Piper POV
Jason held Piper close. She loved that feeling. She felt so safe and secure. Like nothing could hurt her. She wished they could be like that forever, but she knew they couldn't. She pulled away with a smile on her face.
"I think I should say hi to my…" She trailed off. She didn't like to call Drew family. "Cabinmates." She replaced. Jason laughed.
"Okay." He said. "See you at the camp fire." He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and ran off. Piper walked to the Aphrodite cabin. When she reached it she remembered her animosity toward this thing. Flowers took up every window sill. And the place reeked of Justin Bieber perfume. When she opened the door she saw all the walls were covered with pictures of Enrique Iglesias, Leonardo DiCaprio, and the tape and left over paper on the wall from the time when Drew ripped her dad's poster off the wall.
"Piper!" Lacy screamed from the other side of the cabin. She ran and hugged her. Piper hugged back. Lacy was one of the few Aphrodite kids she like. "Mitchell! Piper's back!" Lacy yelled. Mitchell popped out form the back room. He walked to Piper with a smile on his face. Piper gave him a small hug. Drew stood behind him.
"Hello Drew." Piper greeted. Drew gave her a cold look. A throng of Aphrodite girls crowed around her. Drew stood in front of the crowd.
"Look Dumpster Girl finally decided to come back." Drew said coldly. "Have you done the right of passage yet."
"No, and I'm not planning too? How have you been Drew, I see you haven't run out of pink eyeliner yet. Weird, you overdose on it every day." Piper replied. Some girls in the group snickered and Drew shot them a horrifying look. The giggled stopped instantly.
"You don't know a thing about make up." Drew said. She was trying to stay calm.
"I do know when it's too much." Piper added.
"Shut up! You're just a little piece of garbage!" Drew said. She lost her cool. Her eyes look crazed. She and Piper may be civil via Iris Message, but in person it's a whole different ball game.
"I'm head counselor of this cabin." Piper said calmly. "You don't talk to me that way." She looked at all the Aphrodite children and back at Drew. "I'm going for a run." Piper said. She stormed out of the cabin.
"Don't trip." Drew shouted. A roar of snickers came from the cabin. Lacy and Mitchell watched as Piper jogged away. Piper hated Drew. Screw making up with her. She's still the same power hungry monster as when she left. Piper knew if she stayed any longer she would explode. She ran into the woods. She probably passed hundreds of trees till something caught her eye. A girl with black hair sat on a log. She was mumbling a whole bunch of thing that Piper couldn't understand. Piper stepped on a twig and it cracked. The girl sharply turned at saw Piper. The girl had striking blue eyes. Different from Jason's, not as full of energy; softer and calm. And she was gorgeous
"Sit." The girl said. Her voice was calm. Piper sat next to her on the log. "What's your name?"
"Piper McLean." Piper answered. Her braids have come undone, but her hair was beginning to go choppy again. She was relieved. She didn't like looking perfect, or pretty. The girl nodded.
"Are you an Athena child? You give off her energy."
"Uh, no. I wish. Aphrodite actually." Piper admitted. The girl nodded again.
"I should've guessed. You're beautiful." Piper blushed. She has always been an outcast. She didn't even know this girl, but something about her seemed eerily familiar. "Why have you come out here?"
"My stupid sibling. I've had enough of her. She thinks she's so perfect. I've had just about enough of some of those Aphrodite girls. She wants me to break my boyfriend's heart. A rite of passage." Piper shook her head in disgust. The girl nodded.
"Hmm, sounds pretty stuck up to me." The girl had a strange look on her face; like she's been in my position as me.
"Tell me about it." Piper agreed. The girl smiled. "I've always been an outcast. I cut my hair with a pair of safety scissors. I make it horrible on purpose. I don't want to be an attention grabber."
"That's too bad. You're so beautiful, even with choppy hair." Piper laughed.
"You're gorgeous." Piper admitted. The girl blushed.
"You're too kind." She said humbly. Piper didn't even know the girl, but felt so close to her.
"I just wish I could do something with my life. I don't want to be another pretty face in the crowd, I want to make a difference."
"Don't worry, Piper. From what I know you're strong. You can handle whatever life throws at you. You will be a great hero." The girl said. She had a genuine smile on her face. Piper smiled back. She heard a bell ring in the distance. It signaled that the camp fire was about to begin. The girl stood and dusted off her clothes. She was wearing a green silk dress. "I must go now."
"Wait!" Piper called. "Who are you?"
"Silena." The girl answered. She walked into the woods and disappeared into thin air. Piper stared in shock. Silena Beauregard.
