Piper's POV
"Every one, meeting with Lucy!" Nico's voice rang around the entire base, on a huge speaker. It had to be with Lucy's base being the size of a city. "Meet under the great statue as soon as you can! IT'S TIME!" That jolted everyone. Reyna and I were just talking by a statue near the battling arena. The statue was made from blood stone of a buff girl, a daughter of Ares or Mars I assumed, but I never asked. The girl looked like a wrestler with muscles on her body, so big you thought they were fake, but this girls muscles were defiantly not fake.
"We better go." Reyna said, we walked off and Reyna looked at the statue one last time. She suspected it might be one of her siblings, I guess it could have been.
Jason joined us on the way and put his arm around my shoulders. I saw a hurt expression on Reyna's face and shot her an apologetic look, she just smiled back. Jason was oblivious, as always, to Reyna liking him. I felt awful to make Reyna feel so upset, especially since we had become great friends over the year, but she seriously didn't mind and she was, very slowly, getting over him. "Do you think they've found Jinx?" Jason asked.
Reyna shook her head. "I doubt it. From the amount of searches gone wrong, in fact it's so quiet what with not a single person suffering from a monster attack, I'm seriously starting to wonder if Jinx has actually succeeded with killing all the monsters and Gaia... I mean if she can force people to fade, she could very well have done so."
"Maybe, but I asked Lucy that once." I said. "And she said it would have been impossible to do that without Jinx's cup, it's her form of energy and after about five times of doing that ritual she would have been exhausted and needed her cup. So unless she wanted to risk coming here I seriously doubt she's done that."
"Well let's hope Gaia didn't finish her. That would crush Lucy." Jason said.
We both nodded and continued to walk to the great statue.
Everyone crowded around the huge statue of the three daughters of Chaos. The statue was mounted on a circular block of platinum, which was what Lucy was standing on. With Nico and Percy on either side of her, both looked confused. Huddled next to Percy was his girlfriend: Annabeth Chase. Her blond hair was tucked in a tight ponytail with wisps flying lose, her grey eyes were alert and scanning the crowd and Lucy for, no doubt, signs and hints on what was going on, and she wore her usual camp half blood tank top - even though we were no longer at camp Half-Blood - and denim shorts. Though she tried to draw attention away from herself, she had been blessed by my mother making her, even though casual, appearance seem as if she was a super model. Percy's arm was wrapped tightly around Annabeth's waist and he was glaring at anyone who dared even look at Annabeth, which he'd had to do a lot lately with the blessing from my mother. But still you seriously didn't want a glare from Percy Jackson!
Lucy cleared her throat when we got there and fixed a stare at the back of the crowd. "As you all should know-" She glared at Conner and Travis Stoll, who blushed and looked anywhere but Lucy. "-my sister Jinx has been missing in action." There was mumbling around the crowd. Lucy sighed. "Or rather she left and swore revenge on Gaia and the Gods."
The mumbling stopped.
"I regret to say this was my fault."
Instantly everyone in the crowd started arguing including Jason, Reyna and me. Shouting disagreements. The only people I could see who weren't were Octavian and Thalia. Thalia, for some reason, didn't really like Lucy. She blamed her for being turned into a tree, which if you ask me was one hundred percent her fault.
Lucy held up her hand and the arguing stopped. "I'm afraid I may have... kept the truth from many of you." Lucy swallowed. "You see Jinx was a daughter of Hecate, as you all know."
There was an answer of nodding.
"But children of Hecate are similar to children of Hades; they can easily hold a grudge."
More nodding, a few huffs from children of Hecate and Hades.
"Ever since Jinx was young her emotions were easily heightened and easily out of control. Jinx wished for a certain person as her soulmate,"
I saw Ash lower his head.
"But when it became clear he was not, her emotions got out of control."
Everyone was jittering and whispering getting a very bad feeling.
"To get control of herself... Jinx cast a spell on herself."
There was a huge gasp as everyone, and I mean everyone, started talking.
"This spell!" Lucy yelled over the noise getting everyone's attention. "Locked away Jinx's emotions, but no one can be completely emotionless and the emotion left out was humour."
Everyone nodded remembering what Jinx was like. Lucy looked at Percy and Annabeth and I could tell they knew what happened next.
"This shield, as it was called, could only be penetrated by one thing, the same thing that could control her emotions in the first place."
"Her soulmate!" Millie shouted, looking as shocked as everyone else.
"Correct." Lucy said.
Everyone looked at each other nervously; especially couples and I squeezed Jason's hand.
"Most likely, without her knowing it, Jinx found her soulmate and before we got to Gaia, her shield was weakening. Letting her emotions - that had been locked up and intensified for so long - leak out."
Gasps, and more mumbling.
"But with Jinx not knowing this, her soulmate cannot help her calm and control her emotions."
I squeezed Jason's hand hard.
"This is what made Jinx so angry... but,"
Everyone leaned in.
"Jinx's soulmate had journeyed with her. He was on the Argo."
I couldn't breathe. Please no. Please no.
"With all this information, it shows that either Frank, Jason or Leo is Jinx's soulmate..."
Everything went black.
