Hope you enjoyed the chapter and feel free to review! I felt like the number of the Angels was too high so I changed it. Instead of being ninety thousand, I changed it to sixty two thousand, making it seem more balanced. I also realized that Aether and Hemera are the children of Nyx and Erebus, so I had to fix that. Anyway, enough of me talking, hope you enjoy the chapter!
Piper POV
Flashback
"Jason said he'll be here, but where is he?" I muttered, looking around on the beach till I saw a figure sitting on the sand. I walked towards the figure, thinking it was Jason but as I got closer, I realized it was Percy.
"Hey Pipes, what brings you here?" He said turning around, his sea green eyes sparkling with mirth and happiness as I smiled "Just looking for Jason, how about you?" I said as he raised his hand, the water forming into a little ball as he rolled it around in his hands "Waiting for Annabeth, I was thinking about proposing." he said showing me a ring.
"You're going to propose?" I said in shock and happiness as he nodded, smiling "Yes, I've tried iris messaging her but nothing has gone through, almost like Iris doesn't want me to see her." he said, his eyebrows furrowed together in thought 'He actually looks cute like that' I thought till I realized what I just said as I quickly shook those thoughts out of my head.
"Sit with me Piper, it's only six. Dinner doesn't start until seven, unless you want to listen to Drew constantly blabber on about who the hottest boy in camp is." he said patting the ground next to him as I sat down beside him, leaning my head on his shoulder in a brother/sister manner "What made you think of proposing?" I said curious as he spoke "Well as demigods, we aren't really known to live long lives and after Tartarus I just want her by my side now more than ever and what better way to do that than to propose?" he said as I nodded, agreeing with his reason.
"I really wish Jason would propose. We're nearly twenty one and he still hasn't proposed." I said sadly as he turned to me "Give him time Piper, he and the others chose godhood while you and I didn't. I didn't want to be bound by Ancient Laws so I turned mine into a offer, giving Hades and Hestia their thrones back. You still have yours." he said as I nodded.
"I know, but I just don't know what to do Percy. I don't know why everyone ignores me like I don't even exist." I said while he nodded in agreement, eyes darkening "I don't know why the others are acting like that also. Even Jason ignores you at sometimes." he said as I nodded, feeling like me and Jason are getting further and further apart.
"Do you think he's cheating on me with Reyna?" I said as Percy looked at me in shock "What makes you think that Pipes?" he said turning his body so he was facing me "I just feel like he's doing something behind my back. I don't know if it's part of my senses as a daughter of Aphrodite or what but I feel so lonely. You're the only one who still acts like I exist." I said as Percy interlaced his hand with mine as I felt a spark when his hand touched mine as I looked into his eyes.
Unlike Jason's, his eyes were like the sea, a beautiful sea green that looked like the waves were actually in them, darkening whenever he gets angry or become dull whenever he's sad or fails to do something. Right then and there did I realize just how much Percy resembles Poseidon in every way, sometimes even in power.
I don't know what made me to do it, maybe it was my mom trying to make mine and Percy's life 'interesting' but I know deep down in my heart that it was of my own will.
Slowly, mine and Percy's face got closer and closer till we were only meters away from each other's faces. Like reading each other's mind, I pressed my lips against his, tasting a salty scent as he kissed me back, wrapping his arms around my waist as he fell back into the sand, pulling me with him as I wrapped my hands in his hair, feeling a warm feeling spread from my heart all over my body and I realized exactly what it was.
I was in love with Percy Jackson. 'But I love Jason, don't I?' I thought as we pulled away, gasping for breath as we stayed there, wrapped in each other's embrace, neither one of us not wanting to move. "Percy." I said, not wanting to say that I just kissed my boyfriend's best friend. "We should-" I got interrupted as Percy pressed his lips against mine again as I instantly kissed him back, knowing that this is very very wrong.
"Oh honey, there's nothing wrong with this. This is true love, something that you don't have with Jason and something he doesn't have with Annabeth. Both of you are perfect for each other." I heard my mom say in my head as we pulled apart again as he wrapped his arms around me as I put mine on his chest as we laid there in silence.
