Piper
I had been 4 weeks since the battle and Gaia had been defeated but Piper wasn't that excited and happy as she thought she would be. Obviously she hated being in danger 24-7 and worrying if she would even live till tomorrow but something wasn't quite right. She missed the Argo 2 and all her friends surrounding her, being a regular demigod at camp-half blood felt a bit strange.
But most of all she missed Leo. He was alive she knew it, she forced herself to believe it. Leo could not of simply vanished. Yes Nico and Hazel said he had died but they said there was something different about it... Perhaps he was alive and he managed to find a way back. Honestly she didn't know what to believe these days.
Piper woke up in the pitch black. According to her watch it was 5:15 am. She hadn't been sleeping that well since the battle. Her thoughts were constantly keeping her awake, which lead to her waking up at ridiculous hours.
Now that she was awake it was hard to fall back asleep so as quite as she could piper slipped out of the Aphrodite cabin and took a walk to the lake.
When she was about half way a voice disturbed the silence-
"Pipes, is that you?"
Piper turned around to find Jason standing there, looking quite panicky but at the same time excited.
"Pipes i have had a dream." Jason said shakily. Piper started to worry. Dreams where common with demigods but nobody had actually dreamt since the battle.
"Whats wrong Jason?" She said, placing her hand on Jason's arm reassuringly.
"I had a dream... About leo" he said, "He is alive Pipes. Leo is alive"
She stared at him for about a minute, emotions bubbling inside her. Leo had lived through explosion!! Piper was just about to scream with joy before it occurred to her that i had better make sure Jason's dream was correct.
"Seriously! What happened? Is he okay?" She asked
"Well that's just the thing." Jason said, "I think he is in danger." Piper immediately started to panic. Questions soon began to form in her head.
"Where? Who is he with? What danger? You sure he is alive?" Piper asked.
"Ummm. I don't know" Jason said slowly.
"What do you mean you don't know. You must have some clue after all, it was your dream" Piper said
"Well..." Jason started but was soon interrupted by Annabeth, who had probably come to see what the noise was about. With out noticing it her voice had risen from excitement and anger from clueless Jason.
"Piper, Jason?" Asked Annabeth, "what in hades is going on?
"Jason's had a dream" Piper replied quickly
"Leo"
"What! Really, you sure it wasn't just something you made up?" Annabeth said.
"No and he's in danger" Jason said.
"Oh my gods, is he alright!" Annabeth asked concerned
"Well i don't know" Jason said unhelpfully. Piper was trying to control her anger and by the look on Annabeth's face she was too.
"JASON JUST TELL US ABOUT THE STUPID DREAM!!!!" Piper shouted. Jason looked a bit shocked at Pipers sudden outburst.
"Well i didn't actually see leo..." Jason said
"But i thought you said he was alive!" Piper demanded.
"I did but there was this..."
"Hey guys, having a nice early morning chat" Percy said as he came put of his cabin.
"Percy! SHUT UP" Annabeth shouted
"Schist, what put you in a bad mood" percy grumbled
"Dude i had a dream..." Jason explained
"About leo..." Annabeth continued
"And he will not explain it too us!!" Piper finished
"Okay..." Percy said, trying to understand the situation, "so is leo okay?"
"Well we are trying to figure that out" piper said annoyed.
"Well in my dream there was-"
"Hey guys whats going on?" Asked Travis from the Hermes cabin
"GO AWAY!!!!" Shouted Piper, Annabeth, Jason and Percy. Travis quickly turned back into the cabin.
"Where was i again?" Asked Jason
"Explaining your dream!" Piper said, wishing they would stop being interrupted and Jason would tell them about his stupid dream so she could see leo again.
"Oh yeah. So there was this voice, young i think, and they were like 'we have leo Valdez, like, come and get him'" Jason explained
"Dude, can you be a bit more specific please" percy said
"No, that's what is said" Jason said. Piper fought the urge to scream. Seriously! Thats all they got. Well for all she knew Jason could be making this up. They didn't even know where he was!
"Oh my gods, you have got to be kidding me. That's the lamest threatening speech ever!" Annabeth said
"Yeah they must be novices at being the bad guys" percy agreed, " I mean, they haven't even said where he is!"
As soon as percy said that a piece of paper came fluttering down from the sky. Piper grabbed it and read the text aloud.
"Hey umm... Enemies we have leo in a warehouse ( address on the back ) . P.S.We are totally not novices. We know our stuff."
"Well that was weird" Jason said
"Agreed, where is the warehouse?" Annabeth asked.
Piper flipped the paper over and read the address on the back.
"Hey that's not far from here!" Piper said, "when do we go?"
"As soon as we ask Chiron?" Jason suggested
"Sounds good. Meet you guys at 7 here?" Percy said
"Seaweed brain, you make it sound like a day trip!" Annabeth said
"Well after after surviving Tartarus i hardly think this is going to be a challenge. I bet you leo has probably found his way out by now" percy answered. Well he does have a point, piper thought. Compared to the giants and Gaia this looked like a fairground ride. And she was about to see leo!!
"See Jason" piper said as they walked back to their cabins, "I knew he wasn't dead"
