Percy Jackson's Twin Sister

Shut Up

It's been two days at sea from Split. The grey clouds swallowed the skies and the waves had turned choppy.

"It's the scepter," Nico murmured, "It has to be."

"We can't talk up here. Let's postpone the meeting," Jason says looking around.

We'd all gathered on the quarterdeck to discuss strategy as we got closer to Epirus.

Wind swept frost across the deck. The sea churned beneath the ship. The ocean was usually restless but the scepter had that affect.

I felt bad for hazel though. Her face was green and she hung her head over the edge.

"I need to-" she starts but ends up throwing up instead.

"Yeah, go," Nico kisses her cheek.

Even with the scepter making people edgy. Nico had been in a great mood.

Frank helps hazel below deck. I hoped she would be ok. The three of us girls had had good talks.

Hazel talked about the mist and I talked about Percy and Travis. Piper talked about Jason and feeling distant from him after camp Jupiter. We complained about the boys gross habits and shed some tears about Annabeth and Percy.

I loved it. I missed talking with Annabeth about my problems but this felt good. Until now I hadn't truly bonded with them until now.

Nico brushes some ice out of his hair. He frowns at the scepter of Diocletian, "I should put this thing away. If it's really causing the weather, maybe taking it below will help..."

"Sure," Jason says.

Jason's been a little awkward after finding out Nico's news.

Nico glances at Leo and Piper. Nico defense seems to go up, like he was curling into a psychological ball.

Once he headed below deck I flip my head to Jason waiting for him to crack. Everyone knows something happened with him and Nico and Croatia but no one knows I know.

"So much for a team meeting," Leo says.

Jason still radiated nervous energy. If I could I would go over and flick him on the head. I shoot him a look that says: say one word and I will kill you.

"I guess I should go and push the ship," I say, "Leo how long until the ship is ready to sail on its own again?"

"Maybe a day," he says.

"Good. I don't how much more of this I can take. The farther along we get, the more the water refuses to listen," I say.

"I didn't think.... Well that it could do that," Piper says.

"You'd think. But the idea that Greek deities are alive and  having children isn't suppose to be possible either," I say.

Piper shrugs and nods with a smile.

"I guess I should go," I say.

I turn and walk away give Jason one more shut up look before turning the corner. I get to the back of the boat and begin to push.

Idk why I wrote this chapter. I guess I just wanted to strengthen the idea that Jason is unstable and about to break. Thx for reading 🗡🔱💖✨🌊
