A/N; Thank you all for the positive reviews, it was amazing reading them. Here is the third chapter, a chapter that took me two weeks of writing and deleting and writing again. So I hope, you all like the chapter.

Disclaimer; Like always me does not own, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which also means I do not own the Heroes of Olympus either. Hell, I do not even own the house, I life in...So that should be enough to show how little I own.

I apologize for any grammar and/or spelling mistakes, like always there have to be some that I missed. Anyway enjoy the chapter.


Piper Mclean faced the glass doors with the word Amazon. When they told her, that they were going to meet the warrior race, Piper had expected everything but this.

She thought that they would maybe be somewhere in the Olympic National woods, living in tents or maybe small cabins.

"How could they build something like this, without anyone noticing?" Annabeth asked her gray eyes taking the structure of the building in, "And they have a cavern under the building?"

Of course. Annabeth would be only interested in the architecture wonders of this all, wasn't she concerned that a man hating warrior race belonged to one of the richest companies in the world?

"You do not want to go down there" Percy replied facing Piper and indicating for her to go first, "They locked me and Frank in a cage...A cage"

"What? You rather had them put you in a aquarium?" Leo asked a grin appearing on his face, "That is taking the son of the sea god to far"

Piper took a deep breath, ignoring the idiocy that was Leo and walked through the glass doors and stepped in to the grand lobby. Her ever changing eyes took everything in.

It seemed to be a whole lot brighter inside than it was outside. The glass walls allowed a lot of light to brighten the Lobby, the floor was a beautiful glossy black and against the far wall was a black stone staircase that led up to the next floor.

Other than that, the Lobby seemed to have a few leather couches and a small table that served as a waiting area and some plants that decorated the place.

"Can I help you?"

Piper shifted her gaze at the sudden voice, her eyes landed on the black haired woman standing on top of the staircase, "Ah yes?"

The black haired woman's eyes narrowed when she noticed their weapons, but she chose to ignore it for now, "And how can I help you?"

Piper smiled brightly and poured every ounce of charm speak in her words, "We wanted to have an audience with the Amazon Queen"

The black haired Amazon relaxed, her blue eyes filling with a apology, "I am sorry, but the Queen is currently not present"

"When will she be back?" Piper asked making sure to keep the Charm speak present in her voice, "We desperately need to see her, it is quite urgent and we would like to discuss our proposition as soon as possible"

"The Queen can't meet you" The black haired woman replied, "But if it is as urgent as you say, than you can discuss it with her second in command"

Piper faced Annabeth who whispered something to her, "Your second in command is capable of accepting our proposition? And the Queen?"

"In the Queen's absence? Than yes...In her presence our queens word is law" She nodded, "But if our second in command accepts whatever it is, you wish you discus? Than yes, the Queen will most likely agree"

Piper smiled, that was exactly what they wanted, "Than we would love to speak to your second in-" The rest of sentence was lost in her cry of pain.

Before Piper could even process what had happened, she was slammed in to the ground feeling a weight press against her chess and the sharp end of a blade against her neck, "What-" A hand was slammed against mouth clamping it shut.

Everything after that happened so fast, that Piper had trouble processing it all. The only thing that registered was the blade pressed against her neck and that her friends were surrounded by a dozen Amazon's.

"Trespassing on our territory is punishable with death" The young woman hissed her green eyes, filled with the intent to kill. "Now, why won't you drop your weapons and allow us to punish you, as we see fit?"

Kaleidoscopic eyes widened when she heard the Charmspeak in the redhead's voice, it was powerful. She could feel the words fill the lobby and effect everyone in the vicinity, "Uhm" She had to do something, she was the only one that could do something against this woman.

This was bad, this was very bad...They had not counted on someone who could resist her Charmspeak, let alone use it.

From the corner of her eye, Piper could see them become victims of the woman's ability, this was going wrong very fast.

Jason.

Oh god...She had to help him, he needed her. Piper tried to get the woman off her, but the only reaction she got from the redhead was that she pressed the blade harder against her neck.

