I know, I know, I'm SUCH an asshole. I'm sorry for vanishing! See, I'm stuck in that exam part of the year and, being my first exam, I was hella busy and seriously didn't have time to write! So, to make it up to you, I'll update like mad crazy between January 24th and February 4th. I'll have a shitload of free time, so yeah.

Secondly, I know advertising on a story is capital R rude but would you guys mind checking out a story a wrote? It's a for a contest thingy. It isn't funny, more emotional, and I'd LOVE for you to check it out! Please and thanks! The link will be on my profile!

Now, on with the story!

PIPER IV

The whole camp stopped and stared in awe at the glowing symbol above Leo's head. Piper, however, was silently hoping she'd get to see him get burned to death by it.

"Burn, burn, burn…" She muttered to herself. "C'mon, burn. Mama wants a show."

Leo began to notice what everyone was glaring at and tilted his head up to see. The fiery symbol moved with his head. He bobbed and weaved around, trying to get whatever was on him, off. Piper sighed inwardly; obviously she wasn't going to get to see anyone burn to death today, but seeing Leo shuffling around like an idiot would have to do.

Eventually the symbol vanished, leaving Leo wide-eyed and confused.

"Well," The horseman announced, a sight hint of amusement in his voice. "That was quite the show. Annabeth, dear, call Olympus. Have them do that again."

Annabeth frowned, "There are more pressing issues to deal with. Like where that blonde goblin—,"

"I told you," Piper interrupted. "He's actually human."

"No!" Annabeth yelled. "I don't care what you say! As a daughter of Athena, I would like to pride myself on the simplistic ability to tell a human, from a…not-human-thing, okay? And that—," She jerked an indecent thumb at an annoyed Jason. "—is what I like to call a not-human-thing. In fact, we're not even going to classify him as a demigod in our medical reports. His species will remain unknown until further notice."

"Why don't you just spear me?" Jason suggested. "Would have hurt less than that comment."

"And it wouldn't have effected your self-esteem," Leo added.

A beefy boy in the crowd raised his javelin.

"Hey!" Jason raised his arms defensively, but what that would've done to defend him against a spear in the chest was unknown to piper. "I was kidding! Put that down!"

Piper shook her head disapprovingly.

"You guys all need to be nicer."

Jason and Leo's head spun to face Piper, disbelieving what they'd just heard.

"So my bitterness stands out." Piper concluded, vanquishing the boys' shock.

The horse-man raised an arm, "This group is, obviously, not going to survive very long, so we might as well keep introductions short. My name is Chiron, I am your trainer, you sad excuses of life are considered Demigods, you are half Greek god and half mortal, so that makes you a half-idiotic being—And, no, I wasn't referring to your mortal half."

Thunder rumbled in the distance.

Chiron ignored it.

Jason, however, felt something. He brought his hand up to his heart.

"What… What was that?" He inquired, delightedly. "That…That feeling. It feels so familiar. So warm. Almost as if I know—as if I'm close to—the deity that produced it. Almost as if… I'm related to it."

Annabeth face-palmed.

"Nice going, dumbass." Chiron rolled his eyes. "You just revealed a huge plot development."

"What?" Jason queried, confused.

"Why don't you just go ahead and tell them the rest of your unknown identity?"

"What?!" Jason demanded again, ticked off. "You act like I'm from a secret, Roman-Version of your camp!"

The crowd burst into a chorus of "Ooooohhhh!" and "Are you fucking kidding me!?" and "Someone kill this kid off before he reveals the whole Leo-Sammy thing, too!".

Leo perked up, "Leo-Sammy thing?"

"I've never heard of it," Jason admitted. "But if I had to guess, I'd say Sammy is your gr—,"

"Don't you fucking dare!" Chiron interrupted. "That's like the biggest thing to happen in the third book and, even though I wasn't even really in the novel—Thanks for that, Rick. Way to make me feel loved.—I don't want you revealing it!"

"I think everyone can agree that Percabeth falling into Tartarus was the biggest thing." Jason corrected. "One hell of a cliff hanger, too."

"NOOOOOO!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"OH, THE HUMANITY!" Another cried out.

"What?" Annabeth asked.

"We'll miss you!" Someone yelled, bursting into tears soon after.

"What're you talking about?!" She demanded.

The crowd fell silent except for the occasional "Shhh!" and "Don't tell her!".

"What?" She asked again, her face paling. "What is it? What's Percabeth? What does that mean? Why won't you tell me?!"

"Shhh, Annabeth." Chiron placed a concerned hand on her shoulder. "Let's just say… Things aren't looking up for you in the third novel."

Annabeth gasped, "Rick… He kills me off?!"

"Oh, heavens no!" Chiron assured her. "He didn't… say that."

"Well then what?"

Chiron shook his head, "No. Not now, it's too soon to tell."

Annabeth saddened dramatically, tilting her head to the ground.

"Anyways, Annabeth, I have more important things to do so go deal with these cunts—campers, I mean." Chiron stopped and thought for a bit. "No, I mean cunts. Either way, deal with them."

Chiron trotted off, leaving Leo to be engulfed by campers, all offering to give him a tour, a discouraged Jason, and an utterly bored Piper.

Sorry I ended it here! I know, it sucked! Exams have sucked all my energy, and I'm lacking creativity! D: I'm hitting a level 50 writer's block, too. So in your reviews, mention what you'd like to see! Maybe that'll give me a little jumpstart. Thanks guys!
