nonsense we can't just leave you guys facing a Civil War!"
Nico nodded, "Connor is right, it'd be wrong."
Reyna smiled, 'Thank you both but how can you two help us?"
Connor opened his mouth then closed it, "I'm not sure but it'd seem wrong to just leave you."
Frank patted Connor on the shoulder, "I get it man but we can handle this. You guys can spend the night but then you need to leave."
Connor sighed, "All right…but I don't like it."
Reyna smiled, "Understandable. Good night you two. Come on Frank, I'm sure Hazel will be looking for you."
Frank laughed and rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah she's probably a bit pissed I didn't tell her I was going to be late."
Frank rushed out of the door and Reyna smiled, "They go well together."
Connor huffed, "Yeah…just hope you all don't die."
Nico smacked Connor, "Shut up you dolt! Reyna can take care of this mess."
Connor shrugged, "Yeah well I hope so."
Reyna gave a grim smile and said, "Have faith. I'm tougher than I look."
Connor smiled, "Trust me, I wouldn't be surprised."
Reyna laughed, "Flirtatious isn't he? Reminds me of Leo."
Nico groaned, "Don't encourage him. Come on Connor."
Connor looked back at Reyna who was smiling after them and he gave her one wink and she laughed.
Connor turned away smiling, making people laugh was the best way to make someone feel better about them self. And he felt like Reyna was going to need a laugh.
Connor woke to a strange sound.
He heard it then his bed shook slightly and he sat up and Nico sat up in the bed next to him and frowned at Connor.
Connor slipped out of bed and walked out of their little room and his eyes widened.
The sound was an explosion.
Fire and light danced over the dome they'd been in earlier and he could hear distant screams. All around Connor the camp burst to life with sleepy Romans and he saw Reyna in a sports bra and pair of sweatpants rush out. Across the way Frank was also out in a black shirt and gray shorts.
"What's going on!?" Reyna shouted.
Frank rushed forward, "Hector just bombed us!"
"What!"
"He's declaring war!"
To Be Continued…
