Chapter 20:even my traumas have Trauma...

When Jason opened his eyes, a cold rushing river was about to drown them all. The fall had taken so long that he had fallen asleep or been knocked unconscious by the feeling.

A scream was torn from his throat just as the cold water hit him in a shock.

Air. He needed air.

His lungs were burning , his legs ached , his eyes burned. Seriously for a kid of Poseidon he really needed to learn how to swim better.

When his head broke the surface the first thing that reached his ears were screams.

"ITS SO FREAKING COLD OH MY GODS!" Charlie's shivering scream was the first he heard. Bianca's voice was gone but as the water cleared from his eyes he could see she was struggling to stay up. Her arms beat furiously at the water and multiple times her head went under.

"Ed!!!" Jason called out for the son of Hephaestus. No response. "ED!!! Come on dude! I need some help!"

Lucius's head broke water hanging on tightly to a limp body. "I got him!!" He called out.

Jason looked wildly for shore, finally a few hundred meters away was a sandy beach.

"Everyone swim to me! I'm going to try and get us all to shore!"

Trying desperately to see in front of him and wiping his hair out of his eyes Jason tried to will the water to obey but per the usual it decided not to.

In fact something from the darkness began to pull at his legs. Chest constricted, lungs gasping for air jason swung blindly at a monster he couldn't see.

Something was pulling at him, all his eyes saw was a flash of silver and then just black water.

A sinister watery voice whispered in his ear "justtt give up.... Son of percy jackson, just drown.... It will be quick and painless..."

"NO!" his voice came out loudly and strongly in the water and even those still struggling at the surface.

Willow, Lucky, Bianca and charlie all had made it to shore and were dragging those who were still living with them.

Edmund lay motionless on the shore while Willow and bianca tried desperately to make him breathe.

"Come on, come on breath." Willow cried out trying her best at CPR.

"Is it gonna be gay if i try?" a son of apollo asked his sister.

Willow stared hard at him until he backed away to help one of the children of hermes who had escaped unscathed.

"I wish invoking your dads name would just scare all monsters away from us..." Lucius shivered in the cold as willow continued to try desperately to revive Edmund.

"Please no, no no no come on!" she yelled, hitting him so hard on the chest it was as if it kick started his heart.

Bianca covered her face with her hands, crying hard as Edmund began to breathe again..

He was able to sit up in a few moments while Jason still thrashed in the water wrestling with whatever it was.

"Did nobody else notice that jackson may need some help???!!" charlie yelled racing towards the water, her sword raised.

Jason was startled to hear her say his last name instead, but something tugged at his memory, must be mother like daughter.

Honestly whatever he was fighting had tired him out too much to really care much.
