Sorry, last time I updated I changed it it didn't save. Nico Di Awesome, thanks for trying, the theory about Die-Anna made me laugh, but you got it half right. The answer is: I didn't want to name one of them Thalia, but I wanted a tribute to her in some way, and Artemis' Roman name is Diana. In one of the books (I don't remember which) Piper talked about her grandpa Tom, and how much she missed him, so I thought that that would be a good way to remember him

Chapter 7: Panic

Piper POV

I wake up and see the sun streaming through the curtains. I look at the time and see it is 8:00am.

"JASON!" I yell. "I told you to wake me up at midnight so I could take a watch!"

He doesn't answer. I roll my eyes. He was probably trying to be brave and fell asleep on the job. I walk down the hall to go wake him up when I see him. He's just laying there, face down, not moving. I roll him over and see that he has been bleeding. Someone, or something did this to him. I burst into tears and then grab out my phone. With shaky hands I manage find Annabeth's name.

"Piper, what's wrong?" she asks as soon as she picks up.

"Jason- he-," I start, then run to Tom's room. "And th-the kids, they…"

"We're on our way, I'll ring everyone else."

I try to thank her but, I can't seem to get words out. I try to drag Jason onto the bed but he is too heavy for me in my current state. About five minutes after Annabeth hung up, everyone is at the door. Annabeth and I both burst into tears, knowing the others pain.

"Where's Jason?" Will asks.

I take him down the hall to where Jason is still laying on the floor. Percy and Frank lift him and take him into the bedroom and Will carefully feeds him ambrosia and nectar.

"I'm going to need to take him to camp, so he can get proper treatment," he tells me.

I nod, silent tears still streaming down my face.

I hear Leo, Percy, Frank, Nico and Isaac discussing how to upgrade security.

"I can upgrade the alarm system, but I don't think it'll help," Leo says. "They didn't even disable it. It looks like nothing has happened."

"Maybe we could take Sammy, Emily, Bianca and Anza to camp?" Percy suggests.

"Yeah. I'm sure they would be safe there," replies Isaac.

I see that Annabeth is listening too. We exchange a glance, and I can tell she is thinking the same thing I am. These monsters will stop at nothing to get to us. But at the moment, no one has any better ideas.

Luke POV

I sit in the corner of our grey, windowless cell, thinking about what I could've done to stop it. They've taken my little sister for torture. Again. I could've been waiting with my knife, ready to ambush them, but no. I thought they were done with her, they have already hurt her enough. Suddenly, I hear a scream and a laugh.

'Zoë.' I have to find a way out of here. I need to save my sister. All of a sudden, one of the- the THINGS burst into the room. It looks like a ghost, only it's solid, and has an ugly, hairy face. (A/N Yeah, it's not an actual monster, but lets play a game. It's called the lets-pretend-that-this-monster-is-real game. Lets also play another game called lets-all-help-LolzBolz-to-think-of-a-name-for-this-monster-by-leaving-a-name-in-the-comments game) It comes in through a hidden door that seems to change position each they use it. I look up, expecting to see Zoë, but instead see Tom and Diana, being thrown into the room. They are unconscious, so I go and wake them up.

"W-where are we?" Di asks groggily.

"I don't know, I just know that they hate our parents and want to torture us, until they eventually bring our parents, so they can kill us in front of them," I say. (A/N: I'm sorry, I'm not enjoying this any more than you are)

"Where's Zoë?" Tom asks.

My eyes fill with tears and I tell them what has been going on.

"We need to get out of here and take care of the monsters," Diana says firmly. "I promised Bianca that we wouldn't let them hurt her."

"Just then we hear the sound of Zoë's sobbing get louder. The monster (that's what I'm going to call it) burst in with Zoë in its arms. It laughs cruelly, throwing its hairy face back, almost in hysterics. I scowl at it, and it glides out, leaving us to comfort Zo, but not before smirking at us nastily.

"Right," Di says. "We need a plan."

Calypso POV

I hold onto Esperanza tightly while trying to comfort Pipes. She is inconsolable, because both of her kids have been taken, and her husband is in a terrible condition. As soon as I heard what had happened, I picked up Anza and I haven't let her go since, not even for Leo to hold her. I am thinking about what we are going to do about these monsters when all of a sudden, little Bianca runs up to me, her eyes red rimed from crying. I don't blame her, her two closest friends have been taken by we don't even know what, to we don't even know where. She hands me a letter, then climbs up onto Nico's lap. Will has already gone to camp with Jason but he wouldn't let Piper come, because he needs time to recover. I open the letter and my eyes fill with tears. It reads:

Dear Antee Clypso,

I promise to lok after Anza wen we are tacken by the monstars. She will bee very safe with me and Di loking after her so dont worrie about her.

Lots of love

Bianca

I walk over to Leo, read the letter to him, and then give it to Nico. As he reads it, his brow crinkles, and he takes Bianca to the spare bedroom. I hand Esperanza to Leo and follow him down the hall.

"Don't worry Bianca," he tells her. "We will figure something out. We'll take you to camp, fix the alarms, do something, anything to stop them."

"Yeah, don't worry, we're going to fix it," I add.

Nico looks at me gratefully and then goes out into the hall to ring Will. I pull Bianca onto my lap and stroke her long hair comfortingly.

"Thanks Auntie," she says, snuggling into me.

Okay, I know it was short, but it is just breaking my feels, especially the parts from the kids POV. Sorry if the three different POV's confused anyone, I just thought it was necessary. If anyone can guess (except Netoohey) why I named Leo and Calypso's daughter Esperanza, virtual blue cookies and a chapter dedication to you.
