The Fallen Heroes

Jason Grace

~~~Flashback to Jason's turning~~~

     It was two weeks after Percy turned dark. He'd just disappeared that same morning, muttering something about vengeance for Nico.

     Jason was lying in his bed, staring at the ceiling, when he heard a small knock on the door, followed by a familiar girly voice.

    "Jason? Can I come in? I need to talk to you." Piper called from outside, nervous as Elysium. She had to tell Jason the devastating news, about a breakup, because she didn't feel the love she used to feel, during the war.

    "Yeah sure Pipes. Come on in." Jason grinned, unaware of the heartache about to happen. He turned his head just as the shorter Cherokee teen shuffled in, wondering why she looked so nervous.

    "Um Jason...I think we need to breakup-" Piper was interrupted by Jason slamming his feet on the floor.

    "Breakup? Did you say you're breaking up with me? Sorry I didn't quite hear what you said." Jason lied, hoping what he heard wasn't true. He felt angry, and sad because he didn't know why she wanted to breakup now, after all they'd been through.

    "No, you heard right..I just don't feel the same way I used to before the war...I feel like we're drifting apart. This is for the best, I hope you'd forgive me Jason. We can still be friends..." Piper stepped back in fear, seeing his eyes flicker to gold, sparks flying.

   "After all we've been through? You'd willingly throw that away?!?" Jason exclaimed, clenching his hands into fists, tears blurring his vision.

    "Jason I'm sorry! I don't want to do this either, but we have no choice. I can't keep pretending that we'll get through this. See you later Jason." Piper cried, running out of the cabin in fear.

    As Jason watched her slam the door to his cabin close, he felt himself changing, shielding his eyes when he saw a gold flash cover the room. He reopened them to find that his eyes were a really dark blue, almost as blue as the sky during a hurricane.

   His normal preppy clothes, now stained in blood, and covered in scratches and holes. Jason turned to the door, just as Nico ran into the cabin, to tell him that it was time to eat, smirking when he heard Nico scream.

   Jason creeped over to Nico, laughing evilly as the young Italian boy backed up with each step. He finally backed Nico up to the wall, pinning his arms to his sides.

    "Jason please...please don't hurt m-me.." Nico pleaded, tears forming in his eyes, struggling to be freed.

   "Oh I won't hurt you, at least not physically. Just emotionally and mentally." Jason laughed loudly, pressing his dark lips onto Nico's.

   Nico's eyes widened, trying to push Jason away. "L-Let me go Jason." He whispered against his lips, feeling lightheaded. Nico suddenly felt a surge of pain, collapsing to the floor, in an unconscious mess.

    Jason's laugh was the last thing any camper heard, disappearing that same morning.
            ~~~End of flashback~~~

    Nico sat in his cabin, trembling in Leo's arms, shaken up by what happened earlier. "What's happening to us Leo?" He sobbed, breaking down in Leo's strong arms.
