Book Cult (New and Improved)

Jason LV

A/N: I just want to clear up a couple things for everyone!
1. Due to plot reasons, I will not bring any more characters from the future. Leo will be the only character from the future.
2. I'm not planning on doing BoO or SoN (due to plot). I'm going to be doing MoA and HoH.
3. Leo's from the timeline in between HoH and BoO.

"Jason LV," Demeter read.

Jason waited alone in Cabin One.

Annabeth and Rachel were due any minute for the head counselors' meeting, and Jason needed time to think.

His dreams the night before had been worse than he'd wanted to share—even with Piper. His memory was still foggy, but bits and pieces were coming back. The night Lupa had tested him at the Wolf House, to decide if he would be a pup or food. Then the long trip south to ... he couldn't remember, but he had flashes of his old life. The day he'd gotten his tattoo.

Thalia winced.

...His friends' faces: Dakota, Gwendolyn, Hazel, 

Leo smiled at the mention of Hazel.

I wonder how she's doing? he wondered. Will she be in the same spot I left her? Or will we end up somewhere else? What'll happen to me when I go back to the future?

The son of Hephaestus thoughtfully frowned.

Nico went paler than usual as Demeter said Hazel's name. 

Don't mention me next. Don't mention me next. he silently pleaded. The son of Hades nervously looked around the room.

Bobby. And Reyna. 

Nico silently sighed with relief.

Definitely there'd been a girl named Reyna. 

Some of the members of Cabin Ten frowned at that.

"What's that supposed to mean?" a girl asked, narrowing her eyes.

He wasn't sure what she'd meant to him, but the memory made him question what he felt about Piper—and wonder if he was doing something wrong. The problem was, he liked Piper a lot.

Cabin Ten (except Drew) dramatically gasped.

"That's why he didn't kiss her!" one of the sisters said in an accusatory tone. "He's with someone else!" 

More gasps.

Lacy looked ready to faint. 

"Now. Now." Aphrodite said, trying to defuse the situation. "We don't know the full story yet, let's not get carried away." But inside, she was nervous. Jason, if you need to make a decision, you better make it quick.

Jason moved his stuff to the corner alcove where his sister had once slept. He put Thalia's photograph back on the wall so he didn't feel alone.

"I'll be there soon, Jason." Thalia promised.

He stared up at the frowning statue of Zeus, mighty and proud, but the statue didn't scare him anymore. It just made him feel sad.

"I know you can hear me," Jason said to the statue.

The statue said nothing...

"I wish I could talk with you in person," Jason continued, "but I understand you can't do that. The Roman gods don't like to interact with mortals so much, and—well, you're the king. You've got to set an example."
