Hey everybody!

UltimateOlympusGirl – (Chapter eleven) California to Arizona (Like let's say San Francisco to Tucson) is about seven hundred and thirty miles. I checked this mile counter. So, it was like a rough guess. And I know Florida is in the east, I wasn't saying they get there right away. I was saying like they get there in roughly two/three days, going very fast boat, and by regular flight (I looked it up) is about three days. I may have worded it funny, so sorry about that. And yes, Percy is making blue pancakes, I was seriously craving pancakes at that time. (chapter thirteen) haha. You were holding your breath? And don't worry, I intend on finishing this story, I usually don't stop until I complete something. Riordan Fans UNITE!

– Don't worry. You'll see in this chapter, but I have no intention of them being turned into guinea pigs. Some of the other men are, because they haven't been to the spa before, but Circe is going to punish them in a different way, using magic. Thanks for reviewing.

Born98 – why thank you! Your amazing comment just made my day!

What chapter am I on? Oh yeah, fourteen. So who haven't I done in a while? I'm doing Piper this chapter, and then have I done Frank in a while? Or was it Jason I haven't done in a while. Oy. I'm really craving a salad right now. At least, it's not pancakes this time. Shouldn't have mentioned that. Haha. But I really want a salad with Italian dressing, and why am I writing this? Anyways. Sorry for not updating for about two days; I didn't have wifi, because my neighborhood got hit by a really bad thunderstorm/lightning, and I was home alone, and I heard a really big POP! And I thought I was going to like go deaf, because there was a ringing in my ear, but then I felt better, but then my wifi wouldn't turn on...so I'm writing this on a word document and it doesn't need internet, so I'll post it as soon as I do have internet. It's a sad life without internet. Haha. Hermes, what did I do wrong? Haha. Get it? Because he invented the internet.

Disclaimer – even though Hermes is mad at me, (just kidding,) I still don't own Percy Jackson or Heroes of Olympus.

Chapter Fourteen (Piper)

When Piper walked into the spa, she had a bad feeling about it. Her suspicions seemed to vanish, and all of a sudden, Piper remembered the reason she was there in the first place: to get a make over. When Leo asked what they were doing there, Piper felt like laughing at him. It was so Leo to turn down generous hospitality.

Piper didn't remember how she got to the spa, all she knew is she wanted to make everyone there like her, without the use of charmspeak. C.C. was so kind to them, and she even brought her best employee to help them. Piper usually wasn't the one for make overs, or anything make up related, for that matter, but she knew that she wanted her hair to be trimmed a little nicer. And maybe, just maybe, a new style for her hair.

Piper never felt that way, until she walked into the spa. When she came inside, something changed in her. She wanted to look beautiful, like a daughter of Aphrodite should. She wanted to make her mother proud of her beauty. She wanted to be good looking and in charge. Snap out of it! She thought, but Piper wasn't sure what she had to snap out of. Of course, Piper didn't think there was anything wrong with the spa, therefore nothing to 'snap out of''.

"So what are you going to be doing to us, Maya?" Hazel asked, seeming very eager to have something done to her to make her look even more pretty.

"Oh, well I was thinking we should fix everything! And I mean everything. There is a lot to fix!" She exclaimed, like she was having the time of her life. She also talked with her hands, making gestures for each word. "Like fix you're hair. Make up. Everything. I mean, you poor darlings are obviously not happy with your selfs. How could you? You," she said, pointing towards Piper. "I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten your name."

"Piper."

"Well, Piper, your hair is very choppy. I am going to undo all of your boring braids, make your hair very long and put it into one elegant braid. Put some gold streaks in there. Oh my, it will look fantastic. And we need to update your wardrobe a lot. I mean, Hello Kitty? Come on! We could do so much more. You would look absolutely beautiful. More beautiful than Drew or any of your cabin mates at Camp Half-Blood!"

"Yes, M'am," Piper answered, as if in a daze.

Annabeth's expression turned into a scowl. Her dagger eyes glared at Maya. "How'd you know we go to Camp Half-Blood. How did you know we are demigods?"

"Well, Annabeth," Maya started, beckoning us into a room that looked exactly like an expensive hair salon. "you see, I know demigods when I see them. I am actually a demigod myself. I went to camp when I was younger. Now, I have grown up and found a new place of work."

Piper didn't know why she found this surprising, but she did. "Who was your godly parent?" Piper asked. Now, Piper was half expecting an answer that was so unlike her personality. Like saying she was a child of Ares, or a child of Hades. Maya didn't appear to be dark of violent, but maybe she was one of those people that are least expectant.

