A/N: This is the last chapter where it is still open. Only Romans are still accepted. I am glad to hear all of the feedback! :) I do truly appreciate it! In the next couple chapters expect heartbreak, happy times and political movement. I'm sorry if the Romans appear not as represented….
Chapter 2
POV Flin (Head Boy of Camp Half-Blood, Son of Poseidon)
The next morning I meet those that are coming with me outside the Big House. Willow arrives first with lilies lining her hair, followed by Evan and Amber. Pretty soon all of them have arrived. I eye Marisol, the daughter of Eris suspiciously. The goddess has never been an ally of the gods, and Flin saw no reason why to.
"If we are separated, I will need to elect someone that will lead in my place. I choose three, to balance the power. I choose Amber Grace, Willow Dewly and Juliette Alders," I realize I chose all girls, but it's too late. I trust them the most.
"I expect we will arrive to Jezebelle's location in three days' time, so everyone get in," I say as we all walk toward where a bus was outside Camp Half-Blood.
Amber and himself got into the front seats, him into the driver seat and her into the passenger seat. After about twelve hours of driving they arrive about cross country into the city of Omaha. They drove as fast as they could, and Amber prayed to Hermes to let them go faster than they were. "Okay, boys in one room, girls in another. We only have two rooms, so some will have to sleep on the floor," Flin directs after a long, boring drive of no talking.
Flin lead Evan, Joseph and Asher to the boys room and they had it decided that Evan and Asher would get the bed and Joseph and Flin would sleep on the floor. Flin had no problem with that at all. He couldn't wait to get up in the morning to be leaving and going to get on the way to find Jezebelle. At about 12:00 at night, he wandered downstairs.
After about fifteen minutes of sitting in the lobby on a couch, his raven colored hair in disarray he heard a voice "Flin? Are you alright?" He sees Amber Smith, the healer on the trip standing in the doorway with her blonde hair cascading down.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Flin whispers.
"You care about her a lot don't you?" Amber asks, sitting down next to him on the couch.
"I guess I do," Flin says, realizing that it's hurting him a lot more than he thought he would.
"I'm sorry. She is a very special girl," Amber says, with a little smile.
"Thank you," Flin whispers and feels like he's falling through reality, falling down through the floor. He slumps to the floor and feels his head swim.
"Flin?" Amber asks, digging in her bag for something. She takes out a bottle of something and a bit of ambrosia. She opens his mouth and pours in some nectar and then puts in ambrosia. It tastes of homemade brownies and a little bit of lemonade after.
Meanwhile, as he lay on the ground, Amber mutters to herself and runs toward the elevator. She comes back with the three boys. "I think it was some kind of mental break down, take him back to your room," She orders.
POV Janice (Daughter of Venus, Advisor to the Praetor)
I skirt the edges of the Bellona temple and quickly dash inside. I look around for the clothes they were going to offer to the gods. She had just gotten back from her hairdresser in downtown to dye her hair black instead of blonde. She grabs red clothes and quickly takes off her pink ones and puts them on. She's trying to come across as a child of Bellona of no significance. She has to search for the Praetor, she is honor bound to do so. If she wouldn't it would mean death. But she needs help…
POV Jezebelle (Daughter of Hera, Head Girl of Camp Half-Blood)
Jezebelle's eyes water with new tears from the pain of the blade. "Traitor," She whispers.
"I'm not a traitor. I'm only protecting New Rome from the threat that grows in the east," Greene says with an air of innocence.
"You are a traitor. We had a treaty. One that I brokered myself," Jezebelle says, her voice catching.
Greene does't reply so Jezebelle presses on. "So you allied with Titans?"
"It was in the best interests of Rome to rid themselves of the stain calling themselves the Greeks. Starting with you, we will wake the Earth Mother," Greene says, his eyes turning from stormy gray to dark brown.
"You will never get to Flin. Never," Jezebelle chokes, realizing the plan. They would wake the Earth Mother without Greene. It was a hoax. They meant to lead the Greeks to find her. She just had to get Flin to somehow not come after her.
"Oh, but we will. He's coming this way with a handful of Greeks at his back. Flin doesn't look in the best of health, the Apollo girl had to feed him some ambrosia," He taunts.
Amber Grace. How couldn't she have known? She begins to see each of the people he would likely pick. "Don't hurt him," Jezebelle sobs.
"You think you even have a chance?" Greene snorts.
A/N: I think that is a good place to stop. Sorry for the boring Flin parts…I really tried guys. It kind of was a bit of a filler chapter. Sorry!