"But this is wrong mother, Percy's my best friend." I argued back as she giggled "Friends with benefits my dear Piper, you are in love with him but so am I and so is nearly every goddess on Olympus." she said as I made gagging sounds "Piper, are you okay?" Percy said as I looked at him and nodded "Yes Percy I'm fine, thank you for asking." I said as I leaned my head on his muscular chest as he stroked my hair.
"You're definitely in love, dear. Just admit it, you and Percy are perfect for each other." She said happily "You said the same thing about me and Jason." I said as she went silent for a few minutes.
I thought she was gone, so I closed my eyes but she spoke again "Things change dear, Jason has...changed since he's became a god. He's becoming like his half-brother Hercules and his father." she said as I started to think of the worse case scenarios "Is he cheating on me?" I said quietly as she didn't reply back for the longest time.
When she spoke, she sounded like an actual mother which surprised me "It isn't my position to say Piper, but I will say this. I can't make someone love someone else. Like I told Percy when he went on the quest to rescue Artemis, a seed can't grow without water. They have to already love that person in order for me to do anything. Once you find Jason, I'll tell you right now that I didn't tamper with your love life. This I swear on the River Styx." she said as I felt her presence leave my mind 'What did she mean' I thought as Percy tensed then quickly released me and stood up, with a look of guilt and shame etched on his features.
"Piper, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-" Knowing that he would've continued, I quickly cut him off "It's fine, I don't know what happened but let's just put it behind us, alright?" I said smiling but he just nodded, fiddling with the ring that he got for Annabeth "I'm going to head to my cabin, I'll see you at dinner." he muttered as he quickly stood up and walking to the cabins.
As he walked away, I stared at his retreating form till he disappeared as I stood up, letting my thoughts wander to what my mom said and what on earth made me kiss Percy. "Whatever, best I just put this behind me and not ever bring it up again." I said to myself as I stood up till I finally realized where Jason was at "Of course he would be in his cabin." I said slapping my forehead at my stupidity as I headed towards the Zeus cabin.
Linebreak
As I neared his cabin, I was getting a sinking feeling in my stomach that seemed to grow with every step I take 'Why am I acting like this?' I thought as I heard sounds in his cabin which confused me as I opened his door to a horrifying scene.
Jason Grace, my boyfriend was on top of Annabeth Chase, Percy's girlfriend whom was cheating on him with my boyfriend. "Jason." I whispered in shock and hurt as Jason quickly scrambled off Annabeth, desperately trying to get his clothes on as I slowly backed away from the both of them. Feeling my heart shatter "Percy was going to propose to you...and you go and do this." I said gesturing to the both of them as Jason spoke "Piper, it's not what it looks like-" he said as I whirled on him "Not what it looks like." I hissed as I balled my hands into fists "This is exactly what it looks like, I should've listened to Achelous. You children of Zeus are all the same, Roman or not." I said clenching my eyes shut as tears threatened to spill from them but I refused to let him see.
I turned around to walk away but I felt someone grab my hand as I clenched my free hand and brought it around, making contact with something as a gasp of pain was heard as I opened them and saw Annabeth on the floor, clutching her bruised eye "Percy was going to propose." I said as her eyes widened "He falls into hell for you and this is how you repay him? By screwing his best friend behind his back, Athena should be ashamed of a child like you. I certainly would've." I said storming out of the Zeus cabin, ignoring the worried and confused looks that I was getting as tears slowly started to come out.
I didn't know where I was going but all I know was I was getting away from them as I appeared on Half-Blood Hill, gazing down at the moving campers and the large crowd gathered around the Zeus cabin, Percy among the midst of them.
I continued staring down at the campers till I realized that I was forgotten, betrayed by Jason and ignored by everyone except Percy, whose been through so much and didn't even know that his girlfriend was cheating on him for who knows how long. "Hello." a voice said as I spun around, looking for whoever said that.
