Hey, people! Thank you for being so paitent, and I'm really glad that you guys like to read my stories!

Song of the Day: Rumor Has It By: Adele

Sorry, I really like Adele, if you haven't notcied, and she is really cool to me. I also like Beyonce and Maroon 5, and Micheal Jackson. I really don't care who likes Micheal Jackson. I've actually heard people say they don't like him. My best friend doesn't like him, but you know. Freedom of expression, right? And who can you express to if not your best friend? Maybe your parents... But it all depends on the situation, right?

Sorry, I talk too much! I hope you enjoy my work! ;P!

Chapter 21

Jason

When Piper shouted, "Everybody, SLEEP," Jason willed himself to stay awake, but she fell onto the cage floor to make his act more believable.

While everyone else took a short nap, Jason slowly crawled to the bars to take a look at what was so important that they shouldn't see.

He saw Piper sitting down, whispering to herself. That's when things became crazy.

After a few short minutes, Piper started lighting up. She levitated, and an extreme light tornado began to erupt around her, but she didn't seem to notice.

Jason watched, awestruck, as the wind and light swirled around her and she kept whispering to herself.

What's happening to Piper? Jason thought, worried.

Jason had never thought of Piper as anything up a friend, until, when, he first met her when she thought they were dating, and ever since he'd gone back to Camp Jupiter. He just started feeling, differently about her.

I will not lose Piper to Gaea, I just won't! I won't be able to forgive myself if I do! If I can stop it, I will. I have to! Jason thought angrily.

"PIPER!" Jason shouted, and he light dimmed a little bit, but she went on whispering as if she hadn't heard him, and over all the light and wind, she probably hadn't.

Jason started shaking the bars of the cage, which resulted in shaking the entire cage.

He started shouting at Piper and threw everything he had into his voice and strength into his desperate pleas for Piper to hear him.

"What is she doing to you, Pipes?" Jason shouted, extremely worried and scared. "Piper, you can't die! I need you! You can't leave me!"

The wind stopped and Piper started to lower. Had it worked? Was she back? At least she wasn't on fire or dying.

"Oh, Jason," Piper said as she turned, still levitating slightly, turning on the wind. "Did you ever really think I'd be gone?"

Piper didn't sound right. Not like Piper at all. Like, Gaea.

"Piper?" Jason asked cautiously.

"Almost," Piper replied, and then Jason realized. Everything.

Piper just turned over. She had been Piper this whole time. She was being an agent. A spy. What they needed. And he'd turned her away, pushed her along.

"Piper, was it my fault? This situation you're in? Is it my fault?" Jason asked, feeling crushed with an extreme sense of defeat.

"Basically, yes," Piper answered.

Jason began to cry. Not very much, but slightly. "I'm so sorry."

"It could have been different, but it probably wouldn't have been," Piper said, being discreet and unemotional.

"But that's okay, I think you did me a favor. I like it here. With Gaea. You should come with me, Jason. We could be together, forever. Gaea promised me a life of pure happiness. My first step is you, Jason. Join me, please," Piper asked.

"What about someone else?" said a voice from the shadow.

"Can it be?" Jason asked? "Reyna?"

"I think he knows me better than he knows you, Piper. Maybe your paradise is losing hope," Reyna crept our of the shadowy depth of the cave, taunting Piper.

"I know you both, so stop it," Jason said, scared and emotionally weak.

Piper ran up to Reyna and slapped her across the face and screamed, "Can you relax a little? Jason is mine anyway! Cool it and find someone who actually likes you!"

Reyna started to fight back, but she stopped herself before she kept speaking, and Piper seamed to quiet down, too.

They nodded, shook hands, and smiled at each other.

"But it's still a race," Reyna smiled cunningly, and Piper nodded.

I wish that this had never happened, Jason crawled away from the cage bars, and shook awake Leo, because he was the closest to him, and Jason needed someone to talk to.

Leo grunted and whispered, "Reyna, I like you, but I like, pumpkin pie, too. Don't stab it, Reyna. Just don't. Not worth it…"

Jason shook him harder and whispered, "Leo, if you can't stay in a dedicated relationship with me, with out looking at pumpkin pie, then we are through!"

Jason snickered as Leo whispered, "No, Reyna, please."

Jason's expression turned from pranks and laughter to seriousness when Leo whispered, "Reyna, I really like you. I always have. Please don't leave me. Ever since I laid eyes on you, I've been debating between you and Hazel. I choose you, Reyna. I love you."

Leo's eyes fluttered open, and he asked, "What's up?"

"You have a crush on Reyna?" Jason asked, shocked.

"Oh shoot."

Okay, so I'm kind of starting to wait for my next Annabeth chapters to make exciting stuff, and unfortunately, they don't happen for a while. So, yeah, but please bear with me! Thanks guys! PLEASE REVIEW AND SUBSCRIBE!
