Jason's POV

"Piper, Piper. Please stay with me."

Tears shone in my eyes. Piper had just awoken but she looked like she was going to fall asleep again. And maybe never wake up. I couldn't let that happen so all I could think about was trying to keep her from falling asleep again.

"Hey, its okay. Its okay. You'll be alright." I said to Piper, but I think I was trying to assure myself more.

"J-Jason?"

"Piper, its okay. Y-you'll be alright."

"No J-Jason. W-what if I-I won't be a-alright?" Piper opened her eyes and stared right into mine. I didn't know what to say.

"Piper, I love you. Just try to stay with me, please. Think about the old times. When we defeated Gaea. We always talked about just settling down, living life, safe. Think about that, and hold on to that. Hold on to the future."

She closed her eyes once again and rolled her head to one side. After a minute of silence, I was afraid she had fallen back asleep. Then Will rushed in.

"Hey Piper. Stay with us. Piper?"

"I'm h-here."

Will rushed around searching for something and muttering: "If only there was a cure..."

"Will? Can she possibly get any better. Or is there no hope?"

"No hope? If she stays awake we can at least hope she stays alive. I wish Apollo would just answer me. He hasn't spoken to any of the campers in a while. He could possibly come and heal her, but he's not answering!"

I felt someone grab my hand and I looked over. "Piper? What's wrong."

"Jason, I can't hold on. I'm dying. Slowly, but I am dying." She took a deep breath.

"Jason, if I die soon. Promise me you'll m-move on. Promise m-me you w-won't dwell on this. Promise me. Please. Y-you have to live a l-long and happy life. E-even if it means with someone else. P-please. I wan't you to be happy."

As soon as she said that. All I could think about was the song she used to sing. She'd sing it very quietly, I could barely ever hear her sing it.

If I die young

Bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in a river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song.

Tears ran down my face. "Piper, how am I supposed to move on. I love you, and only you. I will only ever love you."

She reached out and grabbed my face. "I love you too. B-but I just want to see you h-happy. Please. P-promise me you'll try."

I looked into her kaleidoscope eyes and said "I promise."
