Chapter 2

The blonde boy didn't wake up until three days later. In those three days, Reyna hovered. She waited in the hospital by his bedside, trying to determine if he was a threat. So far he didn't seem like much, true he wasn't awake, which until then Reyna couldn't make a final judgment.

It wasn't until Jason came did she realize three days had passed. Jason had come because she had asked him, if he knew of this other son of Jupiter, assuming, that the blonde boy was a son of Jupiter. He asked her when the last time she had left the infirmary, which Reyna guiltily replied that she hadn't except for the occasional shower and meeting.

Jason told her that he was unaware of any son of Jupiter, but he admitted that the boy did look familiar to him. Reyna tried to keep that in mind as she sat and waited for the boy to awake. Finally, around five pm, the boy opened his eyes.

Reyna was meet with two startled blue eyes. They were bright and stared at her in a dazed expression.

"Where am I?" The boy's voice was surprisingly soothing like a melody, but he still looked alarmed as he patted the sheets of the bed. Reyna scanned him to see if he was playing dumb, but he genuinely seemed confused.

"You're at Camp Jupiter." Before she could explain any further, the guy cursed and got up, sprinting outside.

"No! No! NO! This can't be happening!" He started sprinting, which Reyna had to sprint after him, calling orders to the legionnaires to stop him. She wasn't sure what his intentions were, but she was not going to have him destroy her camp.

"Zeus you can't do this to me!" He pleaded still running through the camp. Reyna wasn't sure what he meant by that, but she drew her pugio and threw it. The blonde however dodged it and kept running towards New Rome. Reyna only sped up trying to catch him, while other people looked around in shock. Finally, Frank stopped the kid, as he stood firm in the blonde's way. There was recognition in Frank's face as he whispered something, but the blonde only tried to turn away.

He tried to escape but he was surrounded. Reyna strolled up to him upset he had made such a scene. She had dealt with a lot of things, but her nerves were frayed and she did not want her legion whispering.

"Halt. Come with me." She hadn't meant to sound so menacing, but she wasn't sure if he was a threat or not. The blonde looked around, his blue eyes scanning his surroundings as if planning an escape plan. Reyna drew her pilum and pressed it to his neck.

"Perhaps I wasn't clear, come with me or die now." Reyna glared at the boy, but he seemed unfazed.

"You can't kill me." He stated. "Well I supposed she could now! Huh Zeus, are you going to let her kill me! It'd be less of a punishment!" The boy yelled toward the sky. Reyna only pressed her sword into his neck, not sure what this boy was doing, but she wasn't going to let herself get distracted. She called her dogs, which immediately showed up as the crowd parted.

"Who are you?" She asked narrowing her eyes. She had met a lot of demigods, but he seemed different and his stubborn attitude didn't help.

"You don't know who I am?" he asked almost incredulous, like it was a crime she didn't know who he was. Thunder boomed and the sky, but the boy only rolled his eyes and glared at the sky.

"I'm Aaron Arrow." Her dogs snarled at him and Reyna pressed her sword even closed to him, but didn't draw blood. He raised his hands as if surrendering.

"You can check my wallet and everything!" He exclaimed, although he was still glaring at the sky.

Reyna dug out his wallet, but sure enough there was New York license with his name on it. She sighed and withdrew her sword from his neck. The guy didn't seem to be too concerned about whether the sword was removed or not though.

Reyna eyed him cautiously sizing him up. He was old for starters, which meant he came from somewhere and Reyna was pretty sure it wasn't Camp Half-Blood. But she couldn't question him about it here, not with everyone watching. Finally she threw him back his wallet, which he caught without batting an eye.

"Congratulations, you're part of the Twelfth Legion. You're on probatio. Centurion Levesque, show him around. The rest of you are dismissed until muster." Reyna said deadpan.

People started dispersing while Hazel came up and grabbed the guy's arm. Reyna shook her head, something was off and she was going to get to the bottom of it.
