JASON.
The day it all started something was off. I woke up next to Piper in my cabin and I watched her as she peacefully slept. I didn't know what it was but something wasn't the same between us anymore, since the war ended I had been drifting away from her, I guess she somehow reminded me of the friend I lost that day, or maybe it was something else. I hadn't really talked about it with anyone because, basically, I didn't have anyone to talk about it with. It wasn't that I didn't trust Percy or Frank, it was just that the only person I felt like talking to was most likely dead, or so I thought.
After a few minutes of lying in bed I decided to get out and find Percy. I got dressed as quietly as I could and I headed out. Half-blood camp was practically empty and disturbingly quiet at this time in the morning. I went to Percy's cabin and knocked on the door, the only answer I got was a snore so I decided to go for a walk instead. I sat down in the lake and I started to think what everything would be like if Leo was around there. Everything would be nosier and messier and god, I missed that so much. I felt tears running down my face and a hand patted my shoulder, for a second I thought it was him, and then I thought it was my father, both of those ideas were ridiculous so I wasn't that surprised when I turned around to see no other than Nico DiAngelo, and boy I love that kid but that was not the moment of having a chat, or a fight, with him, I just felt like flying and going away. 'Hey man, what's up?' He asked sounding...friendly?, that was odd, Nico wasn't the kind of person that you would describe as friendly or nice for that matter, but since he had gotten over Percy and started something with Will Solace he seemed less darker and more like the 15 year old boy he was. 'Nothing really, I was just, you know, thinking about Leo, what he might be up to right know'. It was the truth, not the full truth but it was at least something. 'I know I don't have proof or anything but he's not dead, when I think about him I don't get the chill I normally get when I think about dead people and trust me, I know about this kind of stuff.' He said with a grin in his face. Being a son of Hades Nico could just go down to the Underworld and check if Leo was in fact there or not, but even though almost 8 months had passed since the defeat of Gaia he was still recovering from all the shadow travel he did back then, and even trying it might ended up killing him. I nodded and got up to leave, 'Thanks man'. I said, and I started to walk back to my cabin hopping Piper would've already left by then. I didn't want to but maybe it was the time to break up.
When I passed the Big House I heard chiron passing and a girl screaming at him, my first instinct was to walk away, if there was something I had learnt at Camp Jupiter was that being nosy never led you to a good place, but still curiosity won me over and I decided to take a look. When I approached the window the first thing I noticed was a red headed girl frowning, when I looked closely I realized it was just Rachel, our oracle, the next thing I saw was a blonde girl sitting in a chair, she was the one screaming and her face was red, which gave away the fact that she had been crying. I was so interested in hearing their conversation that I didn't notice the stupid hole in the ground until I fell inside it. Suddenly everything went quiet, shit!, I tried to run away or hide but as I was standing up, the three of them bursted out of the house, which caused me to fall back again.
'JASON GRACE WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?' Double shit! chiron was pissed, no, he was furious, and I didn't even have an excuse.
'Mmmm... I was... sleep walking?' Did I really just say that? For the love of Zeus, I sounded like a total retard, and the blonde chick just kept staring at me, like if she was somehow amused but my stupidity.
'Is everyone around here a moroon or something? Gosh, stop wasting my time.' Whoa, had she just called me a moroon? Her green eyes were laid on me and I couldn't shake the feeling that she was evaluating my every move. It was at that moment that I realized that still lying on the ground so I got up and put a serious frown on. 'So, what's going on here?' I asked trying to sound as casual as I could. 'Jason I think is better if you just leave and forget everything you heard and this event ever happened.' Rachel said with something in her tone that made it sound like a beg.
'Yeah, make him run away from the bastard! How brave of you, I'm sure you just made your gods so proud...'The blonde girl said with obvious disgust in her voice. I didn't quite know if I liked this girl or not, but something about her seemed to catch my attention, what was wrong with me? Even if I was thinking about breaking up with Piper she was still my girlfriend, a pretty great one as well, so I shouldn't be thinking about a stranger in that way, I just wanted so badly to just kiss her right then and there... although there had to be something wrong about her because chiron hated her, it was so obvious it almost hurt.
'Girl, just shout up' he said, sounding tired, at the same time he grabbed her arm so strongly that she fell in the ground. 'Seriously what's going on here?' I asked again stepping forward this time, something was terribly wrong and I felt incredibly stupid for not being able to figure out what it was. 'You are not going to leave until we tell you, are you?' He asked, looking at me sadly. 'Not a chance' I replied. 'Well, get in then, but you have to swear on the Styx that you won't tell anybody about what we are about to tell you in here.' 'I swear.' I said as I walked inside the house right behind them.
We entered the hall and walked past it, it was a wreck, there were broken chairs everywhere and I could've sworn that there was also blood on the floor, which didn't make sense because I hadn't noticed any wound on any of the people present. When we reached the small room at the end of the corridor, which was a bit tidier than the hall, we sat down around the small table in the center.
'Okay, let's start with the presentations, Jason this' chiron said sending a death glare to the girl 'Sarah Johnson, a new demigod. Sarah this is Jason Grace, son of Jupiter or Zeus, as we know him in the Greek world.' He seemed pretty satisfied with what he had said, but I wasn't the fact that he hadn't told me who her parental god or goddess was bodered me, and I was pretty sure she had been clame. And she seemed annoyed too. 'chiron, darling, you forgot to tell him who my mum was, and I'm pretty sure that's a pretty important thing for this matter, but don't worry I'll tell him myself.' She turned to face me and a diabolic smile appeared in her face, gods, so sexy. 'My mother is Artemis or Diana, whatever, I'm the bastard she never should've had and her biggest dishonor.' I must've misheard it, surely, Artemis HATED man, she couldn't have a daughter, right?