"Whose there?" I said, unsheathing my dagger as the voice spoke again "No need to pull that out Ms. Mclean." the voice said as my dagger was suddenly pulled from my hand as it flew towards a girl around the age of nineteen with a pitch black dress on as she caught it, inspecting it "Who are you?" I said warily as she looked at me and I finally got a good look at her eyes, which startled me and entranced me.
Hey eyes were pitch black like a void of space with little stars and constellations moving around in them. "Who am I? Well it's simple, I'm Chaos, Creator of the Universe and I have an offer for you Piper Mclean."
Flashback ends
"Piper!" I heard as I was shook roughly, snapping me out of my memories. "What?" I said as I looked at Hailey and the others "You okay? You sort of went into some type of flashback." Hailey said as I nodded, but both them and I know that I'm not okay. "What's happened?" I said as Malcolm spoke "Nothing much, everyone's still freaking out over what happened." he said gesturing to the people around him as I looked at Percy and the others.
"Did they say anything?" I said as they shook their heads "No, it's only been a couple of minutes. Chaos is trying to calm everyone down but as you can see, it isn't working." he said as Percy looked at Leo and said something as he nodded, grinning as he rubbed his hands together. The same way he did whenever he was about to cause trouble "This isn't going to be good." I said as they looked at me confused. "What do you mean?" Hailey said as I went to speak but lightning and thunder shook the sky violently as everyone instantly shut up and looked at Ouranos in shock and fear but he shook his head, a small smile on his face.
"It wasn't me." He said putting his hands up "You guys wouldn't shut up." we heard as everyone turned to see Leo rolling lightning around in his hands, a grin on his face. "Thank you Leo." Percy said as Leo nodded "Of course Perce, anything for you." he said as Percy raised an eyebrow "Anything?" he questioned as Leo paled and quickly shook his head "Not anything, but most of the time." he said as Percy smiled and looked towards us.
"I can tell that everyone is probably about to explode with questions, so let's all sit down and do this in a proper manner." He said as Chaos nodded "I will explain as much as possible." she said as everyone quickly sat down as she looked at Percy "What? Don't look at me like that. You're the one who wanted to exploit us in the first place. You answer the questions." he said as she glared at him but nodded nonetheless as he smiled and sat back down in his throne as did the others.
"So whose first?" Percy said as nearly everyone raised their hands, me included "Alright let's see." he said, searching the crowd till he pointed at a girl in the back "You, in between the blonde and brunette." he said as she stood up and smiled shyly at Percy as he smiled back, making her turn red. 'He really doesn't know how much of an effect he has on women' I thought as she spoke "Hello, uh, well,-" she spluttered for words as Percy looked at her in amusement "Cat got your tongue?" he questioned as she quickly shook her head and regained her composure and spoke "How long have you all been..well, here?" she said as he spoke "Seven hundred years, we all came here about three months after the Army of Chaos was created." he said as she nodded as he searched for another person.
"Pick the youngster, right there Perce." Lucas said pointing at Miguel, one of the youngest soldiers in our army "Alright young man, what's your question?" he said as Miguel spoke "No offense to any of your lieutenants sir, but aren't they supposed to be dead?" he said as they grimaced and nodded "Yes, but Chaos did me a favor and brought back some good friends of mine. And I like you, calls me sir. Maybe you should all start doing that." he said looking at the lieutenants as they rolled their eyes "I don't think so Percy." Calypso said as he pouted but nodded, turning back to us.
"Why are you all a champion of a primordial?" Ashley said suddenly as they all looked at her "We didn't ask for it. They gave it to us." Percy said as someone else spoke "I thought you were on earth. How did you end up with Chaos?" they said as Percy froze as everyone looked at him "Got bored on earth. Needed something else to do. After fighting in war, it was hard to get away from, like a drug. Chaos offered me a position and I took it." he said as Mike spoke "How is it you're a champion of six primordials plus Chaos?" he said with a tint of jealousy in his voice but Percy must've noticed as he narrowed his eyes.
