Piper's POV
I hear him calling my name. Somehow I hear his voice calling me to come back. I hear my boyfriend calling my name, telling me to stop, but I just can't. It's taken over my body. It's not mother earth, no, it's my hobbies. I also hear Leo and Annabeth. Calling my name, calling me to get away from the edge of the 25 story building, looking down, it doesn't seem that far.
"Piper, please get back here!" Jason called. "Piper, I love you!"
I could hear their footsteps coming after me, yelling at me to stop. If only I had the chance alone, all by myself. I turned back to them, glaring. They were all running towards me. I got pink dust around my feet, waist and neck. I tied Leo from his feet and hands with the dust, as did Annabeth. I didn't have enough for Jason, no, somehow I couldn't tie him.
"Piper, this isn't you!" Leo screamed. "Get out of her!"
"Piper, we love you. Help us!" Annabeth yelled trying to get herself free. I watched Jason run closer and closer to me. I turned around and looked down again. That's when I took a step, slipped and caught my death sentence.
My life drained in my eyes. From the start of the feelings, to this very second. This is how it started:
Flashback
I waved everyone at camp goodbye along with Annabeth, Leo and Jason. I stood next to Annabeth. She was tall, long blonde hair and tense grey eyes that were now filled with happiness and lose. Leo was also next to me. He waved to his sisters and then left my side, making Jason next to me. His hand brushed over mine. "Oops, sorry." He said. As he left my hand cold, I grabbed his fingers, laced mine through his and held them tight.
"Don't be." I looked out to the camp again, and found that they were gone. I smiled and looked at my hand. Jason had also laced his through mine and held them tight. "I'm going to check on Annabeth." I said walking away. I went under the deck, finding Annabeth looking out of her window in her room. The room was first class, like the Titanic. Cream coloured walls, marble floor her property and prints. Mine was the same except I had my property and instead of the prints, I left the wall bare.
"How are you doing?" I said sitting next to her on the king sized bed. Annabeth put on a sad smile.
"I'm fine. What about you, I saw you and Jason holding hands."
I laughed. "We're getting somewhere. I'm not so sure though." I gave Annabeth a hug and left her alone. I decided to go to my room. The walls were dull, I liked it that way but Leo put too much effort in the rooms. I pulled out my dagger and looked at my reflection. Just the same Piper, but then I saw myself doing something. I was sitting in my room, staring at my wrists. I shook my head and out it back.
"Piper," Jason walked in my room. "Hey, you okay, you look a little pale."
"I'm fine." I lied. I wanted to know what I was going to do next. "The colour will come back soon."
"Do you get sea sick?"
"Yeah," I lied again. I put on a sad smiled and leaned on his shoulder. "That's it."
Jason slowly held me in his arms. I shifted closer to him, getting warmth from his body onto mine. Annabeth came rushing in. "We've got a bite." She joked.
I walked out of Jason's arms while Annabeth went back up to main deck. "You coming?" I held out my hand. Jason laughed and took it, pulling me up the stars. The monster wasn't that big. It was a girl, well half girl half fish. She was actually quite beautiful, if she wasn't trying to kill us. I went to the left side and looked out. A whirlpool was dragging the boat into the water. "Leo, get this ship to fly!" I yelled. Leo rushed back to the wheel, opening the wings of the boat. I watched Jason and Annabeth fight for our lives. I tried to get towards them, to help with the battle, but I couldn't move. All I could do was look and breathe and watch them fight without me.
"Piper, we need you!" Annabeth called out. I tried moving my legs, but instead of helping me, they let me fall to the deck. I tried dragging my arms to my dagger, but they also fell on the deck as well. "Piper!" Annabeth and Jason yelled at the same time. Annabeth put on her hat and created a diversion, while Jason fought at the front. Leo had finally lifted the ship to the air, and about three centre meters away from the water. The monster barked like a dog and went back into the water.
"Scylla," I whispered. I still couldn't move my body. I wonder what happened. "Scylla did this."
"Piper," Jason held me, he lifted me into his lap and stroked my hair out of my face. "What happened?"
"I don't know." I replied. "I was trying to get to you but," I looked down at my body. "I failed."
Hours went past, and I could walk again. I kept it easy in case I fell again and Jason wouldn't leave my side. "I'm fine, Jason." I said sitting at a table in the dinning room for dinner. "I swear this is the Titanic." I said looking around the ship.
"Nope," Leo said handing me a plate with steamed vegetables and a small apple pie. "But I agree with you, it does look a lot like the Titanic."
Annabeth laughed. "What's the Titanic?"
I laughed. "The Titanic is a massive ship that was going around the world but it crashed into an iceberg and broke in half, falling to its depths."
"Oh, wow. Poor people that were on there."
"Millions of people died that night, there's a movie about it as well. I can give it to you when we get home."
"Thanks, Piper." We all ate in silence. I didn't have much of my food, only took two bites and I gave my apple pie to Leo.
"You sure you're done?" Leo asked. "You didn't eat much." He took my plate and waited for me to answer.
"I'm okay; I'm just tired that's all." I lied. I wasn't feeling well and after the talk about Titanic, I feel like I'm going to be ripped in half and plummet to my death very soon. "I'm going to bed." I quickly walked out of the room and into mine, chanced into my pyjamas and set myself underneath the covers.
I dreamt that I was in the corner of my cabin. I stared at my hands with a horrid looked on my face. Streams of blood fell down my finger tips and onto my legs. My dagger was covered with blood as well. I think it was my blood to be honest. I suddenly got an evil type look on my face and laughed like nothing happened. I went into the bathroom and washed off my arms and legs.
I woke up with sweat beading my forehead. I looked at my hands –nothing. Legs –nothing. Dagger –nothing. I sighed in relief and brushed my teeth, hair and change into something warm and nice –skinny jeans and a shirt. I went out to the main deck to see that it was still night time. I went to the nose of the ship and stood on the railing, like Elizabeth does in Titanic before throwing the necklace into the sea. The wind blew in my hair, whipped my clothing on my skin and made me feel like nothing was going to happen. Now, in the next scene, I die.
I quickly changed my thought to my dream. What am I? I asked myself. Questions flooded in my head that I needed to answer. There was one that stuck around me like glue 'Am I a murderer?' No! Why would I think something like that?
I looked at my wrists and saw nothing. Maybe I did want something on my wrists? Or maybe I'm going crazy?
"Piper?" I turned to Leo. He stood next to me as I stared at my wrists. "Are you okay, Beauty Queen?" I didn't answer. Leo took my shoulders and steered me to my room, the whole time I was looking at my wrists. I knew what I needed to do, I just didn't know why. "Get some sleep, Pipes." Leo put the covers over my body and left the door open. I thought about starting right now, but couldn't stop looking at them. Why did I want to do this?
I don't own PJO The Titanic just the story and story line. R&R
Love you!