Maya laughed as if reading her thoughts. "I am a child of Demeter. Some people would mistake me as a child of Aphrodite, like you, Piper, but most people said I was so obsessed with beauty I could fit right into Aphrodite and no one would know I wasn't. Funny how it works out, right. Everyone joked that Aphrodite must've been my second mom."

"Yeah. Funny," Annabeth answered through her teeth, but she didn't look the least bit entertained. If anything, her expression was pure boredom. Piper didn't see why. This spa was great!

Once they were in the room, Maya locked the door. Piper didn't realize until Annabeth narrowed her eyes. "Why did you lock the door?" She growled.

"Oh, well, we don't want anyone to walk in by accident. This procedure is very precise, I can not have any accidental distractions."

"Annabeth, calm down," Hazel instructed, taking a seat.

"Yeah, you are so tense. Calm down after all, we are in a spa," Piper said, taking the seat next to Hazel.

Annabeth was the only one standing, so Maya snapped her fingers, as if she had an idea. "Fine, you will go first, Annabeth!" Maya smiled, like it was the best idea ever. "Now, just come on, over here," she said leading her to a mirror. Now look at yourself. Do you like this option?" She said, pushing a button on the mirror.

Piper couldn't see what Annabeth was looking at, but her eyes widen. "Oh yes! That's beautiful!"

"Okay, I'm going to have Jennett do that to you. Jennett!" Maya screamed, and a girl popped in the room so fast. Literally popped. She didn't even use the door. She just appeared, as if this was some kind of magic show act.

She bowed and Maya nodded to Annabeth. She dragged Annabeth off to the side of the room, where there was a door. Jennett took out a key ring and unlocked the door. "Right this way, Annabeth!"

Piper found it strange that everyone here knew Annabeth's name. They had to ask Piper what her name was, but not Annabeth's. That was when the suspicions began. Piper racked her memory of why she came here in the first place. She started to remember the old Piper, the one where if anyone commented on her looks, it was war. Piper still couldn't remember why they were here, though. She had a sneaking suspicion it was not to get make overs.

"Piper?" Maya asked.

Piper looked up, and saw Maya standing in front of her. Hazel is gone, Piper thought. She must've been captured by someone else. Wait, captured? Were did that word come from? "I'm sorry, what?" Piper asked Maya.

She laughed, a good joyful laugh. "Did you not hear the question?"

"Oh, no! Sorry! I was just thinking about how beautiful you are going to make us all look!" Piper lied. She knew that wasn't the reason they were here. But if that wasn't, then what was?

"Yes, yes! We are going to make you fabulous! It will stop your boyfriend from going after any other girl. You'll be so mesmerizing! He won't be able to take his eyes off of you!" Maya basically radiated joy. She was a little too perky for Piper.

Piper nodded, and went up to the mirror. She looked in. Long, braided hair, weaved with silver. A white elegant dress, that went all the way down to the floor. It reminded Piper of a wedding gown. The person's make up was way too over the top. Then, Piper realized, that was her.

"Do you not like it?" Maya asked, looking disappointed. "We could try a different one!" She waved her hand and the image changed.

This time, her hair was straightened, but with braids basically weaving all around her hair. She had a short silver, strapless dress on with these high heels, which could also be called torture devices. Her make up was perfect. Piper shrugged. "Oh goody! Now just drink this," Maya said, turning around to a table. It was a glass of water. She added a mixing powder that made it look like a strawberry smoothie. "Oops! Wrong mixture!" She shrieked, and dumped it down a sink. She got out a new glass of water, and poured in a blueish green color.

Piper was about to take a sip when she thought better of it. "What's in it?" Piper said with a smile, using her charm-speak.

"Oh, it's just water, and this special flavoring that will make you look like that," Maya answered, which Piper found weird. I guess it's not a trap after all, She thought, taking a sip.

Piper drank the liquid. It tasted like blueberries mixed with every fruit you could imagine. Piper thought it was the most delicious thing she has ever tasted. It was like her tastebuds were going to burst with all the flavor. She drained the whole glass quickly.

"Good, good. Now look in the mirror," Maya instructed.

Piper did as she was told and looked in the mirror. She looked exactly like the image that was projected on it before. But, all of a sudden, Piper's stomach started to hurt. "Is this normal? Stomach pain?" She asked.

"Oh yes. It won't last long!" Maya exclaimed.

Piper started to feel wobbly. Her knees buckled and she fell to the floor. She was gasping for breath, and she passed out on the spot.