"That's a question even I don't know. I appeared and they just gave it to me." He said moving on to the next person but he spoke again "That doesn't answer my question." he said as Percy looked at him "Didn't I just tell you I don't know? Maybe it was out of respect or to help me out but I don't know, you're going to have ask them yourselves if you want the full truth." he said moving on but the idiot continued to pressure him as Percy clenched his jaw. "Can you please shut up? Even we don't know why we have these blessings and you aren't helping us out here." one of the lieutenants said, glaring at Mike.
"Mike's going to get himself killed. I don't think their happy right now." Malcolm whispered while Machai shrugged his shoulders "Oh well, he made his own death bed now he must lie in it." he said as Percy was about to say something but Chaos spoke first "Mike, please sit down. They just got back and are tired and you aren't helping out." she said as he fumed silently, sitting down as Percy sighed and spoke "Well Chaos, we're going to leave and get some rest. Been a long three years." he said standing up as she spoke "You can leave after this next announcement." she said turning back to us as Percy and the others walked to the primordials, their thrones disappearing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after you finish you lunch we will head to the Angels headquarters." She said as Percy's head as did the others snapped towards her, looking at her in shock "What? No! Chaos, I completely disagree with that, there's a reason you kept us apart." he said as she shook her head "You need the help Percy. You and the others know it, but none of you will admit it." she said basically ending that conversation as he sent a murderous glare towards her but she ignored it.
"Piper, will you bring your best healers?" She said as I nodded "Of course Lady Chaos, but why may I ask?" I said as she spoke "Percy's being a idiot and won't admit he needs help. Plus most of his soldiers need help since they don't have enough healers to go around." she said as Percy's glare intensified "It isn't that Chaos, I don't want to burden others with our problems. We can handle it on our own, like we've been doing for the past seven hundred years." he said but she ignored him. "Of course Lady Chaos. Audrey, go grab some of our best healers, please?" I said as she nodded "Chaos, may I speak to you for a minute?" he said grabbing her hand and dragging her away before she even had a chance to answer while we stared at them in shock while the primordials and lieutenants all had a knowing look on their faces.
"I hope that I don't walk in on what I saw today in the throne room." Lucas said shaking his head "They do it again?" Aether said while Lucas nodded "I walked in at the worst time too. Can't get the image out of my head." he said as they all shook their heads "If their so in love with each other, then why don't they get back together?" Lucas said as my eyes widened as I looked around to see if anyone else heard that but no one did, they were all focused on talking about the Angels of Chaos or Percy. 'Percy and Chaos were in a relationship' I thought in shock as Silena spoke "I know for sure they would but there's one obstacle in the way." She said looking at me as Lucas and the others followed her line of sight to me as I quickly looked away, pretending to eat my food.
When I was positive they turned their gazes away from me, I peeked over my shoulder and saw them speaking again "I'll go grab them since Lucas is being a baby over a stupid kiss." Zoe said while Lucas looked at her "Hey ask anyone here. Walking in on those two when they're in their..moment is the worst thing that anyone could ever see." he said while the rest nodded in agreement "I'll grab them." Erebus said as he shadow travelled away "Percy's life is seriously screwed up isn't it?" Lucas said while they nodded as I tuned in on Maria's conversation with everyone else "Hey Piper, what do you think of about all this?" she said as everyone looked at me.
"I honestly don't know, but I will say that I was surprised." I said as a thought came to me as I looked at Machai "I thought you said Percy was dead?" I said, smirking as he glared at me.
Percy POV
I dragged Chaos out of the room and into a hallway, looking both ways to see if it's clear which it was as I turned to Chaos "What were you thinking Chaos? Bringing them to our headquarters is only going to make things worse instead of helping, and you know it." I said as she spoke "Percy, three of your companies suffered terribly while the rest were a close second. Only Alpha and Gamma were okay, if you don't have healers, you're going to lose a large amount of your forces due to blood loss or infections and I know how you get when you lose even one of your soldiers." she said as I turned away, knowing that she was right.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I said, staring at pictures of the Army of Chaos's greatest achievements and who achieved them "Like I said before, I didn't want you to be discovered early on." she said as I snorted, knowing she's lying. "Chaos, tell me the truth." I said as it went silent till she sighed and spoke in a low voice "Okay, I was a little jealous and didn't know what would happen if you knew she was here. But that's half of the reason and you know the other half." she said as I nodded, smirking "I'm sorry Chaos, what did you say? I didn't quite hear you." I said turning towards her, putting my hand to my ear and walking towards her. "Percy." She said warningly as I spoke "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" I said getting closer till I right in front of her.
