Here we are at the final chapter. Thank you for all of the support. I hope this story has proved to be a good distraction during these crazy times.

Reyna was a little suspicious when she woke up in a bed. Part of her expected to be strapped to the bed with Brizo standing over her, taunting her and talking in circles. Instead, she was alone, other than the loud snoring on her right. Reyna turned her head and stared at Hedge. A sigh of relief left her.

Hedge was asleep and had a bandage wrapped around his chest. His face was pale, but considering his snoring practically shook the room, he was going to be fine. Reyna slowly lifted her head and didn't find anyone else in the room. She laid her head back against the bed.

It took a moment for Reyna to examine herself. Her arm was in a sling, and it felt a lot more immobile than before, which she hoped was a good thing. Reyna looked at her leg, which had a bandage wrapped around it. There was an odd feeling on her lips and she slowly touched a few stitches. Her last spot to check was her ribs, and other than a crack of two, she was fine.

Reyna knew how lucky she was to have avoided more injuries. It seemed like she had been lucky ever since leaving the armory. Lucky that Percy didn't stab her further up her leg. Lucky that Piper found her with the Sirens. Lucky that she managed to free herself from Brizo's spell. Hopefully, she hadn't used up all of her good luck.

There was a spare change of clothes next to the bed, along with Reyna's duffel bag and her sword. Reyna slowly laid her head back against the pillow. She took a few deep breaths. Then, she sat up and slowly swung her legs off of the bed. Before she could finish standing, the door opened.

Reyna looked up and met Nico's eyes. He crossed his arms and stared at her, like he was trying to scold her. Reyna rolled her eyes and spoke, "Help me get up."

"Will already threatened to yell at me if I helped you escape," Nico said. Reyna sighed dramatically but didn't fight. She laid back on the bed. Her eyes closed, but she heard Nico sit next to her. "How are you feeling?"

"Nothing really hurts at the moment," Reyna replied. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Nico. "Was that all a really weird dream?"

"No," Nico said. He sighed tiredly and leaned back in his chair. "They destroyed my cabin, Reyna! All of the cool skulls that I found and torches that I hung up are gone."

"You just kept those to bother Will," Reyna muttered. Nico flicked her arm. Reyna grinned. "Is Hedge doing okay? He's going to make a full recovery, right?"

"He'll be fine. We were lucky enough that Will's healing magic worked a little deeper than it normally does," Nico answered. Reyna sighed in relief. She didn't know what she would do without the Faun to bother her and tell her about all kinds of annoying things.

"Is Clarisse still mad at me?" Reyna asked. She remembered the look in Clarisse's eyes when she had told Reyna that it would be her fault if Hedge died. The words were true, and it was a responsibility that she had been willing to carry.

"Clarisse was upset that you destroyed her eardrums, but the Apollo kids have her ears mostly healed. She'll be fine," Nico answered. "Personally, I thought it was pretty funny."

Reyna grinned and glanced at her watch. It was Sunday now: the last day of her vacation. What a terrible vacation it was but not for the reasons that Reyna thought it would be. She fully expected to hate being trapped at Camp Half-Blood for so long, but the first few days had been enjoyable. It just all went downhill when the crazy goddess tried to murder her and all of Greeks.

"What about Rachel? She had a pretty bad gash on her arm," Reyna said. Her eyes studied the ceiling. Laying in this bed was going to get very old very quickly, and she was starving. She couldn't remember the last time she had food.

"I know Dionysus tended to her arm while he was fighting the crazy goddess. Brioche?" Nico asked. A pained laugh escaped Reyna. Nico flicked her arm again. Reyna smiled at him. She figured that Bacchus tending to Rachel was probably how Brizo was able to appear near Reyna and almost kill Hedge.

"Dionysus subdued the crazy goddess, and we all organized to find the last Siren. A couple of the Dryads and Nymphs were all beating her with sticks and yelling something about threats. We brought her back here and carved her heart out. Clarisse was more than happy to do that," Nico continued. "After that, we took care of our injured, talked about what happened, and have been trying to put the camp back together."

"You guys really destroyed it," Reyna commented. She sighed once again and closed her eyes. "Did Bacchus take Brizo away?"

"He did," Nico confirmed. "Chiron is going to take the box to Hecate and see if she can free the Sirens from whatever magic keeps them trapped to the hearts. How did you even know how to destroy them?"

