Reyna's POV 📜:

Reyna sat at the Hades table, looking around Camp Half-Blood. Reyna sighed as she saw Nico Di Angelo and Will Solace. She was happy he found someone, unlike her. She was told she wouldn't have love. She was destined to be alone, tears stung her eyes. She mentally scolded herself, she is a warrior(!) she can't cry! Then she saw some ripped and paint splattered jeans approach her. She instantly got rid of the unwanted tears.

 "You must be Reyna.." a girl said, Reyna looked up. The girls eyes were like emeralds, polished and shining. Her hair like fire, curled and wild. Her lips making Reyna stare. Reyna wanted to kiss her right then and their- wait what?! "Y-yes I am.." Reyna replied shyly, what was this girl doing to her. The mysterious girl grabbed her hand, lifting her off the bench of the Hades table she had gotten comfortable in. Her heart fluttered, "follow me." The girl said, pulling Reyna toward the big house. Nico and Will- still in their own little bubble- didn't notice her being lead away. Reyna pulled back, "W-who are you?" She asked, blushing madly. 

Why was she blushing?! She thought as the girl looked confused. "Oh yeah!" She said, her face lighting up. She cleared her throat, "I, am Rachel Elizabeth Dare! Oracle of Camp Half-Blood." She said, shaking Reyna's hand. Reyna gripped it, treasuring the time she had with the girls soft hand, touching hers. Reyna then mentally punched herself, wondering why she was feeling this way for an- almost- stranger. The girl smiled shyly, and lead her to the big house- once again. "Chiron! I've got Reyna!" Rachel called, Reyna noticed her nails were painted colorfully, like a rainbow, and her fingers held several rings. Her t-shirt was also like her pants. The shirt had some paint in it, but Reyna could make out the words 'Save The Earth!' Written on the back. She stared at Rachel as she walked toward another door. Rachel knocked, causing it to open.

 "Yes, oh hello Miss Dare. Thank you." Chiron said, his beard freshly trimmed and he still smelled like coffee. "You may leave now Rachel." Chiron said, eyeing her knowingly. She blushed sheepishly. "S-sorry... bye Reyna!" She said waving at me and leaving. My face was on fire from all this blushing and I smiled stupidly.

 What is she doing?! Reyna shook her head as Chiron looked at her. ''Trouble with love I see?" He said, Reyna's eyes widened, "n-no! Nothing like that sir!" She said, Chiron looked at her- unamused. He sighed, "if you say so." He said, he coughed. "Now let's get down to real business." He said, Reyna looked at him.

 She put on a straight face, trying to forget the emerald eyed beauty she had layers eyes upon minutes before. "Yes, let's get to business. I suppose you are talking about the war last month and how the Romans are binding with the Greeks?" She asked, Chiron nodded. "It seems they are doing quite well, but in not there 24-7 so please, if you may explain, Reyna." Chiron asked her, "its going well, the seven are doing good and Dakota even fell in love with a Greek. There is nothing going on between us other than friendship or training buddies and the camps are perfectly corporative." Reyna replied, she missed Camp Jupiter deeply. But all because of Jason, who said she needed to 'get out more and go to anywhere but here(!)' she was stuck at Camp Half-Blood. She didn't mind the camp it just wasn't her home.

 "I see, well all is well. So you may go." He said, walking into the room he had come out of when Rachel knocked. Reyna walked out of the big house, only to find Rachel waiting for her? Reyna doubted that possibility, she was probably waiting for Chiron. She thought, that was her decision- that was until Rachel walked up to her. 

"Hey Reyna...I was wondering, would you like to get some coffee later? I know a great place and would love if you came!" She replied, her eyes holding a childish spark as she smiled widely. Reyna was surprised at first but slowly nodded- this nod followed by a grin. Reyna- having slapped herself again (mentally) tried to decrease this smile, only to fail. "Great!" Rachel shouted, Reyna laughed, her stomach filling with (what Nico described as) butterflies.

 "What time?" Reyna asked, finding her voice. "Um....how does 11 sound?" Rachel asked, Reyna nodded. "11 it is." Reyna said, as Rachel walked away. Nico, having standing there the whole time Reyna guessed, walked to Reyna. "Someone had a crush!" Nico teased, "do not!" Reyna defended, "yes you do! You have that stupid grin everyone gets!" He said, Reyna frowned. "Do..not!" She said, as Nico rolled his eyes- smirking- and walking away. She sighed- knowing Nico was right. She can't do this, well at least not today, she cant(!) be inlove. Not after Jason, or Percy! She looked at the sky, clear and beautiful, "wish me luck mom."

 She said, walking to the Hades cabin where she had been staying the last 3 days. I immediately opened the door, hurdling myself onto one of the empty beds. The cabin wasn't empty, which Reyna found surprising. Hazel walked through the bathroom door, making both girls (once Reyna got off the bed) scream and fall to the ground.

 "Sorry!" Hazel apol(l)ogized , "its fine." Reyna replied, picking herself off the floor. "Are you okay? You look sad...or is it down? I never really know...." Hazel asked, Reyna sighed, ever since the war ended she and Hazel had become good friends.

 "It's nothing...really." She said, Hazel looked at her, clearly not fooled. "Say it.." Hazel said, looking like a disappointed child on Christmas. "Fine!" Reyna said cracking, "I....like someone..." she said, hazel looked at her. "Okay? So, who is it?" She asked, curiously. Reyna looked at her feet. "Rachel." She whispered, fearing for the worse, she had a hard time accepting Nico being gay. What chance could Reyna have, without her not talking to her for at least a week. "Like, Rachel Elizabeth Dare?" Hazel asked confused. Reyna nodded, "yeah..." she whispered softly. Hazel hesitated, "that's......great?" She said, looking weirded out.

 Well she sounded weirded out, Reyna kept her eyes on the floor the whole time. Seconds felt like years as Reyna waited for Hazel to say anything else. But instead they sat in a awkward silence, Hazel had gotten up a few minutes later- walking out of the cabin. Reyna knew she shouldn't follow her- she needed to cool off.
