Piper

I was soaking in the rain, trying to find the TranzCourt Academy when I saw him. It was only for a moment but with my improved vision I could clearly make out his raven black, tousled hair and glinting sea-green eyes. I could of course, smell him too and he smelled like... fresh meat, that is, human. A scent I had never imagined him to have. But the person I saw just unmistakably resembles Percy. I still have nightmares of him dying to save me.

"There you are!" called Thalia Grace, my partner in travelling and my vampire adviser, from some where behind a tree. Thalia is a twenty-three years old (actually she was born in 1300s) black haired, blue eyed beauty who had a positive hard mind of her own. Hard does not mean that she is stupid or anything, it means that she never backs down from anything she has already made up her mind for. She helped me find my element, charm speak, which took almost a hundred years for me to master.

Anyway Percy was her'little' cousin and Jason is her 'little' sibling brother. She has more vampire cousins like Di Angelos (Nico, Bianca, Hazel Levesque) but the only two people I really want to see in her again in her family are Percy, because it's my fault that he is dead and Jason because... it is complicated.

Jason isn't really the type who forgives you for getting his brother killed after a few centuries. He still flinchs or breaks glasses or perfectly fine utensils whenever we coincidently meet somewhere and is always gone before I can even say what I have wanted to for all these years. But there is no use in saying anything as the only person he listens to is himself and Annabeth, though rarely.

I sighed and picked up my suitcase and followed Thalia as she complained about foul weather, grumbling how meteorology can fail you. I just sighed again and looked up at the college hostel where we would be staying for an year at the least.

We were hunting Luke Castellan. The reason is simple: Luke killed Percy. Now we would kill him in turn. We got a hunch from a wizard called Leo Valdez that me might be here.

TranzCourt hostels are strictly co-ed for some reason that I don't really care about. Thalia managed to my (after agreeing to share rooms with a guy a year younger than her) neighbor and some other girl sharing with some transferred guy is my other neighbour.

When I closed the door of my little room behind me, I was startled by the smell that reeked off the stuff of the guy who I was sharing my room with. It was the sweet stench of a vampire. Could it be... Luke?

I crouched behind my stuff and held my breath in anticipation and waited for my room mate to arrive. I tensed as I heard footsteps entering as the room through the door.

"Don't move!" I ordered, using my charm-speak. The figure stopped. He certainly was a vampire.

I quickly moved to stand right in front of him and gazed at him. His face caught me off guard and my breath hitched in my throat. I instantly recognized those blue eyes and neatly cropped blond hair, that lean and well build frame and small cut on the lower lip, he was Jason Olivia Grace from her past.

Looks like the past is still chasing her after all.

The look on Jason's face was bewildered. His mouth was hanging open and he was staring at her in disbelief. Finally he closed his mouth and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Release me."

"I am not- oh. Move." And with that my charm-speak for him to stay was removed. He moved with a sudden flash and hit the cupboard on his side of the room so hard that it shattered into pieces.

I flinched a little but stayed where I was, waiting for him to calm down even tough I knew he would never do that in my presence.

"ANNABETH!" He yelled on top of his lungs, "COME NOW! IT'S URGENT!"

A tall blonde girl with California tan and startling grey eyes ran into the room, Her body was tensed, she was ready to pounce and attack anyone who looked dangerous. Then our eyes met and I saw a series of emotion flow through them- hate, forgiveness, hate, pity, hate, relief. A bit of hate was mixed with eberything else she felt for me but Annabeth being Annabeth was not going to show it.

"Piper? What are you doing here? Is Thalia here too?" She asked wile relaxing her muscles and leaning against the door frame. Even though it looked like her guard was down, I knew better than to attack her, not that I was going to.

"Hey! Yeah... We were just following... someone." It was better for me not to mention Luke in front of Annabeth. She has sworn to kill him.

"Yeah right." Jason's nose twisted in disgust. I turned my head to face the floor. I knew I deserved that but it still hurt.

"Anyway Anna I am so not staying with her! I am moving in with you with all respects of the co-ed rule."

Anna?

My heart clenched with jealousy. So they are together huh? Makes sense after travelling for like forever together they had finally developed feelings for each other. They really look good together too. It's a surprise that Annabeth has finally moved on. It feels like she betrayed Percy. It feels like they somehow have managed to betray me!

"No. My roommate is going to be late by a week. I need that time to think. You are not moving in with me."

"I would rather go to Alaska and live under a rock than stay with her!"

"Jason don't be such a child! We are not here for bickering! If it bothers you so much then we would be gone as soon as we are done here."

"What purpose?" I blurted out without even thinking.

Jason looked at me sharply and said, "None of your damn business." Then he just took Annabeth's wrist and walked out.

I stared at the spot where he had stood a moment ago. Is she his replacement for Reyna... for me?

I shook my head and walked into the next room, that is Thalia's room. The sight was shocking. Thalia was standing on a guys back and was shifting her bags into the loft.

"Well well..." She said, without turning around. But the guy, who was obviously a human and who had no idea that I was there, turned around frantically to see the new comer and dropped Thalia on top of him in the process.

"Sorry!" His voice was high and sweat. Thalia just glared at him as she stood up and literally pulled him up on his feet.

The guy was about Thalia's hight, who was a few inches shorter than me. So he was not all that tall but still had a decent athletic build . He hat a surfer's tan and had ruffled soft brown hair with deep brown highlights at the tip on his hair strands and had big mauve eyes with a spray of freckles on his face.

"Hi!" He said while extending his hand towards me to shake. He looked kind of nervous which made him look adorably cute, "I am Dennis Carondolet. I am Thalia's room mate. Nice to meet you!"

I shook his hand and the moment our skin touched, I felt a soothing masking sensation which was gone as soon as he had pulled his hand back. I stared at him for any sign of forgery. But I could only see earnestness and honesty in his big mauve eyes. His eyes were... unique... just like Percy's.

I smiled at him and nodded before saying,

"Hey! I am Piper McLean. Nice to meet you too!"

Guys honestly tell me if you are liking this. If I should continue this. Please!
