Percy thought the best place to search would be where he was held captive for a year. He cast his mind back 15 years and pictured where it was. He took Annabeth's hand and sprinted off, Annabeth in tow.
When they arrived Percy yanked the door open. There were three doors. Percy strode across the corridor to one of the doors. He pulled it open. Annabeth stepped into the tiny room.
"How did you know about this place?" She asked.
"How do you think?"
"Oh." Annabeth said, "he kept you here."
Percy grabbed her hand and dragged her out. He shut the door and pulled her over to the next one. This was the one that he had found the others in. The camps dotted around. Abandoned. He couldn't look. He shut the door without even going in. He walked purposefully up to the final door.

Piper could tell that her son liked Hope, and she could tell that Hope liked him. Now she knew how Grover had felt when he was going on quests with Percy and Annabeth. Hey duh you like eachother go out already! Her and Jason hadn't meant for Tristan to be born. They hadn't wanted for a child to have to go through a war. They would've had children anyway, but later. They were immortal and they would have kids. Just after the war. If any of them survived.
She and Silena went from house to house charmspeaking people to let them have 'a harmless look around' they found nothing. As the clock ticked closer to 12 they still found nothing. They started heading back.
People started dropping to the floor on the street. The two girls immediately went on high alert. Soon the entire street was out cold. Piper looked round. Suddenly a man appeared. Piper knew immediately that it was End.
"The daughters of Aphrodite am I right?" He asked.
"What's it to you?" Silena crossed her arms.
"Every pawn means a lot to me." End said. End's lips curled into an evil smile.
Then Piper's world turned upside down and everything went black.

On their way back to the meeting spot. Luke, Tristan and Hope walked down a street certain street. The very same street that Piper and Silena lay on. Luke spotted them and rushed over he checked both of their pulses. They were alive. He let out a sigh of relief. Luke looked up to see Tristan standing over his mother anxiously.
"They're alive," Luke confirmed. Tristan sighed in relief.
Luke looked around for Hope. He saw her a meter or so away looking down at the stones on the floor. He walked over. Where Hope was looking there was a bit of writing in red.

Hope is the last thing to go. Once you've lost Hope. You have really lost everything-End

"Is that blood?" Tristan asked. Hope nodded silently.
Luke grabbed their shoulders and pulled them away. He grabbed Silena and Piper and put them each over one of his shoulders. They walked away to the meeting point. Not looking back. Not even once. If they had, things might've been different. One shadows, well almost shadow, followed them, and merged into Piper. No one noticed. They just carried on walking.

Hey guys.
Love ya
