A/N: False alarm again…sorry. I was sick today so I had time to write a chapter! And again, I will put the Romans in this chapter! The SYOC is officially CLOSED.

Chapter 5- Why is it so hard to breathe?

POV Janice (Daughter of Venus, Second in Command of Camp Jupiter)

I gather a small group of Romans together. I had received word from the Head Girl of Camp Half-Blood that I needed to take people to Vatican City to activate something. She said don't take too many people. So I didn't.

"You're here because I trust you and you are coming with me. We will also need to pick up some Greeks from New York on our way." I say facing them. Eboni Ashers, daughter of Trivia is on my left, and Juliana Isles on her other side.

"How many Greeks will we be picking up?" Eboni asks, puzzled.

"A lot, three or four. But I trust them, and we have to get out of here soon," I say ushering them forward. I hear rustling and I slam them into a small hiding place.

"Janice, what a pleasure to finally see you," Praetor Greene says standing behind me.

I slowly turn and his sword is drawn. "What are you doing?" I ask, paralyzed.

"I saw you talked to the foolish Head Girl of Camp Half-Blood and you are part of the activation sequence as well," Greene says and slowly push my hands farther down, and wield one of my knives.

"You cannot attack your Praetor," Greene says with a daring smile on his face.

"I can if he has committed treason," I say, lifting my leg up and kicking his face. "Go! Go!" I scream at Eboni and Juliana.

Juliana starts running immediately and I have to help Eboni up. "Get out of here!" Juliana says, getting Eboni's other arm.

"That won't hold him for long," Janice says, her brown hair is now a mess as they continue running. Venus is not as cowardly as everyone thinks she is.

"That was brave," Juliana says with an air of appreciation and this time Janice accepts it. She smiles at the girl and continues running. They reach the car where their plane tickets to New York are waiting.

"Shall we?" Eboni says with a smile. We each take a ticket and we drive to the local apirport to leave for New York.

POV Asher Andersen (Son of Athena, Head of Athena cabin)

They immediately called a cabin leader meeting in which I had to quickly get ready to go to. All of the cabins are represented now, and they even have a hall for it. There are almost thirty three seats now I believe, and the Olympians aren't the only ones represented.

I sit down in the Athena chair which is right beside Demeter and Aphrodite chairs. At the head of the table is Chiron in the center chair, on his right is Flin and immediately they start to talk.

"We need to send out teams! Janice and her group are already on her way." Flin says.

"But we cannot risk hurting Miss Jezebelle once again after last time. It would be too dangerous," Chiron dismisses.

"I can decide whether or not I can handle things. If I would indeed be hurt in this quest, it would be in for the better of the camp and the gods," Jezebelle snaps.

"Fine. But be warned Jezebelle, your mother is in a great time of needing you right now, and if you are unable to get to your activation point you have to have someone that will be willing to activate it," Chiron says eyeing her and I see Jezebelle pale. I know she knows what he is talking about. But I can't prove it.

POV Jezebelle (Head Girl of Camp Half-Blood, Daughter of Hera)

Chiron dismisses the council and I get off my chair. I look around for Flin before realizing he probably left. I hang back to wait for someone and then I see Willow from Demeter coming my way. "Want to come talk with me in the Demeter cabin?" Willow asks with a way too big smile on her face. Something's just not right…

"Why? I have to find Flin first," I say, trying to look around her as I saw a swish of blue.

"Just to talk," Willow says, moving wherever my head goes.

"What are you doing?" I ask, putting my hands at my hips.

"Nothing," She says with an innocent look on her face.

Jezebelle walks forward, and moves Willow out of her way. She gasps and Willow's face melts from a smile to a dark grimace. Jezebelle stumbles back before realizing she cannot show anything. No one can know how she feels. Juliette from Aphrodite and Flin were holding hands, walking away from them. "I'm so, so sorry," Willow whispers to Jezebelle.

Jezebelle doesn't answer, just turns and heads the other direction. Her hair flows behind her as she approaches the Hera cabin. She flops onto her bed and starts to sleep. "Daughter. Daughter." A voice echoes in Jezebelle's mind.

"What?" Jezebelle asks as she sees a woman in a white gown and dark brown hair.

"I am the goddess Hera. I have come to warn you of the dangers ahead. And to give you this." Hera says, taking out a silver coin from her pocket.

Jezebelle takes it and looks at it. It has a blue glowing peacock in the middle. "You must follow the path of Hera. You have to settle a score that was never settled. It will be the hardest thing you have ever faced. He is more powerful than Kronos or even Zeus. Be very, very careful, and head into the Ancient Lands. Start on your path to Russia with your team, then appoint Willow from Demeter to lead your quest and leave to Rome. It will be very dangerous, daughter. No one has survived a fight with him as a mortal." Hera says and fades from the dream.

Jezebelle wakes up and looks at the silver coin with the blue peacock on the front lying in her lap. She has to make sure that Willow is going with her. And tht her emotions stay out of the way while she gets to Rome.

A/N: I felt good writing that chapter. The Path of Hera is like the Mark of Athena, if you kind of got that… Flin is kind of half-cheating on Jezebelle and Janice is embarking on a very dangerous trek across the United States to go to Camp Half-Blood and continue the activation process.

I need these questions answered if at all possible…

1. In a fight between Jezebelle and Flin whose side would your character support?

2. If your character would be with Jezebelle to go to Russia, what would they say about her going away to the Ancient Lands…

3. Who do you think Jezebelle faces when she gets to the Ancient Lands?
