Chapter 10: Jason
This was probably the worst moment of his life. He knew this was all his fault. He should have realized that Piper never came out from her room and he should have flown down faster when he saw her on the deck. Now she was on the verge of death.
The tears were streaming down his face even faster now but it didn't matter. Everyone else including Frank and Leo, who weren't the most sensitive type, were crying too.
He slowly picked her up, trying not to hurt the broken bones all over her body, and immediately was covered in her blood. She was lying in his arms like a limp rag doll. He said in a panicked voice, "Someone, get some ambrosia and nectar!"
Nico grabbed some out of his bag and handed it to Jason. Jason gently put Piper on the ground, covered in grass and daises, and put some nectar in her mouth. Her head was on his legs once again. Her eyes opened a little and she said in a wheezy voice, "Jason, its no use." Then she looked around at everyone else and said, "You all have been amazing friends and I will never forget you." Just then Hazel burst into tears again and Frank had to walk over to comfort her. Then Piper turned to Jason again and said, "I love you."
Piper shut her eyes, and her breathing slowed to a stop. Jason put his head on hers and sat there crying for a long time. Then he looked up at the sky, this directed to his dad, and screamed, "Dad, please come help! I have never really asked you for anything! Please!"
He had no idea if he would come or was even listening but he had to try, for Piper.
For a few minutes there was silence, then there was a giant crackle of lighting with the smell of flower perfume and Zeus and Aphrodite were standing right in front of them.
Aphrodite ran over to her daughter but Zeus walked over to Jason. He said to him, "Son, I am extremely proud of the accomplishments you have made over the last few weeks. I am sorry that I have not told you that sooner." and he looked down at his feet.
Jason still upset at the fact his father never talked to him, "Dad, it's okay. I understand. You have more important things to do on Olympus than coming to talk to me. Olympus is your top priority. I get it."
Zeus put his hand on Jason's shoulder and said, "Just because you don't see me doesn't mean that I'm not there. I will always be in your dreams and in your mind."
Jason now feeling kind of bad for yelling at him said, "Sorry dad. I just kind of got upset. Anyway," just realizing that his face was still streaked with tears, "please help Piper. She means so much to my friends and I. Please, do anything!"
Zeus looking really sad now said, "I'm sorry Jason, but if she has already died, she can not be brought back to life. Even I can't do that, it's practically impossible."
Jason ran over to his dad and started crying on his shoulder. What was wrong with him? He is a Roman, he isn't supposed to cry. He is supposed to stay strong. Well, now that reputation was gone.
When he finally pulled himself together long enough, he walked over to Piper again. Aphrodite was crying but her makeup must have been magic or something because it still looked perfect. He leaned down to kiss her and whispered in her ear even though she couldn't hear him, "I love you."
He walked over to his dad again and for a while there was awkward silence. Then Zeus said in a depressed voice, "Well, there might be one way. It has only been done once, but that was hundreds of years ago. It is extremely hard, you most likely will die trying."
Jason looked down and said, "Anything for Piper."
Zeus said in a sad voice, "You must journey through an obstacle course type challenge to get to the stone of dreams. You will be able to take three friends with you. But I thought you had to meet Percy and Annabeth at the doors of death?"
Jason looking longingly at his dad said, "Piper is more important."
Everyone looked at him and surprise and Hazel said, "Jason what is wrong with you? Percy and Annabeth are our friends and they are in Tartarus probably fighting Gaea right now!"
Jason looked at her ashamed and looked around at the shocked and angry faces staring at him and said, "I'm so sorry guys. I don't know what I was thinking. Its just that we know Piper is dead and we don't know if Annabeth and Percy are." He looked over at his dad and said, "Is there any possible way to get back Piper and still have time to meet Percy and Annabeth on the other side of the gates?"
Zeus crinkled his forehead in thought and said after a while, "There is if you make it out alive, but barely."
Jason looked at his friends and said, "guys, are you going to help me here? I cant choose between three of you."
Frank, Nico, and Hazel walked toward him and Frank said, "Piper is our friend too. We will help you get her back. We know how special she is to you."
Jason was so thankful that his friends were going to help him but that left Leo by himself.
Jason walked over to him and said, "I don't want to leave you behind. Are you sure you don't want to come?"
Leo looked at him with his sly smile and said, "Dude, have you seen the ship? I will probably be able to fix it by the time you get back. I'll be fine."
With that Jason, Frank, Hazel, and Nico walked toward Zeus, ready to face whatever challenges awaited them.
