A/N: Ok, so a lot of you brought this to my attention: I mixed up the movie with the book. I read that book last summer and if my memory was any worse, I could plan my own surprise party. =\ so, sorry about any inconvenience and no, I'm not using the movie version for all of it and I didn't take that as a flame (you know who you are). And I do know that I screwed up on the first chapter to, but if you think that you could make the story exactly correct, go ahead and write it; I'm sure that people will criticize you too (you know who you are again). Anyways, now that I'm done with that, after many PM's and reviews, this chapter will be about… *drumroll* YOU'LL SEE! Ha-ha, I know y'all just love when I do that!
The horn blew for lunch. Leo and Jason, still quite, almost ran out of there, leaving Piper in the dust. Leo flipped out the lights when he left, leaving Piper in the dark. The door started to close and Piper grabbed her knife and ran to the door but BAM! It closed before she could get out. She hit the door.
"LEO!" she screamed.
Nothing happened.
"LEO!" she yelled again. "THIS ISN'T FUNNY! OPEN THE DOOR!"
No one came.
Oh gods, she thought. I'm going to be stuck in here. Everyone's going to come looking for me. I hope….
It was pitch dark, and this place was a death trap if you didn't know where/what you were doing. She felt her way to the counter where a knife laid. It sliced her hand open; not that she knew how it did. All she did was lay her hand down. Piper jerked her hand away, making the knife fall to the ground. She pulled out her knife, but even the light it usually reflects didn't help.
It smelt like dust and she thought it was shrinking. In this place, it probably was, considering the bunkers magical and all. She couldn't see anything, and she felt like a blind person. It suddenly didn't feel interesting anymore; it felt creepy. She gripped her hand when she cut it and wrapped it in her t-shirt. She felt with her good hand on the counter and couldn't feel anything on there. She jumped up there and sat down.
Piper looked around. Her eyes were adjusting, but all she barely saw was the silhouette of the things. She laid her head back against the wall and looked around with her eyes. This was going to be a while.
An hour or two later (Piper had lost track of the time) the door came open and Leo and Jason walked in, laughing it up, not even paying attention to her. Piper slammed Leo into the wall with her forearm and jerked Jason next to him with her other hand.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Leo yelled, trying to break free, but Piper had a snake like grip.
"Oh, me?" she said, ticked and trying not to scream. The lights came on. "Oh, you two only locked me in here for the whole lunch time, but it's just for a celebration!" She said a few more words than let them go. "So, thanks; I really appreciated it."
Leo and Jason were shocked. Jason looked at his shirt.
"Why is there blood on my shirt?" he asked.
"Nothing, not like you two care," she growled. She threw on her jacket as the rain came down hard. "Just finish the boat yourself; you don't need me anyways. I'm only the daughter of Aphrodite so all I can do is make people do what I want!"
"Piper," Leo said. "Just stop! We never said that!"
"Oh don't give me that! You know good and well that you two have thought it! I'm leaving!"
Piper grabbed her knife, flipped up her hood, and ran out of there before they could protest. She ran to the top of the hill to Zeus's Fist and she could hear their footsteps behind her. She sprinted into the forbidden part of the woods and climbed up a gigantic oak tree. Once she got up high enough if she would've fell she would've been seriously hurt, she sat down on a gigantic branch and let the rain fall on her. Jason and Leo ran to the bottom of the tree and caught their breath.
"Piper," Jason panted, "come down! We didn't mean to lock you in!"
"But you didn't seem to notice, now did you?" she muttered. She raised her voice: "Just leave me alone! Not like you two care or anything!"
"Piper," Leo said, "Jason has a huge crush on you and I don't think he's going to leave unless he has to fly up there and get you down."
"I've already fell for that once, Leo. I'm not falling for it again."
She climbed up higher, when Jason said: "It's true, Piper. And this time, it's not the Mist."
She stopped and gripped the tree branches. She looked down at the one she was standing on, catching a glimpse at Jason and Leo soaking wet, looking up at her. He just doesn't get it, does he? All this time, she thought, I've been trying to get over him. I've forced myself to believe it was a dream. And NOW he wants to say that he likes me and he has to get Leo to do it.
A gust of wind came and she gripped the branches tighter. She moved her left hand to the same branch as her right hand when the branch at her feet cracked. She looked frantically around the tree for another branch, but there wasn't one, and she felt it give off just a little. She gripped the branch tighter, looked down, and then screamed as the branch plummeted to the ground. Jason and Leo didn't even have time to move. The wind came so hard it hit them in the chest. Leo flew back and hit the tree behind them, knocking the wind out of them as it flew Jason back and it landed on him twice. He fell on the rocks, unconscious.
"JASON!" Piper screamed, trying to get her footing on the tree, but it was no use; there wasn't one. Her fingers slid a little. Leo looked up at her, but it hit him so hard, that he couldn't move. It knocked the breath out of him and he was holding his chest. He had two or three broken ribs, but he just looked at Piper like it was all his fault.
Her fingers slipped some more. She took a glance at Jason. He was unconscious, on his side, back towards her, lying beside the tree. The side of his head was bleeding, and he seemed to be stirring, but she couldn't tell. Piper tried to get a better grip as the rain poured down so hard it stung, but it backfired. She slipped and fell. She hit three branches on the way down – hard. She was three stories high and she was praying to Aphrodite not to let her die. Leo let out a scream and then she felt something hard slam into her back: the ground.
She looked around and tried to breathe, but her vision was blurry and it hurt to breath. She heard someone pulling themselves towards her – Leo, probably – but she couldn't tell because after that, it was complete darkness.
A/N: ok, I might have told a little lie: I ran out of time because I got to go to bed and so the mystery person's story about Percy will be next chapter. Sorry for anything, but please: no flames. No one likes those, especially me.
