Piper's POV
Sally glanced back a the infirmary to make sure nobody was listening, "Percy claimed that he saw Annabeth."

That caught my attention, "What? Annabeth is dead."

She nodded, "But is it possible that she's still alive?"

I thought about it for a moment. I personally watched the wave of dirt sallow up Annabeth. If she was alive Nico would've told us, right? I made my decision and shook my head.

"It's not possible Percy must've been dreaming." I said.

Sally frowned, "Thank you dear."

I smiled, "Anything for you Ms. Jackson."

She nodded and went back into the infirmary. Skye walked out of the door and saw me standing there. She frowned and leaned against the wall.

"What was that all about?" She asked glancing at Sally.

I shook my head, "Just a motherly talk about Percy."

I nodded, "You know how to fight?"

I smiled, "Not as well as Percy but I have my tricks."

"What kind of weapon?" She asked.

I glanced at my belt where Katoptris was strapped, "A knife and a cornucopia."

She laughed, "Oh, sweet. I see you and Percy are pretty close."

I let out a small laugh, "Ya we've been through lots together."

Jason came running into the room and turned to me, "Get Percy there's something big out side. It doesn't look Greek either."

"What?" I asked.

"Just get Percy! Now!" He ran back out.

I ran into the infirmary and shook Percy violently, "Percy get up there's a monster outside."

He jolt awake, "Did you say monster?"

I nodded and shoved him out of bed, "I hope you have Riptide."

He pulled it out and it grew into a sword we dashed out of the infirmary and onto the lawn. There was a man/monster that stood a good 7 feet in the air. He held a battle ax in his hand. He watched Percy and Jason carefully.

"Pipes have you seen this one before?" Jason asked, circling the monster.

"In fact I have. If I recall right it's from Asgard. His mistress is a witch named, Enchantress. His names is Executioner." I said.

"What does an Asgardien want with us?" Percy asked.

I shrugged, "Lets find out."

Right on cue we all charged. I pulled Katoptris out of it sheath and leapt through the air and landed on its back. After the few incidents with giants I got used to the fact that Katoptris was not just a magic looking glass. I dug it deep into its back.

It turned and I flew off. I landed right on my tail bone. I hissed stood back up, anger flaring. Percy was dancing around the monster taunting it. The ax man didn't take any notice of it. I heard voices behind me. I glanced around my shoulder to see the team (with exception of Trip and Simmons).

"Get back." I called and yanked out my cornucopia.

"What are you going to do with that?" Skye called.

I glanced at it then turned to Percy, "Not sure."

I tipped the cornucopia over and meats and potatoes fell out. I scooped the up and launched them at the Executioner. He growled and turned to face me. He held up his battle ax. I took in a sharp breath.

"I didn't think that through." I backed away.

I heard a roar of a battle cry and I caught a glimpse of Jason jumping into Executioner's back. I slammed his sword into his back. He roar and stumbled towards Percy. He slapped Riptide to Executioner's knee and he howled and fell to the ground.

I stepped up, "Executioner you are getting sleepy." I commanded.

He wavered and his eyelids grew heavy. Suddenly a ring of green surrounded him. It went up and down his body and a light flashed. I covered my eyes and turned back after the light faded. Where Executioner had laid was now just a flattened area of grass.

I glanced at Percy. He was glaring at the grass like it was a foreign evil enemy. Jason was watching Percy carefully. Percy just stared at the grass.

"Percy if you stare at that grass any harder you'll burn a hole in it." I said.

He snapped out of it, "Sorry I was just day dreaming." He muttered.

Skye walked up to us and looked between all of us and glanced at the pile of food, "Thats a new one."

"Ya. Percy I think we have to lift off the ground." I said.

He looked up at me and gulped, "You mean. . ." He pointed to the plane.

I nodded, "You'll be fine. Hey we even have Jason."

Jason nodded, "You even have me."

Percy nodded, "Fine but if we all die don't blame me." He looked at Skye.

She nodded, "Okay. May how fast can you get us up?" She said glancing over her shoulder.

I turned around to see her reaction. She pursed her lips and headed back into the plane. Skye smirked and nudged me.

"She doesn't like to be told what to do." She muttered then to the rest of the group she added, "You may want to get inside." We all scurried inside.

Percy laid down in his bunk, "Wake me when it over." He face planted in his pillow and pretended to snore.