"You know, sometimes I really hate you." She said as I smiled "You just say that to convince yourself but deep inside, you know how you really feel." I said resting my forehead on hers and wrapping my arms around her waist while she wrapped her hands around my neck "What if Luke walks in again?" she whispered as I laughed "He'll be fine. He's a big boy now." I said but then frowned "Well I hope he's a big boy, he sure doesn't act like it." I said as she laughed and pressed her lips against mine as I kissed her back. I could've sworn I heard a snicker somewhere but I pushed it to the back of my mind as I gently pushed Chaos against the wall as she wrapped her legs around my waist.
"Alright you two. I think that's enough." We heard as I immediately let Chaos go as I stumbled back and hit a chair and fell straight onto my butt as Erebus walked out of the shadows, grinning at me as I glared at him in hate "If you two are going to go that far at least find a room and make sure its soundproof will ya?" he said with his grin still etched on his face as Chaos tried to glare at him but it wasn't very scary when your face is redder than Aphrodite's lipstick and that's saying something because she has some really red lipstick.
"What are you doing here?" I said standing up as he smirked at me "Came to get you two and make sure some things didn't get out of hand, luckily, I got here in time." he said as I vapor travelled behind him and grabbed him in a chokehold, making him gag. The first time I tried to choke him was embarrassing because you can't choke someone whose made up of shadows, literally. But I also wasn't a champion of Nyx or Erebus at the time, only Aether and Hemera.
"Percy, please let go of Erebus." Chaos said as Erebus nodded, or he tried to but I shook my head "Not until he swears on your name not to reveal what just happened here." I said as Erebus said something but I couldn't hear him "What was that?" I said as he spoke again "I may be made up of shadows but I still need to breath." he wheezed out as I looked at Chaos as she made eye contact with me and sighed, knowing that I'm not going to let him go until he agrees. "Erebus, just agree please." She said as Erebus shook his head as I squeezed tighter, making his pale skin turn blue "Erebus." she said more sternly with an edge to her tone "Okay." he wheezed out as I released him as he took huge breaths.
"Fine, I, Erebus, Primordial of Darkness swear on Chaos's name to not reveal anything that happened here." He said as the room darkened to the point it'll be difficult for even Nyx and Erebus to see while the ground rumbled slightly till it stopped. "Tell them we'll be there shortly." I said but he shook his head, grinning "Can't do that. Who knows what you two will do if someone isn't watching over you." he said as a portal opened up beneath him, sucking him in as it snapped shut "Well, that was unexpected." I said turning towards Chaos only to meet a pair of soft lips as I kissed her back.
Maybe I can thank the Fates just this once
Piper POV
About ten minutes after Erebus disappeared, he appeared, but not in the way we expected. He fell out of a portal but his clothes were wrinkled and he was taking deep breaths, like he was suffocating "What happened to you?" Ouranos said as Erebus stood up "Can't say, Percy made me swear on Chaos's name not to say anything." he said as Chaos walked back in the rom while Percy walked out of a portal, appearing beside Lucas and the others, glaring at Erebus.
"Dude, what took you so long?" I heard Leo say "Had an argument with Chaos." he muttered before looking at Chaos "Chaos, I take it you will bring the others to us?" he said while she nodded "We'll see you there then. See you later primordials." Percy said as he and the lieutenants all disappeared in different colored flashes while Chaos looked at us.
"Once we arrive, please don't touch anything and don't try to start a fight with any of them. Their very...how should I put this?" She said looking at the primordials "Defensive." Ananke said while she nodded "Their very defensive over their things and each other." she said looking at Mike when she said this "Alright, Piper, may your team and the healers please come over here?" she said as we nodded and walked over to her.
