Hey guys, sorry about the last chapter; as I said I don't really have much planned for Jason and I don't even know why I put him as a narrator, honestly. Until I figure out what to do with him I promise to make it up to you guys in the Pipers chapters and in the Tartarus chapters, so yeah keep reading and enjoy! And BTW, the real house of hades is being released on the 8th of October (so excited) so it will be a challenge to finish the story, but I'm up for the challenge of finishing it. Sorry for any typos, errors or any ooc.

Piper - 9

Piper had sat up in her room locked up since that disturbing dream she kept having. Besides the dream there were also the visions in Katropas. That was definitely troubling Piper a lot, as well.

There was also that troubling business card. In Pipers reoccurring dream, Tityos had given her a 'business card' which was on her bedside table when she had woken up. Even worse was the fact that when she had thrown it out the porthole in her cabin it managed to miraculously reappear on her bedside table. She had tried everything to get rid of it including, burning, ripping and even trying to flush it down the toilet, yet nothing seemed to work because every time she destroyed it minutes later it would appear back on her bedside table.

Piper definitely needed to have a talk with that giant. Every night he would appear in her dreams every night, each time with something new to say or to show her.

Piper didn't want to tell Jason about Tityos dream stalking her. If he heard he would absolutely have a fit, that a giant was stalking Piper. That was seriously out of line and messed up.

Now Piper was in the sick bay with Jason. Jason was in a stable condition, which was an absolute relief. Nico had attacked Jason and no one knew where it had come from. Jason had been fatally wounded, luckily he was recovering after a dose of nectar.

Piper had Jason's head in her lap and was stroking his hair while he was asleep.

Piper had volunteered to watch Jason for the night. Jason had nearly bled out, over dinner as he had lost so much blood, and Piper didn't want a relapse of what had happened before.

Everything was quiet which was good. Piper guessed it was about two in the morning, but she couldn't really tell. She was with Jason and that was all that mattered.

Piper was beginning to feel tired herself and wanted to go to sleep, but she wouldn't let herself. She was terrified if she did, what deals Tityos would try to make with her tonight. To be honest Tityos creeped Piper out. He was always one step ahead of them and always seemed to know everything and knew exactly how to use her deepest and darkest feelings against her.

Piper knew she couldn't stay awake forever. It was impossible, well at least it is unless you're a vampire piper thought to herself.

Piper shut her eyes for a split second and blinked them open the next moment.

Thank the gods, she hadn't fallen asleep.

Everything was the same as before, Piper was sitting in the sick bay with Jason, it was still early morning but there was one thing different. Standing out on the deck was a tall man in a tuxedo. She couldn't see his face. He was abnormally skinny and had no face.

Piper drew Katropas from her belt and shook Jason's shoulder and said "Jason, get out of here, there a monster out in the hall. Take the other door and wake everyone else, I'll fend it off" Piper said.

To her dismay Jason remained totally unconscious. He suddenly became as stiff as a board and stopped breathing. Gods no, Piper whispered. This wasn't happening.

Piper slapped herself across the face to try and wake herself up, yet nothing had happened. Oh no, Gods no, I've fallen asleep, Piper muttered to herself.

The thing out in the hallway wasn't a monster, it was Tityos and obviously he had come to make another deal again. Gods what Piper would give for him to stop stalking her!

Angrily Piper shouted "What do you want from me!?"

Next thing Piper knew was that she was in a palace. This palace was made of shiny black stone. Where on earth was she? Tityos emerged from out of the shadows and said "please excuse me spiriting you away, I however needed to talk to you. I believe you will want to hear what I have to say, Piper Mclean?"

"I'm not agreeing to anything until you tell me where I am!" Piper yelled at Tityos.

"Well, your quite a feisty one, but believe me, you will want to make this deal with me once you hear the price involved" Tityos said, while pacing back and forth down the hall.

"I will say it once more, I am not interested in anything you have to say, now would you stop stalking me!" Piper said, with her voice becoming shaky.

"Piper Mclean, I just wanted to give you a warning. If you don't join our side there will be consequences, your friends will get hurt, some might just die. Is that what you really want?"

