Piper Pov

I stayed up most of the night having a war against myself about if I should leave or not, well, mainly about what Chiron would think. While I was at war, I also started packing my bags. I decided to listen to my ipod while I packed to get my mind off this camp.

I clicked on shuffle. I couldn't be stuffed choosing a song and I was in a hurry. A song came up. It was a parody that my friend showed me on youtube (She was mortal). It's called 'Quit talking bro' a parody of Hypnotic by Jennifer Lopez.

As the beat went on, I was packing faster and faster. I couldn't decide to take my bikini or my one piece. I've only worn my one piece before. My mum got the bikini for my sixteenth birthday but I love it but I don't think it suits my style. I closed my eyes, shuffled my bathes and threw one in and the other back in my chest.

I reopened my eyes and packed some shoes. I was ready to go. I looked at my watch, five minutes to midnight.

I opened my pink door to the bathroom. I brushed my hair and put Drew's hair straightener in the basement. What? She stole my diary last week but it was the diary that I write children stories. I was okay with it because of that but she shouldn't have found it in the first place. It can be embarrassing.

I may my way out of the bathroom and headed outside to Thalia's tree with my small wheelie bag at hand.

The song changed to 'I just held hands' another parody but this time, it's by Dave Days. It's a parody of I just had sex by akon. The song is weird…

I sat next to Thalia's tree. The air was nice and warm like a gentle summer breeze. My music was still playing over and over again, until I saw a little spark of light heading my way. I put my ipod away and stood. My watch said that it was one minute to midnight.

The light grew closer and I could see a face behind it, carrying a bag over his shoulder.

"Hey beauty queen," Leo greeted. Leo was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, like normal. I looked down at what I was wearing- a spaghetti string top and jeans with my boots. "You ready to go?" Leo asked. The stroked the fire over his hand but made sure that it didn't burn up too much to make a signal that we were here.

"Yeah. Where are we going first?" I asked. "Crap I thought of thought about-"

"I brought two train tickets before I went to bed." Leo said. He picked up my bag and started walking down the hill away from Thalia's tree. "We can also use them on the bus. If we catch the train to the next station, we can catch the 784b and head straight to the airport. We catch the 9:30 Virgin Blue airplane and that will head us straight to Hamilton Island. Chiron told me before that the gods are having a meeting and you know how long that always takes?"

"Six day…" I replied.

"Exactly so they won't be watching the sky."

"When did you figure this out? The buses trains plane?"

"Let's say that I wasn't tired and I knew you'll forget about it. I also got first class seats on the airplane."

I nodded. This was going to be a fun trip… Hopefully.

I was so tired when we got on the plane. I felt like I was going to faint on the way to my seat. Leo and I haven't slept since yesterday. We managed to get seats on the bus and train but it took so long!

Leo was wide awake and saw tapping on his knees.

I yawned and rested my head on the seat.

"Is the beauty queen tired?" Leo asked.

"If you must know, yes."

Leo smiled, pulled me towards him and put my head on his chest. As Leo breathed, his chest reacted and it made calm noises. I closed my eyes and went to a deep sleep.

Somehow, I was back at camp. The councils were having a meeting in the big house. They didn't talk, smile or anything. The only seats that were left were mine and Leo's. Chiron looked angry as, Jason look a little happy about it. The doors opened widely as two people came into the meeting. Michael and Nyssa came running into the room, panting.

"Leo and Piper are nowhere to be found" Nyssa said, holding her stomach. "I'm sorry, but we searched everywhere!"

"Are you alright, Nyssa?" Katie, daughter of Demeter asked.

"Yeah, it's just sometimes when I run a lot, it hurts here" – Nyssa traced her collar bones – "And my stomach."

Katie gave her seat to Nyssa and gave her a can of Dr. Pepper. Michael sat in Leo's chair and started to rub his arms.

"What are we going to do about Leo and Piper?" Travis, son of Hermes, asked.

Chiron looked over to Jason. Jason didn't make any contact with the old centaur. "Jason," Chiron said. "You're their friend; do you know where they would go?"

"Leo would go to the gold coast because of the warmth and parks, Piper would go somewhere tropical like…" Jason's eyes lid up. "Fiji. Or some place like that."

"Okay, Rachael can give us a prophecy and-"

"I can't." Rachael sat at the front of the table next to Chiron. "I can't get one. I don't know why?"

"What if they haven't been kidnapped?" Annabeth asked. I forgot that she was here. "What if they just needed to get away?"

"Piper wouldn't do that," Jason disagreed. "Piper would tell me and she's too much of a goody to leave camp."

"But Leo is the brave and daring type now. He isn't the sixteen year old boy now; he's more mature but can still be a little child." Everyone kept quiet. "How about we see if the gods have seen them anywhere?"

Everyone agreed and went out.

"No!" I screamed.

My head shot up. I was somewhere else, not on the plane. The room had a great view, the king sized bed was comfy, the walls were a light purple, there were pictures of sea shells around the walls of the room. It was beautiful.

I got off the bed and walked onto the bouncy. The breeze was better than what I thought it would be. The sound of waves crashing was soothing; there was a pool with chairs around the base of the pool and the garden was just beautiful. The sea was close enough to walk there and back.

"I can't believe were here." I said, resting my arms on the poll. A mini set was next to me, a set where you can sit and talk with a cup of tea and some cookies on a small platter.

"You better believe it, beauty queen." Leo walked next to me; he placed his arm over my shoulder. He was wearing the same thing as before, a t-shirt and jeans. "Want to go do something? The day is pretty early."

"What's the time?"

