Blood of Olympus

Piper: Chapter 2

Piper

Piper was having the worst day ever. First, when her boyfriend didn't reappear from the training arena she went to look for him. She found him lying, half dead, on the ground. He was bleeding a ton. With the help of Annabeth and Hazel they got him to the sickbay.

They went to find the other boys and found them on the couch watching football. The boys immediately got paranoid and left their game. Only to come rushing back, recording it then rushing off again. Boys were despicable. Annabeth and Frank had put a cast on his head. They had told a bawling Piper to stay away. Then she had gone into her room and sat on her bed. She stayed in there for a couple of days. Only coming out to get food or water.

Suddenly, about five minutes ago, a dagger had appeared at her throat. She had screamed and someone had put their hand on her mouth.

Now, in the present time, a woman in a silk dress was pacing back and forward in Piper's room. Piper was tied up. The woman had brown hair with red highlights. Her pale skin sparkled in the light. Jason rushed in, his gladius unsheathed.

"Oh." The woman said "the boyfriend has arrived."

Jason slashed. The woman stepped out of the way.

"You don't want to hurt us." Piper said, using her charmspeak.

"Your charmspeak doesn't work on me." The woman said.

"Do you work for Gaea?" Jason asked.

"No!" The woman said.

"Then why are you attacking us?" Piper asked.

"I thought you worked for Gaea." The woman said, snapping her fingers. The ropes around Piper untied. "I have to go talk to someone about something very important." She said. Then she snapped her fingers again and vanished.

"What was that about?" Jason asked.

"I have no idea." Piper replied, staring at the spot where the woman had disappeared. She shook her head. The image did not go away. The dagger at her neck, of course she had been in much more terrifying moments. Still, horrifying.

"I wonder who that was." Jason murmured.

"Me to." Piper said.

Back in the mess hall Piper and Jason told their stories. Jason told them about the girl who had appeared in his mind and Piper told them about the woman who nearly killed her. Percy seemed unsettled the whole time.

"What's wrong Percy?" Piper asked.

"I had a dream about that woman." He said, everyone looked expectantly at him, "she's supposedly a descendant of Poseidon. She has amazing powers, some gods think she can beat Hercules with one weapon while he has many."

"Geez." Leo said. "That's one powerful chic."

"Yeah." Percy said "also, Zeus can't even stop her from getting what she wants."

Frank stared at Percy, "Wow."

"Someone that powerful would be good to have with us." Hazel said

Annabeth's eyes lit up "maybe be she can stop Gaea!"

"Gaea's already trying to get her on her side." Percy said "if those two unite they'll be unstoppable."

"Then we have to find her!" Frank said.

"Then onward to chic town!" Leo said.

"Leo you are not going go ask her out." Piper said.

"Wasn't planning to." Leo said innocently.

"Yeah right." Piper replied.

Leo glared at her then looked at Jason "what's up? You look a little... Down" Leo was right Jason wasn't talking much, and he kept his eyes at the floor.

"Nothing." He replied.

"You want to tell me." Piper said using her charmspeak.

"That woman was the one who nearly killed me." Jason said. "Except when she spoke in my mind she looked fifteen."

"I am going kill her." Piper growled.

"Good luck." Leo said. "I may or may not come to your funeral."

Piper punched him in the gut.

"Geez McLean." Leo said, "you hurt."

"Thank you." Piper said cheerfully.

"That wasn't a compliment." Leo muttered, Piper laughed.

"What's the chic's name?" Leo asked Percy.

"Shaley." Percy answered.

"I'm going to the library." Annabeth said. Piper would bet anything Annabeth was going to try to look up Shaley.

"Lunch time!" Leo announced, going into the kitchen. "Tacos for everyone!"

Piper got up and looked outside. There was something out there, she could feel it. Suddenly a blast of cold water hit her. "Percy!" She said glaring at him.

"It wasn't me." He said staring dumbfounded at her.

"Sorry." A girl's voice said. Shaley appeared, "didn't see you there."

"Whatever." Piper grumbled, reaching for the towels.

"Here. Allow me." Shaley said, snapping her fingers. The water on Piper's shirt disappeared.

Annabeth darted in. "Shaley." She said "you're not in a book."

Shaley smiled "sadly I'm not. The gods don't like admitting they can be defeated by a mortal."

"That sounds about right." Percy muttered.

"I have to warn you that they're coming." Shaley said.

"What?" Frank asked.

Suddenly the ship gave a violent lurch and Piper fell off. Great. Just another thing to add to her list of bad things happening that day.
