A/N: No reviews mentioning Peitho. Wahhhhh. Don't worry, I still love you. But, this chapter is dedicated to Tora and Koe at CornFlakes Production, for making me like their videos even though we support totally different ships.

PIPER

When their hands touched, it felt like a spike went up her arm. A bright blue light flashed, and Piper sank to the ground. The woman spoke, "I apologize for the rough travel, but I had to talk to you somehow." Piper shuddered and stood up.

"You know, you could have just sent a letter or something. I am capable of talking to people without being kidnapped." Piper groaned. Peitho sighed.

"Would you have come here with me willingly?" she gestured around her. They seemed to be in a temple. Except, one wall was covered by a giant bulletin board with pictures, string, maps, and letters crowding it. Scribbled on scraps of paper dotted around it was the word, "Scarlett" written in various different styles.

Piper answered truthfully, "No. What's scarlett?" Peitho winced.

"No what. Who. Actually, that's what I need you for. Fourteen years ago, I had a daughter with a mortal man in Portland, Oregon. Rules were different then, so I had to leave her with him. But, the second your friend Percy made Zeus reverse his rules, I started looking for her. It's been more than a year, and I've found almost nothing." Her voice cracked. Piper so wanted to comfort her, but she felt a familiar sensation come over her mind, and stopped.

"Stop trying to get me to pity you. Charmspeak doesn't work on me." Peitho looked up and gave a halfhearted smile. "Your mother said you were clever. Well, unlike you, I can't choose to charmspeak as I please. It's just my voice." She paused and looked Piper up and down, "You know, you're a lot more like me than your mother. She is more… romantic. I feel like a healthy relationship needs work. She thinks it just happens." You can say that again.

Piper regretted sounding so harsh. In a softer voice, she said. "Okay. What do you want me to do?"

"I asked my friend, your mother for help. Of course, she can't intervene directly, but she said you would probably be up for a challenge. Will you help me find my daughter?" Piper paused.

"Y-yes. I will. Where do I start?" Peitho's beautiful deep blue eyes brightened.

"Portland. Also," she ran over to the board and grabbed a map, "I found one of her father's addresses. He moved out a few years ago though. And I assume she lives with him. His name is Neil." She took out a backpack and put in the map, some train tickets, and a wallet. She passed it to Piper. She tapped her foot. "Oh, and bring your friends. All of them. You guys together emit a kind of, love energy. That may draw her to you" Piper blinked.

"Why?"

"Goddess of seduction."

"Oh."

Peitho reached out her hand, and smiled like a sexy evil queen. Piper clenched her teeth, and grabbed her hand. The pain was worse this time. A whole lot worse. She opened her eyes, and saw the camp still assembled around the dining pavilion. She felt her legs buckle, and did all she could not to fall into the fire.

It was quiet. She opened her eyes slowly, and saw a wooden roof. Infirmary, probably. She sat up shakily. Her gaze fell on the cot next to her. A familiar mischievous face stared back at her.

"LEO!" she shouted, and would have jumped out of the cot to hug him, but her legs felt like led.

"I know right. Wasn't I convincing? Even I thought I was dead. But I was so amazing, the world couldn't bear to part with me yet."

Piper's memories were coming back to her. What questions to ask first? About Leo, or stuff now? Stuff now. The more pressing issue.

"Leo, how long have I been here?"

"Really, that's your question? Well I happen-" an unfamiliar feminine voice interrupted him. "About eighteen hours. You were brought in last night, unconscious, with serious burns on your legs. A boy named Jason was here for a while, but he fell asleep in a wheel chair, and the doctor pushed him outside. Then, when the doctor –I think his name's Will- said that the three of us were fine and just needed to rest, and he left, then a girl with crazy red hair came in. She looked like she was about to burst. She tried waking you up, but her eyes got misty and she said," the voice paused, "and I quote, 'Eleven travel safely to the city of roses, twelve turn back as that half closes, however when safety is felt when nearing where they have come, one shall commit acts good and bad the others can't escape from.' She made me right it down before I forgot."

Piper craned her neck above Leo's head and saw the other girl who had crashed on the beach looking at a little note pad. Oh gods. Is that-

"Calypso," Will entered the room, "cabin twenty has decided to take you in. Piper, you're up." Click. Piper jolted. "I know what the prophecy means."

Will's eyes narrowed, "How?"

"When I disappeared last night, Peitho took me to some temple and asked me to find her half-blood daughter. She thinks she's probably in Portland. She told me to bring my friends." She paused. Eleven friends. Let's see, me, Annabeth, Percy, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Leo, umm, Nico… oh, Reyna, and Calypso. That's, one, two, three… ten. Who else?

"Will, go get Annabeth, Percy, Jason, Frank, Hazel, and Nico. Also, get someone to Iris Message Camp Jupiter. We need Reyna."

He smiled ever so slightly when she mentioned Nico's name. An almost completely undetectable smile, but she saw it. Her thoughts slid into place. Nico looking like he was going to kill someone, mainly Jason, when they got back from their talk with Cupid. The story of his reaction when Percy couldn't save Bianca. When he looked so happy exiting the infirmary yesterday. Well, I guess being the daughter of the goddess of love has its perks. Will is the eleventh.

She mulled over that until the excited party of seven burst through the doors. She tried to get out of bed again, and succeeded with only the smallest amount of excruciating agony.

"People," she said with conviction, "we have a job to do ."
