Piper

Jason looked so downhearted that Piper's heart was on the brink of bursting. Anger built in her chest with a twinge sadness for that elvish, curly-haired mechanic. It'd been a day since the war with Gaia, and the Romans were still at Camp Half-blood, helping to recover after the attack. Leo had disappeared the same day, when Octavian sent a onager rolling through the sky, killing Gaia, Octavian(who managed to get tangled with the onager) and apparently Leo.Piper sighed discontently and Jason seed to notice; "It's not your fault Pipes,you know that right? Hazel said Leo had a plan all along and-" He was interrupted by Piper grumbling, "Selfish plan" "Pipes, don't say that, he did it for us" "I'm sorry, it's just..." "I know, I know..." Jason soothed as Piper snuggled into his chest. They were sat barefeet on the rocks by the lake, dangling their feet into the blue water. Horns blew, the sunset dazzled on the Camp Lake, Jason and Piper stared at the ripples in the water, suddenly the ripples grew larger. Staring down at Jason's feet in the water, Piper saw a clawed, slimy hand slowly creep up from the water and wrap around his ankle. Piper screamed and pointed, Jason looked shocked and gasped. The hand tensed, slipping into the water, pulling Jason with it, he scrambled at the rocks but was pulled under. Piper screamed,"JASON!!!!!" She heard panting behind,and turned her head sharply, Percy stood there gasping for breath"Piper...*gasp*.. the nymphs... *pant*... they-" "JASON!" She screamed/sobbed. She pointed a shaking finger towards the water and Percy's face darkened, immediately he dived in the water after Jason whilst Piper stared after them, helpless.