"Ready to go?" She said as the primordials all flashed away as she summoned a portal "Step through." she said gesturing to the portal as we all walked through it.
Percy POV
"This is stupid." Carly said, kicking a chair into the wall, shattering it. "Please fix that." I said as her eyes glowed golden as the chair fixed it as we all sat down. "How do we explain this to the Angels?" Luke said as I shook my head "I don't know how, Luke. We'll have to break it to them slowly, we've also been kept apart because of mockery and contempt. A large amount of our soldiers are those who couldn't make it in the Army of Chaos, due to abuse from others or mockery." I said rubbing a wound I received on my chest "But look at them now." Charles said while we nodded "Just going to have to deal with it, Beckendorf. We'll start with Alpha and then move up the ladder." I said as they all nodded, their wings retracting into their back.
"Remember the first time that we retracted our wings?' Madison said while we all looked at Luke, knowing she's just poking fun at him "It hurt!" he exclaimed while we all rolled our eyes "You could barely hear it. Your wings didn't even twitch, it was an audible click, but you could barely hear it." Zoe said, smirking as Luke glared at her "Remember he was streaming out curses that would make a sailor blush?" Ethan said as we all burst out in laughter as light suddenly entered the room, catching everyone by surprise except for me, Michael, Lee, and the other champions of Aether and Hemera "Dude! You can't take a joke can you?" Andrew said, rubbing his eyes "Yes Lukey, can't take a joke?" Elise said, making us laugh while he turned red in embarrassment.
"Looks like Luke likes his new pet name." Bianca said as Aether appeared in our living room "Sup Aether?" Michael said, tossing a rubber ball at Luke, making him growl "Bad dog." Silena said, slapping his head, making us and Aether burst out in laughter. Once it finally died down he spoke "Chaos is here with the healers." he said "Already?" Andrew said, standing up "Yes Andrew. Their already here." he said as we nodded "How you feeling Percy?" Aether said as I looked at him "Okay, I guess." I said as he nodded, sympathetically "I understand seeing her brings up what happened. But her seeing you also brings up the same thing, you know this right?" he said while I nodded. "That's why I think it would be best if we stayed apart." I said turning away from him.
"See you there." He said flashing away as everyone looked at me "Ready to go?" I said as they all nodded as we all disappeared in different colored flashes.
Linebreak
"And these are the houses. Home to all twenty four companies." Chaos said taking Piper and her team, plus the healers through the headquarters while we watched them from a rooftop. "I can already tell this isn't going to be well for us." Luke said, gazing at the soldier who I nearly killed "That Mike dude is an arrogant and pompous fool. He's pushing his luck with us, the Angels won't take so kindly to him, especially those from Epsilon Company." Calypso said "And surprisingly, Silena is in charge of that company." Luke said as Silena whirled on him, her kaleidoscope eyes blazing with fury as her twin sickles appeared in her hands. "I meant it in a good way." He said quickly but she continued to glare at him till she turned away from him.
"Careful Lukey, Silena is deadly with those twin sickles. She can nearly defeat Percy when she's angry." Elise said warningly while we nodded "And Percy's nearly unbeatable, even the primordials can't defeat him." Beckendorf said as we continued watching "You can tell their jealous of us. We have our own planet, but not for the reasons they think." Zoe said while we nodded in agreement "We have this planet because we earned it and lost a lot of good friends for it." Leo said while we nodded "Let's go greet them. Chaos is looking for us." I said as my wings expanded as I propelled myself into the air with everyone else behind me as we shot towards Chaos and the others like a meteor.
Piper POV
"And these are the houses. Home to all twenty four companies." Chaos said, showing us multiple houses that were all in order like the Greek Alphabet, starting with Alpha and ending with Omega "So, how did they get a planet?" Audrey said curiously "They fought for it. If you think we gave it to them, we didn't. We try to give them gifts but they refuse them, the only thing they got from us are the blessings, and they didn't even want those." she said as we walked further into the Angels headquarters.
