The Rise and Fall of Jason Grace

Chapter One

It was a nice day at Camp Half-Blood. That was the only way to describe it. Nice. The birds were nice, the sky was a nice shade of blue and even the

Stoll brothers, under the influence of Drew's charmspeak, were nicely emptying their wallets and handing over their monthly allowance to her, and her alone.

Jason Grace was sitting by himself under Thalia's tree. He was leaning against the rough bark, feeling at peace. He missed his sister a lot. He had briefly considered having a gender change just so he could join her, but part of him knew Artemis would realise he was in fact a boy. Besides, he was way too muscular and handsome to be a girl. Not to be cocky or anything.

He was gazing at the nice Big House when he heard footsteps behind him. Jason Grace leapt up, Roman-style, and, roaring indistinctively, he shoved his hand into his pocket, prepared to bring out his weapon.

"Cool it, Jace!"

It was Piper. Jason exited Roman Warrior form and relaxed, turning around.

Piper was wearing an orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt, jeans and a green cardigan. Her sneakers were tatty and muddy. Jason's heart started doing a Zumba workout in the confines of his ribcage - she was just so beautiful.

"Hey, Piper," he said, his voice cracking just a bit. Nothing noticable, he hoped."You OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied, leaning against the tree and giving him a small smile. "You seem a bit tense, though."

"Oh," his voice cracked quite a lot now. Piper tried to hide her sniggers but he noticed it, and his heart stopped doing its Zumba workout and began a painful Wii Fit exercise. "Why are you laughing at me?" he croaked.

"Jason...do you have a sore throat or something?" Piper giggled.

"No! I was born this way!" Jason shouted, although it came out as more of a girly scream.

Piper broke down in laughter. Lady Gaga had lied to him. That was it. Jason bought out his gold coin and flipped it.

Nothing happened.

He flipped it again, yelling, 'Come on!", but it was no use. It remained a coin. Jason squinted at the metal in his hand. Wait a minute...

This wasn't gold! It was a British 2 pence coin! What the Hades? How had that gotten there? Jason remembered he had destroyed his magic gold coin

in a sexy and fierce duel against an ugly monster. Giant or something like that. Anyway, the point was, he was weaponless! And Piper was insulting his man pride! What to do, what to do...

Jason roared like a wounded beast, and grabbed the cackling Piper's head and smashed it against Thalia's tree. She collapsed to the ground, blood trickling from her temple.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET!" he shrieked. "That's what happens when you mess with this Grace!"

Jason strolled away back to his cabin, before remembering he had left Piper's lifeless form at the top of the hill. He ran back to the crime scene and regarded Piper coldly.

"I regret it," he said, unaware he was quoting Lord Voldemort from the last Harry Potter book. Then Jason realised what he had said and snorted. "Actually, no, I don't regret it. You deserved it, Piper!" Tears were now filling in Jason's clear blue eyes. "I loved you! I just wanted us to be together. But you had to go and diss me, huh?"

Jason grabbed Piper's dead body and carried it away to his cabin, not particularly fussed about the fact that blood was trickling onto his tight black V-neck sweater which had cost him 45 dollars, for Hades' sake, or that anyone could see him carrying a dead daughter of Aphrodite.

He flung the door open, and used one hand to open his wardrobe. He shoved Piper inside and grabbed a few pieces of clothing and covered her face with it. Jason looked at Piper's dead form, and feeling no remorse, he closed the cupboard door and walked to his bed, where he sat down.

What should he do now? What if someone asked where Piper was? Well, he wouldn't tell them, that's for sure. He would just say…he would just say her dad had taken her away for the rest of the summer! Yeah, that was a perfect excuse. They were somewhere in Paris or the Bahamas, or maybe even skiing. Piper liked skiing. Well, she used to…before she had been killed.

Jason surprisingly didn't care about being a murderer. He didn't really like Piper that much, she was a bit annoying with all her 'Jason, are you okay?' and 'Jason, do you need anything?' He was glad she was gone now.

But what about Leo? Contrary to popular belief, Leo wasn't as stupid as he looked and acted. He was smarter than people thought he was. Of course, his intelligence and looks had nothing on Jason's, but still, he might pose a threat if he refused to believe Jason's story.

Well, Jason thought, putting his feet up and lying down on his bed whilst smiling evilly to himself, I'll have to find a way to make him believe it then, won't I?

To be continued.

A/N: This story is a parody. I don't hate Piper's guts. But if you do, or don't, please give me a review anyway. Helpful criticism and comments are appreciated!
