Just in case if you are confused, this chapter happens a week AFTER Jason kissed Piper on the cheek... just so you know.

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson at all.

"So... Khione's on her way here?" I asked with confusion. This is like the tenth time I'm asking this, and I can see Chiron starting to get annoyed but trying hard not to show it. During the past week, ever since I talked to Jason, my memories have been coming back slowly, bit by bit piece by piece. And instead of making me understand, it makes it more confusing. I remember the time when Festus broke down and Jason, Leo, and I were falling from the sky. I remember the Cyclops tying us up and Leo did some weird fire thing with his hands and somehow saved us. I remember us building the Argo II and going to Camp Jupiter... meeting Reyna... that part was a little confusing as well. I remember a lot of stuff now... but I don't feel like I do. I'm somehow even more confused than when I first started out.

"Yes, Piper."

"Oh... How much time do we have?"

"Not much, I'm afraid. My suspicions were right before. We have a spy in this camp."

I already knew this, but the way Chiron said it just made the news so much worse. I already had a list of suspicions in my head. It could be so many people... maybe people are even pretending to be my friend. It would make sense. A family that has been so nice to me since I "met" them is bound to be suspicious. It might even be Drew...

"Are you sure about that, Chiron? I have been here for almost all my life, and I don't think anyone has ever-" Annabeth said questioningly but was cut off by Chiron.

"May I remind you of Luke Castellan?"

Annabeth eyes all of a sudden went wide, and I was about to tell Chiron to back off even though I barely knew Luke, but Chiron's eyes were holding the same amount of pain Annabeth's were. Possibly even more. So I decided to shut up.

Then Chiron turned to me. "This is a letter from your father. I didn't want to give it to you before because I was afraid you weren't ready. Now I see you were more than ready. I'm sorry from keeping it from you." He handed me a small envelope, tightly sealed meaning no one has opened it yet, and I was glad for that. Actually, I wasn't sure if I was ready. I didn't know my dad so I figured this was going to be awkward, even if it was a letter. I remembered that my dad didn't know that I forgot everything so possibly what he might be telling me, is something about my real life. Like, before I came here.

"Well... we should be preparing for battle now, shouldn't we?" Jason asked. This was the first time I heard him talk or say anything since... then. What happened about a week ago. That just made me more confused. He shouldn't really care about something as silly as that, right?

You don't find it silly, so why are you blaming it on others about what you feel? A nasty voice said in the back of my head. I quickly shook my head and went back into reality.

"Yeah... we should." Chiron said with a thoughtful look and turned away, obviously meaning that we should go. "She's not coming until three days. But for now I suggest you get some sleep."

"How do you know when she's coming?" I asked, and everything went silent.

"I saw her." Chiron said quietly. And I didn't even want to know how considering the dreams demigods can get sometimes.

And with that, everyone left.

Dear Piper,

I want you to know that everything is fine, and Mellie is treating me perfectly fine as well. You should not worry at all. Mellie told me that something happened to me on that day you hired Mellie and fired Jane. Something that you know of. I'm not asking you to tell me; I know you will when the time is right. I just want to say sorry for not being the father I know you've always wanted. It just pains me to see my only daughter all grown up, all independent. I really wish I knew what is going on and what exactly is happening. I just hope you are okay and you are looking after yourself. Once you come back to California to visit me, I'll be waiting to apologize properly. I love you, Pipes, don't ever forget that.

Love,

Dad

After reading it over and over again, I closed the letter and tucked it under my pillow. I don't remember my dad at all, but I feel heartbroken every second after reading it. I wish I knew what he was talking about, though I had a feeling I did. It seems to me that I did something to him before. He probably lost his memories about that event as well. Good to know I'm not the only one that's clueless. I know Percy told me that him and Jason lost their memories before (a different reason, of course) but it seems... different coming from my dad, who seems so close to me. That just makes me feel more guilty and more clueless. I breathe out a sigh and try to fall asleep, knowing it will be pointless after all that I've just done. Am I really that reckless as everyone pictures me to be?

"Okay, we need to start some planning and I think I have an outline of what to do." Annabeth said, starting to roll out a long sheet of paper. I meet Jason's eyes, and I know just from one glance that we're thinking the same exact thing. Really? Right now? At 2 in the morning?

This girl just can't get a break. No matter how this girl is amazing (and she really is, I'm not sarcastic about that), I think the only person who finds her blabbering talk endearing, is Percy. And even he is starting to snooze off.

"Has anybody seen Reyna?" Frank asked with his arm lazily around Hazel. Everyone looked at one another in bewilderment, just now realizing that they were missing one person.

"Nope. She's probably at Camp Jupiter or something; she normally makes random visits here and there. It's nothing really new." Jason replied, shrugging it off.

Percy was just about to drop his head from exhaustion when Annabeth whacked him upside the head. "Wake up, will you?" Percy just shook his head and smirked tiredly.

"I'm awake."

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Yeah, whatever." Then (to everyone's annoyance) went back to describing the paper. Once it was obvious to Annabeth that no one was paying attention, she finally cut to the chase. "We need to break off in groups for this. Chiron told us that Khione is going to attack in three days, two days now by the way, but we have to be there before she is."

