Piper's POV
Why me? Apollo, why did you have to listen to me sing in my room from Olympus? Why are you the god of songs? You might be thinking stuff like 'Where the hell is this going?' Or 'What is she talking about' Or 'Just get on with the story already!' I'll tell you what happened, but you have to promise not to laugh when I'm done. If you do laugh, I'll get Hazel to give you a special diamond.
It went like this.
Flashback
I was walking around the outskirts of camp Half Blood. I just had an argument with Jason and Leo. Ever since the drinking and drugs, they've been on my back. They keep reminding me about the night. It was one night! One night at a party!
Flashback in a flashback
I had just met someone. They offered me a drink, spiking it with a drug. One thing led to another and then Jason and Leo found me. They kept an eye on me for the rest of the night. The guy who I met gave me a drink, and Leo and Jason saw him put a tablet in the bottle. They ran out, punched the guy and dragged me home.
End of flashback in a flashback
Back to the first flashback
I looked around at my ground. I decided that I felt sick, so I ran back to my cabin. I slammed the door and then went back out. I ran to the Apollo cabin.
"Hey Piper," One said. Dunno his name. "What are you doing?"
"I need a guitar." I said.
"Okay, let me just get you one." I followed him inside. He opened a door to a massive music room. "What type do you need?"
"Can I just practise in here?" I asked admiring the room.
"Sure, I have to go and do something. Will you be alright?" He asked. "No drugs? How many drinks have you had?"
"You too?"
"Its fine, I'm just messing with ya." The guy smiled and left me alone in the music room I went to the keyboard and started playing, getting a beat up and out of my body. It was a kind of beat that you could dance too, but not a beat that you could do anything with.
I ran to the drums, and recorded the beat on the drums. I put the keyboard and drums together. I was surprised at how it worked together perfectly. I ran to the electric guitar and played the recorded drums and keyboard, getting the guitar into place.
Next, I put the guitar around my shoulder and went to the music sheets and just started adding lyrics, not actually knowing what it's about. I put it all together, sung the lyrics, played on the drums and made sure that everything was perfect.
"PERFECT!" I stopped singing and looked at Apollo. His hands were in the air. "That was perfect, Piper!"
"What are you talking about?" I asked scared.
"You are going to sing that to the gods tomorrow night." He said. "I don't care if you have plans, you have to cancel. I can get my kids to do the drums, keyboard and all the other musical crap you've forgot to put in. All you have to do is sing."
"I-I can't do that."
"I don't care." Apollo's face lit up even more. "I can get you to sing it at dinner! The whole camp will know your talent!"
"I don't care what you think!" Apollo sung before vanishing.
"I can't do it, Apollo!"
NEXT DAY, DINNER
7:30
MESS HALL
Apollo stood at the front of the Mess Hall. I was sp scared to be honest. I'm going to have to sing in front of the gods and the camp. I looked out the curtain; there were also minor gods there! SHIT!
"And for tonight, Piper will be singing one of her very own, songs!" I blocked all the noise that came when the curtain came up, showing off my band and me standing at the front.
I stood with my mouth open, not able to speak. The music came on, and I felt so powerful –like nothing could stop me.
I frowned but kept singing the lyrics I wrote.
Half way through . . . Okay, at the second beat, Apollo cut me off.
I blocked out the rest of the noise, only looking at their faces.
"I can make that into a music video!" I heard someone say. Oh, please don't Apollo. "Yes! Tomorrow we'll practise the routine, Hephaestus can set up, Aphrodite can do the costumes, and I can pick the dancers!"
"You were going to make me sing," I said in the microphone. "Isn't that enough?"
"When you've lived for a really long time you get good ideas!" All the gods vanished again.
The next day was mostly a blur. Not only did we get taut the routine, but today we also did the costume fittings and did the video. One thing I can only say: peacocks.
The following night, we started to set up the video so that everyone can see me dance to the song I made up. Yay.
Once everyone was here, eating and socialising with each other Apollo went to the stage.
"Tonight, we're going to play the music video that we made –"
"Apollo! We've got a problem!" Aphrodite said. "We never added Piper singing the lyrics!"
"Oh come on!" I yelled. "Can't you –?"
"Piper sweetie, let the gods handle the problem."
I turned to the crowd. "I hope you never have to experience what I am right now." I smiled and walked off the stage.
"We're doing it tomorrow!"
Today was just really long. All I had to do was a couple of more scenes and record me singing in the Apollo cabin. "Can we please just forget about this whole thing and be normal again?" I asked.
"Nah, normals too over rated." Apollo said doing stuff on the computer. He started playing the music video, and added me singing in there. "Want to watch."
"Will I like it?"
"Yes, Piper."
"I'm going to bed."
"We're playing it tonight at dinner."
"I'm sure you'll find a problem!" I yelled while walking to my cabin.
CAMP HALF-BLOOD
7:30
MESS HALL
PIPER'S DEATH SENTENCE
Now, I was just bored. They played the music video. It was actually quite good, but like I said before, Peacock!
Once my nightmare was over, people started yelling. "That isn't her voice!" Or "She can't sing!" and shit like that. I decided to grab a microphone and went to the stage. My band came up and gave me support.
For those who don't know me
I can get a bit crazy
Have to get my way, yep
24 hours a day 'cause I'm hot like that
Every guy, everywhere
Just gives me mad attention
Like I'm under inspection
I always gets a ten 'cause I'm built like that
I go through guys like money flyin' out the hands
They try to change me but they realize they can't
And every tomorrow is a day I never plan
If you gonna be my man understand
I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't, I can't, can't be tamed
I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be, can't, I can't be tamed
If there is a question about my intentions
I'll tell ya, I'm not here to sell ya
Or tell you to go to hell
I'm not a brat like that
I'm like a puzzle
But all of my pieces are jagged
If you can understand this
We can make some magic, I'm on like that
I wanna fly, I wanna drive, I wanna go
I wanna be a part of something I don't know
And if you try to hold me back, I might explode
Baby, by now you should know
I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't, I can't, can't be tamed
I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be, can't, I can't be tamed
Well I'm not a trick you play
I'm wired a different way
I'm not a mistake, I'm not a fake
It's set in my DNA
Don't change me
Don't change me
Don't change me
Don't change me
I can't be tamed
I wanna fly, I wanna drive, I wanna go
I wanna be a part of something I don't know
And if you try to hold me back I might explode
Baby, by now you should know
I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't, I can't, can't be tamed
I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be, can't, I can't be tamed
I sung. Everyone was surprised –and so was I. It's not as scary as I thought it would be. I might keep this up; Drew looked like an elephant just stepped on her face.
"Have a great evening." I said. My band and I walked off the stage and out the door. "So much for she can't sing." I muttered to myself.
