Jason POV:

A duel? How is he supposed to win a duel between Percy? Every time he won a battle Piper and Leo were by his side. He sighed and sat down under a tree. Piper was talking to some Athena girls when she saw Jason alone. She gave them a hand signal meaning talk to you later. She sat next to Jason.

"Are you ok?" she asked. It looked like he was holding back tears.

"No I'm not. How am I supposed to beet Percy in a duel? I've almost gotten us eaten by Cyclopes, and I almost killed us so many times. I don't know what I'm going to do."

"Are you kidding me?" She looked at him liked he committed a crime. "Do you know how many times you saved my life? When I fell of the bridge the day we met, I would've died if you didn't catch me. You saved my dad. You caught me when I fell off Festus…twice! Jason you're my hero." She smiled so beautifully. He couldn't hold it in any longer.

"I love you." She looked at him for a while.

"I love you too." She replied. He grasped her hand .His blues eyes looked directly into her hazel ones.

"Piper McLean; will you be my girlfriend?" She laughed and gave him a big kiss. She stroked his blonde hair. It has gotten much longer than it was before. Leo popped out from behind the tree.

"About time!" He shouted. Piper grabbed him pushed him up against the tree and pulled her dagger. She pointed it to his neck. She gave him a horrifying look. He was begging for her not to hurt him. She laughed and put back her dagger. Then slapped him.

"Don't you ever listen to any of my personal conversations ever again." She threatened. Was she charm speaking him?

"Stop, Piper! Twice today you charm speaked me! You're turning into a Drew!" He realized what he said a little too late. "Piper, I'm so sorry." She ran off in tears. He watched helplessly as she ran towards the gate. "Oh, no…she's running towards the gate. She gonna leave the camp!" Leo gave Jason an urgent look. They both ran after her. Yelling for her to stop she kept going. She was out of sight. "We need to get Percy!" Jason said. They ran to find him before Piper got in even more trouble than she is. They finally found at a picnic table eating with Annabeth. When they reached them Leo slammed hard on the table.

"Piper ran away!" He exclaimed.

"WHAT?" Percy and Annabeth said simultaneously. Leo explained what had happened under the tree. Percy shook his head.

"We have to find her!" Percy said. They all nodded. Jason looked the most worried and depressed of all.

"I finally have her…and now she's gone." Jason said. He looked down. He shook his head. "I can't wait any longer. I need to find her!" He ran to the gates. All three of them ran after him.

Hazel and Frank were talking when they saw them running. Hazel gave a small squeak when she saw Leo. He looked just like Sammy.

"What's going on?" Frank asked. They explained about Piper and Leo and how Jason ran off to look for her.

"We're coming to help as well!" Hazel decided. They all ran after Piper and Jason. They had to get to them before Gaea does.
