Career Suicide

by BonnieRest

Piper never asked for much. She never asked for Jason to take time off as Praetor of New Rome just to go on a date with her. She never asked Annabeth to drop her dates with Percy and hang out with her. And she most definitely did not ask to be transported seventy years in the past with Leo and Nico at a school called Hogwarts. But that was just her luck, right?

1. Prologue

Prologue

Piper ran down the corridor, her breath coming in short gasps, her body feeling heavier and heavier with every step. Piper knew she had to keep going. If she stopped, he would catch up, and she knew that any secrets she had left would be revealed. Her footsteps were hard against the marble floor, the click-clocks of her heeled flats were creating a fast-beating rhythm.

"Just a few more steps, just one more turn," she muttered, but she was too late.

As she turned the corner she came face-to-face with the person she was desperately trying to avoid.

"Piper," he whispered. His mouth curled into a twisted smirk. Piper closed her eyes in frustration and bit her bottom lip.

"Leave me alone, Tom," she said. Every word was exaggerated as Piper tried to emphasize her point. It was the first time in days since she had used her Charmspeak. Piper was desperate for any solution, and she was praying to any of the gods that were listening to help her out.

Tom let out an amused chuckle. Piper wanted to groan; it didn't work. The power of Aphrodite seemed to have no effect on Tom, he was simply unaffected by love.

"Did you really think you could 'Charmspeak' me, Mclean?" he asked. His smirk was growing bigger by the second.

Piper didn't answer.

"Well, then, there's only one thing left to do." Tom declared.

He reached into his robes and pulled out a long, slender wand. He raised it up, leaving it in line with Piper's heart. Piper's kaleidoscopic eyes widened as she realized she was helpless in her current situation.

"Tom please!" she cried out the same moment he coolly said, "Avada Kedavra."

Author's Note: I've had this idea in my head for awhile, so I decided to put it into words. This is just the prologue, so it's a little short, sorry! I hope you enjoyed this little prologue and you stick around for the rest of the story. I have the story written down, but my updates will depend on the time I have to type them up. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this little prologue. I'll post the official first chapter after I'm done editing it. Enjoy! (:
