Takes place before the Seven and Coach Hedge go to Greece,Italy, that kind of places. So currently, Jason and everyone else is snug in Camp Half-Blood. Percy's at Camp Jupiter. I hope the setting makes sense.
Disclaimer is that I don't own the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series. Rick Riordan does.
Sorry, coming back to this after a while. Anyway, onwards!
The campfire was 5 feet, and it was a murky golden color. I could tell people were still thinking about this...Percy Jackson, was it? Oh, of course, it was hard not to know the name. This 'Percy' was the topic of conversation 85% of the time. Annabeth was as depressing as always.
I tried not to be too bitter, but there was nearly no one she could talk to. Leo was stuck in the forge, always working on the Argo ||. Jason- I still don't quite know where we stand, are we dating?- was an option, but he didn't have much to talk about, even when he told her he got his memories back. He says he remembers a girl named...Raina, was it? No..Reyna..
Anyway, getting off track here. At the campfire, the Apollo Cabin led the Camp in camp songs. They currently led one where their grandma was dressing for war- don't ask me what that was about. Jason was on my right, and I was sitting at the end of the log. Since Thalia, Jason's full blooded sister, is with the Hunters of Artemis, Jason decided to sit with me. And along with that, the Aphrodite Cabin, probably the most flirty cabin- Apollo's a close second.
So with all of that joy, that meant I got to listen to bad songs, as as my siblings trying to flirt with my boyfriend, and try not to look so sad. It was harder then it should be.
Honestly, though-Drew was starting to get on my nerves.
"Okay everyone, time to go back to your cabins! Remember, don't stay out late, or it might be too late as the harpies find you. Goodnight!" Chiron announced. It was past sunset. But...I still didn't realize it was this late.
"'Night, Pipes." Jason said to me, smiling. His scar on his lip moved as he smiled.
"'Night, Sparky." I say back. I kiss his cheek, then turn back as the whole camp trudges back to their respective cabins.

When I arrived at the Dining Pavilion, I remember something. We were leaving in exactly two days. I worried. Would the Romans shoot them down? Will there be monsters on the way? I snorted....of course there would. I got some pancakes and berries. I walked up to the fire and sacrifice some of the juiciest berries and did a quick prayer to my mother, Aphrodite:
"Please let this be over quick". I knew it was useless, as the gods were in lockdown and I don't think this will be over too soon.
I sat down at my table and ate my food.

Katoptris in hand, I practiced my lines for when we arrived- we were almost to Camp Jupiter, and I could feel the tension in the air. 1 More Hour! Leo had shouted over the intercom.
"Lower your weapons. We just want to talk." I murmured, charmspeak flowing over my words, goading the person to listen.
Suddenly, the alarm bells went off. The Argo || shook. In front of us (Well, minus Leo. He was still in the control room.) stood 3 empousai, and they looked ready to feed.
Sorry for the delay with the chapter, and that it isn't so great. I'll try to make a longer one ASAP. Bye! :)