"Now, you wanted to see me? And do what, exactly?" The woman asked her lips twisting in a dark and evil smirk, "Charmspeak me? How foolish of you"'

"Uhmm"

The woman tilted her head, her green filling with mocking amusement, "Oh? Is something wrong? Cat got your tongue?" She narrowed her eyes which had taken an almost wicked glow, "Not so great without your precious power, are you?"

Piper noticed the woman they had been speaking to, approach the redhead, the look she send Piper was one filled with the desire to tear her apart.

The young woman bowed her head in respect, "Forgive me...I almost allowed them in to our midst" Her blue eyes glaring at Piper, "I fell in her trap, before I even realized"

"It doesn't matter, even if you allowed them up" The redhead moved the blade across her captives neck, "They would have spoken with me, and I would have recognized, that she was one manipulating little girl"

"What do you wish to do with them?"

Piper's eyes widened she tried to shift her body and get the woman off her, if only she could get a hold of dagger. She would be able, to fight her and charmspeak her friends free of this woman's hold.

"It is adorable, that you think, that with a weapon you can actually stand a chance" She placed her hand against Piper's throat and pressed down hard, "There that is taken care off"

Piper almost wanted ask what...But she got her answer when she felt something burn in her throat. Her eyes filled with tears as she tried to understand what the woman did to her.

"Take them to the holding cells, our Queen will pass judgment" She stood up and dragged Piper with her, "Confiscate all their weapons, they won't resist"

Piper saw her chance when the woman removed her hand from her mouth, she could finally use her ability, "..." She opened her mouth to call for Jason but not a sound came out, "..."

What? What was going on? What happened to her voice? She turned around when she heard the mocking laugh, "..."

"How long, will it take, for you to realize?" She asked tilting her head to the side, her green eyes mocking her, "Hmm? I mean even you should realize that, once you open your mouth and no sound comes out, that it won't work a second, a third nor a fourth time right?"

Her voice? She took her voice? How? When...The burning...She used something, some ability? What was she? How could someone, steal someone's else voice?

Her voice! That was her power, without it, she was basically useless. Her ever changing eyes, swept over the lobby spotting the various Amazon's standing their weapons drawn.

She could not win...Not against so many, and definitely not without her voice. If she could not use, Charmspeak she would not be able, to free her friends.

"Weapon?" The redhead asked taking a step towards her, smiling when she Piper to a step away from her, "I am on a time limit, here. My lunch break is almost over and I still need to buy it"

She was mocking her. The way she said it, reminded her of someone else. Piper's eyes narrowed when she recalled the last person, who said something in those lines to her.

The Roman leader.

Piper reached for her dagger and wanted to pull it out of her belt, but before she could even touch it. She was kicked in the stomach and swept of her feet, in such a swift and fast movement. That Piper didn't even realize someone had moved.

She fell towards the ground and would have landed quite painfully, if someone didn't grab her hair as she fell and pulled her back up.

Piper resisted the urge to cry out in pain, and faced the person who had attacked. Piercing green eyes, were filled with pure and uncontrolled rage.

"Your brains? What in the name of Hecate happened to your brains?" The woman asked her green eyes flashing dangerously, "By the Goddess...You are, how you survived this long is beyond me"

She hated her. She really hated her, if she did not stop mocking and insulting her...Piper stumbled when she was pushed towards the stairs.

Jason and Percy were forced down the stairs, Piper tried to reach for Jason opening her mouth to call for him, "..." She closed her eyes when she realized that she had lost her voice, and that he would be unable to hear her.

Piper's eyes swept over his person and was glad to see, that despite the Charmspeak effecting him that he was unharmed.

She had to think...She had to find a way to safe him. Jason needed her, and that was enough to push her fear to the back ground.

She was Piper Mclean the head councilor of cabin ten. She had been on a quest to save the Goddess Hera in her first week at camp. And she was one of the seven who were prophesied to defeat the Titan Gaea.

She closed the doors of death and had been constantly fighting monsters. This...This was nothing, she could handle a few Amazons.

