Hello, If you guys are looking for a good fic to read I recommend Obsidian Glass by Take Your Sweet Time. It's really good. And please review it because I can tell that the author put a lot of hardwork and time into it, and there aren't that many jeyna fic out there like that. Anyways back to my story...

Inspired by true events

…

REYNA

…

Argentum and Aurum pawed relentlessly at the cabin's door. By this point, there were probably deep gashes lining the bottom of Ares cabin's wooden door. Clarisse, who was already a huge fan of her dogs, was just going to love that. To be fair though, she was the one who insisted that Argentum and Aurum sleep outside.

"No Pets. No Exceptions," she stated.

Reyna tried to explain to her that Argentum and Aurum weren't "pets" they were simply metal automations who acted as her guardians.

"Why would you need guardians? Can't you fight for yourself?"

Reyna almost bit of her tongue off holding back her remark to those questions. She didn't want to make a scene. After all, she gave her word that she would follow Camp Half-Blood's rules, and she always kept her word.

Even from her bunk, she could hear Aurum's pitiful whines. She was sure his cries could be heard around the camp. They knew her daily routine well, so they knew that she was usually out of bed by now. Her dogs knew that something was wrong with her, and they really didn't like being separated from her when there was something wrong.

She tried again to find the strength to pull herself out of bed, but when she lifted her arms up they immediately fell back to her sides as if they were made out of lead. The pounding in her head was definitely not helping the situation. So, she pulled the blanket over her head as another cold chill passed over her body. Argentum and Aurum would just have to miss their daily walk this morning.

The Ares' cabin had finally become quiet. The snoring was worse than she had imagined, but it was especially bad last night with her headache amplifying every snort. Reyna wasn't able to sleep at all. The morning was even worst. Children of Ares are like bulls in a china shop, crashing into every piece of furniture, stomping their combat boots on the wooden floor, and making as much noise as physically possible. It wasn't until they stomped off to their breakfast, was Reyna finally able to close her eyes. But she was only able to close them for a few seconds, before the cabin door open.

"Reyna!"

Reyna growled. She was going kill that young centurion.

"Reyna, are you alright?" Frank timidly asked. He must have been looking right at her, but Reyna pretended to be asleep.

Under normal circumstances, Frank didn't bother Reyna at all (Though she wasn't quite happy to add him to the list of people who have seen her in her pajamas) but at the moment she really wished he just go away.

"Reyna?"

She took a deep breath and pulled blanket further over her head. She hoped that he would take the hint, and leave her alone so that she could finally get some rest. Normally, she would have answered him, but it really didn't seem like a good idea to open her mouth at this moment.

After a few seconds, Reyna heard the cabin's door open and closed again. Argentum's and Aurum's barks became more furious as Frank passed by them. She closed her eyes again and prayed for the painlessness of sleep to overcome her.

There were a few moments of blissful peace before the door opened again. She should have known right away by the way Argentum and Aurum immediately stopped barking who it was, but she wasn't currently thinking clearly. Whoever it was must have let Argentum and Aurum in because she could hear their metal feet tap across the floor. Then a great heavy lump jumped onto her bed almost crashing her, and began sniffing her head.

"Aurum, Descendamus!"

Reyna jumped when she heard Jason's voice. She didn't want him to see her like this.

The heavy lump was pulled off of her and replaced with lighter touch to her back.

"Hey Rey, are you asleep?"

She would have rolled her eyes if he could have seen them. Of course, she wasn't asleep. People wouldn't leave her alone long enough for her to fall asleep. She slowly pulled the blanket off her head. Jason was sitting on the edge of her looking right at her. He smiled at her.

"Well, there's my little ray of sunshine."

"Shut up," she grumbled laying her head back down onto her pillow.

"Frank said you weren't feeling well."

"That's the understatement of the century." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as another wave of nausea passed over her. Even one full year into their relationship wasn't acceptable amount of time for Reyna to be comfortable with throwing up in front of him. That was one part of her she really didn't want Jason to see.

