The Mark of Athena

Chapter 6: Piper

Piper

Piper and the Greeks were walking ot the Mess Hall when PIper stopped in her tracks. They all bumped in to her.

"What the heck Piper," Annabeth asked.

Then Annabeth noticed Jason was kissing Reyna. They stopped kissing and walked together toward the Mess Hall. All of the Greeks looked at Piper for an answer.

She looked at the with a fake, suppressed smile and said, "I thought y'all were hungry. Lets go."

They walked in the Mess hall and the Greeks spread out to interact with the Romans. Leo, Piper, Jason, Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, and Frank all sat together at a table. Leo sat next to Hazel and Piper. Piper tried to avoid Jason and sat on the opposite said of the table. Frank was next to Jason and Thalia while Percy was between Annabeth and Grover.

They all odered their food. Percy got a blue hamburger, blue fries and a blue coke. Piper wondered at all the blue was about. Leo and Grover ate a plate of chesse enchilads. Rachel, Jason, Thaila, and Frank, ate Pizza. Hazel recied gumbo and Piper eat pasta.

, Leo said, "So Percy! Will you tell us about your quests!"

Percy blushed and said, "They're nothing special."

"Oh whatever Percy!," said Thalia " Stop being so modest!"

He started out with him finding out he was a half-blood, and his mom being taken my Hades. Annabeth included that he killed a Minotaur with his bared hands.

"Yeah! No thanks to Grover," Percy joked.

"Hey! I was knocked out. Give me a break," Grover pleaded.

"So after two weeks at camp, I was given a quest to find Zeus' lighting bolt. We travel form Manhattan all the way to Hollywood. After searching the underworld, I was promised by Hades o find is Helmet in exchange for my mother. I had no idea were it was!  When we left the underworld, Ares didn't want me to give Zeus the bolt. So I challenged him, and won."

"Woah, Woah, Woah, you chanallge my dad, the god of war and WON and it was your first quest! Wow Percy, no wonder why when he came to camp, he looked like he hated you," Frank exclaimed. 

They he went on how he and Annabeth set out to find Grover and the Golden Fleece. He explained about Cici's island and why Reyna kept giving Annabeth strange looks. 

Percy continued, " Yeah, so about tow days after the Fleece hung at Camp Half Blood, A weird girl wearing all black popped up. Everyone was so scared! I just went up and talked to her. It was Thalia. SO that's why I call her pine-cone face."

"If it wasnt for Percy, I would still be a Pine Tree," Thalia beamed.

She looked at Percy with pride in her eyes and Percy said, "Yeah it was the dumbest thing I have ever done." 

"You know you love me," Thalia said with a goofy grin

Piper interrupeted, " So, have you and Thalia always been this close?"

They looked at each other and started to laugh like crazy!

" What," Annabeth asked. " What happened?"

"Okay," Percy giggled." So back at Camp, we decide to play Capture the Flag against the Hunter. Fighting happened, blah, blah, and next the I knew I was zapped by lighting!"

" Dude, I almost skewed you in to fish sticks," Thalia laughed.

"Well, I would have drowned you if Chrion hadn't stopped me," argued Percy.