She would find a way to help Jason. She would save him, even if that was the last thing she would do. All she had to do was think, there had to be way out of this.


There were days that Mackenzie wished that Reyna was an heartless woman. One that lead with a iron hand and killed all those that opposed her.

It would surely make her job easier.

But alas, that was not the case. Reyna was -sadly- a very kind woman ( If you looked behind the cold front, she was an really warm and passionate person)

And she honestly loved the girl but sometimes...There were times that she wished the woman would be cruel...Mackenzie knew, that she was capable of showing near ruthlessness in battle.

Take this situation for example...She would have loved to tear the Charm speaker apart for trying to control one of her sisters. It angered her, that someone was so willing to use a power as dangerous as the ability to control another human being.

She seemed to be unaware of the pain that came with the power, but Mackenzie knew that one day the girl would learn that it was more of a curse than it was a gift.

One day she would say the wrong thing to the wrong person, she may not mean it but she would accidently use her ability and...Mackenzie closed her eyes and pushed the awful memories back and concentrated on the task at hand.

She sighed when she noticed the brunette looking around their distribution center, probably searching for a way to escape.

"I will warn you Barbie"

The Charm speaker shot her a glare that was probably meant to be threatening but all it did was cause her to smirk in amusement, "Cute and all, but you are holding me up, so if you would?"

Knowing that she couldn't talk at the moment, the brunette turned around and followed her friends on the metal stairs.

Mackenzie followed them making sure to keep her charmspeak present in her orders, she raised an eyebrow when she caught the glare of the girl, "Hmm? Is there a problem? You can't possibly be opposed against me using this ability right?"

All she received from her was a look filled with defiance and the desire to give, her a piece of her mind. It seemed like the brunette was against the way she was treating her friends.

Mackenzie's eyes narrowed, "You girl, have some nerve. Isn't this the exact same thing you did. Weren't you planning to use, your charmspeak against me? Manipulate me to agree with whatever it was that you idiots were after?"

Knowing that the girl was still unable to talk Mackenzie decided to just show her, how dangerous this ability, she was toying with was.

What did she think? That it was a game? Mackenzie reached for her and grabbed her shoulder, her green eyes glaring down at the shorter girl, "How about, I ask them to jump?" She smirked when she saw the girls eyes widened as she paled, "Oh? Does that scare you? Maybe if I do it, you will learn your lesson"

Kaleidoscopic eyes flashed, daring her to hurt anyone and that she would make sure that she would pay.

"Is that a challenge? I never back down, so don't tempt me to actually do it" Mackenzie said pushing her on to the catwalk and leading her towards the many cages, "Now get your ass moving"

Yes. She really wished that Reyna was a little more cruel. Then she could at least make an example out of this girl. The girl really believed that she could talk her way out of everything, didn't she realize that there were people that could resist such ability? And that, when they realized what was happening, that they would most probably kill her?

Not that she cared, but still it was somewhat disturbing that someone could have such a childish view of it all. It seemed like her so called gift, brought her nothing but joy.

"Oh? What is this?" A soft voice asked pulling Mackenzie out of her thoughts, "A present? For little ole me? Oh, dear you shouldn't have"

Mackenzie's eyes landed on the beautiful dark haired woman sitting on the crate her trusted magazine in her hand, "Zinah. Meet our newest prisoners" She pushed the brunette in one of the cells and locked the cage, " They tried to Charmspeak their way in, wanting an audience with the Queen"

"Ironic, all they had to do was just ask" Zinah said her brown eyes landing on the charm speaker and flashed with disgust, "Venus?"

"Who else?" Mackenzie sighed her green eyes landed on the annoying Charm speaker, "She works on my nerves"

"Mia, dear. The weather works on your nerves" Zinah said shifting her gaze back towards the magazine in her hands, "So? Where is my lunch?"

"Really, you are impossible" Mackenzie said her lips twitching in a smile, "I will send someone, Burger king?

