Hey, it's me again! Hope you guys liked chapter 11?
Congrats to MizzIsTheFizz and Percyval they both guessed right on the quote. So, they both saw this chapter before anyone else.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot.
ON WITH THE STORY!
Piper's P.O.V
Selena. Khione's daughter. She's hated me ever since I started camp. She's worse than Drew.
" Hello Selena" I say in a sickly sweet voice
" I challenge you to a dual, Miss McLean." She says
"Let's begin." I'm not one to turn down a fight but Selena's one of our best fighters especially with her ice picks.
They just appear in her hand. 3' long ice picks. I pull out katropis. Everyone's attentions on us.
" Remember, no seriously injuring or killing." Lady Athena reminds
She stands tense and vigilante. I stand relaxed and calm. She charges me. I stay still to long and almost get cut. I slah at her stomach. We go back and forth for five minutes.
" So, Selena how's it going?" I ask
" Peachy keen. How bout yourself?" She asked as she doges my dagger
" Great. How's your mom? I bet she's still sore from the war?". I know I hit a nerve there
Her eyes darken. I had beaten her mom in the final battle. She attacks me blinded by anger. I manage to make her drop her ice picks. I hold katropis to her neck.
" Remember Selena an angry mind is a narrow mind." I say as turn to walk away
I don't know who but someone shouts for me to watch out. I step to the right, I see Selena fly past me.
"That was a cheap shot, Selena." Someone in the crowd yells
Chiron walks forward. "Selena, Piper has already won. You have stables for a month."
I want to feel bad for her, I really do, but I just can't.
I walk up to her and stick out my hand. "Truce?"
She storms past me, knocking her shoulder into mine.
~Time Skip~
Next Morning
I was finished packing. So, I came to the beach. I hear footsteps in the sand. I turned to see who it is. Leo.
"Hey, Beauty Queen." He sits next to me
" Hey, Repair Boy."
"How's it been?" He asks
"Great. How bout you?"
"Nervous." He says
"Why?"
"Cause I real don't want to get kicked out of this school." He says honestly
" Don't worry. You have all of us to back you up. And you have three people who can control the Mist." I remind him
"Thanks, Pipes. I can always count on you." He gives me a one armed hug
We still have a half-hour before we have to be at Half-Blood Hill. We sit there in silence.
People thought that if Jason and I ever broke up, I would have gone out with Leo. Truth be told, I only see Leo as an annoying brother.
I start laughing for no apparent reason.
" Piper, why are you laughing?" Leo stares at me
"I was thinking about how people thought that if Jason and I broke up, you and I would get together. And honestly I only see you as an annoying brother." I tell him
"I think you got it wrong." I look at him confused. "You would be the annoying little sister."
"I'm actually older than you by two months."
"Shhhh, no one needs to know that."
"Come on. Let's go to to the hill." I get up and brush the sand off me
"Race ya" He takes off, not waiting for my answer
I run towards the hill. A few minutes later I see Leo just smirking at me.
"I won" He starts doing this hilarious victory dance
"Only because you cheated."
" Did not"
"Did too"
"Did not"
"Leo apologize to your step-sister." We jumped at the voice
We were to busy arguing to notice our parents came.
I ran over and hugged my mom. "Hey, mom"
"Hi, honey"
She was wearing faded jeans, white blouse, with flats. She had her hair in ponytail and surprisingly, she had no makeup on.
Hephaestus was wearing a red lumberjack shirt, dark blue jeans, and hiking boots.
Something that surprised me was that Hephaestus had his arm around my mother.
"Wait, did you say step-sister?" Leo asked his dad
"Yeah, have you forgotten? Aphrodite and I are married." Hephaestus said
"And closer than ever it seems." I added
"Yeah, I broke up with that jerk, Ares. I realized I really do love Lord Hephaestus... I mean life is short, right?" My mother explained
I look at Leo and see that he's confused too. Aren't out parents immortal. Immortal means they life forever, as in not dying, ever.
"Well, Leo it seems that you really are my little brother now." I tease
"I thought I told you. Nobody needs to know that your older than me." Leo said
"It's just our parents, you idiot." I said
The four of us stay there and joke around with each other.
"Wait," Leo said, "does this mean I have to call you mom, now?"
Aphrodite thought for a second. "You can call me whatever you want."
"Okay"
"The same goes for you, Piper." Hephaestus said to me
Fifteen minutes later Leo and I go to our cabins to grab our stuff.
Saying bye to my siblings was hard. Even to the ones thaay are relatively new.
Pulling two huge suite cases through grass is harder than it sounds. Somehow I make it up the hill.
All the gods are here already and only me, Leo, Katie, and Annabeth are here.
I stand by my mom, Leo, and my newly renowned step-dad.
"Before you two go I have something to give Leo." My mom said
"I give Leo my blessing." She touched Leo's forehead. "Now he has the powers of my children but to a lesser degree."
"I also have something for Piper. I give you my blessing." Hephaestus touches my forehead.
It feels like I'm on fire.
I open my eyes and look at Leo. He grew a few inches taller, gained a bit more muscle, and his hair is less wild.
Our attention turned to Zeus as he started talking.
"Goodbye half-bloods. The gods have provided you with a place to stay and transportation." He said, "When you get to the house there will be letters there for you. In these letters we ask you to do something. Please do what we ask. And one more thing, there will be a surprise waiting for you at the manor."
"I hope you guys have a safe trip and I hope you guys like the house."
We say our goodbyes to our parents.
Aphrodite pulls Leo and I into a hug.
