Pretty Little Psycho || Dark Piper Mclean, PJO/HOO

A clue?

a/n: I just came back from cammping!! Sorry abt the wait, but the next wait will be much shorter! Enjoy!

Third person pov:

Half an hour after the child of Aphrodite and Apollo had run out the woods the immediate meeting alarm was called.

Despite some debating all the heads of cabins showed up after around 15 minutes in the big house. Even Clovis had managed to stay up for 2 minutes to walk over!! Crazy right?

After Piper and Will had explained there was a sense of tension in the room.

However, there was a feeling in the air that normally wasn't there when it came to each other... Suspicion. No one knew why, but suddenly everyone was glancing at each other like they had not known each other for that long.

Everyone shook it off a few seconds later and started coming up with their own explanations for it. It had only lasted for a few seconds but they all know that they felt it. (Except for Clovis, he was asleep).

Piper pov.

We all felt it. For a moment no one trusted each other.

That was for sure, what I don't know is why.

I leaned back in my chair crossed my arms, and searched the room for clues. No shady figure, no godly presence (besides Mr. D, I think), and everything looks normal, except the people...

Percy was pacing biting his knuckle, Miranda was always touching something on her nervously, Clarisse hadn't moved once, she just sat there staring at the table intensely as if interrogating it. Annabeth had a hand resting on Percy's shoulder but she had a hard look at anyone, Will had sat back down and seemed to be doing the same thing as me but was fiddling with the bandage on his wrist. Leo was lost in thought while fiddling with some parts, Travis was just looking at his lap, and Pollux was giving a new diet coke to his father not meeting anyone's eyes. Butch from the Iris cabin had left to make a call to the Roman camp, Damien White had also left with him, and Lou Ellen had an arm around Will but her eyebrows were furrowed in concentration. Chiron was pacing back and forth stroking his beard. A few people were chatting but it was very little.

The one thing weird thing was how Jason kept his mouth shut the entire time and hardly moved. Not a single muscle..

I caught eyes with Dionysus and it was definitely one of those moments when you remembered that he is a god. He narrowed his eyes as a question and it felt like he saw through my soul. Please stop seeing everything I've donee! I sucked in a breath and tried keeping emotion off my face. I must've succeeded since he broke contact and went back to his Coke.

Chiron stopped his pacing and cleared his throat for everyone's attention, everyone's heads snapped to him.

"Thank you for letting us know. However, I don't believe we can do a lot from here-"

OH COME ON! Wait... no. That kinda makes sense.

That sentence was immediately met with backlash. He held up his hand for silence.

"I know, I know. I said from here. There is only one place he can be, the casino. Now who is comfortable with reading the message on the card?"

There was silence until Clarisse swallowed hard and stood up. "I will."

I was slightly stunned. "You sure?" She nodded back. She got up and picked up the card and began to read.

"You all can guess where he is, but we kinda need him. You can try to get him but he will be well over to our sister location by the time you arrive... I can't read the rest. It's too smudged... But, if you come before 5 days are over we WILL kill him. -Love, the Lotus Eaters." She angrily threw it back on the table.
