Meant To Be (Jiper Fanfic)

I'm Attacked by a Rainbow

Piper's POV

I ran back to the cabin. Everyone asked where I had been. I just said "on a walk." I shrugged my shoulders, hoping they believed it. No one seemed to care, so I threw on a swimsuit, and grabbed a towel. Then I ran outside. I was determined to beat Jason there. I ran into the water. Something seemed strange. I brushed the thought aside. I was here to have fun. Suddenly I heard someone howl. I turned around in time to see a huge wave bury me. When I came up I expected to see Jason, but standing in front of me was Percy.

"Gotcha." He smirked. I just rolled my eyes. "Yeah I guess. A little wimpy for a son of Poseidon though." He just stared at me dumbstruck. It was my turn to smirk. Suddenly he glared at me. He swept up his hand and the waves rolled over me. Or so he thought they would. Before the waves reached their full potential, I dove into the water anticipating his next move. I swam through the water till I could see Percy. I swam so that I was positioned behind him. I jumped up... But he was waiting for me. He turned around and tackled me midair. That was a very depressing time. Let me just say that you shouldn't tempt a son of Poseidon... while standing in a lake. That might have been a bit stupid on my part.

Anyway... Percy lifted me onto his shoulders and shouted "Okay you ready?" He didn't give me anytime to answer, but instead threw me into the lake while yelling "Here we go!"

I swam back up to the surface coughing and spitting salt water. "Ugh... Percy, you officially suck." I told him. He just laughed. "I'm gonna swim out to the platform." I said. Suddenly a hippocampus swam up to me and began nipping my legs, feet, and toes. "Ow! What do you want you dumb fish?" I shouldn't have said that, he neighed then bit me again, this time harder. The hippocampus neighed once more, and Percy said "Oh yeah that's Rainbow, Tyson's hippocampus friend. He wants to give you a ride." "Ummmm ok?" I said cautiously I slipped onto his back. Right as I wrapped my arms around his neck he took off. I might as well tell you what the platform is. It's a little raft that's anchored in the middle of the lake. You can swim out to it, and jump off it and stuff. It's pretty cool. So I rode the whole way out there. When I got there I realized someone was already there. "Hello?" I said. The person turned around and I realized it was a man. He was in khaki shorts, and bright green eyes, that looked almost exactly like Percy's. His shirt was a bit like a Hawaiian one, but less repulsive .

"Poseidon!" I said, and knelt down. "To what do I owe the honor?" I asked, trying to be as polite as possible. "Bah, no need to be so formal girl. A friend of my son is a friend of mine." He told me. "Oh alright... Why are you visiting me?" "Because, I have come to warn you." "To warn me of what exactly?" "Piper you know Apollo does not control the Oracle if Delphi, correct?" "He still hasn't restored it?" I asked glumly. "No, so the oracles remaining, do not work quite as well. So we cannot expect prophecies any time soon. But, the oceans have whispered, something dangerous is rising. You must take a quest, you must go to Ogygia." "Ogygia... Where's that, what's so dangerous?" I asked. "Echidna. She rises!" Poseidon had a strange look in his eyes. Then I realized, it was the look of a mad-man. I had seen it before, but where, was the question

Poseidon disappeared and in his place sat Jason. Who was, once again, knocked unconscious. " WAKE UP!" I screamed. He sat straight up, and said "Echidna is rising!" Then fell to the raft. Once more unconscious.
