Prologue part 1

Jason POV

{}

Currently I was working on the Argo ll with Leo and shockingly Travis and Conner, when I asked them why. They got all sad and mumbled about missing their pranking buddy. I really hope it's not who I think it is. But back to the story.

Leo and I were working silently as Conner and Travis were laughing as they recounted an old story.

" Remember the funeral?", Travis asked.

"Oh yeah, Do you remember the look on her face!", Conner replied.

Leo being Leo, he asked, "Why would a funeral be funny?"

"Well you see young Leo," Travis said in his most fake serious voice," Someone scared the daylights out of Annabeth at a funeral."

"Who was it?"' I asked.

They looked at each other and laughed. "The person the funeral was for", Conner said mysteriously.

"Best scaring ever! I can't believe Annabeth didn't kill him!," Travis laughed.

"Who was it?", Leo urged.

Then they became sad, which was a strange sight for them.

"Percy", they said sadly.

Uncontrollable rage and jealousy unfurled in my chest. But I made myself look impassive. This trade between Camp Jupiter's and Camp Half-Blood's leaders and take their place of power, but the campers here never let me. They would never let me take the role.

Through-out the camp people are like Percy-this, Percy-that. Gods this was so stupid everyone here was ohhing and ahhing at all the 'heroic' things this guy did.

Please, they were probably made up. The campers here let me take charge, they never forgot Percy. Then Leo shook him out of his thoughts.

"What's he like", Leo asked.

This only fueled Jason's urge to beat the stuffing out of Percy Jackson.

You see, ever since Leo heard of Percy's supposed adventures, and he wanted to learn all about Percy. People said was brave and funny, so Percy suddenly became his role model. I was supposed to be his role model, I defeated a Titian!

But no one will give me the respect I deserved. Then Annabeth walked in and started working with the blueprints.

"Hey Annabeth, what's Percy like?",Leo asked.

She got this dreamy expression on her face that immediately turned sad, she did this when someone talked about Percy.

'Well, he always reminded me of someone but only less sure of himself."

"What's he like?", Leo asked again.

"Well who does this remind you of? He's rebellious, not afraid to pick a fight, loyal, funny, a great friend."

She looked at us like she expected us to know the answer. Travis and Conner looked at each other and laughed.

"Remember the creek?," Conner asked.

"Oh yeah! I thought they were going to kill each other!," Travis laughed.

"Have you heard the saying opposites attract?", Annabeth asked.

We nodded. "And what if two people are absolutely alike?"

"Then they might want to kill each other", Leo answered.

"Well, could you just tell us who?", I said sick of the game she was playing.

She gave me a stern look that only a daughter of Athena could pull off and said,"Well you should know Jason, I'm talking about Thalia."

My breath caught in my throat. 'She's lying, I told myself.

"But they're different too," Annabeth continued,"Percy will never give up on someone, and he is less prideful."

"Also it takes him a while to figure out something", Travis said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Shut up!", Annabeth shrieked as she blushed furiously.

"Look whose talking, Travis," a voice said behind me said," It took forever for you to get together with Katie."

Travis blushed and said,"Shut up!" in the same tone as Annabeth.

The voice behind me laughed. I felt a surge of happiness when I realized the voice was my sister, Thalia.

She was walking with two people, a satyr I didn't know and a kid dressed in black that I've seen sulking around camp.

"Hey Thalia," Leo said while trying to pat down his untamable hair,"What's up?"

She pointed towards the sky and said,"My dad."

We laughed.

"But I heard you guys talking about Percy." she said and the temperature of the room dropped.

Thalia sighed and said,"I miss my crazy cousin."

'So she likes Percy better, huh, well I'll show them what a real fraud he is' I thought bitterly.

"So do we," everyone who knew Percy chorused.

"Well get him back as soon as we finished this boat.' Thalia encouraged.

And just as she finished that sentence the pipe Leo was working on burst and steam billowed into his face. He screamed in frustration and yelled,"I can;t do this, this pipe has broken three times already."

"Grover, has Tyson left yet?", he shook his head then she turned to Leo,"Tyson is a friend of ours whose a great blacksmith whose worked in the gods forges, he can help you with that."

"Okay everybody, lets take a break and say bye to Tyson before he leaves." Thalia ordered.

Leo jumped up excited to meet a professional. Everyone also got up and we started to walk towards the cabins.

As we walked to the cabins I zoned out and stared at the arena. I grimaced, that place is where I decided I hated Percy Jackson.
