The Hitman's Hoax (A Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

7:00 AM

7:00 AM

Piper ran through the snow ignoring the cold. She ran faster than she knew she could, not stopping once to catch her breath. She needed to get out of here. She needed to get someone to help. She needed to do something before they died.

Nearing the front of the school Piper began to sprint. She noticed headlights of a car and despite herself let out a laugh of relief. "Help!" She screamed as she drew closer. "Someone help! Please!"

She ran toward the front door where people stood in coats and Principal Brunner sat in his wheelchair had just walked in the school.

"Piper?" A woman asked.

"Jane!" Piper shouted running and pulling the surprised woman into a hug. "Oh my god! I have never been happy to see you before!"

Jane pulled back from their embrace kind of uncomfortable. Then she noticed Piper's strange appearance. "What- what are you covered in?"

The smile melted off of Piper's face and she began speaking hurriedly. "Blood. They're dead. You've gotta call the cops! They're being held hostage in the Spanish room! There's someone else who moved Leo's and Percy's bodies too! I don't know who it is but its Thalia, Will maybe? or maybe Luke or even Hazel- no she wouldn't shoot her brother. She didn't know about it either."

"What are you talking about?" Jane asked her.

"Bodies?" A brown haired woman echoed. "Percy's body?"

"You have to call the cops!" Piper screamed. "They're working with the Titans and people are dead!"

"No. No. No!" Luke shouted kicking a desk to the side. He took a breath and looked back to the students sitting on the floor. "They aren't here yet..." He murmured. He walked closer to the group and grabbed Nico by the back of the shirt ignoring the yelling he received before countering it with a threatening wave of his gun.

Nico coughed up blood as Luke pulled the smaller boy away from the group by his shirt. "Hope you- you know I've always- h-hated you..." Nico told Luke with a glare.

"I can live with that," Luke said dragging him over to the fire escape. He put his back to the group for a moment to heave Nico out the window. Thalia quickly looked to Will who nodded. Without a second thought the two grabbed Luke from behind. Nico fell onto the fire escape and down the steps banging his head and knocking himself out. Meanwhile Will fought for control of the gun. The gun fired once and Hazel screamed as the bullet embedded itself in the wall beside her head.

"Why the fuck are we standing here?" Piper shouted at the adults. "Did you not hear me? People are dead?"

"We need to wait for the police," Jane told her patiently.

"What happened to Percy? I'm his mother Sally," the brown haired woman asked Piper.

Piper shook her head and turned her gaze to the floor. "I'm sorry."

The woman sunk to the floor. "But who...?"

"Who else is... hurt? I'm Annabeth's father Frederick..."

Piper continued staring at the floor as she quietly answered the question. "Percy, Leo, Jason, Annabeth... Rachel, and Nico was shot as I ran- I think Frank was too..." Piper said nothing as parents gasped introducing themselves and demanding to know more about their children.
