Just as Piper was about to call out the old man started talking. And when he did, Piper got the feeling that she shouldn't say anyhtng.

"- It would be better if you would just die now." The old man said as his eyes flashed with  frightening image of fire. For  second, Piper thought she was just in shock. Not a single person in camp had had a dream that brought them directly to Percy. Everyone knew, or suspected anyway, that Percy was at the Roman Camp, but no one knew for sure.

Percy then pulled two vials out of his coat pocket and held them out to the evil looking old man.

"Alright Phineas-" and with that, Piper was pulled out the parking lot and thrown into a dark cavern, with walls made of nothing but darkness. In front of Piper, was a tall black gate. In the darkness it glowed with a blue tint. Celestial bronze, Piper thought automatically. Something about the gates where off though, they were wide open, and the smell of monsters that came through the other side, even Piper could smell it. Cautiously. She pulled out Katoptris out of it's sheath that hung on her side. Her knife was  13 inches of celestial bronze that glowed with the same blue as the gates. With her weapon ready she started to walk forward. But after taking one step, a woman's solemn laugh echoed through the darkness.

Oh, child, I wouldn't do that. 

Piper stopped, feeling as if she were being choked. It was almost as if the sound was wrapping itself around Piper's throat making her unable to breath.

You dare to come here.

To the Doors Of Death.

Daughter of Aphrodite, do not come here again.

For there is use for you yet, but your death is to be sure and strong and loud.

So run child, run.

The voice chuckled again, as if she had made a clever joke, and before Piper could say a word the darkness faded.

Note from Miyani,

Yes, I know this was a really short "Chapter" if you could call it that, which I don't, by the way. But This was the rest of Piper's dream so I just ended with that. If you have any ideas, just put in in the comments box.  Don't fear though, I am working on the 3rd chapter ( hopefully it will be long) but I've been studying Trig in between writing for a test on monday, so it will probably be a short one. Sorry, I'll write as fast as i can.
