Hey guys! So I have good news and bad news... The good news is I'm updating! The bad news is that school is getting a little overwhelming so don't kill me if I don't update at the usually time. Like how I'm updating on Saturday instead of Friday which actually might become my new date... Idk Friday or weekend. Anyways the even WORSE news is that I don't think I'll get to the "Polybotes doing the thing to Percy" part... Sorry! Don't kill me! Its just that I still have to write about other stuff for the story to keep its flow... I will probably put a Percy POV in here though. Sorry.

Shoutouts:

softichgirl: Thanks! Means a lot

Raxacoricofallapatoreous: That so cool! I feel the exact same way... As long as Percy is there I don't care what the ship is!

Unknown: I'm so sorry but I have to do other stuff first... I promise it will be in the next chapter if its not in this one!

Guest: Thanks! Means a lot to me!

satvidesai: That's really cool! why don't you PM me and I'll tell you where I'm from... If there is a problem with the PM then Ill tell you

Alright lets get started!

Piper

As soon as I went black I had a dream

Are you kidding me? Are you seriously kidding me! I'm like dying and having a dream! Wake up Piper! Wake up! Ugh! I can't believe this! Why can't I charm myself awake! Well if I die then I'll know. I should wake up.

My subconscious lost though and I slipped into the dream.

It must have been an important dream cause it skipped all my normal dreams.

The dream came into focus till I found myself in a lab.

"Percy?!"

"Piper! Oh thank gods!"

"Oh my gods Percy are you okay!"

Percy looked around and responded, "Um well... not exactly"

"I- You know what nevermind."

"Were coming to get you, try and stall Polybotes for time!"

"No Piper! You can't!"

"And why not?"

"It's a trap!" Percy exclaimed

"We didn't expect it any different Percy."

"No you don't get it! There's more to it... where are you?"

"Uh well I'm currently dying underwater and umm were stuck in a storm... somewhere"

Percy took what I said and tried to make sense of it, he started to mumble to himself I only caught a few words. "Time. Plan. Three Days. Change. Trick. Trap"

"What was that Percy?"

"Nothing! Wait! Did you say you were dying?! Wake up Piper!" He said almost immediately

"No not until you tell me what going on!"

"I can't Piper!"

"Why!"

"Because I- I swore on the Styx!"

I looked at him and studied his expressions, no he didn't, he wouldn't, right?

"You're lying, Perseus Jackson you tell me the truth right now!" I said with tears starting to fill my eyes

He looked at me straight in the eyes, his filled with fear and terror, but surprisingly his response was calm, "Wake up Piper."

Then the dream began to fade, "No Percy! Tell me what's happening! We're coming Percy and I don't care what you say!"

Before I fully faded out I heard a single word, "No"

Then I woke up.

TIME SKIP TO WHERE WE LAST LEFT OFF ON THE ARGO II WITH PIPER

I had called for Jason and me and Annabeth were currently in Leo's cabin making a fishing rod.

"You ready Annie?"

"I hope so, don't call me Annie."

"Let's go!" We ran out of the cabin and told Jason to fly us to the rocks.

"Ready!"

"Throw it in!"

I held the rod while Annabeth kept her knife handy. We had cut our palms and let the blood drip into the ocean. I wasn't sure if it would work though, our initial plan was that the blood would attract the serpents the same way it does to sharks. I don't even know if that happens to sharks I learned it from Finding Nemo.

So it the plan had like a 35% chance of succeeding but that's normal being a demigod.

Amazingly I got a bite, "Annabeth be ready!"

"Got it! Pull it up!"

I pulled the rod with all my strength and ended up falling backward and cutting myself on the sharp rocks but it worked, the serpent flew onto the surface of the sharp rocks and started to flop around.

"Now Annabeth!"

She stabbed the serpent with her knife multiple times, the rocks helping since it sliced into the serpents body. I charged up the rocks and started hacking away at it's face.

Soon its eyes became dim and it turned to dust.

"One down, One more to go!"

