Mostly, Jason's past from my point of view! Hope you like it!

It was past midnight when I checked the clock. Leo and Percy were asleep. I couldn't sleep now.

My memories were coming back from when Cynthia and I were together. I was right; we used to have loads of fun.

I just stared at the ceiling now and thinking of the times I missed the most in the life, and the day that had changed me into a proud, good-for-nothing guy.

Though I wasn't that good-for-nothing, I was bad.

"Fight for your life little one," the scary wolf had said. I had just entered the house as soon as mom told me to go.

I was three then so I didn't know much. In front of me was another kid, probably five. He was stronger compared to me, a robust kid.

The others whispered as though they thought I was going to lose. I didn't like that, being thought about as a loser was bad enough, so I attacked the kid.

He was strong, but I was smart, I held on to him and hit him whenever I got the chance. I hid from him, since he was big, I could find safe places.

In the end I was the winner and everyone stared wide eyed towards me. "You are indeed special, son." The wolf had said.

I was happy to have been able to win against all hope. Take that kids, I am always the winner. I had thought smiling to myself.

The wolf then looked towards one of the kids who had witnessed the fight and said, "Take Rodger with you, we don't need losers." She had said giving me a toothy grin.

I shuddered at the site of the grin, it still made me shiver. "Come on Jason Grace, we will find out who your god-parent is during the recital." She said and I followed her without questioning her motives.

Then I saw her, she wore roman robes and was taller to me by 2 inches. Her smile was dazzling; I guess that's how I came to like her.

"Cynthia, my dear child, Take him to the Mercury cabin." Wolf said. "Yes, my lady." Cynthia said bowing. Her voice sounded like the sea.

"Come on Jason." She said smiling her dazzling smile at me. I couldn't help but smile back.

The memory then was muddled. Next I remember the two of us, grown up, probably six or seven years old, sword fighting with each other and giggling.

We were the only ones in the camp who used to have fun, apart from the mercury cabin. "Son of Jupiter sir, you cannot lay a hand on me." Cynthia said still giggling.

"Call me Jason, miss." I said chuckling. "Let's forget the politeness when Lupa isn't around please." Cynthia whispered.

"Why, daughter of Neptune?" The wolf said coming from nowhere in particular. Cynthia froze, she was clearly scared of her, but I wasn't.

"How do you do that?" I asked frustrated that she was the one being punished. Lupa sighed. "Do what, son of Jupiter?" she asked, clear sarcasm in her tone.

"That, coming from nowhere thing." I said pointing at the place from which she had appeared. "That is one of the things I was gifted with from the gods." She said clearly, she had told me this before.

"Just asking, no need to be sarcastic about it." I said looking at her with full confidence. "You need to learn how to behave son, if you were not the son of Jupiter, you would have been, elsewhere." She said looking at me in the eye.

This was her favorite glare which normally worked on everyone except me. I stared back at her with more strength.

"Just meet me at the big house later," She said closing her eyes, a clear sign of defeat.

"Okay," Cynthia said before I could say something more insulting. She left and then Cynthia just glared at me. The only person's glare I was afraid of was hers.

"What did I do know?" I asked innocently, a bit nervous too. "What was that, Mr. Grace?" She asked daring me to look into her eyes which I could not. "Just taking revenge for the Mercury kids." I said.

The kids from Mercury had slid a tomato onto her favorite sleeping spot on her couch, and the couch had soaked all red and Lupa couldn't sleep all day. She said this was disrupting the discipline, but she just missed her favorite couch.

So she suspended the both of them two weeks of cleaning the sheds. And may I say, the sheds were hell dirty. Cynthia just sighed.

"The Mercury kids can handle their own problems, you don't need to fight for them," disappointment in her voice. "And Lupa is nice; they had done worse before the couch." She said anger coming back to her.

"You're dead bro, she is worse than Lupa." George said passing by. "Scoot off George." Cynthia said trying to calm herself.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you; just that Lupa needs the taste of her own medicine." I said looking at her wistfully.

"You just try to protect yourself, for once," She said looking at me tears wielding up in her eyes. She ran to her cabin.

My memories were flooded, next we both were in a mountain fighting some monsters, I had had this thought before, this was the time I was angry with her for not accepting me.

We were fighting a bunch of Venti and clearly we were doing better. I fought them easily, but Cynthia was having problems, I helped her out, we were fighting vigorously.

We killed them all and the next thing I know is Cynthia retreating into the woods, looking hopelessly at me. She mouthed the words, I am sorry, And disappeared into the woods. We had won but I came back empty handed.

When I had come back to the camp, everyone asked me where Cynthia was, I didn't reply. They probably thought she was dead, but I didn't care, I ran towards Lupa's house.

"She disappeared." I whispered as I entered the room. Lupa looked at me gravely and said, "What!" I told her about what had happened and how she went away.

Lupa looked down, "So she left us," she said quietly. I nodded, thinking she would do something about this, thinking we would get her back, I was already ready for it, but Lupa startled me, she said, "Then let her be," I was so angry with what she had just said I yelled at her.

"What do you mean, Let her be, she needs to be saved, she just left us, I bet it is for our own safety, probably someone must have told her that she needs to leave us if she wants us to live." I said still yelling.

"She has made the decision herself, she chose to leave us, so let her be." Lupa said and for the first time I felt the power of the gaze. I just ran out of the room still not getting it.

I ran to a secret place me and Cynthia used to play in. I just looked down at the sunset she loved so much. I guess I should leave her alone, she probably wants to be on her own, but how will she survive? I thought still scared for her.

Then onwards I behaved rudely with everyone. I blamed myself for her disappearance and made the other campers suffer with me, it only seemed fair. Then I was transported to the Greek camp.

"Jason, it's six-thirty, we are late!" I heard Leo yell and woke up.