"Brizo told me about how her Sirens were created, and Chiron told me that her blood created and destroyed. It just clicked," Reyna answered. She looked down at her hands. It looked like someone had tried to clean the blood from her hands, but she could still see traces of it. Just the thought of it made Reyna's gut twist. "I didn't want to do that, but I did what I had to do."

"No one judges you," Nico promised. Reyna nodded, and they both heard a knock on the door. Nico looked at Reyna, and she nodded. "Come in. She's awake."

Percy and Annabeth stepped into the room. Annabeth was holding onto a plate of food, which instantly made her Reyna's best friend. Percy was holding onto a mug of hot chocolate, which put him in front of Nico on her friends list. Annabeth spoke, "Hey, Reyna. Glad to see you're awake."

"I'm glad to see you two aren't trying to worship a water goddess anymore. Honestly Percy, you're father would be upset," Reyna teased. Percy grinned and handed her the mug of hot chocolate. Reyna, with the unwanted help of Nico, made it into a sitting position.

Percy and Annabeth sat by her, and Annabeth placed the plate of food on the bedside table. Reyna slowly grabbed it and spoke, "Are there any after effects? Are you guys doing okay?"

"We're fine," Annabeth promised. "Just worried about you."

"I'm fine, other than being thrown out of the Big House," Reyna said with a half shrug. Percy and Annabeth both stared at her in shock. "I'll have to apologize Chiron for breaking his window. Speaking of Chiron, is he awake?"

"A child of Morpheus woke him. We think he's okay, but he looked like he had a pretty bad nightmare," Percy answered. Reyna looked down. She remembered the dream that Chiron had been stuck in, and it still bothered her. Having to relive a moment like that over and over again was scarring, but Chiron was immortal. He would have many more of those moments.

Reyna focused on eating her food. The other three demigods talked among themselves and left her alone long enough for her to finish eating. When she was done, she cradled the mug of hot chocolate like the gods themselves had given it to her.

"They're planning a feast tonight," Annabeth said. She seemed to be examining Reyna. "It's to celebrate the people who helped saved us and to also get a good meal before we spend the entire night rebuilding our camp. Will said we can let you out of the bed for that long, if you think you can make it."

"I'll be there, just please don't force me to sing at a campfire," Reyna said. Percy and Annabeth grinned at her. Reyna looked down. Things had worked out, but there was still one thing she needed to do. "I know that I'm not suppose to be out of bed until the feast, but I really need to send a message to Frank."

"We can let Frank know for you," Percy said. Reyna shook her head.

"I need to talk to him about something personal," Reyna began. Percy and Annabeth exchanged looks, but they both stood. Nico squeezed Reyna's hand gently. "I promise to also lay back in bed, after I shower."

"I guess that's fair," Percy said. He grinned at Reyna. "We'll be back in a hour to make sure you're actually in bed and not trying to sneak out."

"Get out," Reyna said. Percy grinned and left. Annabeth made it to the door, but she stopped and turned back towards Reyna.

"If you need help with your shower," Annabeth began. Reyna nodded slightly. As if to spare her from any embarrassment, Annabeth looked at Nico. "Don't let her wander anywhere else, or I will get Will to come after you."

Nico held his hands up. Annabeth watched him for a few moments. She finally nodded to Reyna and walked away. Reyna spoke, "You better listen, Nico. We don't want to have Will come storming in here."

"Shut up," Nico muttered, but he couldn't hide the grin on his face. He helped Reyna stand. As they started to walk away, Reyna glanced back at Hedge. The Faun had given her an approving nod, but did she actually believe that he approved of her letting him die? No.

"Did he wake at all?" Reyna asked quietly. Nico shook his head. "I guess he hates me for choosing the box over him."

"I'm sure he knows that you didn't mean it. That was all just a part of your plan," Nico said. Reyna slowly looked at him. He smiled slightly, but his eyes told the truth. He knew that Reyna completely stood by her decision, but no one else had to know that.

"Thank you," Reyna said. Nico nodded and started to help her walk. When they made it to the door, he pulled away but stayed close enough to help her. Reyna hobbled towards the room that held a fountain in it, but she didn't take up Nico's offer for help.