"Be safe both of you." She says
We both give Hephaestus a hug. Hephaestus messes up Leo's hair.
"Hey!" Leo cried
Percy helps me take my bags to his lime green challenger. Everyone goes to their assigned car. It's only me and Percy in his car.
We start the long drive to New York City. After a while of silence our ADHD starts acting up. I turn on the radio to (these are stations from where I live) 103.5 Kiss FM.
Best Day of My Life by American Authors came on. I started sing along and soon Percy joined to.
When the song ends we burst our laughing.
" I didn't know you could sing!" We said at the same time
That just made us laugh even more.
I decide to answer first. "I love to sing. I've been in my school choir since middle school."
" Me too."
"Looks like we have even more in common."
I lean over and kiss him. We were rudely interrupted by my phone ringing; Leo.
"Hey, Leo what's up?"
"Piper, could you and Percy so kindly stop making out while he's driving."
I look back through the car, Annabeths behind us.
"How can you see us? Your not even behind us." I ask astonished
"They called me and told me. They said it would sound better coming from her brother. I told them I'd do it. I also told them to stop being fucking wimps."
I heard Hazel scolding him in the background.
"All right we'll stop. Bye Leo."
"What was that about?" Percy asked
"Leo asked if we could so kindly stop making out wile your driving." I told while putting me feet on the console.
" But it was only one kiss." He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion
" The people in the car behind us are being overdramatic."
" Well if there mad about that, they're about to have a heart attack."
Before I could ask him what he meant, he leaned over and kissed me.
I deepened the kiss and slid my arms around his neck, playing with his hair. He pulled away and I started kissing his neck. I kissed a soft spot right behind his right ear.
"Mmmmm" He moaned
I put my hand on his thigh, not doing a thing, just setting it there.
When I did that Percy swerved a bit.
"Okay, I think that's enough." I said as I pulled away
After that little incident I took a nap.
The next time I open my eyes, I see Percy unbuckling his seat belt.
" Hey, we're here already?" I stretch
" Yeah, come look. Everyone's waiting for is us."
I get out the car. My vision was still blurry but I could see the outline of a huge house, wait no, house is too little of a word for this... mansion. It's bigger than my dad's beach house and his mansion combined.
It at least has five floors above the ground. Made out of stone, with a staircase leading to a grand door that's under a greek-style arch. The first thing you see when you walk in is a grand staircase that has a landing for each floor.
To the right is the living room area. Complete with leather couches and recliners with a coffee table in the middle. On the wall is a giant flat screen TV. A glass case full of movies and video games. There is a fire place with a couch and a few chairs in the corner.
To the left is the dinning room. In the middle is a long wooden table. The chairs look like mini-versions of our parents thrones. Above the table is a beautiful crystal chandelier.
On the left side of the dinning room is an opening revealing the kitchen. The kitchen is filled with all the top brand stuff. It also has a stone oven carved into the wall.
There is a sliding door to the backyard. The backyard was amazing! When you first step out your in a garden with a few water fountains here and there. Take a coupe of more steps and your on a flat smooth surface with beach chairs. In front of you is a huge pool that has a water fall, under the water fall there is an opening to somewhere. It also has a water slide and a hot tub. In the middle of the pool is a island. Its round with a fire place in the middle and a circular cushioned seat around it.
I go back inside to check out my room. My room was on the fourth floor second door to the right. The door had my name engraved in it. Inside the walls were a deep purple with poster of my favorite bands. In the middle is a queen sized bed with a purple and white comforted and pillows. On the wall was a TV. In the corner was my i-home. By my window was a stack of books and my stuffed tiger.
I found the letter on my pillow. Its in a pink envelope with my nam written in fany script. I open it and read it.
Dear Piper,
We the counsel were looking over a few precautions on the house. As we were doing this it came to our attention that most of the demigods at Half-Blood Manor have not been notified of the dangers and precautions needed in order to have any sexual affairs. You being a daughter of Aphrodite have more knowledge on this subject more than any other occupants. So, we ask you to have the 'talk' with the other demigods. We would appreciate this very much because we know its an embarrassing subject. The counsel humbly thanks you for this.
Sincerely,
The Olympian Counsel
Great, just great. Now I give the sex talk to not only people older than me but also my boyfriend. This is so not cool. But I have to do it. I'll do it tonight after dinner.
There's a knock on my door. I turn to see Leo poke hid head in.
"Piper, you gotta come see this!" I follow him out the door and down the stairs.
He leads me to a set of stairs I didn't notice in the living room. We walk through a underground garage. We enter a big room.
It has an arena in the center, a archery range to the left, and a wall full of wepons to the right.
"Is this a training center?" I ask
"Sure is" Percy comes next to me, "What time is it?"
I check my watch. 3:37.
"What do you want to do, since dinners not till 6?" I ask him
"I want to go back to that pool." H says. Of course, I thought
"Alright, I'll get changed and meet you out there."
I rush to my room. I put on my black and purple bikini. I make sure I be my earbuds and phone.
I see Percy already in the pool.
"Come on in!" He shouts
For the next two hours we swim. Then we have to go and get cleaned up for dinner.
We're the first ones in our seats. Percy's at the head of the table while sit to his right and Nico on his left.
We eat and talk through dinner. When were done we all gather in the living room.
I stand in front of them. "The gods asked me to do something..." I was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Leo being the closest went and opened it. His eyes nearly popped out of his head when looked at whoever was at the door.
A girl with tan skin and cinnamon brom hair in a braid tackled Leo into a hug. Everyone jumped up, weapons out. Leo was trying to say something.
" Calypso!"
