"Jason..." Reyna gasped, falling.
"Reyna!" Jason screamed, running over to her. A bloody dagger was stuck in her armour, right below the heart.
He knelt at her side, holding her as she quielty died. "No! Please you can't. I need you."
"I'm not afraid. Jason, I'm sorry." Reyna said, in pain though her voice remained firm as always. "I'll always rememer..."
Reyna breathed for the last time. Her sharp black eyes softened. Jason gasped for his own breath, choking back on tears.
"I'll always remember you too." He whispered. He reached over and closed her eyes.
"Jason! We're still under attack!" Screamed someone from the 2th cohort.
"I'll never leave her!" Jason yelled.
Nearby someone from Camp Half-Blood fell. Jason saw Piper out of the corner of his eye, running toward him.
"She's gone." Jason said, tears now flowing freely.
Piper understood. She had known for a while about Jason and Reyna. And she knew what Jason needed. She turned Jason around and hugged him firmly as he cried. Tears formed in Piper's eyes too. But she held her head high. When they finally pulled away, Piper softly kissed his cheek. A flicker of hope started in Piper's heart. Jason, could be her's. But it wasn't the right time. She needed to be strong, for Jason. Then leaving Jason, she ran back into battling. swimming her dagger in a deadly arch, screaming, "FOR REYNA!"
