Daughter Of Chaos (Chaos Army)

Chapter 15

Magma's P.O.V.

After the round of questioning is over I race out to the kitchen have a quick breakfast, get dressed In some black cargo pants and purple tank top. Trying to show I'm on the Romans side. After that I sprint down the dirt path finally reaching the place where Octavian holds his interviews as I prefer to call them. I walk into find him smiling at me. I return it with ease. "Please tell me we have no interviews today. Worst sleep I've ever had. Paranoia is kicking in, with all the monsters about." He grins.
"How did you know? No we don't have interviews today. I thought we could head over to Manhattan and have a day to ourselves. Be normal teenagers for once. Just you and me. Get to know each other better, considering we will be working together a lot in the next few days." A day to be normal teenagers. NORMAL. Something that I had been dreaming of for years. Back on earth enjoying a sundae, watching a movie, chilling on the beach. Things that regular mortals do. I do something I haven't done in years. I laughed a proper laugh that I meant. "I would love that, but first I'll need to get my partner to come keep charge of stuff here. I'm sure you've got someone to replace you?" He nods. Cool, I'll just call him over.
"Jonathan? Can you come and hold the fort while me and Octavian go recruiting in Manhattan? Someone else will be here as well, try get on their good side." A groan came over the link, then a short reply of yes boss. I laugh and walk back over to Octavian. "All good, he'll be here in five. I think it's safe to leave now. Before he finds out it's not a recruitment mission." Octavian gives a small laugh and leads me towards an eagle. I panic a bit, thinking Zeus might blast me out of the sky, but then again, he isn't himself right now.

We jump on the birds back and ride off into the sunrise. We'll kinda. Finally after about twenty minutes we arrive at a small paddock at the very edge of the city. After about three bus rides later we're sitting in front of an ice cream parlour, me eating a fejoa sorbet, and Octavian a dark chocolate gelato. The way he eats, it's amazing how skinny he is. After that we head to the movies and watch The Maze Runner. It was an amazing movie. Finally after about an hour more of wandering, we decide to get back to the Romans. After such a great day I'm sad to leave. Being with Octavian today has been great. He showed me how to be a teenager again, not some uptight leader, with a death warrant.

As we get back I give Octavian a small hug. "I really enjoyed today. Thanks so much." He returns my smile and replies. "It was my pleasure." Laughing, I jog home, after being informed Jonathan had headed home for the day. When I arrive I see the worst thing I would ever see. Jonathan was kissing Jewel. My heart completely shattered. A sob escaped my mouth, causing them to pull apart. Before Jonathan can mutter a word a portal appears under their feet, sending them to CHB. The look on his face reveals all. He's not sorry.

Tears streak down my face as I race out of the tent and towards no where. I hear people trying to talk to me through the telepathic link, but I block them out. I don't want to hear what they have to say. I am finally pulled back to reality by running straight into someone. I look up from the ground, to find Octavian looking at me with concerned eyes. He just comes and sits beside me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. We sit there for what feels like hours before he finally speaks.
"I'll kill them. Someone has hurt you. Who ever it is, I will kill them. An amazing girl like you does not deserve to be hurt like this. Not for the world." He looks at me with caring eyes, no, loving eyes. I know in that instant why that dream felt so painful. He loves me, and honestly? I think I might love him back.

After talking with Octavian for a bit, about what happened, he had a small fit, then took me back to my tent and helped me cook dinner. Around eight, he finally left, ordering me to get some sleep. But first I had to sort out some people to replace Jono and Jewel. I chose Michael and Dawn. As dawn was a great friend, I knew she would not push me, and Michael probably won't want to leave her side. Obviously someone finally confessed their feelings for each other. I finally let the mental barriers in my brain to collapse, revealing all the words conveyed by my troops. A lot of sorries for me and some yelling towards the other two. I take a breath and announce my choice to the others.

"As you all know, Jewel and Jonathan are no longer here at the Romans camp. I have chosen Michael and Dawn to come and take their place here. A portal will be opening at nine tomorrow morning beside the hearth. Be ready. Now please excuse me, I'm tired and need some sleep." I cut the connection and crash into bed, falling into a dreamless sleep.

A.N.
I have a cute cousin.... (I visited her the day I wrote this, which was Sunday of labour weekend.)
Anyway... As my friends might know, Jonathan was based off one of my friends, and he kinda annoys me a lot lately. So I no longer want my character to be dating him. Plus Octavian is a WAY better person. (Mainly cause he's a book character)
Anyways, VOTE, COMMENT AND ENJOY!
