Twenty
Okay, about last chapter. Something glitched and it deleted like half the chapter and I kind of forgot what I wrote...So since I was too lazy to redo it and republish the last chapter, here's a continuation that I just made up since I don't remember what I had. Heh.
Different Colors?
"Someone out of all of us here is a spy." Percy piped up, sadness and tiredness laced in his voice.
"Who would it be, though? None of us would betray the gods." Piper asked.
"Well, it's one of us. No one knew about us raising Gaea and someone has to be that crazy mad to let Void kill Jason." Leo said, looking like he wanted to kill someone, which he probably wanted to.
"All we can do is wait it out. There's nothing we can do." Jyoti sighed. "What do you mean there's nothing we can do? This spy is dangerous and might lead us to losing this war!" Logan exclaimed.
"What is there to do? Do you think the spy will just tell us who they are?" I questioned, a bit irritated.
Logan sighed and flopped down in his chair. "Like I said before: Just look out and be careful." Percy said.
We nodded and discussed ways to find the spy, since that was our biggest concern at the moment. But when I looked at everyone else, what surprised me the most was that Annabeth looked saddened, more than she should have, probably about Jason's death.
She almost looked, guilty.

At the end of the meeting, we had no solution. Like, we were at a complete blank. Nope, nada, absolutely nothing. We concluded that the best we can do is observe the others.
Noah and I walked hand in hand to the dining hall to eat. You could tell that we were both tired as hell and that everyone was so confused. I think Percy and Piper had it the worst.
Percy and Annabeth were growing distant, despite the fact that they were soulmates. Piper was going through the heartbreak of losing her soulmate, which is painful beyond repair.
As for the rest of us, we were stuck in a loop of keeping secrets, which was tearing us all apart. I noticed Jyoti was walking with Ember and not Logan, which would make sense since they've been fighting so much. All of us are going distant and things are going downwards.
We haven't been able to talk with the seven as much, since they've been keeping to themselves. Callen hasn't been around much since he has to make weapons for all the campers. Noah and I have a couple dates every now and then and Daniel is constantly complaining to me about not being able to see Callen.
Jyoti and Ember are hanging around each other more and all three of us are getting closer. We made it to the dining hall and ate quickly, not wanting to stay for long. The campers were looking at Luke guys with both curiosity and awestruck expressions.
Once dinner was done, we left, not wanting to talk with anyone. It hurt all of us that Jason died and things were going downwards. The mentors went their separate ways and Daniel went to see Callen in Bunker Nine. The rest of us went to Cabin 3, since Percy was going to be with Annabeth for the night.
"What are we gonna do?" I sobbed. "Jason shouldn't have died! Who the fuck is this damn spy so I can kill them!" I shouted, falling to my knees. Noah hugged me from behind and Jyoti kneeled in front of me next to Ember. Logan patted my shoulder, reassuring me that everything was going to be alright.
We stayed like that for a while until I sighed and stood up. I noticed everyone had tears falling down their faces. I also realized that I can control feelings. So since I was sad, my aura made everyone else more sad than they would be. We group hugged and I went into Noah's warm embrace.
I really hope he's my soulmate. Piper and Daniel don't have the power yet and Silena's been either too busy or doesn't want to tell me what color my aura is. I snapped my fingers and crossed my fingers.
But I guess luck wasn't on my side because I still couldn't see my aura. I huffed but smiled when I saw the color of Ember's aura. It was an orange hue, the same one I saw reflecting off of Leo. But what confused me the most was that Noah and Logan both had similar auras, of white or silver, I couldn't tell.
Maybe one was darker than the other? Maybe one was silver or something? The light was blinding me a bit and I honestly didn't want to face the truth. I snapped my fingers again, not wanting to deal with this. We all talked for a while and I drifted off to sleep.
