Jason looked back at Nico and Will, who were casually talking behind them. Jason smirked at the sight; despite Will walking and Nico flying, Nico still had to look up to Will. Jason sighed, his mind pulling to the thought. He trusted Nico of course, but should he know about Will? What Will is? Well, Nico did keep his and Pipers secret.
Jason stood at the edge of the Equilibrium River, watching the firefly's mingle around the dark illuminating trees. His shadow no longer cast, as the empty night stole its shape. Jason picked nervously at the flowers in hand, his breathing out of control. He looked up at the sound of a bush rustling. Piper stepped out of the bush, her eyes wandering to Jason's.
She looked beautiful, wearing a black hood over her usual gray dress attire. Her boots hovered slightly above the ground, her purple wings flapping rapidly. Even in the night, her wings seemed to stand out. Her knife was hooked in her belt, its metal glimmer reflecting on the water. She had her hands on the hood, pulling it down and only distantly could Jason see her face. She wasn't wearing any make up, not like she needed any, yet her beauty seemed to glow. Her lips were puckered and her cheeks were curved in a gorgeous way. Her eyes were captivating, pulling you in and yet pushing you away, eyes an unknowable color.
"Hey" Jason called, his voice loud and strong. She smiled.
"Hey" she replied. He smirked as he gazed at her from across the river.
"You ready" he asked. She sucked in a breath, a nervous look appearing on her face.
"Yes" she replied, her multi colored eyes watching Jason in fear and anticipation. She looked like she wanted to close her eyes tight, and never open them again; yet she watched hungrily on what happened next.
Jason clenched his eyes, his face twisting in determination. His wings fluttered, going higher than any other fairy's wings should. He was a Zuthes, so his powers gave him the ability to fly higher than other fairies could.
He flew forward, his feet on top of the rivers bank. Piper bit her lip, gripping so tight on her on her danger her hands turned white.
Soon Jason's feet landed on the Insidious ground, his body a foot away from Pipers. He opened his eyes and smiled.
"See, works every time," he cooed, raising his hand and bringing it up to her cheek. She smiled, rolling her eyes.
"Ya, ya. Your right" she said, grabbing the hand on her cheek. They giggled and leaned forward, they're mouths inches apart.
"Piper..?" a voice asked, softly speaking from behind Jason. Jason swiveled around, his first initial thought to protect Piper. There was a guy, half the size of Jason, flying lightly above the ground. It was hard to see his wings, seeing as they almost blended in with the shadows.
"Nico! Um, wha-at are you doing here?" Piper stuttered nervously, pushing Jason's hand down. Nico looked back and forth between the two of them, his arms crossing over his chest, his hip out.
"You're an Arcadian aren't you?" He asked, his facial expression resenting confusion. Jason looked at Piper, asking with his eyes if he should answer this or not. She looked between him and Nico, slowly nodding her head.
"Yes, I am. Though, I am completely in love with Piper and I will never hurt her. Never intentionally." Jason stated, smirking slightly at the blush on Pipers cheeks. Nico stared down Jason, the intensity deadly. Nico finally shrugged.
"Okay" he said, yawning. Piper frowned, stepping forward.
"Okay? You're not going to tell any one?" she asked questioningly.
"No, It's not my place to stop…. Whatever you're doing. I don't know how this started, or if I should trust this, but it's late and my brain is on autopilot. I also don't know how you," he thrusted his figure towards Jason, "got over the border. But, stay good or I will raise the shadows and kick your ass" he finished, waving goodbye to Piper and whispering good night.
As he walked away Jason asked, "Shadows? Wait, does that mean he's a child of Hadian? The stealer of the-" Jason had begun, but finished at his last sentence. Piper gave him a sideways look, one of disappointment, nodding her head.
Jason winced at the memory, going back to reality. Cecil was looking off to the side, watching Lou's back as she pointed out different trees to Percy. Jason watched as Lou and Cecil's house slowly became closer and closer to them.
"Jason" Cecil said suddenly, turning his attention to Jason. Jason looked slightly down to him, slowing his flying pace to match his.
"I'm going to propose to Lou on Thursday" he whispered, a little blush spread on his face. Jason grinned, wrapping an arm around Cecil's neck and giving him a nuggy with his hand.
"Hey Jason stop!" Cecil whined as he pushed Jason off of him, Jason laughing to himself. Lou and Percy looked back them, frowning. Cecil grumbled.
"See you got their attention! It's a surprise, Jason!" Cecil whispered harshly. Jason shrugged, smiling.
Lou Ellen and Cecil started dating in Arcadian High, back when they were teenagers. Every Fairy attends the same Pre-school, Elementary, Middle school, and High school. In those years, you learn everything you need; from what to do if your stranded with no food, to what 8x-6=7x + 3x +4 is. You get the same fairy classmates each grade, from toddlers to teenagers.
Basically, you know get to know everyone over the years, from deepest secrets to most terrifying fears. He, Will, Cecil, and Lou Ellen were best friends back then. He knew, of course, everything about his friends, like how Cecil liked Lou and how Lou liked Cecil, except both of them thought the other thought as them as just friends. He also knew Wills sexuality, which took Will a long time to confess.
"Okay, come on in guys. Ill go get my potions in the back, Okay?" Lou asked, not really asking for a response. She pushed the door to her house open, walking to the back. Jason followed into the tree house, Cecil behind him and eventually he heard two sets of footsteps follow. The door closed as the room lit up.
Ending it here? Jeeze Lynn, why! I know I suck. I felt like I shouldn't include them hiding their wings until the next chapter, because a lot happens next and I just didn't think it would work squished together.
Anyways, I'm only sort of happy with this chapter. I thought It would be good if Jason got a point of view, but Ill probably go back to Nico or Will in the next. A lot was hinted in this chapter, especially in Jason's flash back. Okay it was only in Jason's flashback but that's beside the point. We'll see what happens next soon, hopefully.
Sorry for the lateness of this. I really would like to upload two ideas for two different story's but I'm waiting until I finished Betly Starts and of course, Arcadian and Insidious.
Xoxo- Lynn
