Jason pulled her underwater, continuing the kiss, then broke it up. He held her, still.

Tara held on to Jason's arm. The lake was deeper than she could stand in.

"Are you alright?" Jason was concerned for her.

"I can't stand up."

"Do you need help?"

"Yes."

Jason picked her up and put her on his shoulders. "I thought you said you could swim?"

Tara ran her hands through his hair. "I can. It's just really really deep."

"Then why don't you swim?" he joked. "Honestly, Tina, you're such a nerd." He laughed and began to swim around her with her on his shoulders.

Tara shifted. "Your hair is really soft."

"It's wet, of course it's soft. Nah, but I use a special shampoo." Jason continued to swim around.

"Were are you going?"

"I'm just relaxing. This is probably one of the most peaceful places in camp."

"Okay then."

Suddenly, a rock was thrown out of nowhere, a very self-sharpened rock. It hit Jason's neck, and he started bleeding wildly. Jason suddenly couldn't see anything. A pool of red water surrounded them. He sunk to the bottom, still holding onto Tara with his massive arms. A few JFGs went to the bottom and got Jason, swimming to the surface. A few others attempted to keep Tara underwater. They wouldn't kill her, just make her pass out. With how dumb they were, though, they didn't know that you could quickly die of drowning.

Tara flipped out trying to get Jason back on the surface. Tara coughed and flared trying to stay up herself. The JFG were pushing her down and splashing water everywhere. Tara bit an arm pushing on her. "JASON."

Jason was out, bleeding. They put bandages on him, gave him nectar and ambrosia, and kept looking at Tara, laughing at they kissed him, felt his abs, and his muscles. Suddenly, a fireball came out of no where (purposely missing the JFGs). All of them screamed, even the ones underwater, and ran and left. Nick dived into the water. He wasn't best swimmer, but if he could just reach Tara- he grabbed a stick and held it out to her.

Tara grabbed the stick and swam to the shore. Soon her coughing turned into vomit. "Get Jason," she croaked between gags.

Nick woke Jason up.

Jason woke up, head hurting. "Ahh, what- TARA!" He ran over. He didn't know what to do.. He rubbed her back and gently picked her up. He threw a towel around them. "Take my body heat. Nick, get the bag: forgot the chair. Hold the bag behind me so she can throw-up in it as we're walking."

Nick did so and they started walking.

Tara wiped her mouth, "Jason you lost a lot of blood."

"I know, but if I pass out, I want you to be safe."

"Jason. Te most I have is water in my lungs. You lost a lot if blood. Sit down."

"I don't need it."

"Jason. I've thrown up. I'm done. Your back is dripping in blood from your neck."

"Tara, I'm going to take you to the Hecate cabin-"
