I'm very very sorry for being late :(
I was obssessed in something else and was also studying for a very important test.
And a reply to a review.
squirrelLOVA : Honestly I prefer Reyna more than Piper. Because Reyna just seems... more human than Piper and the kind of personality I like.
However I do not hate Piper. I do think the story would be more fun with her around. Really I don't have any right to hate any of the PJO characters. Because it's Rick Riordan that makes their personality.
In conclusion. I don't hate Piper or like Piper.
P.S As much as I would like. I don't own PJO :(
Hazel
Hazel wandered away from the lake, wondering whether she had said the right thing.
No she didn't hate Piper, and never had hated Piper.
However she meant all that she said.
Honestly Piper hadn't had a very hard life compared to other demigods. Other demigods overcame their lives very easily. However Piper seemed to think she was a human.
She had to learn that she was a demigod and that her life was different from normal people.
Since she was a demigod. Even if she didn't want to be she had to realize her advantages and learn how to use them for the good.
Another thought popped into her mind. Leo Valdez, Sammy Valdez.
She was sure.
Sammy was Leo's great great grandfather or something like that. Either way they were related.
She knew she shouldn't live in the fantasy world and think that Leo was Sammy.
But having the weird life even between demigods. She sometimes couldn't come back into the present.
Hazel sighed and looked up into the sky.
Was it her imagination or could she a familiar face?
'Mother.' she whispered softly 'Please, if you are watching. Help me.'
Jason
The conversation with Reyna disturbed Jason greatly.
Even though he tried to be cheerful he couldn't forget her words.
Flashback
"Reyna.. Let's not be like this." Reyna looked at him her eyes blazing with anger.
"Why wouldn't I not know you Jason? I've known you for over 8 years. I know how you are."
"..."
"You try so hard for something for a short while. However when you are very close to achieving your target, you give up. Just like that. That is your fatal flaw."
"... Reyna, please."
"And that target is gone. Disappeared. You never stick on to one thing."
"..."
"Is that why you dumped us and went to the Greeks? Tell me Jason. Because I'm very curious."
"Reyna..."
Reyna sighed suddenly and looked up with regretful eyes. "I don't want to be like this either."
"Yeah s-"
"I wish we were humans. Then we could have just been two teenagers having a normal love. But being the demigods we are. I think you and I would have to end at simply friends."
"..."
"I'm sorry Jason I... I well... I just think we aren't right for each other... You... You should be with Piper. You and me. We aren't balanced properly."
"What do you mean Reyna! I-" Reyna cut off his words again.
"... Let's not be confused Jason. Let's just be the way we were before. Comfortable around each other. Just fellow praetors." She shook her head "I don't think we could develop our relationship more. I'll be going Jason. Need to speak to Percy, see ya."
end of flashback
The angry words kept going around his head. Stinging him over and over again.
He slumped down on his bed.
Why was his relationship with Reyna so... uncomfortable? Why couldn't they just be happy...? Just a normal couple like he wished they could be.
A knock interrupted him from his thought.
"Come in."
The door opened and Thalia came in, carefully closing the door behind her.
"Jason?"
"Uh... Yes Thalia why?"
"Reyna and Percy called a meeting." Jason suddenly felt a little angry.
"Why is Percy calling a meeting?"
"... What?"
"I am praetor." Jason straightened up. "Reyna should be calling me first to announce why we are calling a meeting."
"Jason, don't be unreasonable. Come on you aren't like that."
"Make sure these things don't happen again." After he stalked out of his cabin, he regretted what he said immediately.
Thalia was right. Why was he being so unreasonable? Normally he wouldn't care and just grin stupidly.
I'm just sensitive now. It will be alright once I apologize to Thalia and Percy.
He thought to himself and walked into the meeting place.
Jason felt a little better when he saw the praetor place next to Reyna was empty he proudly sat next to her just like he had before.
Reyna nodded at him but still wouldn't meet his eyes properly. Feeling awkward Jason tried to look straight ahead of him.
Reyna coughed and started.
"Firstly, we have decided to replace the praetor place with Jason Grace again. Although we are friends, we have to accept the difference. Percy is a Greek, Jason is a Roman. This is the place Jason should be."
There were murmurs of agreements.
"Are there any news about the quest of saving Nico di Angelo?" A dark haired girl piped up.
"Yes there are Leah. The quest has been postponed due to Piper McLean's injury. We will leave directly after Piper recovers. Today we are here to decide who will replace the praetors while we are gone."
"I recommend Gwendolyn!" Katherine said calmly.
"Dakota is well experienced." Another boy said.
Reyna nodded taking in all the recommendations.
"We will vote and the two people with the most votes would replace me and Jason. I would like you to choose carefully. A good leader makes a good camp. That is how much important the praetor is."
Everyone nodded.
"The vote would start then. Please put up your hand for who you think would be the best praetor." Jason said.
I'm thinking whether I would submit a OC.
So I would like you guys to submit OCs. However just because your OC is chosen, it wouldn't have a major act.
I am going to use the characters RR used for the main characters so please consider that.
