Chapter 7

Reyna

Roman Camp, San Francisco

Oh. My. Gods, Reyna thought to herself. She was in panic. This is not happening. I do NOT like Jackson! She didn't know what was wrong with her. She hated Percy, and was not in any way attracted to him. But yet, when she was looking into his eyes, it just felt right. But when she compared Percy's sea green eyes to Jason's deep blue, Jason's won by a long shot. She kept telling herself that, but she couldn't get the image of him grinning at her out of her head. Jason is the one you want, she told herself, not Jackson.

When she got back to her cabin, she looked in the mirror. Her face was still red from her embarrassment. Her hair was sticking out in different directions from running, and her shirt was torn from where Percy had slashed at her. She changed her shirt and combed her hair, then looked outside. It was still only 9:00. She had training to do. She was just going to have to suck it up and face Percy.

She walked out of the cabin, and suddenly an arm went around her shoulders. She looked to see who it was, and saw that it was Bobby. He looked at her and grinned.

"Getting cozy with the new kid, eh Rey?" he said, still grinning.

"Shut up Bobby…wait…how did you know about that?" Reyna asked, her face getting red again.

Bobby chuckled. "Perks to being a Mercury kid. I just happened to see you, ah, training, and wanted to see how good the new kid was. Turns out he's pretty good at sword fighting, and he's apparently good with ladies like you."

Reyna threw a punch at him, but Bobby dodged it easily. "Listen, I was not getting cozy with the new kid. I was trying to keep his arm from falling off and I tripped. Nothing romantic at all about it," she said.

Bobby grinned. "Oh, I know that, but Hailey and the rest of the Venus legion don't."

Reyna's face got extremely red. She started calling him some names that were so bad a girl from Minerva covered her little sister's ears and glared at her. Then right on time, Hailey walked over to them.

"Hey, Reyna. Bobby," she acknowledged them while Bobby was staring at her.

"Hailey...what do you know…?" Reyna asked suspiciously. If Hailey knew something, that meant the whole camp would know in no time.

Hailey smiled a gorgeous innocent smile and said, "Well, Bobby here told me that you and Percy were getting to know each other in the armory. Getting to know each other real well. Good for you Rey, he's pretty hot if I do say so myself."

Reyna wanted to slap Hailey. She was actually really nice, but she was still a child of Venus. "Listen, I was trying to keep his arm from falling off. He got cut, and while I was stitching him up, I tripped. Nothing happened. At all," she said. Hailey just chuckled, said, "Whatever you say," and skipped off and over to talk to one of her friends.

Reyna rolled her eyes and went to archery. Thank the gods she didn't have it with Percy, but apparently the whole camp knew about what had happened earlier that day. As Reyna grabbed her bow, everyone stared at her, some whispered.

Reyna narrowed her eyes at everyone and looked at the bows to pick from. She only wanted one bow, and that was hers. Everyone knew if you touched Reyna's bow, you died. Yet, the golden bow that was her preferred weapon was nowhere to be seen.

A girl from the Mars legion stepped up to her. "Looking for this?" she snarled. As she stepped closer, Reyna recognized her as Kara, one of the meanest and most violent of her siblings.

Reyna glared at her. "Give me my bow back, Kara. Now," she said with venom in her voice. Kara just laughed.

"Listen, princess. We heard about what you did with the Jackson kid, and quite frankly, we don't appreciate it. You're Jason's girlfriend, and he was our battle leader. We don't turn our backs on our leaders, even when they're gone," she said, cocking her head as if challenging Reyna to respond. A couple of her siblings were nodding in agreement.

Reyna rolled her eyes. "You've been listening to Hailey too much. I was not doing anything with him. He almost had his arm amputated when I was training him, and I was trying to keep it on him, but I tripped. I ended up on top of him, and that's all that happened. End of story."

"Oh yeah, I'm sure that's what happened," Kara said, smiling in a totally unfriendly way. "Anyway, we're gonna let you get away with it, princess. Except, of course, your beloved bow won't be so lucky."

Reyna gritted her teeth and stared at Kara. "You will not take away my bow. That is the one thing I will not have taken away from me." She balled up her fists, ready for a fight.

Kara smiled and snapped the bowstring. It made a sad almost musical sound, as if it were crying in pain. Reyna took a shaky breath and said, "You've crossed the line."

Just as Reyna was about to throw the first punch, Hazel walked in. "Woah woah woah. What in the name of Zeus is going on here?" she yelled, holding back Reyna.

"We're just taking care of a traitor," Kara said to Hazel, not taking her eyes off Reyna.

Hazel was just about to tell Kara and her friends to go back to their cabin when she saw the broken bow. "What did you do to her bow?" she yelled furiously. "Do you have any idea what you've done? That was her brother's bow! The one who was murdered by Khione!"

Everyone stared at Reyna in silence. Not many people knew about her brother. But what Hazel was saying was true. When Reyna was only 9 years old, her brother was sent out on a quest. Their father gave her brother the golden bow. On his quest, Khione killed him because he didn't want to become her pretty little statue. His bow was recovered, and they gave it to Reyna.

Kara looked almost remorseful. "Rey-Reyna…I didn't know…" she said in a hard voice, but Reyna had already grabbed her bow and was walking out of the room.

Percy Jackson was single handedly ruining Reyna's life.