Zinah shot her a glare, "And what part of Burger king is Hallal? You want me to live on fries?" She sighed shaking her head, "Vegetarian than and please make sure it is vegetarian. And if they started selling something with fish, than that will do"

Mackenzie laughed feeling some of the anger of the whole situation disappear, "Whatever you desire...On a side note, we keep them here, until she returns?"

"Do we have a choice?" Zinah asked shifting her gaze towards the caged Demigod's, "Don't worry, I will watch over them. No one will get pass me, especially that child of Ares"

"She is on a crusade and she is searching for anything...And I mean anything that may show, Rey is unfit to be Queen"

Zinah laughed softy, "As our dear Queen would say, this should proof to be interesting" She flipped a page her eyes widened when she saw something that interested her, "Katherine should be back, so we will guard them...You get me, my lunch"

Mackenzie shifted her gaze towards the five caged demigods, "Our Queen will, see what she will do with you" She lifted her hand and tapped the bars, "Piece of advice, these cages are magically enhanced, do you know what that means?"

"It means your abilities are useless in there. The minute the doors were locked the cages ability was activated" Zinah added with such ease that one could, wonder how many times she has done this.

Mackenzie smiled her green eyes filling with pride, "One of our better inventions, I myself helped design them...It works so perfectly, that it doesn't matter what your ability is"

"Child of Jupiter, Pluto or Neptune" Zinah said flipping another page, "You power will be nullified, I know we are ingenious"

Mackenzie faced the charm speaker, "I will return your voice, and I will share a little secret with you" She stepped towards the brunette, "Charm speak won't work on her"

"And if you dare to use it on someone, I won't hesitate to kill you" Zinah said from her position on the crate, "The Queen doesn't need five people, to have an audience with"

"There you have it" Mackenzie said snapping her fingers and felt the small tingling of her magic flow through her body, "All fixed. You know a normal person would say, thank you"

Zinah laughed probably realizing the hell she had put the poor girl through, "And to think, I could have been the one that had the chance to play with them"

"Yeah, if only you weren't so lazy" Mackenzie replied her green eyes swept over the five prisoners, what was it? There was something about them that looked familiar, "I will be right back and Zinah?"

Zinah didn't bother to face her and just flipped another a page, "Hmm? This is a nice purse, you think I can get an advanced payment, if I ask nicely?"

"It never hurts to ask" Mackenzie replied turning around and walking back towards the stairs, "And Zinah? There is something about them, that I don't like" Mackenzie said the last part in the ancient language of the Amazon's and gave the silent order that if they did something, anything that she had the right to kill them.

"Affirmative"

The red haired woman nodded, waved goodbye and left the most sadistic Amazon with the prisoners. If there was someone who was capable of killing, without feeling anything it was the daughter of Demeter...No Zinah was defiantly the daughter of Ceres the Roman Goddess.

She had never asked the woman, what her live had looked like, before she joined the Amazon's five years ago. It must have been something awful, that had erased the usual kindness that came with the children of the Goddess of nature.

Zinah lacked compassion in battle- Make that always- she lacked mercy and once she made you her enemy she finished you off.

Amazon or no Amazon, the woman didn't care. So could you imagine what she would do with someone, who wasn't considered to be one of them?

Mackenzie sighed mentally shaking her head, where did she get the right to think about someone else past like that?

It wasn't like hers was so pretty. She was the worst, she was after all the one who murdered her father, "Great...This was not how, I imagined my Monday to be"

She jumped off the remaining stairs and made her way through the aisles and the exit, she needed to grab her coat, which she had left where again?


Zinah crossed her legs and continued to go through the magazine in her hand, "It won't work" She said when she heard the hushed whispers behind her, "That cage nullifies all abilities, so unless you have an ability that can nullify the nullifying aspects of that cage, you are stuck"

"I am so sorry...This is all my fault"

Zinah sighed, Mackenzie wasn't kidding when she said the girl worked on her nerves. How many times could a human being possible apologize?