Annabeth

We finally killed off the serpents! Apparently there was more than two and it was a bit of a hassle. I nearly impaled myself on the rocks but I'll spare you the details.

So this is what happened: Serpent came flying, knock me off my feet, Serpent nearly bit my head off, I tumble towards rocks to escape teeth, rock grazed me but stung like crazy, fell into ocean and almost died before I came back up.

Just the basic life of a demigod.

We got out of the storm two hours later after escaping all the venti, Thanks Jason.

We were all ready to go to sleep when Piper called another meeting.

"Pipeerr!" Leo whined, "Whyyyyyyy?" Piper slapped him, hard

Then something completely unexpected happened, Leo started to tear up.

"OMGz LEO! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to- Please don't cry!"

"I'm sorry I just flashed back to my previous days when my foster care-takers used to hit me, it's okay Pipes" His head down as he said it

"Oh Leo I'm so sorry!"

Then Leo looked up with a ridiculous grin on his face and he started to laugh uncontrollably. "Oh. My. Gods. You should see your faces! You were all like 'Is he crying?' and then Piper was like 'Leo I'm so sorry, are you okay?' HAHAHA!" Everyone looked murderous after that.

"I can't believe you just did that Leo Valdez."

"OMGs" Leo laughed out

"Your faces were priceless!"

Leo ended up on the floor for two reasons:

1. He laughed so hard he fell and started rolling on the floor.

2. Piper beat him up so bad I almost felt sorry for him... almost.

When Leo finally stopped we started the meeting.

"Ok Piper make it quick cause I want to go to bed." I told her

"Right!" She responded

"So when I nearly died"

"Wait you almost died!" Jason interrupted, "We all almost died Jason now please don't interrupt until I'm done, that includes you Leo!"

"Sorry" Jason said

"Dang it!" (you can all guess who said that)

"Anyway, so when I almost died I had a dream."

I leaned in closer cause Piper didn't tell me this

"I saw Percy again, he seemed stronger and could talk, I told him we were coming but he said no. It continued like that until he finally said he swore on the styx not to tell."

Everyone gasped, "He didn't!" Frank exclaimed

"He would" Everyone turned to face me

"His fatal flaw is loyalty, he would do anything to protect his friends"

"We've got to save him" Hazel said

"There's one more thing" Piper told us, "He muttered something, I couldn't hear all the words but I did hear some"

She looked around to make sure we were all listening, "He said, 'Time. Plan. Three Days. Change. Trick. Trap'"

"What do you think it means?" Jason asked

"I think, that there's a deadline, the day Polybotes will do something to Percy, and there's a trap. The change I don't get, I think the trick is the change of location but I'm not sure" I said voicing my thoughts.

"I think you're right Annabeth"

"Let's all go to sleep and talk about this tomorrow, we'll be more awake by then" Jason reasoned

"Yeah lets go, we'll talk in the morning" I said agreeing with him

"Wait! One more thing!"

"Yeah?"

"I think Percy was lying to protect us"

I thought about it, would Percy really lie to us? He wouldn't, right?

"Percy wouldn't lie to us Piper, he's better than that and has never kept a secret from us."

Piper looked like she wanted to argue and by looking at her I could tell she didn't believe me, but she didn't say anything cause she knew how I felt.

I know Percy would do anything to protect me, that's how he is. And I hate that!

"Let's go to sleep guys, we'll talk more in the morning" With that I went to my cabin and cried myself to sleep

Percy

It's 11:00 P.M.

My recent talk with Piper I'm not sure how I feel about it. I had overheard Polybotes talking about serpents. They'll be too late I know that, what I'm scared of is that they'll come when it is too late. Who knows what might happen. They could come all the way there for me and come back with nothing.

And it will be my fault.

I should've told her! I should've told Piper! Instead I lied. And for what to protect them!? They're coming here anyways, I just made them more determined to get me.

I'm a horrible friend.

And tomorrow it will just get worse, tomorrow everything changes.

OMGs I'm soooo sorry I didn't update till now! I've been really busy, but now it's out and I hope you're happy! next chapter we'll find out what happens to Percy!
