Jason POV
Jason had his arm around Piper while the ship was rising into the air. Her hair was now choppy again, but Jason has the feeling that that wouldn't last very long. They both starred off the railing, watching as the campers bellow shrunk. They exchanged a look.
"You nervous?" Piper asked. Jason looked at her again with his electric blue eyes filled with honesty.
"A little." Jason admitted. "It's just…so much has happened. I mean yesterday we had to fight two monsters in one day and both of them aren't even dead!" Jason exclaimed. He realized his mistake a little too late.
"What do you mean both of them?" Piper asked. "That giant's dead…right?" Jason's eyes were filled with regret. He didn't respond. "Right?" Piper demanded. Her eyes began to fill with fear.
"Piper…" Jason started. She cut him off.
"He's not dead…" Piper said to herself. Trying to except the fact. "Why didn't you tell me? Jason I'm your girlfriend! You can tell me anything." Piper pressed. "What would've happened if he gave us an unexpected visit, huh?" Jason struggled to find an answer. "Who else knew?"
"Only Percy." Jason explained. He was trying to stay calm and collected. "Piper I'm sorry." Jason pleaded.
"I need a minute." Piper said coldly. "And I think you do to." She walked away and to her room. Jason watched until she was no longer in sight.
"Damn." Jason sighed. He wanted to chase after Piper and beg for forgiveness, but he knew it would only make her more upset. He walked to his room. He didn't know what else to do. When he reached the door he barged in and slammed it shut. He lied on his bunk and looked at the opposite wall. It look just like his cabin's wall. It contained pictures of Thalia, Piper, and a really cool lightning bolt tattoo he saw in a magazine. He looked at the picture of Thalia; studying it closely. She had the same exact electric blue eyes he had. He sighed. He really wanted to talk to Thalia, then Jason got an idea. He jumped out of his bed and shot out of his room. He ran across the narrow corridor into a room. The room had a small fountain. He remembered how Annabeth told Leo that he had to put in a fountain room for Iris Messages. Jason locked the door and examined the fountain. He dug in his pocket for a coin and finally found one. He flipped it like he would flip his coin, and it landed into the fountain. "Call Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus, Hunter of Artemis." Jason said. After an image appeared of Thalia. It seemed she was at a campfire with all of the other hunters. "Thalia!" Jason called. She turned and when she saw Jason smiled. She stood and walked to her tent. When she was settled in. She turned to Jason.
"Hey, Jason. What's up?" Thalia asked.
"Not much. Piper hating me, sailing to Rome, fulfilling the Great Prophecy…you know the usual." Jason said. Thalia's face hardened. "Are you okay?" He asked. She nodded.
"It's just…Great Prophecies never end well." Thalia said coldly.
"Well, Percy lived the last one. And the world is okay." Jason said. He seemed very sure, but Thalia's face seemed to soften with pain.
"Many other lives were lost, Jason. Many lives." Thalia told him. Jason's face seemed a bit confused.
"But…" Jason started.
"Just drop it!" Thalia exclaimed. Jason went dead silent. There was an awkward tension between them. "Jason, you're my little brother. I've already lost you once; I don't want to lose you again. I love you, Jason." Thalia saw caringly.
"I love you too, Thalia." Jason said. They exchanged a loving look and smiled.
"Jason!" Leo called from the deck. Jason looked at the door than back at Thalia.
"I got to go." Jason said. She nodded acceptingly. "I'll see you later." Jason said optimistically. He thought she said I hope under her breath. When he was leaving the room Thalia spoke once more.
"Jason…promise me one thing. That you will be careful. Please." Thalia pleaded. Jason smiled and nodded.
"I promise." Jason said. He gave one last loving look to Thalia then swiped the air. Where Thalia's image was, was now only clean air. Jason stared at it for a moment, then quietly walked out the door. He ran towards the deck, towards his family.
