I don't own anything but Emma.
Jason made his way slowly through the monster-filled forest. It had become a habit in the last few days. He needed more structure in his daily life than Camp Half-Blood gave. The sun was low and would soon set when he saw her. At first he thought she was a monster by the way she watched him but he had never heard of one that looked as human as she did. She was short than him and she wore tatter jean shorts and ripped and resown leggings. She was pulling on faded yellow and white fingerless gloves to meet her white zip up cape-jacket with a rip and stain on the left shoulder. Her skin was pale and her brown hair shown with blonde and even a few red highlights. But what was seemed off the most was the eyes. They were an odd shape with long eyelashes that bordered outlined the shape. The color was intriging, too. Not like Piper's where the color was impossible to guess. They were obviously sky blue like his. She stopped and stilled. The eyes stared at him. They seemed to scan over him. They narrowed, an eyebrow arched, and went down as fast as it went up. She knelt down across the overside river. Jason said the only thing that came into his head when he saw that.
"You don't have kneel."
She glanced up and her eyes raged. She pushed off the ground and jumped the river easily, relieving two daggers from her boots.
" I wasn't, Jason Grace, trust me," Her voice was soft as she twisted the sharp edges. Jason was glad his years of training took over as she attacked him. She was better than Jason had thought. It ended with the gold dagger pressed against his throat and the other bronze dagger point in his direction.
"Is that Imperial Gold?"
She pulled the dagger away from his throat and a gave a short laugh.
"You always knew when to ask the right questions."
"Are you from Camp Jupiter?"
She gave another laugh. She stealthed the daggers. "I could ask you the same question, son of Jupiter."
"How do you know that?"
"Because I know you,"
"But Juno returned my memories!" He protested. He had been through too much not to remember someone like her. Her smile slipped and she chuckle saddeden.
"That is not Juno's doing, my friend." She hopped the river again.
"So you've been to Camp Jupiter, though?" Jason was still foggy on the details of his old home. He remember a few people like Hazel, Octavian, Dakota, Don and Reyna. Reyna was the foggiest of them all. If she knew?
"Yes, I have,"
"And you're still alive?" Jason followed across the river hestitantly.
"You don't remember me, they don't here and they don't there. That's the way it will be." Her eyes seem to shine and her voice was said. She glance at the treetops and twisted a ring on her finger.
"It shouldn't be right," Jason spoke up after a few moments. She seemed to just accept it though and that what wasn't right.
"There is a lot about me that isn't right, Jason Grace." She turned back to him and smiled. He felt like he had seen that smile before but there wasn't thing to back it up besides the faint reconition.
"What's your name?"
She paused as if to deside if it was worth going over if he wouldn't remember.
"Emma"
"Emma" Jason echoed her. It seemed right. She turned back to the trees and started to walk towards camp after slinging a few purple ripped shirts and new orange shirts into a leather pack and that pack over her right, unwounded shoulder.
"Wait!" He called after her and lighting flashed in the distance. He was losing his Rome stance.
She spun around to face him. Her eyes bore into him like they had done what seemed like many times before. They were calculating but not cold. It was the opposite. Jason were drawn to them, to spill all the thoughts and concerns he was having about Reyna and Piper meeting, and his father. Not to mention her.
"Tell me how I know you and why I can't remember."
She gave him a smile and strolled back to the river. She sat sadly on a log and patted the spot next to it.
"I will tell you some of it. The easier things. But I cannot answer all the whys" Her voice was slightly sad but there was hint of repeation and annoyacne. She sat, laughed, and talked until the sun was about to set.
"Will you ever tell me everything?" Jason asked as she stood with a smile. She pulled out a black hat with speckled colored threads and put it over her banges, hiding her eyes. Jason was starting to forget all that had been said.
"I'll make you a deal. Ok?" She crouched down in front of him.
"Alright."
"If you remember any part of this conversation, I will tell you everything about Camp Jupiter."
"Deal. Will I ever see you again?" They stood and he bore into her.
"Maybe. It depends on what the fates have planned, Child of Rome." She started off.
"I'll remember," Please, Father, help me remember. Jason called after her.
"Of course you will and now if you don't mind I have a meeting with a centuar." She smiled.
"Good-Bye Jason Grace. May we meet again." And with that she was gone from the forest and Jason's memory. He closed his eyes and tried to keep it there but it was gone.
