Piper POV
July 20th (3 days after Jason disappeared)
“No sign, sorry Piper.” Frank said, coming back from Jason old post.
“It’s okay. We will keep looking tomorrow.”
I walked over to the new Greek bunks.
The building was like a college dorm. Hundreds of rooms were built side by side, and stacked on top of each other. The building had been built to resemble all of the cabins at Camp Half-Blood. With everyone separated by sections and floors. We stayed in rooms of 3.
Percy, Jason, and Nico stayed in a room together. The day he disappeared, Jason told me how much he enjoyed having someone to talk to, instead of the creepy statue of his dad staring at him. Percy told me the same thing except he said he liked the fact he didn’t walk into silence when he entered his room.
But now Percy said, the silence was back.
Jason had been missing for 3 days. He told me he me he would be okay. He just left without a trace. Nothing. Jason just disappeared. I didn’t like that.
I got to my room on the 1st floor. I was sharing a room with Drew and Lacy. Not the best combination, but we made it work. I took the twin bed a one side of the room, while Lacy and Drew shared a bunk bed. When I came in, it was just me. I laid down on my bed and thought about the attack almost week ago.
I had been dreaming when Jason woke us all up. I was glad to have heard his voice that moment, because my dream had me thinking something different.
. . .
It was all just glimpses, but they all had the same concept.
The first glimpse was Jason, flying over the entrance of Camp. His head snapped to the side very quickly and he zoomed down Caldecott Tunnel. The second Jason was standing over girl, he picked her up, and got in a car with 2 other people, laying the girl on his lap.
The car drove away but the focus of the dream stayed where in was.
A creature, just like the ones that attacked camp stood staring straight at me.
He let out a deep raspy laugh and said, “You will lose the things you thought you had safe.”
The dream faded into another. There was a dark figure standing on a beach. Their hair was blowing in the wind. I couldn’t see their face but, I could tell they were crying. Every once in awhile they would hiccup. They stared at the water, until an orange light shone so bright, it almost light up their face. They turned around to see a building a fire people were running around trying to put out the fire. The people inside were screaming trying to get out but were trapped.
The person on the beach began to cry harder. They turned and ran far away from the burning building. They ran so fast, they tripped and fell to their knees. They sat there for a count of 10 before standing up. The person continued to run, until I was awoken by Jason’s voice.
. . .
When I woke up, I was afraid Jason really had gone into the car and drove away from camp. But here was there. Now he’s not, he’s somewhere in a car, with 3 people he doesn’t know. And everyone is telling me I shouldn’t be worried.
I now, for the first time, truly understood what Percy felt when Annabeth died. Jason had gone missing before, but I had a feeling I wouldn’t be seeing him for a long time.
Seeing.
Everyone always says, seeing is believing. But how can I believe Jason is alive if I can’t see him.
