Previously: Chiron notched an arrow and shot Jason in the neck, or tried to. It just bounced off harmlessly. Nico and Chiron's eyes widened. Jason snorted.
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Jason Jackson, son of Poseidon and Percy's brother."
Now:
Grover, Nico and Chiron stood completely still. 'Probably in fear, shock or both,' Jason thought.
"Guys," Annabeth said waving her hand in front of their faces. "Hello?"
"Hey!" Percy shouted. He had been more irritable lately.
"Percy, what is this, whatever it is, doing at camp?" Grover asked. "How did it even get in?"
"His name's Jason and he's a demigod. The gods turned him into this hoping to prevent a prophecy from coming true."
"Okay, so what's your story, Jason?" Nico asked passionately. He was probably used to weird monsters (though Jason wasn't a monster, he just looked like one) being a son of Hades. Jason smiled. He was never accepted by anyone (not including Percy and Annabeth) until now.
"Okay, sit down. This'll be a long story." Everyone sat except for Jason who lay down. "When Percy and I were born the gods got a prophecy that told them that I would cause the end of Olympus and Western civilization. They were positive that you were the child of the other prophecy.
"Trying to prevent the prophecy about me from coming true, they turned me into this. They were also trying to protect you.
"The gods kept me on Olympus for about five years. When I realized what was happening and that they planed to kill me I got the Hades out of there. Of course there was a fight. You can never get out of there easily.
"The gods thought that they had escaped the prophecy until they realized what they had turned me into. They saw that only one thing could hurt me. Not even their most powerful godly weapons could harm me. At least, not much. They soon gave up and even contemplated bringing Typhoon out to get me." Everyone shuddered at the thought of that. "I think they're still arguing about that. At least that was true before they realized that Stygian ice could hurt me. The gods told the demigods to craft these ice weapons to hunt and kill me. They could never get close though.
"So I grew to like this new form. For a while anyway. Until I found that I was constantly chased and threatened. I knew if I hurt them in any way they would have all the more reason to hunt me. I was always on the run. I never stopped except to hunt, eat, drink and sleep which I did with one eye open, literally. I didn't even know I could do that." Jason laughed a bit.
"I've lived that way for years now, always running, living in fear. I slowly began to forget what my life was like before all this. I've forgotten what I look like and what it was like to be a normal half-blood.
"When I found you, Percy, I recognized you right away. I was so happy that you weren't too scared to run and I was even happier when you treated me like a brother and not some stranger.
"Then there's you, Annabeth. You also treated me well. I felt like you had been my friend for a long time.
"And then Nico, I sensed that you were a son of Hades so I guess it makes sense that you would treat me well but I'm still glad you did."
There was a pause.
"I think that he should stay," Nico said.
"Really?" Jason said excitedly.
"Yeah."
"And where will he stay?" Chiron asked while eyeing Jason. Percy smiled.
"In my cabin, obviously," Percy said.
"Awesome," Jason said. "Hey, can I get a tour of the camp?"
"Sure. Annabeth and I can show you around." Annabeth nodded.
"Mind if I come? I want to get to know you better," Nico said looking at Jason.
"Sure," Jason answered. "Can we see the stables first? I want to see how the pegasi react to me."
"Yeah, that should be interesting." As Nico, Percy, Annabeth and Jason left for the stables Chiron held Grover back.
"Keep an eye on it- I mean Jason." Grover opened his mouth to protest only to close it a second later and nod.
When the four demigods (does Jason count as a half-blood?) and Grover got to the stables Annabeth stopped outside the doors. "Okay," she said. "Do we have any idea how we're going to handle the pegasi if they freak out?"
"Come on, Anna. Lets just see what happens," Jason said. He opened the door and walked inside.
'Hey, Boss!' Blackjack said. 'Is that-?' he stopped talking immediately. He reared up and whinnied nervously upon noticing Jason. The other pegasi looked over and started to freak out as well. The other half-bloods and Grover rushed in already knowing what was causing the commotion.
"Hey, Blackjack! Guys! Calm down!" Percy said. "He's not going to hurt you!"
"What in Hades are you talking about, Boss? Look at this thing! He's worse than any freaking monster!'
At this, Jason's eyes glowed brighter, his tails whipped around him faster, and he let out a blood-chilling growl. Percy stepped forward to explain to Blackjack, but Jason stopped him.
"No," Jason said. "Let me tell him." He walked right up into Blackjack's face and said, "I'm Percy's brother, Jason, son of Poseidon. I'm a half-blood. This," he said pointing to himself, "is what that damn sea god turned me into due to a prophecy." Thunder boomed loudly overhead. "Yeah, yeah. You know you can't hurt me!" Jason yelled to the sky. "If you don't want your damn horses' ass torn off I suggest you shut up."
Blackjack immediately quieted not wanting his 'damn horses' ass' ripped off. Still, Jason's sadness and anger had not yet subsided. He grabbed a wheelbarrow and threw it at the other wall thirty feet away. It broke down like it was made of Styrofoam and the wheelbarrow just kept rolling. Jason roared so loud it probably reached Tatarus. He gave one last look at the two and tore out through the hole he had made.
Percy glared at the black pegasus. "Look what you did. His life's been hard enough and you just had to piss him off. Now I have to go find him and bring him back." 'If he even wants to come back,' Percy thought to himself.
'Boss-,' Blackjack started.
"No, Blackjack. Just- just stop." Percy ran out before Blackjack could say anything else.
