*IMPORTANT* later on in the letter Reyna mentions someone named Zoe. She's not an OC...well not really...I just don't really like it when Gwen is her best friend, so I just picked a name which happened to be Zoe. And no, she is not Zoe Nightshade.


Jason awoke to a pounding at his door. He groaned as he dragged himself out of bed to open it, wondering who it could be. It probably wasn't a camper since the harpies would have gobbled them up by now, Mr. D would rather be die than drag his lazy ass over here, and Chiron would have been knocking gently on the door, unlike whoever was on the other side. Just before he got the door, the pounding stopped, and Jason could hear wings fluttering. What the heck? He thought to himself. He swung the door open and could just make out the outline of a person disappearing with winged shoes: Hermes. He looked down and saw that there was a letter addressed to him lying at his feet. He picked it up and walked back in, kicking the door closed in the process. Carefully, Jason opened the envelope and saw that it was from Reyna. He immediately dropped onto his bed and started reading.

Dear Jason,

I know you're with Piper now. You probably don't really think much about your life before Juno took you. Frank's doing surprisingly well as praetor, but he's nothing like you were. You were always easy enough to talk to. Frank seems to feel like I'm still above him so it can be a bit difficult when it comes to making decisions. I guess that's not completely bad; humility is one of the most important characteristics of being a leader of any kind.

Perhaps the only thing or person around here that hasn't changed is Octavian. What am I going to do with him? Even now after the war has been over and we've all made peace, he still continues to hold a grudge and warn against the Greeks. He's a lot harder to keep under control now with you gone. He thinks the reason I let Frank be praetor is because he knows Frank is much easier to convince than a lot of other centurions that could have been potential candidates.

I'll stop there, not going to bore you with a bunch of updates on that stuff. I miss the old times before the war when there was no one but the two of us. People often called us the inseparable team and I actually believed it until Juno took you. Nobody saw it coming, but that doesn't lessen blow any more. Believe it or not, those were the best three years of my life. I know it may not seem like it, but I really do wish you the best with Piper.

To be honest, I wish you'd never looked at me the way you did. Maybe then this wouldn't hurt so much. I never thought that we'd be end up so far apart. Zoe and Hylla both told me it wouldn't end up well, guess they were right. You can't mess with fate and since you love Piper, I guess that's that, there's nothing else I can say.

Sincerely,
Reyna

Reyna's letter stirred so many emotions in him; he had to bite back a frustrated groan. Even though it seemed clear to everyone that he'd chosen to stay with Piper, he was still extremely confused inside. True he had never loved Reyna, but he definitely could not honestly say that she was just a friend. Right now, his feelings for both Piper and Reyna were exactly the same. They were both more than a friend to him, but he wasn't heads over heels in love with either of them. If he was honest with himself though, he actually liked Reyna more than Piper. He'd chosen Camp Half-Blood to keep the peace; it had nothing to do with loving Piper.

After reading the letter, Jason wanted nothing more than to go back to Camp Jupiter to be with Reyna, but he'd made his choice and he regretted it more than anything now.


I'm probably gonna write a sequel/chapter to this but it probably won't be up till at least Saturday so yeah...if you're dying right now, just hang in there:)
