Jason's POV
Bobby was walking up to me and he looked like he needed to tell me something. "Hey Jason I have to tell you something. It's about Reyna." My heart skipped a beat at the mention of her name. I hide the rush of excitement though and asked him, 'so what is it?" "What do you think man it's Octavian" he began. At the sound of his name I clenched my fists; I slowly unclenched them before Bobby could notice. "What about him?"
"He stole Reyna's dagger and it's rumored that he's going to ask her to the dance." Now he sounded like a teenage girl at a slumber party. "So what you are saying is I should ask her to the dance?"
"Well, yes I am or at least make her fall for you" he said leaning forward and pointing a finger at my chest. "Good point, but that would be hard."
"Your so blind Jason! She has already fell for you, so what I'm saying is get her a new dagger and make it snappy" with that said he ran off to do his rather unimportant business. I sighed and then found some truth to his words. As realization hit me I ran to the Vulcan armory to place an order for a dagger. After I had rushed in and nearly got my hand sliced off I started to pace back and forth in front of the building.
When I got the specially made dagger from them I raced to the praetors office where Reyna spent most of her afternoons.
Reyna's POV 5 minutes earlier
I was in the praetor's office rocking back and forth in the desk chair. The window was open and a light breeze was drifting through. I had this feeling as well. Something that had been with me since I woke up but I couldn't put my finger on it. It was driving me crazy and if I didn't figure it out I would have to get it out with my, never mind I don't have a dagger anymore. Octavian took it to kill a teddy bear. Curse you Octavian!
A knock sounded from outside on the door. I shot my hand up and put the picture face down on the desk. "Come in." Jason ran into the small office out of breath. I sighed "Jason what is it this time?" He was doubled over and gasping for breath. "Reyna I have something for you" he said between gasps of air. "What is it Jason" I said exasperated. "A present?" I eyed him with my eyebrows raised.
"For you Reyna" he said and pulled his hand out from behind his back. He placed a dagger on the desk. It was Imperial gold and it had a wooded handle. It wasn't expensive but it was well made. It looked made from a child of Vulcan. "Why Jason?" Grateful for his gift yet something was fishy. "Well I heard that Octavian took your dagger so I got you a new one."
He looked into my eyes well he talked but I had an uneasy feeling well he said that. now his eyes were looking around the room searching and his feet shifted uncomfortably. "Is that all Jason?" I questioned. "Yes, well I have to go somewhere so I'll see you around Reyna" with that said he bolted for the door. It slammed closed and bounced back. I chuckled and went to close it.
The feeling that I was having had disappeared when Jason came in but now that he was gone the feeling was back. I sighed as I sat down and flipped the picture frame back up. I started to tap me fingers on the wooded desk making a drumming noise. My eyes drifted to a black framed photo. It was a picture of Jason; with his head held back laughing. The sun streamed down on his face reflecting on his golden hair. His blue eyes were full of life and, love. Yes I Reyna praetor of camp Jupiter was in love with Jason Grace.
And that's when the world started to fall apart.