"There was no way, we could anticipate this...You tried your best, that was all we could ask of you" The blond man she had identified as Jason said, "So don't beat yourself up over it, Pipes"

And how many times could a man, comfort someone else before it turned annoying, Zinah wondered flipping another page, "She should, it is her fault you know"" Zinah said not bothering to face the blond as she felt his glare, "You are in there, because, she used that mind raping ability"

"Don't listen to her beauty Queen she doesn't know, what she is talking about" The Joker named Leo said his voice lacking the resentment that his friend had showed her, "We will get out of here and you will show her"

"Show me, what exactly? That by using a mind raping ability, to get the favor of a warrior race, will get me locked away?" Zinah asked enjoying this new found hobby, "Well then, I humbly thank for that eye opener"

"I should have acted faster or something" Piper complained again, "I endangered you all, because I was so slow"

Zinah didn't know whether she should laugh or ask Katherine to do check up on this girl. She couldn't possibly believe that, they were in that cage because she was slow? Just what was wrong with the girl?

"Did your parent drop you as a child?" Zinah asked finally looking up from her magazine, "Because there is no way, you can actually think that, that is the reason you are captured"

Piper shot her a glare that on anyone else would have been, considered dangerous but all it did was cause Zinah to laugh, "Why won't you bother someone"

"And did she learn her lesson?" Zinah asked returning back to her magazine, "O, no surrey. This woman just continues to use, the despicable ability known as mind raping"

"Would you stop saying that?" Jason snapped becoming fed up with the annoying woman, "Just ignore her Pipes"

"Oh yes, Pipes" Zinah said feeding on their annoyance, "Ignore me and with that, the whole world" She flipped back a page when she spotted something she liked, "Because that is, what we want to teach our children, if we want something we mind rape them and if it doesn't work, we try harder"

She looked up facing the five demigods, "What a good mentality. And then we wonder why the world is so fucked up and wars and hate crimes, exist" She shook her head, "But don't worry Pipes, you can charmspeak it all away, because that is the new morality of our world"

Zinah returned back to her magazine, "If Reyna could hear you guys, right now...The woman would have a field day with you all"

She looked up when she heard the gasp, her eyes falling on the blond male, "Is something wrong, with that name?" Zinah asked her brown eyes narrowing, "She is the one, that decides you fate, so I would work on what you are going to tell her"

"Your Queen's name is Reyna?" Piper asked it had to be something in her voice that caused the Zinah to narrow her eyes, "Reyna?"

"That is Queen Reyna for you" Zinah snapped all the previous mellowness gone, "Our Queen and someone who you should genuinely fear, she eats girls like you for breakfast"

"When will she see us?"

Zinah shrugged returning back to her Magazine, "I do not know and I do not care, she will see you when she so desires"

"You did inform her? Told her, we wished to see her?"

Zinah faced the blond woman, "No, I did not...And I don't know if anyone else did" She shifted her gaze back to her magazine wondering why the brunette gave that reaction, "So do me a favor? Keep your traps shut and wait until she asks for you"

She didn't like them...She was beginning to see what it was about them, that Mia didn't trust. The brunette, the one named Piper.

Zinah made that one her target, she did not like the way she said her friends name. It was possible that they knew Reyna, the girl was the previous Praetor of Camp Jupiter and one of the leading generals/Leaders against the forces of the earth Goddess.

"Which camp do you hail from?"

"Camp Half-blood" The dark haired man named Percy said, "We are from Camp Half-blood"

So they were Greeks. Didn't Reyna help defend that camp, in the last war? Yes she did, it was the reason Queen Hylla had lead their forces to the Greek camp...Not to defend the Greeks but to support her sister.

That could explain why they could know of her, but would that get a reaction like that? No it wouldn't unless...Unless what? Reyna had scared the hell out of the girl? The gods knew how scary the woman could be sometimes.

Or something else?

Whatever it was, Zinah would take care of it. She would destroy everything that even slightly threatened her friends happiness...Zinah would erase it.

And let it be, that she had till Thursday the time to find everything that made, this group of Demigod tick.

