Thaila's POV

"We are about to fire, get down!" I screamed to the demigods down the hill.

Artemis told us the Romans were attacking the Greeks and she sent us here to make peace, or end the war as quickly as possible. We were teleported here by Artemis; she had been able to control her Roman counterpart as there were no signs of the Romans at our camp.

When we arrived at the big house in Camp Half-blood, I saw everyone getting ready for war; not a single smile on anyone's face. We were apparently a bit late to the party as I heard sword fighting in the distance. After blowing the hunters horn we all ran towards the sound of battle.

After a minute, we arrived on the top of Half-Blood hill. I saw Jason and Annabeth sitting by my pine tree, whispering in fear. As soon as they saw me they stopped whispering, and Annabeth quickly ran to me and hugged me tightly. Something didn't feel right though, she seemed nervous; as if I would cut off her head any minute.

"Hey Annabeth, how've you been? Why isn't the rest of Camp Half-Blood fighting?" I asked her. Her expression quickly turned serious as she peered over the hill again.

"I've been…good" she said slowly, though she sounded anything but good. "The rest of camp is preparing for an attack later today; right now we just wanted to assess their strength." She answered the second question quickly, probably knowing I was going to ask her what the matter was.

"Oh, well let me take a look to see how strong these Romans are" I told her enthusiastically. I've been itching for a good battle. As soon as I took a step towards the hill, a large hand grabbed my wrist. I turned around to see Jason looking at me fearfully while my sisters began to grip their bows tightly. "At ease hunters, he is my brother" I told them as I watched their grips lessen slightly.

I then turned to Jason with a questioning look, why did he hold me back?

"Sorry, but please, it's best not for you to see." He told me somewhat sternly. I don't know where he got the idea I needed protection. Jason is my little brother and I wasn't going to take orders from him. I tore my wrist from his hand before moving close enough to see the battle going on below us. There I saw nine extremely powerful demigods, dressed in black armor, destroying the Greek 'army' of demigods with little effort. At this point they weren't even an army; they were about twenty half-bloods trying to fight for their own survival. Each demigod was being slain without a second thought. If this is just a small fraction of the Roman army I don't think we'll be winning this war.

"We are about to fire, get down!" I screamed to the demigods down the hill. I don't think many were going to live but I had to save whomever I could. I looked towards to my sisters to see their bows already drawn.

We began to shoot volleys' of arrows at the half-bloods in black. Unfortunately they formed some weird formation that stopped our arrows from even touching them. I was vaguely aware of a few arrows that hit a few Greeks that had no shield from the arrows.

We finally finished our arrow strike and looked at the carnage. Excluding the people in the shield formation, no one was alive. Almost every dead carcass was accompanied by an arrow that had accidently hit them.

"Shoot another arrow and the maiden dies" I heard a familiar voice bellow from down the hill. I couldn't quite say who he was but I did see he had a sword pointing at a young girl's neck.

I was in a corner; I couldn't let the girl die; especially if it's likely the warriors were skilled enough to evade our arrows.

"Bows down sister, as much as I hate to admit it, his warriors will likely escape our arrows. I don't think milady would be pleased if a maiden is killed for nothing."

I commanded them softly. They each grudgingly but down their bows, they knew my words were true.

I looked at the ten figures slowly backing out of the valley, along with the little girl, going to where I guess the Romans were positioned. I turned my head to Annabeth and Jason looking fearful.

"He sounded familiar, do I know him?" I asked them. They both began to pale, Annabeth looked close to tears.

Jason finally steeled his nerves after a few seconds and told me three simple words.

"It was…Percy."

Line Break

I took a few calming breaths as I sat on the beach. Annabeth, Jason, and recently joined, Piper sat a few feet away from me looking extremely nervous. I tried to form my questions in words; I knew they were partly responsible for whatever was going on with Percy. Percy would never betray his home, never!

"Before I start, it would be wise for you to tell the truth, all of it." I told them in a deadly calm voice. I looked into each one of there strangely colored eyes. They each slowly nodded; none of them would meet my eye.

"Now why is Percy attacking us? I know Percy wouldn't normally do so." I asked them in the same deadly calm voice. Each of them seemed to contemplate lying to me, which made my eyes narrow. I felt the electricity spark off my body."

"A girl named Erra, daughter of Poseidon, champion of Aphrodite and Ares, hypnotized the camp into doing acts of betrayal against Percy and showed them to Percy." Piper said while shuddering slightly. I was about to let that sink in when I detected they weren't telling the whole truth.

"Last warning, I want the whole truth" I told them in barley suppressed rage. They each distanced themselves from me slightly before Jason spoke up. "Here, I'll tell you what happened, from the start"

And so he did. He told me of the heartbreak they put the other Praetor in. They told me how Annabeth and Leo kissed and Percy saw. They told me about Erra and her antics. They finally finished by telling me that Erra girl impersonated me and ruined any hopes of peace we had left.

I listened to them, anger spreading through my body like hot fire. After Jason finished he stared at the ground, not looking me in the eye.

I turned to Piper and Jason, "Was it worth it" I asked them coldly. They both flinched, as if they've been asked this before. Unfortunately my patience completely snapped when they hadn't answered me immediately, my anger finally boiled out.

"WAS IT WORTH IT!? TO THINK MY OWN BROTHER COULD BE SO STUPID. YOU JUST COST US THE WAR WITH GAEA, OUR LAST CHANCE WITH PEACE, AND MY FRIEND PERCY'S HAPPINESS. YOU'RE JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER SONS OF ZUES, PIGS! YOU BREAK THE HEART OF YOUR WIFE, YOUR WIFE, FOR WHAT? A GIRL YOU'VE BARLEY KNOWN! YOU RISKED EVERYONES LIFE! SO TELL ME FOOLISH BOY WHO I CAN LONGER EVEN CONSIDER MY BROTHER, WAS IT WORTH IT!?"

