The Mark of Athena

Chapter 6

Okay Piper will devote herself to Jason because she realizes it is wrong to love Percy and because of what Jason does in this chapter. No more love triangles for percabeth. I’m not sure if its Hazel+Leo or Hazel+Frank, y’all have to help me with this decision so please tell me what you want. I’m leaning towards Leo but then I have no idea what will happen with Frank (awkward much?) Percy becomes his self in this chapter even though Jason’s thinking. Let me know what you think and enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don’t own this and never will, period.

Jason

                Jason was tired. The party was amazing. The Greeks sure knew how to party. Percy was having a blast cracking jokes with everyone. Jason apologized to Percy for being a jerk but he couldn’t but still be a little jealous. Camp Jupiter seemed to love him as much as the Greeks. Octavian cornered Jason just as they were about to leave, the words still played in his head. “Praetor Percy is a much greater hero than you’ll ever be. He saved the camp more than you in less than a week than you did in twelve years. You are nothing compared to him. That’s why Gaea plans to use him instead of you.”

 The twerp couldn’t go on because Jason punched him in the jaw. He tried not to think of it but it still came back when Percy was sharing inside jokes with Dakota, Bobby, and the rest of the legion. Also, after Percy and Reyna’s “talk”, she seemed to want to kill the guy or kiss him. Jason loved Piper after all because it didn’t faze him as much as he thought it would. He had a long day and was on his way to his cabin when he heard shouting from Cabin 3; it was Poseidon’s.

Jason didn’t want to eavesdrop but Percy was very angry and he thought he heard Chiron. Jason knew this had to be their argument that was about to erupt on the beach so he had no choice but to listen.

“What’s wrong is that you betrayed us! Jason was accepted but he isn’t on Greek terms. He can’t fight like us much less speak our language. You on the other hand knew Latin as if it is your second language! It clicked in your head while it shouldn’t have, then you learned the Roman’s fighting skills. And lastly, the greatest insult of them all, you were branded with an SPQR tattoo symbolizing your honor to the twelfth legion of Rome. You were put into a cohort and made praetor, a much respected position Percy!” Chiron yelled with such seriousness and anger that Jason was surprised.

 Since when did he ever yell like that? He waited to hear Percy’s answer eager for more.

“What is wrong with that? I thought the whole point of Hera's exchange was to gain respect of the other camp. And if you haven’t noticed, the Roman’s are much harder to please than anyone I’ve ever met! I’m Greek I know that. If I make it out alive then Jason will go back to Camp Jupiter and me back here.” Percy screamed.

“I’m not so sure and neither are you. I can hear it in your voice; you are torn between the two camps. You still have to go to regular school and during the summer you can only choose one so I recommend that happens fast. You’re loyalties are torn, and remember your fatal flaw is loyalty and it will come back to bite you hard” Chiron warned.

“I don’t need you reminding me! I know what my stupid fatal flaw is. And I know it will bite me in the butt, I don’t need you and the gods telling me this every freaking time I see you! I looked up to you more than anyone else in my life. You’ve trained Achilles for gods’ sake and helped me throughout all this.” Percy shouted. His face was red and so were his eyes. He started to glow as he did in New Rome. The ground shook creating a mini earthquake/hurricane around Percy.

Jason was in awe once again. Percy calmed down and lifted his hand as if it was nothing to fill the cracks of the earthquake with new earth. Chiron was scared. Like super scared of Percy. The guy finally realized what he did after ten minutes of stony silence. His eyes were wide in fear. He ran out as fast as lightning passing all his friends including Annabeth, he even surrounded himself in a small hurricane again to make sure no one followed. He went into the woods disappearing.