When Piper woke up, she was half expecting herself to be in her room on the Argo ll. Even though her room on the ship was her worst nightmare, which was saying a lot; she had her fair experiences with nightmares, but she wished to go back to her room, and sleep in an actual bed.

Not passed out on a cold floor.

Or at least, Piper thought she was on a cold floor. But, she wasn't. She was sprawled across a bed. At least one of my wishes came true. Piper mused, happy with the thought that whatever-her-name-was was kind enough to move her. Wait! Why can't I remember anything from twenty four hours ago? Piper thought. For example, she tried to think about what she had for breakfast this morning.

Nothing. She couldn't remember anything about breakfast. She tried to think onto another early memory. She thought hard, and even though she recalled a memory, it seemed fuzzy. Not fuzzy. A voice inside her head, probably her conscience, said. but wrong. You're memories have been tampered with!

Piper ignored the thought. She thought back to the time where Piper's dad was captured. She remembered the memory fine, but it did seem wrong. For example, Gaea was saving the day. Piper didn't remember that happening. Then again, her memories were a little clogged. Piper wasn't even sure if Gaea had saved the day.

As soon as doubt crept upon her, it soon vanished. Gaea was her leader. She was forced to work for Gaea. Gaea is my leader. Gaea is my leader. The words repeated in her head, like her ipod was stuck on loop.

Gaea is my leader.

The door squeaked open. A woman who had a name tag that said: Maya walked in. "Goody!" She said, her smile so warm it could melt the snow off of mountains. "You are awake!"

Piper nodded. "Yes, I am awake, Mistress," Woah, woah, wait! Mistress? Piper looked dazed, but she tried not to show it.

Maya smiled again. "Oh good, the magic potion, er, I mean, beauty drink, worked!"

Potion? Am I being influenced?

"Have you looked in the mirror?" Maya asked, her face full of excitement.

Piper shook her head. Maya guestered towards the mirror and Piper looked in. All she could remember was the option of a make over. They were at a spa. Who 'they' were Piper had no idea.

"I love it!" She lied, but Maya didn't seem to notice. She was wearing a short strapless dress. Her hair was braided all over her newly trimmed, but lengthened straight, hair. Her torture devices, also known as her heels, made her at least six inches taller. She had make up on, and it was perfect, and a little over the top. She looked as animated as Maya.

"Come, come. Do you want to see your friends?" Maya asked.

Piper wasn't sure what friends she spoke of, but hopefully she remembered them once she saw them. And she did. Annabeth and Hazel. Or at least she thought it was Annabeth and Hazel. They both had insane amounts of make up on their faces. Annabeth was actually wearing make up. They were both wearing dresses. Annabeth's dress was shimmering gray and Hazel's was a very pretty gold color.

Hazel looked dazed, and Annabeth looked suspicious. Maya didn't seem to notice Annabeth's suspicions, and said, "Oh joy! Now, are you ready to see your other friends? The ones who betrayed you."

Piper nodded, but she had a sudden urge not to. Apparently they had betrayed them. Hazel still looked dazed, but managed to follow along with the conversation, and Annabeth's expression didn't change. She was glaring all over the place. Piper had a feeling that whatever potion she was under, and she only knew she was under a potion or magic was because Maya had accidentally slipped that piece of information.

"Well, then, follow me!" Maya said, leading them down different hallways.

She brought them through various rooms, and the walk felt like miles to Piper. When they finally reached what Piper thought was going to be the right door, it just lead to another hallway.

After what seemed like hours of walking, they reached a locked door. Maya took out a key ring from thin air, and unlocked the door. Inside, there were four figures. Their wrists and ankles were bound to the walls, so they could not move. They looked like they had many different cuts on their faces. They were breathing; just barley. Piper didn't recognize them at first.
"Okay, these are the people you have to punish in order to be deemed trust worthy by Our Leader," Maya said, her face brighting like she suggested they just won the lottery.

Piper's heart sank. She didn't want to punish anyone. Her memory pounded, looking for an answer. Her brain finally found the answer, but she didn't like it. The four figures were her friends. Jason. Percy. Frank. Leo.

I hate this chapter so much. I find most of these beginning chapters boring. I promise, my ending ones will be more interesting and long. Sorry for not updating in like three days, my internet was out, and I didn't want to use up any data on my phone, because I already used up a lot, and we are only seven days into the month, and I have to pay for data. Anyways, it is at 12:45 here. So, I will try to update soon. Anyways thanks to everyone who is reviewing!
