Chapter Eight

~Piper's POV~

I was nervous and cautious on what we would find upstairs.

Walking the steps, I started to hear a conversation.

"-don't remember?" A girl's voice asked.

"What do you think?" Percy's asked, his voice as clear as day.

I finished the steps and stood in a living area.

I cleared my throat. Their attention snapped towards me.

Looking down, Percy went back to his book, apparently.

With a warm smile the girl, who was sitting on the countertop to my right. "Are you hungry? Because, breakfast is on the table." She gestured to the table to her right.

Leo ran to the table, sat down, and was about to start eating, until he asked. "Is it poisonous?"

The girl laughed softly.

"Yes, Leo. We made sure Gaea didn't kill you, faked your deaths, and kept you safe until you woke up, just to poison you." Percy stated sarcastically, not looking up from his book.

The girl gave him a disapproving look.

She sighed. "Just eat, Leo." She said softly.

Leo started to eat, while we walked over and sat down.

In was quiet for awhile as we eat, Percy read, and the girl sitting on the counter and looking at some notebook paper.

"Oh. I'm Michaela, by the way. Sorry for not saying anything earlier. And, sorry for how I acted towards you yesterday." The girl, Michaela, said apologetically.

I smiled at her, she seems sweet.

"Aren't you two going to eat?" Leo asked, with a mouth full of food.

I gave him a disapproving look.

Michaela laughed again. "We already ate." She said, smiling.

Leo nodded and went back to eating.

I looked over to the living area on my right, Percy was still on the couch reading a book.

When we were finished with our breakfast, Percy got up and walked over to a cabinet on the right side of the living area.

"So, you are going to take them?" Michaela asked, watching Percy's every move.

He replied, while still in the cabinet. "Yes."

Michaela nodded.

"Take us where?" Annabeth asked.

"To the Argo II." Michaela stated, and smiled at how Leo perked up at the name of his ship.

"It's here?" Leo asked, bouncing in his seat.

The cabinet slammed shut. "Yes, Leo." Percy answered.

My eyes widen, as I saw what Percy had taken out of the cabinet. He was holding a pistol.

"Please don't shot me." Leo exclaimed, holding his arms up in surrender.

Percy rolled his eyes. "I'm not going to shoot you, Leo."

He placed a holster on his hip, and placed the pistol inside. Walking to the fridge, he picked up his bow that was next to it, and placed the arrow pack on his back. He gripped his bow, and folded it in half, and placed it on top of the arrows.

You could tell it was magic.

"Okay. Let's go." Percy exclaimed, clapping his hands together.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Michaela asked him, raising an eyebrow.

Percy gave her a confused, until she pointed to his neck with an eye roll.

"Hazel." He said, with his hand out.

Hazel tossed him, his keys and he put the chain around his neck.

"Now. Can I go?" He asked Michaela.

After not receiving anything for two seconds, he walk to the back of the kitchen to the door. "C'mon. Let's go!" He exclaimed again, not waiting to see if we were following or not.
