Jason's POV

I couldn't breath, I think it was because I had a stupid dagger in my stomach. My vision is blurry and I felt like I would collapse. I couldn't let myself though, I couldn't let Kronos know he knocked me down. I wouldn't give him that satisfaction. Kronos twisted the dagger and I felt tears start to pool in my eyes, streaming down my face like a waterfall. I looked over and saw Percy has stopped, far away. He stood in fear, I couldn't tell if he was crying or not, but I could see the way his shoulders shook.

He pulled the blade out slowly and painfully, and I finally couldn't hold it in anymore, I screamed. I don't regret t though, if I could help Percy, I would do it a thousand more times.

"No!" I heard little Percy scream, but Kronos wasn't fazed by it, he knew Percy couldn't do anything.

    "I am only the first round, this will be the hardest war you have ever fought. If you can't beat me, you will never succeed in this war." Kronos said, flashing away with his army. I collapsed, and I fought to keep my eyes open, but the sight in front of me was marvellous, Percy was standing there, not little Percy thought, older Percy, my Percy. He seemed to be fighting for control. He grabbed my hand and put it to his face, shaking his head with a stupid grin. He dropped my hand and he was little again.

"Jason!" Will shouted and came over with other Apollo kids with a stretcher. I let my eyes close.

Normal Percy's POV

I hated being weak. I hated the memories I was forced to remember because of my younger self. It was shocking that Kronos was back though, I remember the first quest, how he had manipulated Ares into working with him. Kronos is a manipulative bastard.

    My younger selves eyes were glued on Jason, who seemed to be stuck. Kronos was basically hugging Jason, with a sword to his throat, making it impossible for Jason to move without messing up. When Kronos was talking, I noticed how he lowered his sword, he was underestimating me, again. Younger me also seemed to notice this advantage, so he powered up, stuffed his nerves down, and kicked Kronos hard where it hurts.

     "You fool!" Kronos grunted, after he successfully let younger me get away. I watched as Jason scrambled away, and I noticed how he stared at me in admiration, but it was to late, Jason was stabbed by Kronos' dagger, Jason's mouth opened slightly in shock, and his face was contorted in pain, but full of determination. Kronos started to twist the blade and moved it around inside his stomach, and Jason screamed. It was a horrible thing to watch.

Once Kronos left, little me ran to Jason, but then suddenly, I was me again. I didn't want to marvel over it, I just wanted to make sure he was ok. I looked at him, his eyes were foggy and he was bleeding quickly. When he brought his eyes over to me, his eyes cleared suddenly, and he seemed wide awake and fine. The thought almost made me cry. I grabbed onto his hand, knowing this would be the only time I would be allowed to get away with it. He might dwell on it, he might not. He brought his knuckles up to my face, and rested my forehead head it. I wouldn't dare kiss his hand, it would be the first thing he would ask about. The spell finally took over again and I was shoved back into younger me's head.

I couldn't let myself over think this. While I was in here, I came to a realization, I didn't truly love Annabeth. My mind was always elsewhere, never paying attention to her. No, my focus was always on Jason, I notice so much about him, but with Annabeth, I only ever noticed the most obvious things, her obsessions, her flaws, things like that. But with Jason, I noticed how he bounces his foot when he is nervous and when someone puts him on the spot, he looks anywhere but someone's eyes and the ground. I always thought 'that's cute.' But I never thought I liked him. No, I never liked him, I loved him, love, present tense.

     Jason fell asleep and was taken away, and suddenly the vision was blurry, probably because younger me was crying. I was worried about Jason. Maybe if things were normal this would have never happened.