Zinah smirked flipping another page, "I love my job" She could feel the looks the five prisoners send her, but she chose to ignore it, "I love Monday's, don't you?"


Mackenzie dashed through the corridors and towards Reyna's private kitchen. She took a sharp corner and narrowly dodged a woman carrying a tray with drinks, "Sorry...My bad"

After visiting six different offices and two trips to the Lobby and one to her car, did she finally realize were she left her coat.

She had made herself some coffee and had craved some of Reyna -not so- secret chocolate stash, so she had enjoyed the sweets in the small kitchen and it was there she had left her coat.

Maybe Kat was right and it was better to leave her coat were it belonged, in her office. Would make trips and detours like this one, unnecessary.

"First Lieutenant"

Mackenzie didn't turn around and only lifted her hand, "I am in a hurry...I will see you later" She called not bothering herself with the fact that she didn't even know who was calling her, "I will be back"

"But...It is about the-"

The rest of the woman's words were blocked out by the sound of the lifts opening and Mackenzie own call brushing her away.

It was years of practice that allowed her to glide perfectly in to the kitchen and dodge the wooden table she knew graced the middle by twirling to the side, "I get better and better-Ahhh"

She jumped back when she spotted the dark haired woman standing at the counter making herself something to drink, "Reyna? What are you doing here?"

The dark haired woman tilted an eyebrow, "Oh, I don't know Mia, what does one usually do in a kitchen?" Reyna asked lifting her cup up and showing it to the redhead, "You can have three guesses"

Mackenzie sighed leaning against the table, "Okay let me rephrase that, what are you doing here, now?" She asked frowning, "You shouldn't be back until Thursday"

Reyna shrugged making her way towards the table and took place, "A simple, welcome back Reyna. Would have been appreciated you know" She took a sip of her favorite beverage, "So? Why the rush? How many times, must I tell you, no running in the hallways"

"Yes, yes Sensei" Mackenzie said falling back in their daily routine, "I was getting, Zinah's lunch" She pulled a chair back which caused the young Queen to raise her eyebrow in question, "Demigods wished to have an audience with you"

"Ah...So they finally decided to approach me? Which Camp?" Reyna asked placing her cup back down on the table, "And what did they want, exactly?"

"I did not bother to ask"

Reyna frowned probably wondering if her second in command lost it, "You did not ask? They ask for an audience, and you did not ask who they were and what they want, because?"

"They did not ask" Mackenzie snapped her annoyance with the brunette flashing up again, "They tried to charmspeak their way in" She nodded when she saw those obsidian eyes narrow, "I know right? That was basically my reaction to"

Mackenzie could basically see the wheels in her friends brains turn and weight up all the pros and cons of allowing them, to have an audience with her.

After what seemed like hours, but was just mere minutes Reyna sighed standing up, "Fine I will allow them to see me" She took her coat and cup and made her way towards her office, "I will speak to their leader and to the leader alone, this person will have to convince me"

"Must it be a female?"

"I have no preferences, I do not wish to see the charm speaker though" Reyna said facing Mackenzie, "Ten minutes, they have ten minutes to decide who will be the one that will represent them and they can use that time, to prepare the mother of all speeches for all I care"

"Then I want to be present, at this meeting" She smiled at Reyna's 'do as you please' She sighed running her hand through her hair, "Zinah is going to kill me, this will be second time, I go down there without her lunch"

She grabbed the brown coat from one chair and made her way back towards the underground facility, "What a way to start my week, I hate Monday's"


A/N; This was it for this chapter. I don't know if I managed to keep Piper in character. As she is one hard character to write, so I hope I did well.

The OC are my own and no one has to worry, there are only three important OC who will receive their own POV, I introduced two in this chapter and the third and final one, will appear in the next one.

I also hope I managed to keep the Grammar/Spelling mistakes to a minimum. I did go over it, before i posted it. But I know, there a few somewhere.

The next chapter will be up as soon as possible. Like always I am open for feedback and any advice that can make better to follow.

See you all in the next chapter, I hope.
