I got the whole rest of the week off so more time to write! As you may have guessed, I have nothing better to do in my free time. Sorry no reading in this chapter either. I just need to get some on these things some of these things over with before I move on. Because I really think It's time for Reyna to stop hating Percy and Annabeth.

Bright Blue 101: I didn't mean to make Alexander sound spiteful or evil or anything like that! That can't be his true personality. He just wants to be a hero like Percy. But the only way he can think of to stand out, is by doing something the others have not. Trust me, he isn't evil. Maybe misguided. And Preyna. At first you may not like it, but after a while, it grows on you. But I love Percabeth too.

Firstinclass: I have a feeling, if you look real closely (like REALLY close) in your PM inbox (the one in your account) then you might find hate mail from a certain little author. You will find that I give critique just as well as you do.

DaughterofPoseidon94: If you feel sorry for Jade now, worse is yet to come :D

Jade's POV

End of Flashback

It was after the chapter was finished. I had ran ahead enough to disappear from view of all the other campers reading.

There was a small garden surrounding my tent (I received a tent because A) I told everyone that I would like to room by myself, and B) I hardly visited anyway.) that I guess the Ceres children put there while I was away to make it look prettier.

It's not that I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I thought about it, it looked like a really good hiding spot.

I noticed it after Calliope Emerson popped out from inside the meadow like garden.

The garden was such a good spot because anyone could sneak under the tall flowers in a squat without being identified. The flowers acted like a canopy and you couldn't see anyone under them unless you looked very hard.

"Hi! I'm Calliope!" she leaped up from the flowers giving the allusion that she appeared out of thin air.

I vaguely recognized the 8 year old from meals. It wasn't like I stared at random people at dinner, but you couldn't miss Calliope.

The thing that caught most people attention was her hair.

The color wasn't something you could get from dye.

Her hair was as bright gold as her father's sun chariot, and glowed just as much.

Calliope coughed. Apparently this so far wasn't going according to the plan.

"I mean—Calliope Emerson at your service! Many people call me Sunny you know, EmerSON, but I don't like that. My dad calls me Little Emmy, but I will murder you in your sleep if you call me that too. So that leaves Callope, which is ok I guess. But I prefer to be called Calli."

Calli. Like, Cal-ee. I could live with that.

"Ermm, Ok Calli. I'm Jade Spellman daughter of Trivia. If you want to make fun of my last name do it now."

She looked at me funny.

"Why would I make fun of your last name?" She didn't get it, which was ok because the pun was tiring.

"Nevermind. So what is the pleasure that I owe this visit to you?" I asked politely. The little girl was humoring me.

"You've gotten one thing correct! You owe me a pleasure!" She cried happily.

What?

"I don't think you understand the expression. I used a nicer way of saying what do you want?" I made it clear and blunt this time.

All signs of playfulness dropped from her face. I remember from somewhere that the rumor was that, in addition of being daughter of Apollo, she was a legacy of Minerva.

I could see she inherited Minerva's mood swings.

"You owe me whether you like it or not. I don't know if you heard the rumor, but I have photographic memory. And I picked up a conversation on my way to the Archery targets."

You had to pass our clearing to get to the archery targets. Anyone could have heard us shouting. And I had heard the rumor so I had no doubt that it was true now.

It all depended on how much she had heard.

I evaluated Calli for the first time deciding how much of a threat she was.

The girl was half my height, and had long shining gold hair that reached her waist.

Her eyes were what balanced her colors. They were deep dark blue not a navy shade, but a very dark turquois. They had a glow that matched her hair.

She seemed to be doing the same to me.

After we sized eachother up, I made my decision. She was a very fair threat. A little girl wouldn't know the danger of giving the wrong person the wrong knowledge.

"You should know that I have proof. It was a gift from Daddy."

Why she was allowed to have contact with her father, I did not know. Maybe he favored her.

But what she meant by the gift, I didn't understand. She can pass what she saw to other people by telepathy?

Instead she pulled a slim IPhone out of her pocket and passed it two me.

"I can upload whatever I saw by thoughts. Whatever I want backed up onto here, all I have to do is think about it. And it is monster resistant. With a special song Daddy used, it will repulse every monster in a fifty mile radius so they won't come near."

Crap, this was bad.

I looked at the video content. Sure enough, she must have been following us the whole time to the clearing. She even captured Nico and me being dragged across the ground.

And l saw exactly where she hid, from the view she had gotten of our conversation.

I have really bad posture from the back.

"What do you want?" I growled down at her.

She blinked innocently at me.

"Will you be my slave?"

I choked. "I beg your PARDON!" Geez, this girl was higher educated than I had taken her for.

"It's ok, you don't have to follow me around on your knees. But when I need you to do me a favor, you will do it." The last part wasn't an option, it sounded like a threat.

"Or…"

"Or the whole camp will see that Greeks have infiltrated the camp." She couldn't have picked that up from our conversation!

"How do you know we're Greek?"

"That's for me to know and you to obsess about." She grinned evilly.