As they made it into the room, Reyna slowly sat on the table. She winced, but if Nico was going to lecture her, he seemed to think better of it. Nico grabbed a coin and threw it towards the fountain. Then, he tapped Reyna's arm and left the room.

"Oh Arcus, sorry Iris, goddess of rainbows, show me Frank Zhang at Camp Jupiter," Reyna said. She watched the mist form to show Frank. He was sitting at his desk and had half of a jelly bean sticking out of his mouth. He looked rather confused and seemed to be staring down at a paper. "Hey Frank."

Frank quickly closed his mouth and looked up. The confusion on his face quickly turned to concern. Frank spoke, "Reyna? What happened?"

"It's a long story," Reyna admitted. She studied Frank. He looked more stressed out than normal, and Reyna just knew that he was eating her spare bag of jelly beans. She would forgive him, this time. "First, I want to apologize to you."

"I should apologize," Frank began. He looked down. Reyna bit back a sigh and played with her sling. That was going to get annoying pretty soon as well. Frank opened his mouth to say more.

"No," Reyna interrupted. She met Frank's eyes. "Everything that you said is correct. I shouldn't have treated you like I did. I shouldn't have talked bad about you to my dogs. Frank, I would never talk about you like that to a fellow Roman. That I swear upon my honor."

"I promise to teach you to be the best praetor that you can be," Reyna continued. She looked down. "I am so sorry that I said those things to you, and I wish I could take it all back. The only thing I can do is try to make it up to you."

"I don't think I've heard you apologize before," Frank said. Reyna glanced up at him and saw that he had a small smile on his face. "I talked to Hazel about it after you left. She told me to see it from your point of view. I understand how it is frustrating for someone to seemingly stumble into a job, and you have to pick up their slack."

"Piper told me to see it from your point of view. You had the job thrust upon you and was doing the best that you could," Reyna said. "Think they exchanged notes?"

Frank nodded. Reyna looked down again and spoke, "You really don't have to apologize for what you said. I needed to hear it. Please just accept my apology."

"I accept it," Frank said. Reyna nodded and felt herself relax. She would just have to be patient and calm with Frank, but she could manage that. Reyna looked at Frank. The two of them would figure it out together, but that would be for another day. Concern came to Frank's face. "Did sparring go wrong? Or was it their War Games?"

"It's a long story. You might want to sit back and relax," Reyna said. Frank nodded, and he leaned back in his seat. Reyna told Frank the story of how she woke to a possessed Camp Half-Blood and how she fought to try and save them.

Frank remained silent throughout the entire story, but the look of concern in his eyes became clearer and clearer as she spoke. Reyna almost wanted to smile. Even if she had almost died, he didn't have to be concerned about her. When Reyna finished her story, Frank nodded.

"We should tell the Senate, so they don't think that the Greeks decided to play pinata with me," Reyna said. She sighed. "The Senate won't count this last week as a vacation, will they?"

"They won't," Frank said. He looked guilty and rubbed his face. "This is all my fault."

"Oh no. It's the fault of the forgetful goddess," Reyna said. She shifted and winced in pain. "Why would you blame yourself?"

"If I didn't suggest this vacation, you wouldn't have gone to Camp Half-Blood. None of this would have happened," Frank said. Reyna almost forgot that the whole vacation was Frank's idea. They would definitely be discussing that later.

"Oh, it would have happened, but I wouldn't have been here to save the Greeks," Reyna said. She smiled slightly. "The goddess would have come to Camp Half-Blood either way, and she probably would have taken this entire place over without me there to stop her."

"I can suggest to the Senate that we have you take another week long vacation back at Camp Jupiter," Frank said. Reyna studied him for a few moments and looked down. She really didn't want to be forced to take another vacation, but there was clearly no choice. What if it was a good thing though?

"I won't fight taking another week off, but I don't want to be forced to stay somewhere," Reyna began. Frank nodded. Reyna played with her sling. "Do you think I could stay at Camp Half-Blood for most of the week. Then, I want to pay a visit to my sister."

"Of course," Frank said. He seemed surprised that she wasn't threatening to murder him for suggesting it. After all that had happened that week, Reyna realized she really did need a vacation. Murdering a few Sirens was a great way to start it, but it would also be nice to actually spend time with her friends and maybe her sister.

