I
Jason
Jason was exhausted. They had been searching throughout San Francisco all day. He'd been under pressure more than this before but now instead of a memory, the pressure was real.
Everyone was counting on him to remember the site of the camp, to sense his past, to remember anything he could. Annabeth looked like she was ready to question him on every tree they saw. He knew she had a thing for this Percy guy, but still he couldn't be that much of a hot stud. He imagined it being how he longed to see Reyna again.
He shook his head to rid that thought from his mind.
Piper, who had been standing next to him during the entire explore, stood back.
"Jason, are you okay," she said with concern, "You look frustrated",
Jason imagined how that could be true. He didn't want to feel this way about Reyna; he was seriously out of his mind about Piper. He didn't want to hurt her. He didn't want her to cry the way he knew she had when he told her he hadn't remembered her. He never mentioned Reyna to Piper. But over time, his memory kept getting sharper. He remembered their journeys together, him and Reyna.
Jason could remember the time they had battled several dracaena during the Titan War, the time they escaped the prison of the titans with their other friends Dakota and Bobby, etc... The point was he liked Reyna and Piper. He had never asked to be part of this love triangle, so why had this happened to him. It was Juno. Jason could also remember his feud with the Goddess of Marriage; he often has disagreements with her, him being a son of Jupiter. She had made him not remember Reyna just to trick him into liking Piper. She had the option to make them just friends, but Jason had to thank her because he wouldn't want to not like Piper, just to be out of this mess.
"It's nothing Piper, just a headache," Jason lied, "Speaking of which, Annabeth, can we please take a rest,"
Annabeth sighed, "But I can feel him, he's somewhere near," she said, her typical answer, she saw how the rest of us looked and lightened up, "Okay guys, but just for a moment, and we're not going within two blocks, so we'll just go to the park, this time is different, this time, I know he's near," she stated, we all moaned but followed her as she lead us up the street and to a park that had a peaceful look to it, trees everywhere, it was like a Disney World for fauns. Satyr was the Greek name for fauns. Jason had trouble with saying the Greek terms to things. If he and Percy were going to convince the Roman camp into cooperating with the Greek, he felt Percy was doing a better job.
The park was simple. Annabeth misunderstood Jason when he said, 'take a rest', he really meant, 'canwe stop for like a month'. They sat in the park on a wobbly bench. Jason and Piper sat far away from Leo and Annabeth. They basically were a couple now, it'd never been said or made official but it couldn't be taken as anything else what with Jason sending her flowers, getting help from the Apollo campers to make poems for her, and their big kiss at the ending of Capture the Flag after their victory. Jason and Piper got into their romance state. That being the cause that Annabeth and Leo decided to leave. Once again, Jason was admiring Pipers beauty. How she looked so great without trying. She wasn't like her half-sister Drew, she was in fact the opposite. She was the girl that the Aphrodite demigods had looked up to because unlike most of them, she was a hero. That's why she often won battles with her little 'friend' Katoptris in the arena. Jason noticed every time it was a pause between the two of them that he would do this and she would blush and look at the scar on his lip. Jason dazed off into a lightening cloud where it was just him and her. For a moment he thought he could see right through her, see her every thought, and he knew she was thinking and seeing the same things he was.
Jason's heart was pounding the way it always did when they had their little meetings. But this time was different. Jason was having a tough time, thanks to himself. He was putting more pressure on himself. He was considering telling Piper about Reyna. It felt wrong. He knew that even if he just had a crush on Reyna and they were just friends, she'
d still give him a hug, and even that would get Pipers mood down. She may not act like it but deep down, like her siblings, Piper cared a lot about romance. And he knew he was at the center of her romance life. He didn't want her to mess with his mind, why should he mess with hers?
He prepared to tell her, choosing his words carefully, "Piper, I have to tell you something," He never got a chance to finish.
Just then, as if the gods hadn't wanted him to tell her, there was a loud thud on the ground, and a quick grab at Jason's senses.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
Out of the direction Leo and Annabeth had parted, came a hellhound the size of a school bus, not that Jason had ever been on one before last month. Before it, running and screaming, was Leo followed by Annabeth. Jason glance at the key chain Leo had made for him to go around his wrist. Seeing as his old coin had broken. This new weapon reminded him of his sister. Secretly the key was a Celestial Bronze sword about an inch over two feet, a handle of gold. He touched the key and it transformed. Jason Grace was ready to go into battle.
