Chapter 16

POV Janice (Co-Praetor of Camp Jupiter, Daughter of Venus)

"Janice. Want to stay at my cabin? It's pretty much empty," Someone says behind me, and it's a Greek, son of Phanes, Blake.

"Sure, why not?" I say and follow him, and almost to the last cabin on the edge of the ring of cabins, is an earthy cabin, full of soil and has a few beds inside. I take off my shoes and socks, and put them by a bed that I am using. I take my hair out of the ponytail and set it on the in-table that is sitting there.

I lay down in my bed, shooting occasionally looks at Blake, his long blonde hair tumbling down his chest as he lies in bed. I try not to look at him as I fall asleep, my last thoughts being of my life before all of this mess. In my dream, I see Greene, and he raises a whip and it cracks over my back and I scream. I don't realize I am screaming in my sleep, as I feel a hand touch my shoulder. "Janice," I see Blake's concerned face looking back at me.

"It was just a bad dream," I say, sitting up now and Blake sits on the edge of the bed. "You can go back to sleep if you want." Blake shakes his head and lies down next to me.

We lay in silence for a little bit, and I am thankful for him helping me. I lean in and give him a soft kiss on his cheek. He looks back at me in shock before returning the kiss. "I will never leave," I say softly, and we lay like that for hours.

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

"Flin. We need to talk," I say, shaking him awake, in the middle of the night. It is the only time where he isn't under Juliette's influence.

"Jezebelle," Flin says, turning to look at me, and I see cuts on his chest and arms. From previous battles and some from the quest.

"Juliette has her hooks in you, she is using some kind of charmspeak. Please listen to me," I plead with him, sitting down on his bed. He sits up now, and is looking at me with his sea green eyes, and my heart melts.

"I would know if she is doing something to my mind, Jezebelle, give me some credit," Flin groans, that's when I know her hooks are already latching on.

"But that's the point. She would make it so you wouldn't know. We have to chase her off," I say, sitting on the bed.

"Jezy, why are you telling me now?" Flin asks, his eyes on me.

"Juliette can't get to you during the nighttime." I say with a wistful smile on my face. He is starting to realize that he has been shoving me away, more and more each day.

"I'm so, so, sorry Jezebelle. I had no idea," Flin whispers. I can tell that he is very upset, and so I decide to do something that will make him feel better.

"Can you show me something with water?" I ask him.

"Why not?" He says with a mischievous smile, and I don't know why until a few seconds later. He undoes the covers and grabs me around the waist. I squeal and ask him calmly what he is doing.

I realize that he is trying to throw me into the lake to show me water and I say "No! No!" I squeal as he tries to throw me in, but I am clasped tightly to his skin on his neck.

"Those are some claws," Flin stutters as we both start to fall. Oh no.

My hands are digging into the skin on his back and he yelps and we tumble in. I shriek, the water is freezing! I laugh as I see him under the water, just standing at the bottom. I am floating on my back to make sure that I don't sink. I see him start to swim my way and I try to doggy-paddle away. But he grabs onto me and pulls me with him to the side of the lake, where the cold beach is. I laugh and lay down on the sandy beach. I am shivering from the cold water of the freezing lake that he so easily pulled me into. "So, how was that for water?" He asks, water dripping down his stomach.

"That was not cool," I say, and as he turns away from me, I see the red marks from where my fingers were. I try to stifle a laugh and he sits back onto the beach.

He sits on my right, and I lean onto him, shivering from the cold still. We sit there like that for hours.

POV Asher (Son of Athena, Head of Athena Cabin)

That morning, I wake up and slowly drag myself out of bed. I put on an orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and run a hand through my long hair. I have to find Jezebelle and tell her that one of the scouts saw something on Mt. Tam this morning.

I walk towards the Hera cabin, and don't see her inside. I take a walk around Camp and see her and Flin on the beach. What? Why would she be doing that? There must be a reasonable explanation for it. "Jezebelle!" I shout, and they turn to face me. Flin doesn't have a shirt on, and they are both soaked. "There was activity on Mount Othrys this morning." I say and they both follow me to the Big House.

A/N: Hi! This was just a fluff chapter. Next chapter will be exciting! I promise! We have introduced Fezebelle and Blanice! Yes, we came up with ship names. *Cough* Fairy Lori and I *Cough* If you want to participate in the Writing contest, I think the prize will be doing a big one-shot based off of the story and putting it in Falling Stars or three wishes for the story! Which one do you think I should do?