"Australian time is seven thirty."

"What do you want to do?" I asked, hoping that he would have an answer.

"You get to decide, it's your holiday remember."

"Leo, it's our holiday." I said, taking his hands. "And we better get moving because they're already looking for us. I had a dream. Council meeting, and boy, Chiron was angry."

"Then we have to make it worth living for."

"Beach?"

"Sure. I'll step out and let you change first."

Then Leo left. I went into my small bag and found my bathes. I was kind of glad with what I found. My two piece with some board shorts I don't remember packing. I quickly got changed and put my clothing over the top. I grabbed a towel and a small bag in case we go swimming and my ipod.

I went out and saw that Leo was already in his bathes. Board shorts. I laughed and we started making our way down the stairs.

We were the first ones on the beach besides the life guards. The sun was rising over the sea. It was so beautiful.

We ended up staying there for the whole morning, to the afternoon, until sun set.

Leo and I had a great time. We sung, talked, got to know each other better. Some of the life guards even talked to us. They were surprised at how we stayed for the whole time and not made any trouble. I got a photo of with them. Apparently, Leo had a camera with him. We didn't eat anything for the whole day, not even breakfast which is the most important meal of the day.

Back at the hotel, Leo and I had Mac Donalds for dinner. First dinner, something gross but nice at the same time. We watched Perry Johnson and the Lighting Thief while we ate.

"I don't get it," Leo complained, "Peter is the son of Poseidon and Ann is the daughter of Athena and Lukas is the son of Hermes. Shouldn't they know that Lucus stole Zeus' lighting bolt?"

"Leo, it's a movie, nothing happens." I answered putting the left overs in the trash. "It doesn't matter any way. We know that we are demi-gods and they don't know anything we know."

"You've been reading again."

"Can't complain."

I laughed and washed up for bed. Leo soon followed me into the bathroom with my ipod in his hand.

"You've got some good songs on here," Leo said, looking at my list of songs. "It's mostly Skillet though. I wish I knew half of these songs."

"Stop looking through and play the one you're on right now." Leo stopped looking through and the song started playing. I knew what the song was. It was a good song for me right now; it explained what I thought and how I felt. "It's not me it's you." I announced. Leo changed to a different song. "Hero." And a different song. "Falling in the black." This went on for ages. Leo wanted to get through every song and I had two hundred and twenty-six. I love music and if you could get that much you would.

Around one to two o'clock in the morning, we were still up, talking under the sheets of the bed.

"Are you sharing a room with me or do you have your own room?" Please share a room with me, PLEASE SHARE A ROOM WITH ME!

"I could only get one room, so you have to share the room." Leo poked me.

"Stop it, Leo." I said with a grin on my face.

"No." And he started to poke me more.

"Stop it!" Then he pushed me on the bed and started to tickle my stomach. My stomach has always been my weak spot, if you need to get something out of me, you tickle my stomach and you'll get it. "Leo, stop it!" Leo decided to stop after a while. I was trying to catch my breath as I sat up. "We should get some sleep."

"Okay," Leo moved out of the bed.

"Where are you going?" I asked, well pleaded.

"I was going onto the couch, why?"

"You can always sleep in the bed with me. I don't want you to sleep on the couch because I'm here."

Leo shrugged and came back into the bed. I slept on my side and so did Leo. "Goodnight, Piper." Leo said as I closed my eyes.

"Goodnight, Leo." Leo put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer towards him. "Leo,"

"Yeah?"

"Is this weird?"

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, no, maybe." I replied biting my bottom lip.

"Is that a yes or a no? Beauty queen."

"I like it. That's why I asked."

"Yeah, it's kind of weird but I like it."

"Okay," I closed my eyes and fell into sleep.

"Have you looked everywhere?" Aphrodite, my mother, asked Chiron. The head counsellors were having at meeting in the big house. It looked the same, ping pong table, Mr. D doing his own thing and all that.

"Yes, ma'am; well, in America. Next we're going to try Fiji and build on after that." Chiron sounded scared. I know that he has had the greatest heroes, out and about and have never returned. "Jason isn't being much help to us, though, he's a bit pushy."

"I can't believe he cheated on Piper. I knew he wouldn't last but with my daughter, it hurts Chiron, it really hurts."

Chiron put his hand on Aphrodite's shoulder. "We'll find her."

Chiron hugged Aphrodite. I started to feel ashamed at my actions, and I brought Leo into it.

The doors widely open with Connor and Lacy at tow. "They're not here. Positive about it." Connor said, panting.

Drew ran in, her face red and her eyes puffy like she has been crying. "Piper isn't here and I know how." Drew said, a tear streaming down her eye.

"Maybe we can't find her anywhere!" Lacy said. "What about Leo? Any sign of him?"

Two more people came in, Will and Nyssa. Nyssa had her hands behind her back and looked like she was about to burst. "All his stuff is in his room. Except his clothes, but he's not on a quest."

"How do you know?" My mother asked.

Nyssa showed her hands… Holding Leo's belt with both hands. "I really don't think he is." Nyssa's tears started to stream down her cheeks, slow and rough.

I started to feel really, really bad about it.

My mother run to Nyssa and hugged her softly. "Nyssa, it's okay." My mother said as Nyssa cried on her shirt. "We'll find them. I promise." Nyssa nodded and Drew's tears started coming down.

"I thought I'll never see you cry about losing your sister." Lacy said.

"No, it's not that." Drew said, stroking her hair, making it more flat. "She stole my hair straightener!" Aphrodite hugged both girl in her arms, though, I thought that Drew was being over rated about her hair.
