Hope you enjoy it.

Reyna

Reyna was happy for a while; they were dancing and singing camp songs around the fire. Her brethrens surprise her when they drag her out of the infirmary and gave her a makeover.

The Apollo kids said that Percy was okay but he did not stop screaming, she waited there whole afternoon holding his hand. Then when he finally stopped, she relaxed. This idiot did save us, what happen to him, Reyna wondered. They were all surprise when the surgical cutter bloke like it was made of plastic. They tried everything, bone saws, cutters. But they all bounce or got pulverized when they touch his skin. The Apollo kids did not have any choice but to give up, two of them got fainted when they resolve to healing magic, since they cannot find the internal wound without making a surgery. Nectar and ambrosia burned his skin when it came contact, which is impossible even for a mortal. They spot on his back got worse, it darkened and more black veins appeared. They could not do anything but to wait for him to recover or die.

When she saw him by the shores, he was talking to someone, she could hear two voices and the water seems to glow in green light. She was hoping for some alone time in the shore, thinking on their next strategy or Jason. Reyna notice that Percy took a shower, all the dried blood on him where washed up, and she admits, he was good looking when washed. When talking to him she did not ask about what happen nor tell him that he vomit blood and sand or the fact that he was invincible and allergic to the food of gods. There is time in everything and with his amnesia he might not know the answer as well. She was also curios about that sword he use, the bronze one, and the fact that he called her Aphrodite not Venus.

Now he was singing with them, the mars kids and Stadler even shook hands with him. He finally got accepted in the Legion camp. They gave him a laurel, a symbol for acknowledgement and a job well done. Reyna told them about how she rescues him, and they were all laughing.

Then the news came, she saw Hazel pushing to the crowd. Her black hair was messy and her face was puffed form crying. "Reyna its Lupa" she said breaking up tears. They all stopped, "she's dying."Reyna was shocked, like a spear pierced her heart. "What?" that was all she could say. "She demands to see you."Hazel said lowering her head.

They all run to Lupa's temple. It was on the western part of the camp. Even though they hated her for not helping out, she was still the one who raises them, train them. Lupa was lying on the center marble floor, breathing heavily. Some of the camper where already around her putting in fresh cloth to her bloody belly. Reyna kneeled before her, crying. "So this is why you can't help. You where hurt from the last battle. Why did you not tell us!" she demanded. Lupa was unconscious, the other camper tried to comfort her. "She is losing her essence. Soon she will….." Hazel said between sobs. Why did she not tell me? Did she want us to concentrate on the battle and not on her? They could have saved her. Reyna's thoughts were razing her head. Then she relaxed, "We can still save her, everyone think of something especially the Apollo's" She shouted.

Everyone was tensed even Percy who was standing in shock at one corner. "What about ambrosia or nectar. "Someone asked at the back. "We already tried, no effect" Hazel was answered. "Maybe we can take her to the hospital" someone shouted again."No you idiot, that would not work either, just think of something that can strengthen her again." Reyna shouted back. Mortal medicine can't help and with her condition now ambrosia and nectar will not help. If only Jason was here, wait Jason? Reyna's thought was racing for the Greek mythology. "The golden fleece" she announced everyone was confuse, Percy struggled. "What is that?" Stadler asked. "It is from the Greek mythology, I remember Jason stole it." Reyna was still thinking. "Jason? I don't remember he stole something like that." Said one of the Mercury kids. "No, not our Jason, the original Jason from the myth." Reyna stood up "I must go, I will find It.", "I will go to" Stadler said, then everyone seems they want to go, they all raise their hands to volunteer.

They all went silent when Lupa open her eyes, "Water, stay out.…Tri.." she said grasping for breath like she was drowning. Then she relaxed. Her eye glowed green. "No one is going anywhere, Reggie, make sure no one leaves this camp. " her voice was deadly serious, it was like a different Lupa, this was just not her. "But, we must save you." Reggie ,leader of the sons of Mars and the one who was taking care of the camp's security, took a shaky breath, he knows what will happen if he disobey Lupa. "You dare..!"Lupa's voice was deeper than usual; it was almost like a male voice. "Yes ma'am!" Reggie said fast interrupting Lupa. "Now all of you leave!" Lupa let out a bark of anger. And they all run outside.

Reyna was outrageous, stubborn old wolf!, she cursed under her breath. Everyone was silent; they all met at the court. "What should we do" said Stadler. "Nothing" announced Reggie, "You all heard Lupa, no one is taking any action. Let us just hope Polybotes won't attack for a while." He looked at Reyna and nodded. Reyna understood, she has to save Lupa, even if she disobeys her.

The camper broke up, some had gone to sleep, and others tend the wounded in the arena.

She waited, until she can hear no leaving being awake. The moon was giving him light, she slip to the camp's supplies. She had stolen the keys; which she found lying on the table on the court. Reggie was supposed to be taking care of it. She unlock the door and did not turn on the light, she found a backpack then filled it with supplies, ambrosia, nectar, sleeping bag, mortal money and some clothes.

She stopped when she heard footsteps outside. She hid in a pile of towel, a boy entered. He was holding a sword, but he seems surprise to found the door unlocked. He picked a backpack the filled it with anything he can found useful. Reyna stood up, pulling her own knife then carefully walk behind the boy. Half way, she hit a chair, the boy turned then notice the knife, he strike with such speed Reyna could not react. He grabbed her hand, the one with the knife then put his own sword on her neck. Reyna look at the sword, it was bronze, "Percy?" she asked. The boy pulled his sword but did not let go of her hand. "What are you doing here?" she pulled her hand free and hid her knife. "I just need some supplies." He said showing his face on the light of the moon. He looked terrible; she could see black veins on the base of his neck. "What happen to you? Where are you going?" Reyna backed away. "I need ….I'm dyi" he did not finish, Reyna heard a wolf howl. She pulled Percy and her backpack. Then they raced north.

Percy's hands were cold. They reach the boundary of the camp. Reyna pulled Percy until they reach a road. She could not hear the wolf's howl, good. They found a cab then she told the driver to take them to the golden gate bridge. "San Francisco?" Percy asked. "Yes, didn't you know?" Reyna struggled "Oh, right amnesia." Reyna could sense Percy's fear, but it is not for her. "Where are you going? Why do you need supplies?" Reyna asked. "Chicago" Percy lowered his head. "I need to find Medea."
