Mr. D is back at camp, too. Sorry. Forgot to mention that. He also plays a role in the story. (Wink, wink.)

Piper wished they were bad dreams.

But, unfortunately, they were memories that she saw every time she closed her eyes.

His voice, screaming at her. His hand, coming down on her face…

"Pipes, you okay?"

Jason's voice snapped her back into reality.

"Um, yeah. Fine."

Piper made the mistake of looking straight at him. And then it happened.

Jason's eyebrows immediately furrowed his brows.

"Gods, Piper, what happened?"

She cursed herself with every Greek swear she knew. And then added some English ones.

Should she lie? She couldn't imagine herself lying to him, even if she wanted to.

She could charmspeak him, but she would feel incredibly guilty.

She could tell the truth, even if it meant him going all crazy-overprotective.

And maybe Jason could take care of this guy once and for all…

No, she told herself. He can't find out.

But apparently Piper's mouth didn't agree with her mind, because before she could slap her hand over her mouth, she blurted out the truth.

"Jason! Jason, wait!" She called. Not meaning to, charmspeak rolled off her tongue.

"Jason, stop." Hesitantly, her turned around and faced her.

Piper had to bite back a gasp.

She had seen him mad before. When he was in battle, or when he felt angry at himself.

But this…this was off the charts enragement.

She took a few steps forwards. "You need to calm down." She couldn't use charmspeak even if she wanted to. Her voice was much too shaky.

"Calm down? Calm down? How the Hades am I supposed to calm down, knowing that he…that…" His voice went high, and then silent.

That he tried to sleep with me, and when I refused, hit me.

"I am going to make him wish he was never born, 3,000 years ago." Jason growled.

Piper ran up to him and grabbed his hand.

"Jason, I appreciate the effort. Really, I do. But, I mean, he's a god, an immortal, and most of all, your older brother. I don't think you want to get on his bad side."

She tried to calm him down, but she just made things worse.

"I don't care. He's going to get what he deserves. And if I die in the process, so be it."

Sorry for short chapter. Any guesses for who hit Piper?

P.S. Sorry if you like him. I know he's OOC, but I needed a bad guy.
