Chapter 17 Jason Even though this whole hunting-down-Octavian-the-psyco-killer thing was supposed to be serious, and I should've been nervous that he was armed with explosives and could blow up the entire camp at any time, I was enjoying it a lot. All of us were together, maybe not under the best circumstances, like when Hazel was in the hospital, but still, together. As we walked, looking for 'you know who', I felt Piper lace her fingers into mine. I love holding her hand. It always gives me this warm sensation, and I feel like we can't be separated, like no one could ever break us apart.
Then just at that moment, a knife flew in between us, almost slicing off Piper's hand. "Eeek!" She screamed.
I looked back to see who threw the weapon, and found myself staring at, yup, you guessed it: Octavian. I could see the madness in his eyes, his sanity almost nonexistent. He began to speak."I could throw that dagger just a little bit more to the side, and your precious girlfriend would have only one hand!" He let out the most horrific noise I'd ever heard, like a dying hyena, but then I realized it was his laugh, or... cackle.
"Let's continue our game of predator and prey, shall we? Oh but this time Jason Grace, I am the predator, and when I find you all, there will be blood." He disappeared a moment later, leaving us looking over our shoulders.
