Thanks for reading! again i don not own any of Rick Riordan's characters :) Would Appreciate reviews, thanks to Lost-In-A-New-World and Wannabeademigod01 for there reviews

I didn't know how to think my whole body felt numb, but yet it was still alive with pain. "Not Piper and Jason" I say so quietly I don't think anyone could hear "they're both so strong how could something like this have happened" this time dad heard me.

"Sometimes even the best of us are beaten but I'm sure they will be ok, they are both very strong people, Nico and Will went to New Rome yesterday to help, Hazel and Frank were already there" A sob escapes his lips as he says "I wish we could go but the camp is in danger we need to be here."

"I'm sure they'll understand" says Mum.

"No we need to go" I scream I can't imagine Piper's face usually so full of emotions still and empty. "We need to help them and what about Tristan and Amy."

"They'll be in good hands we'll go as soon as we can" says dad " we wish we were there."

"But we need to be doing something now" I say in frustration hot tears streaming down my face. "Surely we can be doing something."

"We wish we were, but there are things that need to be done here first, honey" Mum says with a sympathetic look. I pull the duvet over my head in resignation and watch my tears soak into the mattress. I hear mum and Rachel talking quietly, they were both close to Piper.

But they didn't seem to be as upset as me Piper was like the older sister I wish I had beautiful, smart and a great fighter, My memories of her full of life laughing and talking just seem so real, I still can't picture stiff and blank.

"You've told them I see" Chiron's strong voice fills the room, I slowly pull my head out of the duvet as chiron makes his way over to me "Great warriors are injured all the time, but Jason and Piper are strong and will pull through, but the most important thing is they have supports and friends with them, that's why I think you should all go over as soon as possible."

I smile almost feeling ok "But what about the situation?" Mum asks.

"I've got it sorted" Chiron says with a grim expression "you are needed there more than here."

"Thanks so much" Dad says as he runs over and crushes Chiron in a huge hug "thanks so much." Dad and mum come sit on either side of me and it's my turn for the hug I catch one last glimpse of chiron walking out of the room a single tear in the corner of his eye before the emotion of the last hour kicked in and burst into tears and pushed head up against dad's shoulder wondering how it was possible that I hadn't run out of tears yet.

Mum was the first one to pull away. Making a mental list of everything they would need to bring and who to tell "change of clothes, toothbrushes, books lots and lots of books, we need to tell Leo, well we need to ask him if he'll come and bring sammy." I perked up at the idea that Sammy might be coming and a giggle escaped my lips as the thought of him drenched in water resurfaced in my mind.

"That's my girl" Dads says giving me a soft squeeze " Why don't we go give your mum a hand?" ok I say getting of the mattress and almost fall over "Oops I forgot you were injured are you able to walk?"

"Yeah I'm fine just a bit wobbly" I say carefully walking over to the door and get back into the swing of it "Yes I'm definitely feeling better" I state with a skip down the stairs and trip and land on my face. I pick myself up trying trying not to let anyone see me blushing, but unfortunately today is not my day I hear a loud laugh beside me I turn around and see Sammy leaning against a tree clutching his stomach and laughing loudly, my cheeks turn an even brighter pink, I give him my best glare.

"Oh you better watch it that's the same glare Annabeth gives me when I've done something wrong, I'm glad I'm not in your shoes" Dad says as he backs away from me slowly holding his hands up like I'm a dangerous animal he's trying to calm. I poke my tongue out at him and he does the same back "You really are just like me" He says as he turns around to find Mum chuckling to himself.

I take a step forwards and my foot catches on a stray branch in front of me and I land on my face yet again. This time Sammy is laughing so hard he ends up rolling around on the ground. I quickly roll over letting my instincts kick in, pounce on top of him pinning him down with a dagger to his throat. "Still laughing" I say grinning. I enjoy the look of surprise spreading across his face and then the bright pink that comes into his cheeks.

"Ok I'm sorry I've just never seen anyone fall on their face twice within the space of ten minutes."

"Hmm would you like to lose your ear or your eyebrow first?" I ask trying to act serious.

"I think an ear because that's not in the middle of my handsome face" he answered.

"Ok then" I say feinting hitting his ear, but I start to feel a bit woozy, Sammy senses that I am not focused and elbows me in the shoulder and rollls us over so now he is the one pinning us down.

"Look who might be losing an ear now" he says mocking me.

"Haha very funny" I respond sarcastically "You can get off me now."

"You know most girls enjoy being in close proximity like this with a guy" he says

"I might be if I didn't feel like I was going to be sick, which means you might want to get off me if you don't want to be covered in my partly digested food."

"I'm not falling for that one again" he responds.

"Again?" I question.

"Umm yeah lets not get into…" He didn't have time to finish his sentence because my stupid stomach decided it didn't want to keep those biscuits down. Sammy looked disgusted there was vomit all down his front.

"I'm so sorry, I did warn you to get off me" I say trying to turn it into a joke.

"It's ok I can have a shower but I don't think these clothes are ever going to smell the same again."

"I'm so sorry I promise vomiting on people isn't a regular thing with me." I try to stand up but am still feeling woozy and decide to lie down again. Sammy peers down at me the look of disgust had been replaced by one of worry.

"Do you want some help? Can you stand?" he asks.

"If you could help me to the bathrooms that would be great." I say.

"Are we already at that stage are we, moving a bit fast" He says laughing at his joke but stops when he says my expression and bends down to help me up. I walk with his help and weirdly enough I was enjoying being this close to him, even when we both smelled like puke. He wasn't exactly good looking but I liked his smile. I turn to glance up at him and am about to apologise again when mum sees me.

"Bianca what happened?" she asks running over.

"Don't worry nothing serious just feeling about woozy, thank goodness Sammy was there to help me." I say.

"Lets get you to the bathroom to clean this up, thanks so much for your help Sammy, also Leo is looking for you so you better go find him, thanks again" Mum says guiding me towards the bathrooms.

"So you and Sammy seem to be getting along well." Mum says.

"Yeah he's really nice and funny" I say then start blushing when I realise who I'm talking to, unfortunately mum picks up on why I'm blushing.

"Do you 'like' him" mum asks rolling her eyes, you know I was around your age when I realised I liked your father.

"Eww gross mum! Of course I don't like him like that. Lets go finish packing I can't wait to go see Tristan and Amy, will Emily be there too?" I ask.

"Yes Frank and Hazel will be there with Emily" She answered.

"Mum do you really think Piper and Jason will be ok?" I ask with tears in my eyes.

"Yes they will be fine, the sooner we get there the better" She says her own eyes watering but I could tell she was trying to keep It together for me. I give her a big hug to let her know that I will be there for her as much as she is here for me. "Lets go finish helping dad pack."
