-Reyna-

Reyna wasn't sure what to feel. How could the Greeks just come into her camp like that and destroy it?

And they took Jason.

Reyna knew about the whole seven half bloods thing, she knew that the Greeks had already picked their seven half bloods. She knew Jason was part of it, and she wasn't.

But seriously? Kidnapping Jason with a dragon? Once again, Reyna hadn't been able to say goodbye, she'd just been left behind to pick up the pieces.

A lot of Camp Jupiter was in ruins. Many of the Romans stood around, forming battle plans on how to best destroy all the Greeks.

Octavian was furious. He stormed right up to Reyna and poked a long finger at her. "You! You were the one who let them inside! Jason Grace has turned away from the Roman ways. We must fight back and get rid of the Greeks once and for all!" His voice carried through the forum. Romans gathered around him, their eyes glinting with revenge.

Reyna was getting really annoyed at Octavian. "How dare you disrespect your praetor! Jason Grace was taken away from us, he had no choice in the matter."

Octavian sneered. "Even you are siding with the Greeks now. I would have thought you were better than that, Reyna."

Reyna would have done something very unpleasant to Octavian, only the angry Romans behind him were making her worried.

"We have to take down the graecus scum." Octavian ordered, as if he was the praetor instead of Reyna.

Wild cheers erupted from behind Octavian. He crossed his arms and smirked at Reyna. "What are your orders, praetor?"

Reyna was stumped. She couldn't exactly order the Argo II to be shot down, Jason was on that ship. She didn't want to hurt the Greeks, despite what they did to her camp.

"We will send out the eagles. They can follow the Argo II and watch their every movement. Should they try something else against us, we will strike." Reyna commanded.

Octavian didn't look happy but Reyna gave him a hard stare to convey that she was the one in charge around here before she walked away.

Maybe her plan was a good one after all. She would be able to see if the Greeks tried to hurt Jason. 

And if they did, they would have to answer to her.