"If I joined you it would make no difference. My friends are already hurt and you and Gaea are going down even if it means I go down to with you! Your threats are empty, you've made threats to me before and you didn't follow through with them, All empty threats. Besides if you really wanted me on your side you wouldn't hurt any of my friends in the first place as getting even would be the first thing on my mind, not joining Gaea, so do yourself a favor and go take this talk to someone who will listen!"

Piper had put as much charmspeak into her words as she could muster. Tityos then said, "Piper Mclean, I offered a truce to you. You truly are a foolish girl. I'll be seeing you later, but then we will be enemies on the field of battle. I offered you the option to become a double spy, that would have ensured the safety of your friends. I can tell you this now, one of your friends is going to die and you will have their blood on your hands. Goodbye for now, Piper Mclean."

Tityos gave a flick of his hand and Piper was sent flying.

She smashed through the large windows overlooking a city below and was falling. Piper was screaming her lungs out. She had heard that if you die in your sleep, you die for real and gods if the fall didn't kill her she was sure the fear would.

Piper was flying through the free-fall. Her hair was blowing all around her as she fell. She knew it was only a dream, she had to somehow wake up from it.

Piper pinched herself hard enough that she drew blood. Piper gasped in pain when she realized that she had heaps of cuts and grazes on her from being sent flying out of a window. Piper was covered in blood and for the first time she was scared, really scared as in terrified. This wouldn't have been happening if Piper had of agreed with Tityos, even worse was the fact that one of her friends was going to die because of her actions.

But then again Tityos was probably messing with Piper. He had already gotten to her head, through all those dreams. He had already started to win.

Piper was getting closer and closer to smashing into the ground below. Was it ten feet, or a hundred feet, Piper wondered. It was getting closer and closer and Piper didn't have Jason's powers of flying, so the only thing to do was close her eyes and wait for it to happen. She knew it was happening any time soon.

Three, Two, One, Piper counted to herself before finally smashing into the ground.

Her whole body ached. The sky could have just fallen on her, that's how tremendous the pain was. A thousand, white hot knifes would have felt pleasant compared to this.

Piper could feel she had obviously broken some bones and maybe cracked her ribs, just maybe. Gods Piper hoped not.

But then again it was only a dream and for all she knew, she might just wake up from a heavy sleep, Hopefully so. Hopefully it was something Tityos wanted to scare Piper into joining him. Tityos' previously words echoed through her mind saying "All you are is a puppet. I pull the strings and you do what I say" and a whole heap of laughter, the laughter of Gaea.

Piper woke up with a gasp, panting and sweating but so glad it had all been just a dream. She was back in the sick bay nursing Jason's head in her lap. Jason was still asleep and was snoring. At least he wasn't being stalked by a psycho giant, Piper thought to herself totally relieved.

Piper then went to get up only to be stopped by a tremendous pain that was resonating from all over her body. Piper tried moving again only to be stopped in her tracks yet again gasping in pain.

Piper examined her arm and to her total shock it was covered in blood. There were glass shards sticking out. Piper felt blood on her face and on her shirt.

Piper didn't have a mirror to examine her face but was certain she had cuts on her face as well from smashing through the window.

When she tilted her head, Piper noticed her ribs were sticking out and bleeding.

It wasn't only her ribs, It was all over. Any bone she could see inside her body was sticking out at odd angles. Piper was a mangled mess. It was totally disgusting. Piper felt like puking from the sight.

But finally Piper noticed in front of her was a note, she could just read without having to tilt her head forward. On it, read "I wasn't bluffing, I really hope you reconsider my offer. Yours sincerely Tityos"

Gods if Piper could move she would have so destroyed that note and shredded it into a million pieces. She couldn't. She was totally crippled and couldn't move. No one was up besides her, and she couldn't wake Jason, she would just have to wait for Jason to wake up and discover her in this current state. That was the only option. Piper was bleeding badly and just hoped she wouldn't bleed out before someone discovered her. All Piper could do was wait.
