Blood of Olympus: One Month Later

Chapter 6: Piper/ Author's Note

Author's Note: I am a terrible person. I apologize for giving you nothing for the past 2 months. My school loves to pile things into to the last couple months. I also didn't think there was much interest in this story. A lot of reads and only a couple votes and comments. Which made me a little upset. Some of you are gonna say but Julia some people just read and don't do anything else and you should appreciate what you did get.

A: You sound like my mom.(I literally imagined my mom's voice when I wrote the line above)

B: I do appreciate those people who showed their support(I shall put them in the dedications after this note)

C: On this website when I check my story, as some of you fellow writers know, one of the first things I see are stats. It say # of reads, # of votes and # of comments.I am betting there are many like me read into little things like that to much. So Sorry.

But Good News Everyone!(Read that in the Professor's voice from Futurama) I took a short writing class so hopefully my writing should be a little better. If not I'm either a terrible student or I had a terrible teacher. Since it's SUMMER, look towards the media for Olaf's performance, more updates. Being the lazy bum I am, I have nothing planned for this Summer. So be on "Constant Vigilance" when it comes to updates. I apologize for all of these fandom references. Also I added a little bit to the last chapter so check that out. On with the story.

Piper 6

Calypso: All rights go to a mortal named Rick Riordan except for this story's plot which go to the weird mortal who kidnapped me, Julia Weasley.

Me: Hey!!!

This Chapter is dedicated to all who have supported me with this book whether it was digitally or my family telling me to remember to sleep.

"Hurry, she's almost here!" Lacey yelled as she raced back towards us. I plead to all the gods for more time but they did not answer. We were so dead. The dreaded being approached quickly. Each step making me more anxious, we were not prepared. I put on my brave face and stepped forward.

"Hey Annabeth." I said as I looked anywhere but her. Both words laced with charm. Her eyes took on a glazed look but she snapped herself out of it. Hades she's stubborn, Percy was right.

"Explain Piper." She said as she examined our cabin. This one time I could not find the words. I wanted to tell her I sort of fought two hydras last night and then fought with Jason leaving me exhausted. Which made me oversleep so I couldn't awake the cabin. Instead of that perfectly good explanation to the utter disarray of our cabin, I just mumbled, "Overslept."

"Two out of five, Piper. Do better tomorrow." With that she left to make another cabin suffer. Hopefully the Ares Cabin, Hermes Cabin or Hypnos Cabin(I just sort of assume that they would sleep the day away never bothering to clean) did worse than us with the cabin inspection. Usually I would count Percy's cabin to do pretty bad but we had two factors working against us. His girlfriend is doing the inspection, THEY'RE SO CUTE. Stupid Aphrodite. Also his brother Tyson is visiting. Anyways fingers crossed. I turned towards my siblings and gave them an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, I had late night. I promise it won't happen again." After that many had seemed to have forgiven me but I heard someone in the back.

"Probably staying up late kissing Jason." They said angrily. I glared in their direction and did not hear another peep. But their words brought back what happened last night. Jason had seemed truly apologetic but you can't just say I didn't love my friend. I really want him to make it up to me so we can sweep our fight under the rug. With that I lined up my cabin and we marched out to breakfast. Drew who stood behind me would step on the back of my shoes each time. Eventually I sent her to the back of the line due to my annoyance. Once we reached breakfast I sat down and waited for the daily announcements. Chiron started his usual speech about capture the flag and announced new campers so I zoned out. But then I heard my name.

"I would like to thank Piper Mclean and Thalia for coming to the aid of Jason Grace last night with two hydras who took him and multiple nymphs by surprise. Please stand up, you two."

I stood up and smiled sheepishly trying not to draw attention to myself but to no avail. All eyes tuned towards me and Thalia. Behind my smile, my mind whirred through the possible culprits. Who told Chiron? Thalia would've been to tired. All of the nymphs would still be in recovery from the hydras' attack. Dammit Jason. He must have gotten up early and visited the Big House. This must be his weird way of trying to show his appreciation. But he knew I didn't like the attention. Too many bricks to the head must have made him forget. Once I could sit down, I finished breakfast. I then set my cabin on our schedule and went to find Jason. I found him at the lake shore talking to Percy. Percy was the first to notice and I motioned for him to leave.

"Sorry man, I gotta go. I need to go to the forge and pickup some new blunted weapons for the new campers. I don't want them killing each other on the first day." Percy said. He stood up and jogged towards the forge. Jason also stood but then he saw me.

"Hey Pipes." He waved causing his arm muscles to ripple. He brushed his blond hair out of his face. His hair had grown out during our journey. His military haircut from Camp Jupiter had been replaced by the standard teenage boy haircut. It had become shaggy but not as messy as Percy's. It suited Jason. Snap out of it Piper. I used my unhappiness from the incident at the Pavilion to focus on what I wanted to tell him.

"Seriously Jason."

"What did I do?"

"Why did you tell Chiron about last night?" I said with my hands on my hips(power pose: Brooklyn 99)

"Piper you deserve it I probably would be monster food if it were weren't for you."

"You know I don't like attention, but you had Chiron announce to the whole camp what happened."

"Gods you're thick Piper. I'm trying to thank you and also apologize." I knew in my head that this was true but the anger and sorrow in my heart had taken over.

"Well I don't need your thanks and apologies. I need Leo contrary to what you believe." I began to walk away.

"Piper wait, I can..." He was interrupted by a large skidding noise. A horse ran towards us with a rider.

"Hey guys!" The rider yelled at us. It was Hazel. Her shout diffused the tension.

"Hazel, what are you doing here?" I said with a smile.

"What I can't visit my friends?" She responded.

"There's gotta be something else, you are a centurion. You can't just ditch the legion unless its a mass visit."I inquired.

"Well I want to introduce you to someone. Well not just you the whole camp. Can you help me out?"

"Sure, I'll go find Percy and Annabeth." I started walking off.

"Piper, stop! We need to talk."Jason plead. I ignored him and went off to find Percabeth. Hazel followed me.

"What's got your toga in a twist?" Hazel questioned.

"It's a long story. Let's just find the power couple." I grumbled.
