Percy Jackson's Twin Sister

Leaving Forever?

Piper was leading for once. She was in charge tell us what to do to fix the ship. We had docked in a small city.

Without Leo we were unable to repair the more complex parts of the ship but we could do enough to get it running again.

Hazel, Frank, and I were at the control's trying to figure out what all of them did. Piper was shouting commands at coach hedge. Nico had sunk into the shadows basically inspecting our work and Jason is just kind of staring off into the distance.

"Try it now!" Coach yells at us.

The three of us pull some of the levers and mess with some of the buttons hoping for something. The pats went crazy, chopping up and down. Coach dodged one but smacked by the other sending him into the bay.

"I got this. Be right back," I say doing a swan dive into the bay.

I swim up next to him and he's still flailing. It takes a minute for him to just let me help him. I use the water to push us back onto deck.

The first thing I hear is Nico yelling: "You're every bodies golden boy!" Nico says to Jason, "The only person who ever understood me was Bianca and maybe Phoebe. And Bianca died and Phoebe to stressed out to worry about anything. And no one seems to notice how she feel either. I didn't choose any of this. My father, my feeling...."

Jason looks dumbfounded. They argue fir a minute longer. I didn't want to get in the middle though.

"I'm going to honor my promise," Nico says, "I'll take you to Epirus. I'll help you close the doors of death. Then that's it. I'm leaving- forever!"

Nico slips back into the shadows. I rush over to Jason.  I take him by the arms and look him in the eyes.

"What did you say to him!" I demand.

"I just wanted to talk about... you know. I just wanted him to know I was there for him. Like you are," Jason says.

His intentions are good but misguided.

"Jason, one you can't pry your way into his life. I tried and I failed. I'm being completely honest. We became friends out of pity for each other and a small hatred for my brother. Two don't treat him any different than how you did before. And three, I've been through way to much with him for you to ever have what I have. You can become friends but the amount of pain we've shared is the only thing keep me and him from growing absolute distant. Just stop trying. I don't know what you said but you might have just screwed up big time. The last time he 'disappeared' he almost brought back his dead sister and made ghost friend who was ready to kill people! I'm not about to lose him because if you!" I yell.

Jason looks at me concerned. He pulls me in and hugs me. It was not the reaction I was expecting.

"Nico's right. Your really stressed out. Want to talk about it?" He asks.

I thought I should be angry at him but there was part of me who wanted to break down. Like how I break down for Percy.

I take a deep breath determined not to though. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.

"Hey, I have go deal with this south wind thing. If you ever need to talk," Jason says.

I push away and walk back to my cabin. I flip down on my bed and do a little silent cry before picking myself up, wiping off my face, and going back out to help.
