An: This is my coping chapter. Worst week ever, so I'm taking it out on Piper. I think that this was pretty um, what's the word, not to evil, yet evil. Anyway if you're a Piper fan, this could get ugly.
You have been warned.

Piper was laying there right in front of me. She had pleading eye, which she must not have been doing on purpose. She was bleeding to death right in front of my eyes, and there was nothing I could do or say to help her. She was dying; the love of my life was dying.
I could hear people fighting around us, but not daring to attack us. It was like we were in our own personal bubble, safe from any harm. That is besides death. I wanted to do something to save her, but I had nothing but words.
"Jason" Piper muttered gaining my attention again. "You need to help Leo." She took a shaky breath. "He's hurt..."
"And you're dying!" I yelled. "Why can't you just stop being so unselfish and let me stay with you? I'm not letting you die alone! I love you and nothing will change that!"
She stared at me. "I know, but you have to get over me. I'm not meant to be with you, at least not now..." She mumbled the last four words.
I paled. "What do you mean not now? When else will I get the chance? Piper, I can save you! Just hold on!" I told her as I picked her up and carried her across the battle field.
She moaned and screamed in pain the whole time, but we made it without someone blinking an eye at us. It was a miracle if there was ever one. I set her down on a cot in the medic tent. Will came over to us as he saw us.
"What happened?" he asked loudly as he made it over to us. He had a look of shock; he must have thought she was too powerful to die.
"I don't know man! I just saw her on the ground!" I said loudly. I must have looked crazy, but for some reason Will didn't say anything. I guess he had seen this kind of thing happen all the time, or something like that. We were just a normal demigod couple to him. I was just a regular over protective boyfriend, and Piper was the hurt girlfriend.
"How did she get her own knife stuck in her leg?" Will asked me after he examined her. I looked at her leg, and I saw that her own knife was in it. Huh. How did I miss that? "Can you get it out for me while I tend to her wounds?"
I paused. How could I take a knife out of my girlfriend's leg? "Um...sure?" I told him. I moved down to the end of the cot, and stood over her leg. I grabbed hold of the knife, and then was stopped with a thought. "How am supposed to do this?"
"What do you mean?" Will asked sounding puzzled. He was too busy working on Piper to look up and give me a weird look.
"Do I do it slowly, or do I pull it out really fast? Should I check for broken bones in her leg first, or should I just pull it out? Will it hurt more if I don't do take it out at all..." I started rounding off questions to the busy medic.
"Just take it out!" he yelled as he continued to clean her other wounds.
I grabbed it and jerked it out. The usually clean knife was stained red with blood. The design on the hilt was ruined, and it was bent to a weird angle. The knife would never look the same again after this ordeal. Not even Leo would be able to fix it back to its former beauty.
Blood started to poor out of her leg as soon as the knife came out. It was worse than the horror movies made it look. In the movies it always came up in a geyser like fashion. No, it just came out slowly in clots. It looked like someone had spilled ketchup on her leg and it wouldn't stop falling.
"Will! Is this supposed to happen?' I asked panicking as I watch the blood land on the cot. There was so much of it. It seemed to never end.
"Yes, she was stabbed in her leg, so it will bleed!" he said coming down to the wound on her leg. "There will be blood when someone gets stabbed Jason."
At this point I walked up to her head, I just wanted to see her smile. I wished Will would laugh and say 'you've been punked!' I wanted Leo to walk over to me and tell me how emotional I was being. I wished this was just a horrible dream. I just wanted this to be some kind of prank. But it wasn't, she was going to die, and I would have to watch her.
"Will she live Will?" I asked him, having some hope left.
"It's very slim, but probably not." he told me looking up. "I'm sorry Jason..."
"No! Piper!" I looked down to see Piper's eyes close. She still looked so happy; it made me want to slap her across the face. She looked kind of peaceful, but I couldn't help it. I started to sob.
Will came over and looked at me. "I'm so sorry. Piper's gone, just like Annabeth." he said with a sigh.
I froze. Annabeth was dead? "Wait, Annabeth is dead too?" I asked. I looked down at Piper's blood covered body, and thought about what Percy must be going through. Was Annabeth looking like this? Did Percy have the same bloodied hands?
"Yeah, Percy isn't taking it to well. He ran out screaming, and killing anything in his path. I think he might have lost it." Will tells me.
"Leo, don't do this!" I heard Hazel scream. She came in behind Frank, who was at the moment carrying Leo. I looked on in shock. Could my best friend die on me too?
I took one more look at Piper, or at least the bloody mess that was left of her, and went over to Leo who might be dying as well.
