A lot of thought went into this chapter. Cause I had no clue which story line to do, Oceana or Eon. I decided, at last. Mainly because I know how much you'll hate me after reading the first word, Kaplan. She loves Eon chapters!

Oceana tapped her foot nervously as she waiting for the plane to finish the taxi into the airport. Everyone in her typical group - Cassandra, Noah, Chase, and Kyle - seemed jumpy, as though if someone so much as sneezed, they'd scream in fear.

"Wha-what do you think we should do?" Noah asked, now wide awake. He must have been seriously scared. He's never this awake for anything. His hand was even shaking, like he'd drank four gallons of coffee, and couldn't wait for the last bathroom stall to open up.

"Split up, I guess. From the group. Act like we're a group of tourists, or students, anything so we don't look suspicious. Cassandra and Noah look old enough to be in charge of the rest of us. Just follow them, and chat about normal stuff, like how stupid that guy buying a taco looks. Anything."

"A guy buying a taco?" Kyle asked, looking at me skeptically. He was two years her senior, so he could easily blame her acting like the way she does on her age.

"Yeah, just act casual."

The plane docked, and the seatbelt sign went off. Everyone stood up at once, trying to get their luggage out from the overhead or under their chairs. They followed likewise, and filled out into the aisle to leave the plane.

We left the plane, and started heading in a different direction than the group. Cassandra and Noah were holding hands, chatting as though they were a couple on vacation. It was obviously hard for all of them not to laugh at Noah's fail at flirting.

"Oceana!" a little girl yelled at her, making Oceana wince. They would of gotten away with it, if she hadn't drawn attention.

"Annika... sweetie, we're just going to the bathroom. Long flight, you know," Oceana made up on the spot. She felt horrible lying to her.

"Can I go with you?" the little four year-old asked, suddenly jumping up and down. Our of excitement, or because of her bladder, it was hard to tell.

Annika Fariweather was the youngest member of the camp. Her mother had died when she was an infant, so Poseidon, her father, took her to camp to be raised. Oceana had been there for a few months when she arrived, and instantly fell in love with the baby girl the second she laid eyes on her, back when she stayed in the Big House. Now, she stayed with her siblings, especially since she can handle being surrounded by stuff that would give most children nightmares.

"Sure?" Kyle half asked, scratching the back of his neck.

The strawberry blond mess of her braid bounced it's way to the nearest bathroom, before dancing in front of it's doors in waiting for her elders.

"Who are they?" Annika asked, pointing towards the large group of men and women in purple shirts. The group made sure everyone had a jacket or hoodie to put over their colored CHB shirts.

The night sky looked beautiful, stars shining brightly, a quarter moon off in the distance. Oceana's watch read that it was closer to midnight, which surprised her that little Annika could be awake at this time, even with ADHD and about thirty cokes from the flight.

"Romans..." Chase answered, looking hurt from their appearance at the airport. And the weapons, noticeable only through the Mist.

"Seems the son of luck isn't having that much of it..." Noah joked, earning a glare from Chase.

"But Romans are good, right?" Annika asked, looking up at Chase with her captivating deep brown eyes. The slightest flecks of gold in them made it appear like it was a precious metal on multiple occasions.
