It's amazing how a single word can hold so much emotion. For example, when someone says "yes" to a wedding proposal, you can tell that they are very joyful, maybe even a bit uncertain. Another example is "cliffhanger." While that word is not normally said, it can fill you with hate, happiness, love, fear, ect ect. Pretty much any emotion ever. Or the word "food." That can make a person very hungry and realize how much they really want to eat that large, juicy, hamburger. Excuse me a moment while I wish I had one of these so called "hamburgers." (I wan' it! Why can't I magic one into air in front of me? Wahhh!.)
I...I'm okay, now. Where was I? Ah, yes, this is why it is no real surprise that the word uttered from Jason Grace's mouth was so full of despair, disgust, horror, fear, and betrayal.
"No," was that word. He spoke it while staring in disbelief at a computer Chiron had given him. Normally demigods were forbidden from even looking at any electronic device in fear of monsters discovering them, but given all the commotion they had caused when they defeated Gaia, Chiron had decided that it would be better to check if the mortals knew anything about them. And what did the mortals love more than cats? The Internet, to look at more cats. That had led to Jason 'Googling' anything about the Godly world he could think of.
After only seeing myths about the Greek Gods, he supposed that would be enough, but noo. The centaur had been worried that somehow things about the demigods themselves had leaked. Jason had been very surprised that when he typed "Percy Jackson" into the search box thingy, and 22,400,000 results appeared. A whole book had been written about the son of the sea god. He freaked out. Then calmed a bit when he reasoned that since they were not stuck in a government facility being poked with very sharp sticks, that the mortals thought the demigods simply fiction. After a bit more snooping, he found a website called "Fanfiction." Curious, he clicked the link. It took him about twenty minutes for him to figure out what was going on, and then he found the "Percy Jackson" part. He was a bit offended, why did Percy get his own website section? Yeah, he had saved Olympus, killed the Minotaur on countless occasions, lost and regained his memory, defeated Ares... at that point Jason had decided that Percy did deserve his own website. He clicked "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" while wondering what in Hades made this "Rick Riordan" choose that name of all names. Why not "The Demigod" or "This Kid is Doomed"? Those sounded much better tha-
That was the point he had clicked on a story titled "BRASON!" His eyes skimmed the words, catching only enough for him to understand what was going on in this... monstrosity.
Here is a very basic summery.
"I love you, Jason!" cooed a brick.
"I love you more, Lydia!" Jason cooed back.
Yeah, that was pretty much it. Jason couldn't understand how someone could write three thousand words of him confessing his love to a brick. After some more frantic searching, he had just stopped and stared. There was more of this cursed "Brason", and he was sure there was some hiding where he could not find it. That had led to where we are now, with him muttering his "no," and us enjoying his stricken expression. Seriously, he looks like he's been run over with a truck! Without, you know, the whole being run over by a truck thing.
"No!" He yells louder, and then falls off the chair he had gotten from the Hephaestus kids, down to the floor of the Zeus cabin. He curls into the fetal position and desperately attempts to remove what he just read from his mind. He tries not to cry, which actually sounds silly, but how would you feel if you just found out that someone wrote a book about one of your friends, discovered a website, and found that people hate you enough to pair you with a brick and call it Brason? This was something very new to the poor son of Jupiter, yes, not everyone likes him, but he had to of yet met anyone who despised him. And now he had. He had met a very large amount of people who ship him with a brick of all things, and there must be countless others who just simply hate him.
He loses the battle with his eyes and tears freely fall from them just before his door crashes to the floor. Heheh, that rhymed. Sorry, getting back on track now. Into the King of the Gods' cabin comes what appears to be the whole camp, but which is only half, seeing as the other half is still trying to wake up because it is eleven-thirty at night. And who in their right mind would be awake at eleven thirty?
Seeing no immediate danger, most of the sleepy half-dressed demigods flood back out of the cabin off to their beds before the harpies catch them, leaving the seven to deal with the weepy Jason. A lot of awkward silence takes place, interrupted only by the soft sound of Jason crying.
Eventually Piper's brain catches up, and she kneels down next to her boyfriend and gently asks, "what's wrong?"He attempts to pull himself together, but can only point at the computer, still showing that dreaded website. The group marvel at the computer for a second, unused to seeing one, then cautiously read what is shown on the screen.
Piper, the one perhaps most acquainted with computers,gets up and navigates her way around the 'site after giving Jason a comforting pat on the head. The next hour or so was filled with gasps, vomit, and tears. At the end, when no one could go on reading this horror of a website, they all are seated on the floor, staring at nothing in particular.
That is how Chiron found them the next day, looking at a wall, eyes red from crying, and the computer smashed to pieces on the ground. The computer is so destroyed, that the only way the centaur can tell it's the computer is that nothing else is broken, and Jason muttering "evil. So evil. Why would they do this to me?"
