Here you go guys. Sorry for late update. But my final exams are approaching so it is gonna be difficult to update for some time. This chapter's a bit serious, but I needed to show Jason's trauma.
Me: Disclaimer time! Jason?
Jason: Do you really like to be electrocuted?
Me: Love it.
Jason: Fine! You asked for it.
(Calls lightening and it falls on me but nothing happens)
Me: Hm... maybe you didn't do it right. Try again. With full force this time.
(Tries again but still no harm done)
Jason: (exhausted, sprawls on the floor) How did you do it?
Me: The disclaimer first.
Jason: mysteriouslives do not own anything. Ask Rick Riordian. He does.
Me: Thankyou. Now check out my new rubber slippers. Got it today only. Nice right?
Jason: This is your secret weapon?
Me: Well it surely saved me from your lightening.
(Jason faints)
Jason's POV
"What are you two upto?" Octavian asked as Reyna and I reached our camp next door.
"Who are you? Our mom?" I sneered. "We are the praetors of this camp. We can do whatever we want."
"I wonder what the senates have to stay about that," Octavian said.
"Shove off Octavian," Reyna said.
"You too Reyna? I thought you knew better than going into that freak camp!" he said.
"We didn't go there to make friends. We went their for some work," she said.
"Which is?" Octavian said.
"None of you business," I shouted and a bolt of lightening threw Octavian a few feet away, sprawled on the floor, his clothes singed.
"You don't understand, do you?" Octavian said, getting up. "You still believe that those Greeks are your friends? Or maybe its that pretty little girlfriend of yours? What was her name? Pipey?"
"Piper," I corrected, before I could stop myself.
"See? You just can't forget her. I can't blame you. She's pretty, isn't she? The Aphrodite's daughter has got you right where she wants you. Worshipping at her altar."
I caught hold of Octavian's neck and screamed, "I hate her! She's nothing to me! Nothing. She might be pretty from outside but I know what lays under that. A black writhing cobra who poisoned my whole life. I could never love her."
"Jason!" Reyna said, panicked and shoved me off Octavian. He backed away from me, gasping for breath. I looked down at my hands, shocked.
"I- I'm sorry," I said and ran away from there. I reached my cabin and locked the door. I was still angry and knocked down all the things in my cabin. For the first time I was happy that no one was there to see me. How could she! After I gave her all! But... no... She saved me once. I owe her. But I never want to see her again. Octavian is right. I should've never gone. She seemed happy enough with her friends. Especially with that Percy. She befriended him purposely...
They were right... Piper just loves to be in power. And Percy is the most powerful guy in that Camp. And probably they are very close... No! I don't care. I will never go to that camp again.
Someone knocked on my door. I went and opened the door. It was Hazel and Frank.
"What?" I croaked. I didn't mean to be rude but I was really pissed.
"Reyna told us what happened. Are you okay?" Frank asked.
"What do you think?" I snapped. Frank flinched.
"There's a Senate meeting right now," Hazel said tentatively.
"What? And I thought Octavian had learnt a lesson this time," I said.
"It's not about that," Frank said. "There's this invitation to this Christmas Feast... from Camp Half-blood."
"No way!" I said.
"Well... we don't have much choice," Hazel said. "There's a prophecy involved."
