A/N: Sorry for the long wait, I'll try to post more often, I've had a pretty rough week and I'm failing 2 of my classes so my parents confiscated my laptop. But I've got it back now, and I've got a few chapters almost ready to go. Hope you enjoy ;)
Octavian was stunned, something that didn't happen very often. He prided himself to be prepared for anything. But this girl, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, Octavian hadn't been prepared for her. She had long red hair pulled back in a bandanna. Her clothes were covered in paint and her green eyes sparkled in the moonlight. How had she seen him? Why was she holding her hands up to show she was unarmed? Octavian stopped his mind. He had done this many times before. He sprang up, took a few steps forward and Slashed his _ at the girl. She should have crumpled to the ground, she should have screamed, or something. But the girl just stood there. She hadn't even been hurt.
"I'm a Mortal" she smiled at him, completely unaffected, as if she this was an every-day thing for her. Maybe it was, the Greeks had strange ways of doing things.
"W-What?" Octavian found his voice. He slashed at her again, but the blade passed straight through, her smile never wavered.
"I'm completely human" she explained "Demigod weapons don't hurt me, mortal weapons, however, they can kill me"
This girl unnerved Octavian. Who was she? "Name, Rank and Status" he blurted.
"Rachel, Oracle and Single" she answered. "Oh, um, what?"
Octavian didn't know what to do with this girl. He couldn't really take her back at sward point. "I'm taking you with me" he said and snatched her wrist in his hand. He pulled her arm with him back to the fortress.
At the entrance to the camp Octavian found Dakota, who had clearly come looking for him, in his absence.
"W-What?" Dakota looked stunned to see Octavian dragging a girl by the arm behind him.
Octavian just stormed past him and walked straight to the Door of Reyna's Cabin. Fury filled his being and all he wanted to do was make this girl pay for... well that part Octavian didn't know. He wanted for her to feel the pain he had felt when his parents disappeared. But part of him didn't want to hurt her. Part of him wanted to protect her. And the original part of him wanted to hurt that part of him. But that part of him was the only part he was sure of.
Octavian's head spun. What was wrong wit him. He was ROMAN, she was a GREEK!
Octavian rapped his knuckles on the door in front of him. He heard shuffling inside and the door swung open revealing Reyna in a T-shirt and shorts.
Dakota ran up behind him and looked from Reyna to Octavian to the red-haired girl who hadn't said a thing and was still smiling.
"Octavian" Reyna said, still waking from her sleep "Who is that girl?"
Dakota then interjected "She's Pretty"
"Hello" the girl finally spoke. She ripped her arm from Octavian's grasp and smoothed out her shirt. "I'm Rachel Elizabeth Dare" she stretched out her hand to Reyna, but the gesture wan not returned so she dropped it. "You're Reyna, right? Jason told us about you"
The Roman demigods didn't answer. "I'm the Oracle of Delphi" she turned around. "You're Dakota right? Son of Bacchus? And you're Octavian, descendant of Apollo. And Reyna, you're the daughter of Bellona." Rachel's voice grew more and more confident with each Word.
"Ah, what?" Dakota's voice slurred on the 'what' and Octavian was so out-of-it he almost laughed.
"I found her in the forest" Octavian said, regaining his composure and recounted his encounter with the girl.
"I'll be your prisoner if you want" Rachel chimed in at the end of the story.
"That is not necessary" Rayna answered chewing her bottom lip like she did when she had to make a hard decision.
"We will keep her, though, won't we Reyna?" Octavian didn't know his motives, but he didn't want to girl to leave. If nothing else he wanted to see how much of the future this girl knew. And why she couldn't be harmed with his weapons.
Hope you guys liked this, I really am sorry for the wait. Anyways, Review with ideas, or just review anyway.
