The Lost Hero (Jason Grace x OC)

Chapter 7

Lily's POV

Khione leads Piper and Jason out of the room. Zethes goes with them, leaving me and Leo with Calais, or leaving me with them. They are currently talking about hockey among other things, so I am stood against the wall, wondering how I can sense fire. I know as demigods, we get powers or skills from our parents, but never from our mother or father's siblings, so my ability to sense fire must be from my father, but I never met him. I was told that he died shortly after I was born, so I don't know who he is, or if he's immortal or not. And its impossible for me to have two godly parents, I mean whenever two gods have a child together, they become a god or goddess, and I am mortal.

These thoughts swirl through my mind as Leo and Cal talk, staring at me, or I think they are. "Will you stop staring at me please?" I say that not turning around, since with my mother being Artemis, I can sense people looking at me even if I can't see them.

"We're not, what are you talking about?"

"You're not?" I turn around, and sure enough, they are looking at each other, or the wall. "Something's wrong. Where are Jason and Piper, should they be back by now?" Leo looks at me, and the concern in his eyes is clear. Where are they?

Jason's POV

Boreas looks at me and Piper. "You need my help, do you? You heroes never want to just talk, it is always for a quest. I will not help you." We look at each other.

"Thank you for your time. We should be going now." I turn around and Khione is stood there in the doorway, blocking our only hope of escape. "Khione, let them go. And if they are not out of here in three minutes, feel free to freeze them and their friends. Start with the child of the moon."

"It would be my pleasure, Father." She steps out the way, and me and Piper run back to the entrance hall.

Leo's POV

"Lily, are you okay? It's only us three in here." I ask her, but before she answers, "LEO! LILY! WE NEED TO GO NOW!" Jason and Piper run in, out of breath. "He's not going to help us. And we have three minutes, well one and a half now, to get out of here before Khione freezes us all. And she'll start with you, Lily."

"Shit. Leo I told you something's wrong. Turn Festus back into a dragon. NOW! Because I really don't want to become an ice statue any time soon." And 1 minute later, we are flying away, with 5 seconds to spare. "So, where to now?"

"I don't know. Let's just get out of Quebec, and we'll figure it out from there."

Jason's POV

I look at Lily, who is sat in front of me, "Are you okay, Lily? I mean with everything that's happened."

"Yeah, I'm okay. It's just... I don't get it," she turns around in her seat so that she's facing me. "How can I sense fire when I'm the child of Artemis? It just doesn't make sense."

She looks down, and before she does, I see tears slowly forming. I place my finger under her chin and pull her face up. I then gently cup her face with my hands and wipe the tears away. "We'll figure it out. We're in this together. So, I will help you work out how you can sense fire, and then when this quest is over, I'll help you find your brother. Okay?"

She looks into my eyes and smiles softly. "Thank you Jason. What would I do without you?"

I gently pull her in and kiss her cheek. "I'll always be here for you. No matter what."

"I'll do the same for you." We both smile and she turns back around, resting back against my chest. "Get some sleep, I'll wake you up." I gently kiss her forehead and she closes her eyes, sleeping.
