Piper McLean was lonely, poor, and weak because of the emperor Caligula. Jason was gone, her friends weren't with her. All she had was her father, who was as miserable as she was. The only thing that could keep her alive was the memories of her friends that had stayed into her mind, she would never forget about them.
"Breakfast!" Tristan McLean called from downstair. The two things that made her the most miserable was that her father was using the rest of their money mainly for her, and that she couldn't see her friends.
Piper came down to see waffles, butter, and even a syrup container, it probably would be cheap for the old Tristan McLean, the cost would be as small as Earth compared to the Sun, but that was before.
"Dad... you don't have to do this!" Piper said, if her father was sad, she would be too. He was the only one that she had to care about her and love her right now, and he was using everything he could.
Tristan laughed, "Piper... This isn't just for you, honey. We can both be happy, but... Grandpa Tom used to tell me that the glue to hold your world is your friends and family And.. you're my family..." He hugged her, "You'll do fine. You must live!"
"Jeez, Dad, you sound like you know that there are m- never mind, but thanks," Piper laughed as tears ran down her face, "I miss Jason..."
Tristan kissed his daughter on her cheek, "You'll see him soon, you will, now eat..." She was hungry, the food was delicious, and it was gone in a couple of seconds.
"I'll be going outside for now," Tristan said, "Have fun and be happy!" That made her completely alone, and angry. How could Tristan's helpers betray him?
Your father is more important than you think, a voice rang in her head, she knew who it was right away, and her presence scared Piper, wasn't she scattered? There was no way they were having another war, nope!
He is the key to death, Gaea told her, The key to my revenge... I was so close!
"Go away!" Piper screamed, what was the Earth goddess doing here, "You're not going to do anything with my father, not in this situation!"
Gaea laughed, and the windows of the cheap house cracked, the voice echoed over and over again until Piper almost... no, she couldn't do anything.
I'm not going to do anything to your father that'll harm him, unless... you'll see soon enough, and your friends will be too late to help.