"How did the evaluation go?" Reyna asked. Frank looked down and frowned. He finally shrugged. "Was everything fine until Lupa came? Then, everything that you did caused her to either growl lowly or curl her lip. It seems like even breathing annoys her."

"That's exactly what happened," Frank said. A smile came to Reyna's face. She could see how concerned Frank was about his evaluation, and it was almost funny. "I failed, didn't I?"

"Not at all," Reyna answered. A small laugh escaped her. "Lupa did the same thing to me. You only have to be worried if she is completely silent. The more annoyed that she seems at your presence means you're doing a good job."

"That's good. I think," Frank said. He closed his eyes. "I also ate your emergency jellybeans. I'm sorry."

"There's more taped underneath my desk. You can have those if you need to stress eat," Reyna said. A smile came to Frank's face. "I'm sure you did fine. Now, I should probably go take a shower and relax before dinner."

"Get some rest," Frank said. A smile came to Reyna's face, and Frank smiled as well. He ran his hand through the Iris message ending it. Reyna laid back on the table and sighed painfully.

The week obviously hadn't gone how she wanted it to, but she was glad it happened the way it did, other than the whole being injured and almost dying part. It showed that Camp Half-Blood was like another home to Reyna, and it reminded her of how much she loved Camp Jupiter as well. She also learned that she really did need some sort of vacation

Reyna would have the rest of the week to relax and be with her friends. With a little bit of luck, she would be cleared to compete in capture the flag. If not, she could hopefully have a front row seat to the destruction. Reyna closed her eyes.

"Hey Reyna," Piper said. Reyna opened one eye and looked at her. The daughter of Venus grinned at her. "How are you feeling?"

"I've been better," Reyna answered. "I may have made a mistake laying down."

Piper helped her sit back up. She spoke, "I'll help you walk. Then, I can show your face off to everyone. No one believes me when I told them that I beat up you and Percy with a makeup case. Isn't that the second time this week a daughter of Aphrodite has beaten you in combat?

"Shut up McLean," Reyna muttered. Piper laughed and helped her stand. "I should get my change of clothes before going to the showers. I think I can walk on my own though."

"I'll be within earshot," Piper said. Reyna nodded and started to walk back to the infirmary. She kept her eyes focused on the ground. Her walk was more of a limp, but most of the pain in her leg was dulled. She was grateful for that, considering everyone would worry for her more if she was visibly hurting.

Reyna stepped into the infirmary and walked towards her change of clothes. She picked them up and heard a noise. Reyna turned her head and looked at Hedge. The Faun was awake and looking around. He looked at Reyna, and a grin came to his face. Hedge spoke, "You running out already, Roman?"

"Just a shower," Reyna said softly. She studied Hedge. The grin on his face was a pained one, but he looked happy. He didn't seem to be upset at her. "How are you feeling?"

"Pretty good," Hedge answered. He tried to sit up and paled. "No. Not good. I think I'm going to lay here."

"You should just lay there and try to relax. I can ask Piper to get you some food," Reyna offered. It was hard to meet Hedge's eyes, and guilt was starting to fill her chest. She took a second to ignore it. Reyna had gotten good at that.

"Something bloody and rare. Make Grover bring it. His reactions are the best," Hedge said. He grinned. Reyna smiled slightly but turned around. She walked towards the door. "I don't blame you, Roman. It was the right choice."

"I am sorry," Reyna said. She turned back towards Hedge. The Faun just shrugged. Hedge didn't seem like he cared, and Reyna realized that he didn't. Hedge would have loved to go out protecting all of the campers. "I'll have someone make you a steak, but we'll cover it to make sure that Grover doesn't know what he's presenting."

"Come see me before you leave as well," Hedge said. Reyna smiled slightly. "I have to say goodbye to my favorite Roman."

"I'll be here for another week, if you guys will have me," Reyna said. Hedge's grin told her he would be more than happy to. Reyna turned and left the infirmary. It was hard to get rid of the small smile on her face. She was actually looking forward to the rest of her vacation, hanging out with her second family.

Reyna stopped walking and looked around Camp Half-Blood. Sure, it was a destroyed mess, but it was also beautiful. It wasn't as beautiful as Camp Jupiter, but who could compete with the Romans? Reyna closed her eyes and relaxed. She would take a shower, enjoy the feast, and then enjoy the rest of the week, hopefully without another crazy immortal trying to murder everyone.
