The rain smashed onto the sea with the force of bullets, waves bigger than giants crashed against each other. A pegasus flew through the air battling against the weather. On it's back a figure was clinging on desperately, her face as stormy as the world around her.

Suddenly a different winged creature came out of nowhere, slashing and screeching. It attacked the pegasus and the girl on it's back.

The girl was having none of it. She yelled at it defiantly and plunged a spear into the creature's back.

The monster clawed at her before falling to the ocean below. The girl almost toppled after it, out of balance from the thrust she'd made with her spear.

She clasped wildly at the pegasus' mane. It didn't look like she was going to make it, her dark hair fell about her shoulders as she screamed, the dark water looming below.

Jason sat up, his mind racing. He threw the covers off, and sat on the edge of his bed, taking shaky breaths.

Reyna was in danger.

But where was she going? Why was she in the middle of the ocean? By herself?

Questions whirled around Jason's brain. He rubbed his sore shoulder. He really needed to sleep after all the fighting they'd done today. Apparently monsters didn't like the idea of a flying boat full of demigods.

He sighed and put his head in his hands.

There was a soft knock on the door. Without thinking Jason said "What?"

Piper opened the door shyly and took a small step into the room before she noticed that Jason wasn't wearing a shirt. Her eyes widened for a second.

Jason looked down subconsciously and crossed his arms over his bare chest.

"Are you okay? It sounded like you were having a nightmare." Piper finally said.

"I was." Jason said. He was rather surprised at Piper. Every time he brushed her off she came back, still trying to be friends, if not more than that.

Jason had to admit she was pretty and she was the nicest Aphrodite girl he'd ever met. She was so different to the rest of her relatives. She didn't try to look good, she just was. She didn't try and hide who she really was under make up.

All of a sudden Jason wasn't sure if he was thinking about Piper or Reyna.

"Was it really bad?" Piper asked, sitting next to him on his bed.

Jason shrugged. "I've had worse."

"You don't have to tell me about it if you don't want to." Piper said, smiling at him and placing a hand on his shoulder.

Which basically meant she wanted to know what it was about. Jason knew she wouldn't be happy with his answer but he told her anyway. "It was about Reyna."

"Oh." Piper said, more surprised than sad. But she removed her hand from his shoulder. "Is she okay?"

"I don't know." Jason said, trying to keep his voice from shaking.

"From what you've told me about her, she sounds as if she should be able to take care of herself." Piper said, attempting to make Jason feel better.

Jason got defensive. "I know she can take care of herself but she shouldn't have to. No one should have to fight on their own."

Piper brightened beside him. "That's why we made the Argo II. So that both Greeks and Romans could fight together, defeat Gaia and make peace."

"But what if it doesn't work? What if Gaia comes back? Why are we even doing this? Why do we always have to save the gods butts? Can't they do that themselves?" Jason ranted.

"Don't talk like that." Piper whispered, she looked scared.

"Why not?" Jason clenched his fists angrily.

"Because that's the first step to joining the other side!"

"Are you serious Piper? This isn't Star Wars."

"Yes, I'm serious. Did you hear about Luke?" Piper asked.

Jason remembered the pictures in the Zeus cabin of Thalia, Annabeth and the tall blonde boy. "Yes." Jason said quietly. He wasn't the biggest fan of Luke, he'd broken his sister's heart.

"Annabeth told me that Luke talked like that. He didn't like the gods. He resented them. And you know where he ended up." Piper looked genuinely concerned.

Jason nodded and ran his hand through his hair. "I know, but maybe he was right."

Piper gasped and stood up. "You're just tired." She said. "You should get some more sleep."

Jason nodded sullenly and watched Piper leave.

She paused at the door and turned around, "Everything's going to be fine, okay? We are going to win this war."

Jason wasn't convinced.

And a small part of him almost didn't want to win the war.
