Perseus Jackson and the Element Wolves

Chapter 12 - Breakfast and Murder???

I think this song, describes the position Percy's and Michaela's relationship is in.

~Piper's POV~

The next morning at breakfast, we all sat at Percy's table like last night, except Percy hasn't showed up yet.

I wasn't getting worried about him not showing up to breakfast, when it started thirty minutes ago, I wanted to tell him about my dream last night. It happened on Half-Blood Hill, there stood Percy in his Champion of Destruction uniform, and a fat figure wearing all black. I didn't recognize him, he was also holding a tranquilizer gun in his hands. He suddenly fired.

I wanted to scream out to Percy, but I couldn't. I was frozen in place, as well as, horror.

The dart hit Percy's chest, flying right through as Destruction appeared behind him. The dart continued through Destruction to another male figure, who was at least seven feet tall, hitting his stomach.

Then Destruction and the tall male figure disappeared as they fell back.

I looked back at Percy to see the dart in his stomach where it had hit the tall figure. He fell to his knees, his breath coming out in puffs of air, and fell on his left side.

That was when I woke up in fear, silently crying.

Back in the present, we, the seven, Thalia, Nico, and Reyna, are sitting at Percy's table again.

We were debating to go look in his cabin, but turned it down when Annabeth remind us about an ally of his is coming anytime now.

We were just having small talk, when a bright light came from right behind Leo, who was across me.

Michaela stepped out of the light, with her arms crossed over her chest, and emotionless mask on her face.

I was going to tell her about my dream, when a scream pierced the air. I look over at the main entrance of the dining pavilion to see Hero screaming bloody murder.

Once he went passed Percy's table, he stopped. Walked backwards, and knelt in front of Michaela, respectfully saying 'Alpha'. While the guy, who I assume was chasing Hero, came running in. He slowed down, saw Michaela and bowed, coming back up with a respectfully nod and a 'Alpha'.

Michaela was the first to speak, her voice deadly calm. "Hero, how many times do I have to tell you? Stop running around like a headless chicken, screaming like a little girl?"

Hero looked up, almost offended at her last question. With a hand over his heart, still on kneeling, he said. "I do not ran around like a headless chicken, and scream like a little girl."

Michaela rolled her eyes, and looked over at the guy in the black cloak, who had chased Hero. What is with guys and black cloaks???

"Stop treating Hero like that. I will not tell you again." She threatened. He shuddered. Most likely from last time...

"Now," Michaela started looking at me. "Piper." I was startled she mentioned me. "Can you tell me your dream?" She finished softly.

I nodded, then said retold the dream not leaving a single detail. When I finished, she frowned.

"What does that mean? Is Percy's going to die?!?" Annabeth demanded.

Michaela shook her head, still frowning. "No. But he will be close. He might go insane. He might even get trapped in his subconscious." She shrugged helplessly. "I don't know. It's happened before. But not in a situation like this. It's a.... fragile situation."

I might have stopped breathing along with everyone else around. The gods were in a meeting on Olympus, so they don't understand how Percy's life is in danger.

"We can't let that happen. I won't." Annabeth saying defiantly.

Michaela shook her head sadly. "Annabeth, It's going to happen. And, I will do everything in my power to save him. But, I have been in that same situation before. It's....." She trailed off, "Horrible." She finished shaky.

I got up a gave her a hug. She returned it, after a few moments she pulled away with tears on her cheeks. She smiled at me, though it looked sad.

"Percy's talking to a friend right now about your dream. Don't worry. I already know what they are planning. As we speak actually."

She looked around and smiled a bright smile. I felt as if everything would work out...

That chapter was longer than I thought. Well hope you enjoyed. Song was About you now By Miranda Cosgrove.
