Chapter 13

POV Janice

I actually worry for the Hera girl as we arrive in Rome. I wonder if they are around here. "Let's go," I tell my group and they follow me. Eboni grins at me as we lurk around a building and I spot the Vatican. It is within distance.

"Go! Go!" I say, ushering them forward with an annoyed expression on my face. We approach the guard. Well, here goes nothing.

"We really need in," I say adding a hint of charmspeak into my voice.

"Do you have a ticket?" One asks nervously, looking at the other.

"No. But we really need in, could we please go in?" I ask, pouring it on. They open the gates without hesitation this time and I smile at them. That was almost too easy.

Juliana looks at me weirdly then taps them each on the shoulder, which turns them asleep. "You're powers do come in handy sometimes," Joey says, grinning at Juliana. She just shrugs with a little smile on her face. Juliana rarely ever smiles when I have seen her. I smile at Joey and Juliana.

Eboni leads us into the place, quickly followed by Gareth and Laurel. "What's wrong?" Victoria asks me quietly, as I stand in shock. The Swiss Guard that usually supports the Vaticans are morphing. Into monsters.

"The-them." I say shakily pointing at the guards who were supposed to be sleeping.

They're turning into taller versions of themselves, morphing together. "The hydra," I say with my eyes filled with fear.

"I thought it was killed a while back," Juliana says, looking back at it. The seven guards are morphing together, turning into the hydra. Joey wields a sword, Juliana with a couple knives and Eboni with a spear, trying to joust at the hydra.

I wield my glowing gold sword and throw back my dark brown hair. "Don't kill one of the heads! It will only spring up another!" Victoria says, her hands held up, preparing to flame the heads. Gareth and Laurels also are near her, ready to do the same thing.

"Maybe the fire will work!" Laurels says, as one of the heads lurches at Juliana. Juliana barely jumps out of the way before the head gets her.

"Try it!" I scream, trying to get out of the way as three heads all lunge for me. I guess they figured out there is strength in numbers. They all aim their hands at one of the heads and they torch the heads. I grin as the hydra falls to the ground. Yes!

"Let's go," Juliana says nervously.

"I agree," Joey says, hesitantly putting away his sword into its sheath. "Let's avoid the pope."

"Seems like a plan," I reply, not wanting to get into trouble as we near the Sistine Chapel. "It's in here."

POV Marisol (Daughter of Eris, Head of Eris Cabin)

Blake, Erica and I stare after Flin and Juliette, can't help but wondering why he believed her. She obviously used charmspeak. No one should be that stupid. "Let's go guys. We're nearing D.C.," Blake says, leading the girls from the car.

"Are we at least close?" I ask desperately.

"According to the map, yes we are. But maps aren't always correct. And according to my calculations our destination is the White House itself. It will be very hard to get into it. Especially with the more elevated security," Blake explains.

"Okay," Erica says, surprising me, she rarely talks to us.

"We're on the outskirts of D.C. now. Maybe we should get something to eat, just in case we would run into something and we would be too tired to do anything," Blake suggests.

"That's a good idea," Erica says, following Blake towards D.C.

Alexandria, a Virginia town barely outside of D.C. is ahead of us and we stop at a McDonald's. Blake orders for us and pays the cashier while Erica and I find a space to sit down at. "How about here?" Erica says, pointing to an empty booth where we could sit down.

"Sure, why not," I whisper, sitting across from Erica, and Blake slides into the space next to me. We start eating our meals and sit in silence the whole time.

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

I grab Hera's scepter and look at the glowing piece. It practically hums with magic as we step out of the water. "The earth won't hold him for long," Juliette says, her brown hair flowing in the breeze.

"Let's get going, the more distance between me and Hercules the better," Amber mutters, leading us forward.

We hear outraged cries as the shack flies apart. "go!" I shout, jumping out of Flin's arms and we all start dashing forward. We make it into the heart of Rome and we stop at a restaurant.

"I want to speak with Juliette please," I say, looking straight at Flin and Amber, not at Juliette herself. "In private."

"Couldn't hurt," Amber mutters in Flin's ear. He nods and I lead Juliette outside.

"What kind of sorcery do you have him under?" I demand, looking her straight in the eye.

"Oh Jezebelle. If only you were smart enough to figure that out yourself," With an arrogant smile Juliette says. I want to wipe that smirk right off her face.

"I'm more intelligent than you when I fart," I say with a pleased smile on my face as I walk back into the restaurant.

A/N: Sorry for the lack of updates. I was busy…sort of. XD Have to work on a speech…which happens to be Vatican City itself! So, that's why I knew that much.

Three things…

1: What did you think of the last line? (I was practically dying):

2: Would you prefer all of the activations work or not? (I'm unsure…):
3: Jezebelle or Flin? Why?:

Thanks all of my awesome readers!