"Remember. If anyone finds out, the Romans here like watching the sword cut through your flesh, and your head fall to the ground." She said this while backing up slowly, disappearing into the darkness.

That's when I realized I had been blackmailed twice today.

Reyna's POV

I sat there for a while, staring at the book.

It wouldn't hurt if I...

It could help me win capture the flag if I had new tactics.

The rest of the group wouldn't know if I made a peak in the book just once.

But wait, I don't even need the new tactics! With Jason gone, I have no competition. My original plan will go undefeated anyway.

But that's rule #1 in survival isn't it? Never underestimate your opponent. So it can't hurt?

I opened the book to the table of contents. It looks like there is one more chapter until 'We Play Capture the Flag'. The chapter title makes it pretty clear that I am going to have to read another chapter until they play the game.

So if I skip that chapter I'll get the info I need and won't have to feel guilty about reading ahead, right? Right?

"Reyna, you're not reading ahead are you? You know that no one would be happy with you if you did that!"

Little Calli of the fifth cohort stepped out from behind a bush. She must be half nymph! The little girl could blend into any scenery despite her hair.

Must I say that Calli's hair is equal to the sun and caught attention anywhere she went. The only reason she was allowed inside the mortal world was because the mist made her hair look blonde to those without a drop of godly blood in their veins.

"No Calli, I was just thinking. You can't help but be curious when you first learn about the Greek camp, can you Calli? How long have you known?"

The question took her by surprise. It was a long story, but I knew that she was aware of Camp Halfblood.

"How'd you know that I know?"

"I knew that you knew, but I didn't know, but now I do."

We both started giggling at our confusing dialog.

"What I mean, is that when you found out, I knew you knew something that I didn't, but I wasn't sure what. But once I found out there was a Greek camp, I understood that this is what you found out. Does that make sense?"

"Kinda, I guess."

That was the point where we were both were sizing each other up. I got the feeling she had done this not so long ago.

"I just came to warn you."

I didn't understand what she was saying. Did she mean that she wasn't going to blackmail me into letting her read with the group.

The little girl probably didn't understand the value of the book. On the other hand, I didn't either.

We all were walking into a unfamiliar room blind. All we had to trust was that the gods were there. Leading us or misleading us.

"Why would I need to be warned?"

"Things are not as it seems in your pretty little life." Like she would know! She was just a 8 year old!

Didn't I hear a rumor that she had inherited her father's gift of prophesy?

I was about to respond to her 'warning' when I looked down and noticed she was missing.

Odd little girl.

I reminded myself to never drink Coco's Crazy Caffeinated Coffee after dinner.

I picked up the book and carefully made my way back to my tent.

The whole way I made sure to look around carefully for attackers. Every once in a while a monster got through our borders and snuck its way around camp, surprising innocent campers.

And Calli's appearance wore down my nerves.

I hastily ran into my cabin and slammed the door before crouching behind it.

Did I say Calli's appearance made me nervous? I won't pretend like she's a little angel. That girl is a devious little monster.

I slid my back slowly up the door and flipped stomach first. My eye looked through the hole. The scenery looked normal as always.

My hand silently slid to the lock. With a click twist, I made sure any intruder could hear the audible click.

I twisted it several times in order to make sure it worked. I was safe.

I let out a deep sigh before closing the deep purple curtains in front of the windows. After locking those too, of course.

Did I say that Calli wasn't trustworthy? She made me nervous. She was powerful and she knew it.

I set the book on my desk and examined it carefully.

Was it worth betraying my friend's trust? Eh, they were going to be reading it anyway.

I flipped to the correct chapter and began to read.

It started with… The next few days I settled into a routine that felt almost normal,

About an hour later, ended with…

"Poseidon," said Chiron. "Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses. Hail, Perseus Jackson, Son of the Sea God."

Well, that was more information than I expected.

I can't believe that Neptune—or Poseidon broke the oath.

That means that two gods had broken the oath! And where would I get a son of Neptune for capture the flag?

The was a good strategy if you had a superpowerful son of sea god!

And no wonder he got away from Circe's Island so fast. He could control boats and water! I think… I had never met one.

That's when I got one of those visions. It was like a demigod dream except I wasn't asleep.

I don't know, maybe I was asleep. I'm too tired to tell.

For some reason my demigod dreams are always on Circe's Island. This one was when I was really little. Six years old or so.

I walked in Aunt Circe's parlor where she usually was.

There was a man standing in the middle of the room surrounded by little guina pigs.

He was shouting angry words at Aunt Circe who was sitting leisurely in a red velvet arm chair.

Just as I saw the man shrinking into one of those hamsters on the floor my mother came and pulled into the hall. She told me that we were going to meet Aunt Circe at dinner.

In fact, though I don't remember them, I know that this has been the situation before.

I also remember that for some reason that it was always men or boys who had been turned into gerbils. Whatever those things were.

And whenever we had women guests, they were rushed to the spa.

Could that have been Percy as a rat? Did Annabeth succeed to save him? Was I the evil one for not forgiving them? Were they actually doing the right thing?

I woke up.

So maybe I was sleeping.

Anyway, I had a lot of things to think over.

A/N