"But aren't we already" Leo said gesturing around the room, "'there'?"

Annabeth rolled her eyes again, as if trying to explain something to a six-year old, which comparing to her and us, she probably was. "Anyways," Annabeth continued completely ignoring Leo, "We need to divide into groups."

That got everyone's attention.

She seemed to have everything already planned out because she's already starting to point to every single one of us, telling us what to do and who we're paired up with. "Percy will be with me, fighting these monsters that Chiron told me about yesterday," she said pointing to the east part of New York (most likely because Percy can control the sea). Percy slightly nodded, seeming for the first time since I met him, serious. "Hazel, Frank, and Leo since Hazel can manipulate the mist and Frank can shape-shift and Leo knows how to build things, they'll be here, fighting in the east portion of New York since that's where you'll probably need it the most." Annabeth didn't elaborate on that, but no one dared question her judgement. "And finally Jason, you'll be with Piper." Then she winced as she said the last part, even though she didn't have to. I had a feeling I knew what I had to do, even without her having to say it out loud. "You're going to be fighting Khione and her most respected followers, considering Piper, you don't really have a choice."

I nodded while still looking at the ground, finding some new interest in the floor rather than the conversation. I swallowed hard, trying not to faint again and almost barely managing to not. "Okay, well let's be getting on our way then. They could be here soon."

As we walked out of the camp, we all looked at each other in grief, as if feeling that things were going to be different by the time they came back. Annabeth hugged me, something that was so unlike her, and I've come to realize she only hugs when she feels happy (like when she hugged me when she realized I was "okay" after being hit by that ice block). So I let her hug me. She whispered in my ear, "when we get back, it is a good chance something's going to change. And I want you to remember who you are when it does." Then she pulled away. Remember who I am? Sorry buddy, but I'm having a little trouble with that...

Then we all went separate ways.

It was quiet for a while before Jason finally said something, "It's going to be okay, you know. I have faith in you. I always have. If anyone can defeat her, and may I remind you you already did, it's you."

I rolled my eyes, not believing him and asked, "How is she even alive anyways? If I really killed her, then how would she be coming back?"

Jason went silent for a while before answering, "you killed her before the Doors of Death were fully closed. Maybe she got back somehow like that."

I nodded; that made sense. Now that the Doors of Death are finally closed, I might be able to kill her forever. Another flash hit me. It seemed to be one of the more earlier memories of mine because Jason, Leo, and I looked a lot younger. We were sitting in a bus with a lot of kids around our age. I remembered Leo constantly making jokes in one of the back seats and Jason and I talking.

(A/N: The next part, only the italics, belong to the Lost Hero only from Rick Riordan. I do not own this part at all. Just the POV is a little different for the sake of the story.)

"Guys, seriously," Jason pleaded. "What am I doing here? Where are we going?"

I knitted my eyebrows. "Jason, are you joking?"

"No! I have no idea-"

"Aw, yeah, he's joking," Leo said. "He's trying to get me back for that shaving cream on the Jell-O thing, aren't you?"

Jason stared at him blankly.

"No, I think he's serious." I tried to take his hand again, but he pulled it away.

"I'm sorry," he said. "I don't- I can't-"

I was interrupted when Jason started shaking me. It was then that I realized that I was on the ground, shaking and sweating hard. "Pipes," Jason said, "Piper, what's going on?"

"What's going on? Why were you holding my hand like that? Why did I think you were my-" I got cut off by a knife hurling my way, which narrowly missed me by a few inches in a nearby tree trunk.

"Piper, we got to move now!" Jason said while hauling me up to my feet. "Piper-" Another knife. This one hit Jason near the stomach. It wasn't that direct, but Jason fell instantly. I felt a nausea wave hit through me as new memories hit me. And I almost blacked out again. But I knew I had to stay awake, at least for a while. But my body reacted before my brain did, although they were on the same side. Because the next thing I knew, I was screaming out (hopefully with charmspeak, but I was too shocked to focus), "Jason! Jason, you hear me? Wake-" I was stopped with a hand on my mouth. I started panicking. The memories were now finally starting to come back, and this had to happen?

I elbowed the person hard in the ribs and was surprised to hear a cry exclaim out of the person's mouth. A girl's voice. One that I learned to recognize very well from the past couple of weeks.

"Reyna?"

Dun, Dun, Duuuuuuuuuuun. Yeah, so, cliffy, much? And don't kill me just yet for making Reyna bad! You have to read the entire thing first. And then you can kill me. Deal? Deal. I'd like to give a shout out to those who were sort of expecting this or were sort of suspicious of Reyna. I tried giving out subtle hints about Reyna, but I apologize if they were too subtle I just didn't want to give it away too badly.

So, yes, Piper remembers some things now (sort of about Jason, but she still can't really rap her head around it) but she still doesn't know some things. Next chapter... I bet you can already guess it. KHIONE DRAMA! Let's get this party started. Hehe...

Reviews are awesome, by the way! This story is coming to an end soon... I don't know how many more chapters, but it's probably soon.

Till next time,