Jason began to shed the first tears he'd ever shed. I wanted to feel bad, but I didn't, he needed to hear the truth. I then turned her eyes to a pale Piper.

"AND HOW CULD I FORGET ABOUT THE SLUT OF THE HOUR! HOW MY BROTHER FELL FOR SUCH A FOOLISHLY WEAK DAMSEL IS A RIDDLE TO ME. OH, I KNOW! YOU BOTH ARE IDIOTS, YOU'RE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. YOU'RE NOTHING MORE THAN A HOME WRECKING BITCH WHO CAN'T EVEN HALF-WAY WEILD A DAGGER!

"SPEAKING OF THAT DAGGER, I HEARD GOOD 'OL HELEN OF TROY WEILDED IT. APPARENTLY WHOEVER WEILDS IT TURN INTO LOVESTRUCK NIMBOS WHO ARE SO SELFISH THEY ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE OTHER FOR THEIR OWN HAPPINESS!"

Piper looked shocked (no pun intended) at my words. The shock then shifted from anger, to guilt, to sadness. She began to cry as well, though she didn't try and hold Jason for comfort. She knew better than to do that in front of me right now.

I turned to a frightened Annabeth to give her a piece of my mind. Unfortunately, right as my mouth opened, the war horn sounded in the distance; the battle must be starting. Giving Annabeth one last glare I ran to Half-Blood hill, ready for what was likely to be a massive battle.

Line Break

I looked onward at the ten thousand demigods marching towards us. I'd never seen an army of this magnitude organized so well. The all wore the same armor and shield. Their boots stomped loudly as they marched towards us in unison.

One look at the Greek demigods and it was easy to tell they were outmatched. They weren't armed as much nor were in any real formation, excluding the Ares kids. The only thing that could possibly make this battle more balanced is if Jason gave it all he had. I don't know how he would respond to fighting his old comrades.

The Greeks and the Romans were marching towards each other, neither army saying a word. The armies were going to meet in the middle of the hill. This is usually a geographic advantage for the Greeks, but because the Romans had longer weapons, the Greeks had to be wary of falling into the roman weapons before they get close enough to attack.

I told the huntress what I learned and they immediately wanted to withdraw from the war; fighting for love wasn't something a huntress of Artemis does. Never the less we were half heartedly shooting at the Romans though very few arrows hit any flesh. The Romans had well equipped armor and extremely large shields.

"Romans, today we attack for glory, for retribution, for victory, FOR ROME!" I heard a confident female bellow. She looked like the leader of the Romans; I guessed she was Reyna, Jason's ex-wife.

As soon as her little speech finished the Romans roared before charging at the Greeks. The defining sound of metal on metal roared throughout the hill. The sheer loudness required me to close my eyes. When I opened my eyes I saw an entire line of Greeks on the ground being stabbed by blood thirsty Romans.

The Romans drew first blood, the Greeks were already slightly scattered. The battle turned into a slaughterhouse from both sides. Spears were flying, deeply lodging into unsuspecting victims. Everywhere you looked, there was fighting, screaming, and dying.

The battle hadn't gone on for more than five minutes and there were already about five hundred losses in total.

My eye caught the demigods from the prophecy, each were fighting their own battle.

Annabeth's face looked determined as she continuously dodged swings from a rather large Roman male. He had a spear with the tip coated in blood and a firm shield that Annabeth couldn't seem to infiltrate. The boy couldn't seem to land a strike on the faster Annabeth but was well in control of the fight. Every time Annabeth would lunge at him he would block her strike with his shield before narrowly missing her with his spear. Annabeth looked like she was growing weary from the battle and she needed to end it fast. She feigned a strike at his head before ducking and swiping at his leg.

The boy saw this coming, however, and dodged her swipe before kicking her chest. I felt guilt run through my body. I had distracted her before the battle, and now it was going to lead to her dying.

Just as the spear the boy was wielding began to descend to Annabeth's chest, a small hammer wielded from none other than Leo stopped it. The clash of medal could be heard all the way up the hill where the hunters and I were waiting. We just merely watched the battle as we could not shoot the Romans without risking hitting the Greeks.

The boy and Leo began trading blows, hammer to spear. Leo was decent with the hammer, but the boy with the spear was obviously the more skilled fighter. The two continued like this for another minute before Leo was disarmed. A look of superiority crossed the boys face as he began taunting Leo. Leo quickly sent balls of fire into the kids face, buying him enough time to grab a stray sword from the ground and completely decapitate the Roman.

Breathing a sigh of relief before I turned my attention to Jason, who had just killed yet another Roman. He was in his element, dodging, slashing, and hacking his way through Romans, one by one.

Right as he lunged to attack another roman his blade was met by a beautiful celestial bronze sword. I recognized it as Riptide, meaning Percy had just entered the fight. The Romans formed a circle between the two combatants. I was able to see Percy's figure in beautiful pitch black armor. Percy's battle posture looked relaxed but alert. Jason's looked incredibly stiff. Percy began to circle Jason who stood still with his guard up. After a few seconds Romans shouts were heard as Percy lunged at Jason.

A/N That was a really fun chapter to make. Sorry to end it on a cliff hanger but I haven't decided Jason's fate yet. Yes I spared Annabeth this time, don't worry there will be some Annabeth bashing later. Sorry I couldn't update daily this week but I'm nearing the end of the quarter and teachers LOVE giving me work. My story seems to growing, I appreciate all of you who follow, favorite, and review; it keeps me inspired.
