I OWN NOTHING. ALL RIGHTS GO TO RICK RIORDAN.

PIPER'S POV

I was in pain when I got up. I looked at my leg and groaned. The cut was still there and all the blood was gushing out. I was strangely alright, I mean I wasn't to where I could lift a car but it was okay. I could feel the pain like a wave trying to get past a barrier that it just couldn't pass. When I looked around me I was in the woods. How did I end up here? Then I remembered, I fell asleep when they were treating me. They knocked me out so I still must be dreaming.

There was lots of fog and the trees were really tall. I was in a meadow and I saw a lake that looked like a mirror. Then I saw Lacy. She was wearing a white gown that was shredded at the bottom. When she turned to look at me, she looked dead. Her make-up was beautiful but still it was like her skin was transparent. She looked like a ghost. I tried to yell at her to come here, but my voice wouldn't work. I tried to run to her but my leg was in pain and I couldn't get to her. Then she turned around and said, "Choose wisely" Then she slowly submerged into the water.

I slowly crawled to the lake. Every time I moved rocks and grass were cutting into my skin, either tearing it or slicing it. I would cry out at the pain, but my voice didn't work. When I got to the lake I wanted to pour all the water on my body. I put my arm out to touch the water than I stopped. Something in the water was moving. It looked like black smoke, but it couldn't have been. Then I looked up at the sky. There was fire everywhere. The trees were burning. Everything was in ruin. The thing that scared me though was the people I saw in the fire. They were yelling at me to help them. When I looked at them more closely, I gasped. They were Chase, Foryx, and Forax burning in the fire. I was about to help them when I looked down into the water.

People were in chains looking up at me. They were drowning I soon realized. When I looked at their faces there was Jason and Leo. The two most important people to me back at camp. I looked at Chase then at Jason. Both were asking me for help. I wanted to scream at them to leave me alone. Then I saw the earth begin to crack. Then I realized that I could only save one or the other. MY feet were wide apart now. I looked at both of them and chose.

I sat up gasping for air. I looked around and saw people fixing my leg. When all that pain came down on me I fell back down into the laying position. Who did I choose? I need to know. Then I saw Jason look at me worriedly. I smiled, too exhausted to speak. He nodded and gave me a kiss on my nose. I blushed and he smiled again. I love him so much. I don't ever want to lose him. Then I thought about Chase and the others. I don't want to lose them either. I hate my life.

"You're all set" Some Apollo kid said. I nodded and sat up. Then I swung my legs to the side of the bed I was laying on. I slowly got to my feet. My leg was in a ton of bandages but the bleeding stopped at least. "We gave you some morphine, so you might be out of it for a while." Some other kid said. I nodded again. I took a step or two and nearly fell over. Jason rushed to get me before I fell. He held until I smiled and said, "My saving Grace." He smiled and shook his head.

He told them that he'll take care of me. Then he helped me out the door. He turned me toward the woods and walked me there. We walked until we ended up where Jason asked me out. I sighed and sat down on a rock. Jason knelt down and put his hand on my chin. He was close enough to kiss. In his eyes though, they showed that he wanted to say something important. "What did you dream about?" He asked. That caught me off guard. "What?" I asked stupidly. "Well when you woke up, you looked scared and you were sweating. So I wanted to know what you dreamed of." He said. I nodded. I took a deep breath and told him everything.

At the end of the dream he asked, "So you don't know who you picked?" I nodded and he sighed. "You probably have a choice then. It must be important though." He said. "Can we not tell anyone about this?" I asked. He said, "Do you remember when I told you about Reyna? How we might have had feelings for each other?" I nodded, "Well, I remember when you told me that you'll stick by me no matter what. You said that even when you knew that I could have left you. You stood by me any way though, even when everyone left me alone. You still defended me. You defended me till your very last breath. You were keeping the oath you made. So, I want you to know that I will always love you no matter who you choose." He finished.

I nodded. Then I hugged him. I loved him so much. I just couldn't lose him. He was surprised at first then he had his face in my hair. "I love you Piper, your my beauty queen." He said, even though it came out muffled and sounded like complete gibberish. I smiled and said, "Well, your my saving Grace. I bet I love you more." He laughed. He was really sweet. Then he stood up and took my hand. I stood up then too. He started walking but I stood still. "Jason, you do realize I love you. I missed you so much. Every day I would think about you." I said. He stopped and turned around and said, "Me to Piper."

So we walked hand in hand till we reached my old cabin. "Be nice." He said to me. I laughed. Before he left he bent down and gave a good night kiss. Not a good bye kiss, but a good nights kiss. I sighed when he pulled away. I stood there watching him until he went into his cabin. Then I turned around and walked right inside.

Chase was staring at me accusingly while all the other people glared at me. Then Lacy came up and hugged me. After that people started to ease up. I said, "I'm sorry you guys. This cabin means a lot to me and I want you guys to know that I love each and every one of you." Chase looked at me and shook his head. Everyone else ran to me to give me hugs or acceptance to my apology. Then someone said, "Can you lead us while you're here?" I looked and saw that Drew was staring at the cabin leader. Every one told me to say yes. "Okay, but is it alright with the cabin leader?" I said. The Chase said, "You're the eldest here Piper, it should go to you by right." They all looked at me strangely. Chase was older than me but he didn't want to take so I said, "I'm one hundred and eighty two years old, I think I'm the oldest." They all gasped, then cheered. When everyone settled down I told them lights are out.

In the morning I was the first to get up and get ready. It was seven thirty when people where all ready. We all walked to the dinner tables for breakfast. Soon every one scattered. Since none of the real camp leaders were here everyone broke a few rules. I took my seat besides Jason. "I hear your one hundred and eighty two years old." Jason says. I nod and he just laughs. "I feel like I'm dating a vampire." He jokes. I play along and say, "Well I'm not half goat and I have a soul." We both laugh at that. Soon we are talking about normal stuff. Like he complains about camp and I complain how he talks with his mouth open.

Then we heard a loud yelp. I looked around and saw my old group up. I jumped up and ran toward them. "What happened?" I ask when I get close to them. They point to the hill where the entrance to camp was. In a flash were there. I see the unmistakable face of Jeremy Brian. Son of Mars. I look at him and spit in disgust. He sees me and waves. Hey beautiful, can I come in?" He asks sweetly. Way too sweet for my taste.

I hope you guys liked it. =P
