Pirates (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

Sorry this took so long, guys. I suck at updating regularly :( Please don't hate me for being a butt, just be patient with me <3

As Jason brought Piper into his room, he looked around and noticed a problem: there weren’t any sleeping spaces except for his bed. “Uh…”

Piper rolled her eyes.

“Um… I guess you can sleep in my bed.” he said, walking her to the bed. He tied her hands to one of the posts.

She glared at him.

Jason rubbed the back of his neck and frowned. “…I’m sorry…” he apologized, looking to the floor. After a few moments of trying to avoid Piper’s death glare, he gave up and walked to his desk, picking up a radio. “Percy?”

“What? Did you screw up already?” was the captain’s reply.

“No… Is it okay to untie Piper? I feel bad leaving her like this…”

“Hold on.”

A megaphone on the wall screeched. “Everyone, you can untie our guests.” it spoke in Percy’s voice. “I’m locking the doors so no one can get out.”

A collective click could be heard from the hallway, signaling that everyone’s doors were now locked.

With that, Jason walked over to Piper, ungagging her and untying her hands.

Piper simply sighed and sat on the bed, hugging a pillow.

“… My name’s Jason.” he said, offering his hand with a small smile.

She looked at his hand, but didn’t shake it. Instead, just looking to the floor with a frown.

After another moment of waiting for a response, Jason’s smile melted and he sighed, plopping into a wooden chair. “…I’m sorry okay?”

Piper didn’t reply.

“…I’m sorry we kidnapped you… I was just following orders… I shouldn’t blame you for not talking to me… you have every right to be mad…”

This only got him a glance from Piper in return, but it only lasted a moment before she looked back at the floor.

“…We’re not going to hurt you guys, Percy’s not like that. I’m not sure any of us really know where we’re going with this pirate thing… We thought it would be fun as kids, but… it’s a lot harder than I thought…”

With that said, Piper looked up at Jason with a curious look.

He chuckled. “Yeah… when you’re a pirate, you don’t make many friends… just more enemies. All we do is raid towns and other people’s ships… it’s dangerous too… our enemies try to kill us all the time…”

Piper looked back to the floor.

Jason took a glance up at her then back at the floor as well. He uttered a sigh, not knowing what else to say.

“…It’s nice to meet you...” Piper said with a small smile.

Jason looked up at her. “Huh?”

“I said it’s nice to meet you…”

Jason smiled. “It’s nice to meet you too Piper.” He held out his hand again.

This time Piper shook it. She put the pillow at the head of the bed and lied down. “Night.”

Jason smiled. “Goodnight.” He shut off the light.

After finally stopping a machine from tearing up his room, Leo plopped down in his chair.
