Chapter 10

Reyna sighed as she watched the pathetic show of courage displayed before her. A frustrated groan resounding across the acoustic room. Piper lay in bed, fruitlessly attempting at standing up. The scene reminded her of a tortoise on its back.

" You sure you don't want my help?" Reyna asked, popping a grape into her mouth.

Piper rubbed her eyes. " I'm pregnant, not disabled." Another attempt. Another groan.

Reyna smirked as Piper tried again, only managing to turn on her side.

" Technically, that is a form of being disabled. Ask any theme park employee." Reyna laughed at Pipers glare. " Reyna, I've got to learn to take care of myself. And I've only got three more months to go. Besides, as Praetor, shouldn't you be telling me to get a move on?"

Reyna felt a sting of pain, she wasn't even sure why. Reyna had already been missing for three months. Her and Piper were falling into a routine. She and Piper were, despite being held hostage by vampires, having good times. It was a moment before realizing why she felt pain. Reyna missed her old life, back in New Rome.

She should be preparing troops. She should be playing war games with Annabeth by her side. She should be riding her Pegasus. She should be doing a lot of things right now.

But there was only one thing she could do.

Reyna limped to the bed, holding out her arms. " As your friend, I'm asking you to let me help."

Piper gave her a small smile.

Piper gave her an apologetic glance. " I'm sorry, if I hurt you. Stupid hormones."

Reyna grabbed her hands and pulled her up. " It's fine, besides I'm the tough 'Roman queen of not giving a damn!' " Reyna giggled, referring to an old nickname. Piper smiled, sitting on the bed, sighing and rubbing her hands on her swollen stomach.

" Thanks Reyna, that was killing me." Piper laughed, then winced. Reyna swept back Pipers caramel hair off her brow.

" Piper! What's wrong, talk to me." She exclaimed. Piper waved her off with her hand.

" It's the baby, it's been kicking me in the ribs a lot lately. It sure hurts though."

No matter how many times Piper had shown bravery and courage In a battle, this was by far the bravest, and most impressive, thing Piper had ever done. Reyna couldn't begin to imagine the situation. Eighteen, pregnant, being held hostage, and the father doesn't even know.

Reyna just promoted Piper to the number one person she should respect on her list.

Runner-up being Annabeth Chase, and least Percy Jackson. He would be forever tormented by her.

The thought trailed to the memory of her last encounter with Percy. Hazel had told her about a certain panda pillow pet that Percy had grown fond of before Octavian 'brutally murdered' it in front of him. That called for some late night shopping and some help from Annabeth.

Long-story short, Percy had awoken to a massacre. Annabeth had told her that Percy sobbed for hours.

Reyna chuckled, then that infernal door happened to open again.

Two empousi were dragging an unconscious girl covered in paint into the room. Dumping her unceremoniously in the ground with a thud, curls covering her identity. The cheerleaders gave Piper a disgusted look before leaving them to the silence and seclusion she and Piper were accustomed to. Reyna immediately turned the girl over...to find Hazel's features staring back up at her. She looked at Piper, who was desperately trying to bend down over Hazel, but a certain bump made it impossible.

" Piper sit down, scoot to the edge, I'm going to lay Hazel down." Reyna ordered. She didn't mean for her tone to come out so harshly, but Piper nodded. Seemingly at a loss of words.

Reyna began to carry Hazel, now fifteen, Hazel was much bigger, and her dead weight made her stagger a bit. Lying her down on the bed, she began to look for broken bones. None. And no wound. Reyna sighed. Hazel would be oka- "Reyna, You're hand." Reyna turned toward Piper, who looked pale, hugging her stomach tightly. That's when Reyna noticed the blood on her palm, sickeningly bright and beautiful. And the red liquid beginning to soak the pillow that Hazel lay on.