"Whose is that? The commanders?" Machai said pointing at a beautiful house that was pitch black with stars and planets moving around it, giving it a crystalline look "Yes, but he doesn't sleep there often. When he does, it's rare." she said walking till she suddenly stopped and tensed "What's wrong Lady Chaos?" I said as a shield appeared over us and not moments later, a loud booming sound was heard, dust and sand erupting around us as she growled.
"The nerve of them." She said releasing the shield to show Percy and the other Angels all smirking or grinning "Was that necessary?" she demanded while Percy shrugged his shoulders "I don't know. You tell me." he said standing straighter and looking at us "Welcome to our home. As you know, which I'm sure Chaos told you. You are here to help us, even though we don't need it." he said turning away from us.
"Percy, where are the other Angels? I haven't seen any of them. Only their armor and weapons." Chaos said as he looked back at her "It's lunch Chaos. Their celebrating, come on." he said walking away from us "Celebrating what?" Audrey blurted out suddenly "For another year of living. While you celebrate for the founding of the Army of Chaos. We celebrate for another year of life." he said walking away with the others in tow.
"Don't mind him everyone. He's just aggravated." She said walking ahead while everyone looked at me "What are you looking at me for?" I said confused. "You knew him, so it should be easier for you to talk to him." Hailey said as I looked towards Percy's retreating form "I don't know everyone. He's seemingly different from when I knew him back on Earth. Less cheerful." "Come on." Chaos said, gesturing for us to join her.
"We all know you want to talk to him." Hailey said once we joined up with Chaos "I do. But not in front of everyone." I said as we appeared in front of a lunch room to hear people laughing "Their in here. Just don't start any trouble and we should be fine." she said as she opened the doors to show pictures of different people and species hanging up on each side of the walls, showing names, dates, and other things.
"What are these?" Hailey said walking over to one, observing it "Angels." was all Chaos said standing off to the side as we looked at the pictures "Hey Piper, one of your siblings." Machai said as I walked over to him to see he was right, and I immediately recognized her.
Mikayla Brown. She appeared in Camp Half-Blood about six months after the war with the Giants "I remember her. She was like Percy's little sister. You would always find them doing something together." I said as it showed her date of birth, what she liked to do, her favorite food but what made me sick was what it said at the bottom.
Deceased.
I felt bile rising up in my throat as I quickly shoved past Machai and the others and luckily, saw a trashcan not far from us which I ran to and threw up in "Piper! Are you okay?" I heard Hailey say as someone pull my hair back as I continued to throw up my lunch.
Once I finished, Audrey handed me a paper towel which I took gratefully and wiped the bile off my mouth as I looked at the rest of the pictures that took up every space on the wall leading from the door to the lunchroom "These are to dedicate to their fallen. Like a shrine. They all say deceased at the bottom." I said looking at Chaos to see her also looking at the pictures.
"Let's go, I'm sure you're done looking at the pictures." She said walking towards the door as I stood up "Let's go." I said quickening my pace, not trusting myself to make eye contact with any of the pictures, fearing I might have more siblings up on the wall along with others I known from my time on earth.

"And so, the Army of Chaos's commander and some of her best healers are here." We heard only to hear shouts of protests "Sounds like they aren't happy." I said as it quieted down "I know, I felt the same way when I first heard it. But we all know we need the supplies. This is only to help us back onto our feet. Once we're good to go, we'll go our separate ways." I heard Percy say as it went quiet.
"How can we work together, commander. Like before, we're kept apart for many reasons. Why now?" We heard someone say "I never said we're working together. Why. I don't know. But Chaos is going to bring the commander and her healers here and that's the end of it. No arguing." he said with a edge to his tone that signaled danger as Chaos opened the doors for us to see thousands of men and women in black and white muscle T-shirts with pure white wings sprouting from them.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Meet Piper Mclean, Commander of the Army of Chaos and the people behind her are her team and healers." Percy said as all eyes turned to us."This is going to be interesting." Machai muttered as I glared at him but suddenly felt a pair of eyes on me as I looked back and saw Percy's sparkling sea green eyes looking at me, sparking something that I thought I suppressed years ago. Something I thought I would never feel again after Jason's betrayal.
Love.