He placed the palm of his hand against her cheek. She hadn't realized how hot she was until she felt the cooling relief the touch of his skin brought to her face.

"Reyna, you're really warm. I think I should get Chiron or one of the Apollo kids to come look at you."

She shook her head. She suddenly didn't want him to leave her.

"Argentum and Aurum are worried about you."

It was true. She could hear their nervous sniffs and they circled around her. But once again, she didn't feel like answering.

He sat there with her for a few minutes in silence. She must have looked pretty bad off because it wasn't long before she felt him get up again.

"I'll be right back, Wild Cat." She felt him kiss her forehead, and a few moments later she heard the door again. She must have blacked out some time after that because next thing Reyna knew she was waking up inside the Big House's infirmary. The pounding inside her head was gone, and she didn't felt as warm as she did. Looking around the room, she discovered that she was all alone except for Argentum and Aurum who were curled up asleep at her feet. A few rays of orange light shown through the two windows behind her. The sun was setting. She must have been asleep all day.

"Hey"

She looked up to see Jason walking through the door.

"How are you feeling?"

"Better," she answered.

He sat down next to Argentum on the edge of her bed. "We moved you in here so you could get some rest. The Ares kids can be kind of loud."

"And they smell too," she joked. Reyna expected Jason to laugh, but he didn't. Instead he looked away from her disappointedly. "I was just kidding," she quickly retorted. Most people didn't understand her jokes.

"You're not enjoying yourself here, are you?" He asked sadly.

"No, I am," she lied, straightening herself up. "Besides getting sick, I'm having a great time."

"You know with someone with lie detecting dogs, you would think you would be a better liar."

She sighed. "I am trying, Jason."

"I know," he murmured. "I wanted this trip to go so differently. I wanted us to enjoy Camp Half-Blood together."

She nodded. She knew it was all her fault. Why couldn't she just relax for once, and forget about Camp Jupiter for a few hours? But she never could, it was part of her. It was in her blood. "It's just that this place is so different, and irritating. Some of the rules are just plain stupid."

"You know there's a lot of Camp Jupiter's rules that I find stupid."

"Yes, but they are logically stupid," she replied. He gave her a curious look, so she continued. "They're all there for a reason, but Camp Half-Blood, how they run their camp it doesn't make sense. Take, for example, Camp Half-Blood's set up. They break up their campers according to their parentage, making you eat, sleep and train with people exactly like you with the same skills, talents and weakness. But how are you supposed to learn when you are walking around with a bunch of mirrors all day?"

"The cabins are like families. They call each other brothers and sisters here," replied Jason.

"And what about the people who don't have anyone else? Like you or Percy," remarked Reyna. "Can you honestly tell me that you like sleeping on marble floors, and being focus to eat at a table all by yourself? Camp Jupiter is more than a group of families, it's a community. We don't judge people by where their blood comes from, but by their skills and commitment to their people. By splitting campers up by their parentage they are glorifying those who come from important gods and shunning those who don't. You hear it all the time when they introduce themselves. 'Katie, daughter of Demeter.' 'Travis, son of Hermes.' It's almost racist."

"Percy told me all about the Titian war the Greeks fought before we met them. He said was worst before the war. Before they used to shove all the demigods of minor gods into the Hermes' cabin, even though it was already overcrowded. Does that make any sense to you? Making kids sleep on the floor while cabins lay empty? Now, that's stupid. Percy says it why Luke joined Kronos in first place."

"And Clarisse, the leader of the cabin I am staying in," Reyna continued. "She refused let her cabin fight in the Titian war at first. Not because she was scared or concern about them, but because she felt her cabin was disrespected over some stupid chariot. There isn't a single Roman soldier who wouldn't fight for the Legion, and if there was I would kick their podex so hard they would be halfway across the battlefield before they changed their mind. Camp Half-Blood's system, it inspires disloyalty. I know Camp Jupiter isn't perfect, but at least we are united."

"And another thing, they have no way of getting a hold of campers once they leave camp. What happens when the end of world doesn't just happen to occur during the summer months? They would all be doomed. If the senate really wants to take over Camp Half-Blood all we have to do is attack during October because no one, except for a few loners, would be here."

She stopped to catch her breath.

Jason gave her a long unreadable look. "You've been holding this in for a while, haven't you?"

"Yes," she answered looking down at her hands. "Yes, I have." She was worried that she had said too much, but her recent illness just made everything to come out. "They don't take anything seriously. It's all just a game to them."

Jason continued to stared back at her. "Exactly, Camp Jupiter takes everything so seriously all the time. I mean, we're children of the gods! Can't we have a little fun?"

"It's serious because our lives are at stake, Jason, and the lives of our friends, families and neighbors. You know, children of demigods are just are likely to attract monsters as any average demigod. They carry our scent, and that doesn't go away for a few generations. Most of the Greek campers probably don't even know that. They don't train legacies at Camp Half-Blood, they leave it up their parents to teach them if they still have any. There's a reason why the majority of Romans decided to live out their lives in New Rome. It's a dangerous world out there for demigods. And most don't make it."

"Maybe that's what we can do. We can help build Camp Half-Blood up, so that they support their campers. Maybe we can help them build a city like New Rome, call it New Athens or something."

Reyna tilted her head to her left. "Do you honestly except me to go to the Senate and ask their permission to assist in developing Camp Half-Blood into a fully functional camp?"

"Well, we could just give Percy and Annabeth some advice under the table."

"That's treason, Jason."

"That's being helpful, Reyna," Jason retorted. "Annabeth has told me that she wants us to keep doing this camper exchange thing every year. Camp Jupiter's soldiers can come to Camp Half-Blood and vice versa."

"And why would we do that?"

"To build friendships," answered Jason. "To strengthen our alliance."

"I'm not so sure I want an alliance with Camp Half-Blood."

"And why not?" He blurted.

"Because they have nothing to offer us. This trip has shown me that."

Jason looked away from her, and frowned.

"I'm sorry Jason," Reyna quickly mumbled. She didn't like disappointing him. "I'll think about it. Ok?" She reached out and grabbed his hand. "This is probably the longest time we have spent together since we got here. People are always barging in on us. And what's with this whole no boys and girls alone in the cabin rule anyways? They'll trust us with weapons of mass destruction, but we can't be trusted to make responsible choices if we are in a room alone together?"

"We're alone now."

"No, we're not. Argentum and Aurum are here too, and they inspire more responsible thinking than any stupid rule."

Aurum lifted his name at the sound of his name, and growled at Jason as if to remind him to kept his funny business to the minimal, proving her point.

"Oh, I remember Aurum," Jason mumbled.

Thinking back to their conversation, she shook her head. "They'll trust Leo with a blowtorch, a life size metal dragon, and a sword, but we can't be alone together inside your cabin."

"Any other comment you would like to make about Camp Half-Blood?" Jason's voice sounded more amused than annoyed.

"No, I'm done."

Jason slowly stood up. "You should get some more rest. You still look a little pale. I'll come check on you in the morning."

She watched him approach the door.

"I love you," she blurted before his hand had reach the door knob. It was stupid and random, but she just wanted to reconfirm his feelings for her before he left so she wouldn't spend the rest of the night replaying their conversation in her heard wondering if she was too harsh.

Jason didn't catch onto this of course. He just looked at her curiously. There weren't the lovey dovey type of a couple. They didn't declare their love for each other at every given opportunity, but on the rare cases they did, it definitely was never initiated by her.

"I love you too." He smiled back her, then left.

Finally at peace, Reyna laid back down in her bed, and then she beckoned Aurum closer. He obeyed, crawling towards her until his head rested on her shoulder.

"I'm such an idiot sometimes, Aurum. Whatever are you going to do with me?"

By true events I mean that I was really sick this pass weekend and I didn't have a Jason to take care of me *cry*. Please make it up to me by reviewing. Please?
