Piper POV
Helena went to her bunk and pulled out a notebook from underneath her mattress.
"I write all my notes in here from my lessons but I also write personal stuff. Random journal entries, almost like a diary." Helena opened the journal to show Piper what she meant.
"So what seems to be the problem?" Piper asked.
"Sometimes, what I write, it ends up becoming true." Helena said.
Piper looked up and gave a confused look. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"Look, I wrote this random haiku during Will's Arts and Crafts lesson. But the weirdest thing happened after I wrote it." She handed it to Piper to let her read.
A midnight message
Desperate sighs in the night
The chosen ones cry
"Wow this is pretty cool. I like it!" Piper praised Helena. "But what happened after you wrote it?"
Helena looked at Piper with her brown eyes with such sorrow, Piper started to feel sad herself.
"Remember the night where you got the quest? I wrote this the day of. It came true. My poem came true."
Piper didn't know what to say. "But I didn't cry, and I don't remember Leo or Percy crying either. Maybe it's a coincidence?"
Helena shook her head. "That's what I thought, too. So to test it out I wrote another poem today. Read it."
Piper looked at the page open in Helena's hand:
The sky came down
The fowl in confusion
The white maid frolic
in a field of illusion
Heavy eyes were the sound of music
While she danced in seclusion
"Wow this is one different. But it is a well written piece." Piper admired Helena's work. "What happened after writing this?"
Helena laughed almost hysterically. "Jason came. He's the son of Jupiter. Annabeth, child of Athena. The owl is her symbol. An owl! That's a bird."
Piper was in shock. "We should talk to someone about this."
Helena shut her notebook. "No, not yet. I'm already a freak. I don't wanna be some poet freak now."
Piper didn't want to push her but knew this was important. At that moment the dinner bell rang. Helena put her notebook away and they both made their way to dinner.
