I hoped you guys liked the last chapter even if it was a little sad at the end. This chapter has a new point of view in it so don't get confused. I own nothing. All rights go to Rick Riordan.
JASON'S POV
When I saw Piper walk out of her cabin I noticed how she didn't look at any of us. When Chase called on her I felt angry. I wanted to hurt Chase so bad, but I couldn't. That kid has gone through so much already.
He told me that if you have children both parents die and the child is raised with only adults and no other children was around them. The children don't know about other people until they are about thirteen. The whole point of that was so that they don't trust people and so they don't get attached to things and other people. They wanted you to fight for yourself. The only reason why you get to get out of the shell was so you could learn to do things with other people. Poor Chase hasn't been out of his camp till he came here.
Their training was intense as well. If you did one little thing wrong they whip you or your whole entire team if you have one. Each child goes with a group that is similar to each god. Each group was made up of four people. He also told me that time is faster there. One day for us is a year for them. I really felt bad for Chase. I'm not worried about Chase I'm worried about Piper. Piper has only known the way of the Greeks. Which was a laid back and fun way. I wish Piper was still here.
"Hey, Pipers friends come here!" Drew yelled knocking me out of my trance. I started walking to the Aphrodite cabin. When I looked around me I saw eight other people go along with me. Each and every one of them looked like someone died. In our case Piper is gone. When we got inside the cabin Drew looked pretty sad. She pointed to where Piper used to sleep. At first I saw nothing wrong but when I looked on her old pillow I sucked in a breath of air. Right in the middle of the pillow was her camp necklace. Piper never took off her camp necklace.
I was the first to walk to the bed. I picked up to pieces of paper that was on the bed. One said Jason and the other said Friends. I gave Drew the paper that said Friends and kept the one that said Jason. When I looked at the writing in side I nearly fainted. The paper said:
Dear Jason,
I love you. I want you to have my necklace, but if you don't want it then that's okay I guess. I know how upset you guys must be, but I want you to realize that I am never coming back. I never wanted it to be this way, but this is the fate the Three Fates chose for me. I want you to know that I cherished every moment I had with you. I promise you that I will see you again even if it might not be at camp. I just don't want to get your hopes up. Please just stay with me Jason and don't be with Reyna. Don't mope around either. I want you to have a good life even if I'm not a part of it. I love you Jason so much, I just want you to be happy.
Sincerely,
Piper Mclean
I swiped the necklace and took it to my cabin. When I sat on my bed I looked at the bed across from me. The bed was still messy from when Piper slept on it last night. I don't know how she got in here but it was nice. I love the smell of her hair, and the way her eyes would look at you but you could tell her mind was somewhere else, I also loved how she would blush so easily.
When I looked at the necklace it had only one bead. I only had one bead but I also had many lines on my arm to represent how many years I have been at the roman camp. The symbol for that bead was the roman and the Greek flag entwined together to represent us making peace with one another. What surprised me were the two ties that were supposed to tie together. The two strings were about an inch thick and an inch wide. They looked like they clipped to each other so I pulled them a part. What I found inside the left string was a thumb drive and the other side had a large hole to put the thumb drive in.
On the thumb drive was the words- PIPER ONLY. I laughed to myself. I wondered what was on the hard drive and started looking for Chiron. When I finally found him he looked depressed. When he looked up a look of worry went across his face. I smiled and shook my head. "Hi Chiron. Do we have any computers here?" I asked Chiron. He looked stunned at the question. It looked like he expected me to burst out shouting and yelling. "Sure, it's in the back. Here I'll show you where it is." He answered. Then he started walking to the very back of the room. Then he moved his arms to the direction of the computer.
I gawked at the computer. It was like a million years old. I smiled at Chiron and told him I'm fine. He then left the big house leaving me entirely alone. When I plugged the thumb drive into the computer I heard a loud noise and then the low steady sound of the computer coming to life. I grimaced and waited for the screen to turn on. When it finally did I saw five profiles the computer had. I clicked on the one that said PIPER-KEEP-OUT. I found that I needed a password to get in. I shook my head in frustration. Then a thought popped into my head. I typed down the password and surprisingly it let me in. (A/N- I can't tell you her password or else you guys would go to Camp Half-Blood and go through all her files!)
The first thing I saw was the background. It was a picture of Leo, Piper, and I looking at the world like we can take it on. Piper's arm was around my and Leo's neck. She looked like she had one long leg and one short leg. Then I looked for the thumb drive. When I found the thumb drive, I saw everything. I saw art and writings and even pictures. The whole thing was a documentation on her life. Literally. Everything was dated on when it was made and when it was finished or printed. She had her diary entries in here. Everything seemed pretty personal. All in all I was happy. I actually felt closer to Piper; I know now how much she trusted me. She trusted me with all her secrets. That was enough.
PIPER'S POV
I wanted to scream but I couldn't. In front of me were two people. They looked so alike, except for the fact that one looked like the moon while the other looked like the sun. They were twins, I realized. "How?" I asked stupidly. I groaned. I am so stupid! The boy just smiled and said, "Were twins but my sister here is Greek and I am Roman. I don't want to get into the specifics but our father is Hermes or as I would call him Mercury. Names Forax and my sister her is Foryx. What is yours?" "P-Piper M-Mclean." I answered. Foryx smiled for the first time in these last couple minutes. "I think we will get along great" Foryx said, "Now what can you do?" "I can Charm speak." I said slowly. All three of them looked at me funny. "What?" I asked quite annoyed with them. "What is Charm Speak?" Chase asked. I smiled. Foryx was right we were going to get along great.

After the little talk that we had I was put straight into training. They made me use a sword instead of a dagger. They were surprised at me. I kept thinking that I was doing something wrong and that I was going to be punished. "What?" I asked them confused. "Nothing, It's just, can you teach that trick you did with your sword?" Forax asked me. "What trick? This?" I asked them, really confused now. I pointed the sword up ward than brought it down. Then I stopped it in midflight then quickly pointed it upward and then drew it back up again. That was a trick I learned from Thalia, though it worked better with my dagger. Forax nodded. I laughed awkwardly and showed it in slow motion. When all three of them perfected it they showed me quite a few new tricks.
When it was time for dinner I just finished putting up my sword and switching for my dagger. They looked at me funny, then I said, "What, my mother's favored weapon is a dagger or a tube of lip gloss. Personally I prefer the dagger." They just shook their heads laughing. All throughout dinner they were staring at me and whispering behind me. Then I said, "What?" They all looked at each other, they all nodded. "Come with me." Foryx ordered me. I got up and followed all three of them out of the dining area.
When we got to a room Foryx stopped and told the boys to get out. Then she ordered me around. "Give me your most treasured item." She told me. I looked at her funny. She sighed and said, "We want you to be a part of our group. Each and every group has something like an initiation for new people to do if they are to be a part of the group. Ours is trust. You give me us your most treasured item and I give you mine, then you will tell all three of us your deepest and darkest secret and we will tell you ours." I looked at her funny, then I nodded. I needed to trust them. Their my team and besides I want to trust them for my survival in the place.
"Fine. Here." I said, giving her the only picture of me and Jason holding hands kissing. It was a picture Leo took. My heart nearly stopped when I saw Leo's finger in the way of the shot. She looked at me quizzically. Then nodded, my face must of shown how hard it was to give up that picture of Me, Jason, and slightly Leo. "Who is this?" She asked pointing at Jason. "Jason" I answered her. She nodded not asking any more questions. Then we went outside. The boys were waiting for us. "So who's going first?" Forax asked. It hurt to say this but he reminded me of Leo. They all turned toward me. Then I said "Okay here goes…"
~ PAGE BREAK~
After a regular six months for the other camps we had like 182 years. Once I found out we were immortal time passed really quickly. I started to get really close to them, until nothing could separate us. I was really happy, but I could never forget Jason, Leo, Percy, Frank, Michael, Hazel, Drew, Lacy, Leah, and Annabeth. They all thought that I would've forgotten them by now, but you can never just forget about people you loved so much. My dad probably notices I'm gone, but then again he might not. The masters here don't care because it doesn't get in the way of my practices. Most of the time I feel alone and depressed when there is no one around me.
"PIPER," Yelled our master, "WE HAVE A JOB FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM!" That caught my attention. We all ran to our master, when we got there he gestured us to sit. We all did. "I have been noticing that the two camps are fighting, and since you guys are the ones who are good with words and that kind of…job. I would like you to take the job." He told us. I nodded my head yes and the others did too. "Great, you leave in an hour." He said. We jumped up and started to run to our rooms. The only thought that was running through my head was: I'm going to see Jason again!
I hope you guys liked it. This one is more than two thousand words so…I'll make the next one just as long. =^)
