Piper POV

Piper was not expecting this to happen. She thought she can somewhat trust Justin. She felt like she was always the one being the damsel in distress. Justin nonchalantly led her to a small rock. He lifted it and revealed a narrow tunnel.

"Um, yeah I don't really want to be in a tunnel with you again." Piper added. She looked pleadingly at Justin. He nodded to the tunnel. "Don't make me!" Piper charmspeaked.

"No use in charm speaking me, Piper. I've been trained against it." His voice seemed deadly serious. She hesitantly climbed down into the dark, dull tunnel. While getting pushed against her will she felt the cold touch of silver against her delicate skin. This tunnel had no lights at all. It was pitch black. She felt like she heard other footsteps but didn't think much of it. "Stop!" Jason commanded. "The tunnel ends here." Piper felt for a ladder and climbed up. She entered a small room. On the door hung a sign 'Reyna's Office'. Piper curiously looked around. Justin lowered the sword. Piper noticed a girl sitting at Reyna's desk. She had short blonde hair, and skin like a surfer; golden tan. Her eyes were a dark green, nothing like Percy's light green ones. The huge difference was that the surfer girl's eyes were filled with hatred and rage, unlike Percy's filled with love and compassion. She looked very familiair, but Piper couldn't but her finger on it. Piper looked at Justin confused. He pulled out the chair across from the other girl and motions for Piper to sit.

"I'd rather stand." Piper added. Jason looked at her pleadingly; like he needed this to work out. Piper was so confused. The girl motioned for him to pull out his sword. He did. Piper looked at the sharp tip with hatred. That is the tool that kills people, that's makes them go against their will, that causes war. That blade tip was the center of all wars. Piper reluctantly sat in the chair.

"You're an Aphrodite child?" The girl asked. Piper nodded, her face started to turn red, but she wasn't sure if it was with anger or with embarrassment. The girl stood up. She was lean and tall. She walked to Piper and undid her bun. Her choppy, chocolate brown hair spilled over her shoulders. The girl examined Piper with such discrimination. Everything was wrong about her. Piper reached for her dagger.

"Who are you?" Piper demanded. "And why are you in Reyna's office?"

"You know who I am, trust me. And if you don't remember, you will soon." Her voice sounding threatening. "Reyna's out doing business and so I'd think she won't mind me keeping her office warm for her." She kept stepping towards Piper, and Piper replied by stepping back. It kept happening till Piper was pinned against the wall. Amy held her sword. Justin saw her. Amy pulled out her sword and pointed it at him.

"Amy stop!" He yelled. Amy…that's it!

"You were the weak link!" Piper exclaimed. Maybe not her best choice of words. Amy was so furious that she unleashed her sword and sung it around. Piper ducted quickly and let out a loud scream. During it Amy covered her mouth. Piper followed her instincts and bit Amy's hand. She let out a grunt. Piper ran to the other side of the office and pulled out her dagger in defense. "Hold up! Why are you attacking me? I didn't do anything to you."

"Stupid girl! You completely ruined my reputation at this camp. I Amy, daughter or Mars, God of war, lost to a skimpy Aphrodite girl. Do you know how much trash I've gotten since the games?" Piper nervously shaked her head. "A lot!" Amy yelled with rage. Her green eyes held complete rage and hate.

"Look, I'm sorry for what happened. I really am. I don't want you to get a bad reputation at your camp. Honestly. I needed to win that though. We needed to get this ship built. They future of the world depends on it." Amy was silent for a moment. Then she charged at Piper with her sword. Piper gaped and ran towards the door. She tried to open but I seemed to be locked. When Piper looked at Amy she was swinging a silver key back and forth. Piper looked at the key with determined eyes. She jumped and tried to grab it but Amy threw the key in the air away from Piper. Piper hit the floor hard. Her arms ached with unbearable pain. Then the worst thing that could happen happened. Her head started to ache. The pain was too much to take. She cried in pain. When she looked up she saw Amy standing over her with her sword in hand.

"Prepare to pay you Greek!" Amy declared. Piper had terror filled eyes. When Amy was about to strike, Justin took Amy's arm. She gave him a murderous look. "What are you doing?" She exclaimed.

"You promised me you wouldn't hurt her!" Justin replied. He looked at Piper. Her head was still in a lot of pain, but she was able to hear everything.

"Justin! We had a deal. You would help me with this, in exchange for keeping your secret. Do you want to break the deal? You will be exposed, no one will accept you. You would be an outcast forever. Is that what you want?" Justin looked puzzled and conflicted.

"I won't let you hurt her!" Justin said proudly. "If I will be an outcast forever, so be it! My secret isn't worth letting someone get hurt. She's strong, and loyal, and tougher than you will ever be." Justin stood tall. He knelt down and held Piper gently. Amy stood in shock. She's never been talked to that way before. "She won't hurt you." Justin reassured. His brown hair hanging over his face. Piper felt like she can trust him. She knew she could trust him. She collected herself and stood. She stood proud and tall.

"I am daughter of Aphrodite. I will not cower in fear to you." Then out of know where the headache got dramatically worse. She fell to her knees in pain. She screamed out of pure pain. Justin quickly snatched the key from Amy and tried to unlock the door. While unlocking it the key snapped in two. He looked at it in fear. Small pieces if dirt was on the break of the key.

"Gaea." Justin whispered to himself. Piper was on the ground crying in pain. "We're trapped!" Justin said. Piper kept screaming in pain. They were stuck.
