PIPER:

I was going to pace around the deck, to wait for Jason to come talk to me, when I heard someone scream.

I instantly bounded toward the deck of the ship where I found Hazel screaming. I was going to ask why she was screaming, but the words died in my throat as I glanced at the monster behind me and joined Hazel in screaming.

Within 30 seconds, Percy and Annabeth were on the deck, about to ask Hazel and me why on earth we were screaming, when they saw the monster.

"What is that thing?" Percy shouted towards Annabeth.

"The snow goddess' Khione sacred animal!" she called to him.

"LEO! GET UP HERE!" Percy shouted.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT PERCY? I WAS TAKING A FREAKING NAP!" Leo hollered.

Gods, that is so like Leo, I thought.

"THERE'S A DAMN SNOW BREATHING GIANT ABOUT TO KILL US WITH HIS ICE BREATH! YOU BETTER GET UP HERE, VALDEZ!" Percy screeched.

Leo came practically (ok, almost) flying out of his bedroom, because apparently Seaweed Brain was extremely mad.

"Gods… Someone needs a chill pill." Leo muttered and burst into flames.

"Someone call for flaming Valdez?" Leo asked.

Percy glared at him some more like, HELL YEAH, we need flaming Valdez!

Leo charged the giant while I tried to distract myself, of rather, distract the giant by chramspeaking it.

"Hi monster! Nice monster, now, why don't you sit down?" I asked it.

The monster didn't seem to notice me, either because I was really scared right now and was whispering or because it was 700 feet tall. Even my loudest scream couldn't be heard (and boy, I scream pretty loud) all the way up there.

Jason came running out of nowhere and yelled "What's all this screaming about?"

He stopped short when he saw the giant, pulled out his gladius and charged the monster, but before he could make contact and or stab the giant, I tackled Jason and charmspoke him to sit down until I told him to get up.

"Jason!" I hissed "Don't attack the monster or get up unless you know what's good for you."

My eyes narrowed and he mumbled something about not attacking the giant and sitting down.

I looked away, satisfied that my boyfriend wasn't going to get hurt. For now.

Finally, through all the chaos, one (I've had a lot of nightmares) of my worst nightmares appeared.

"Bonjour mes amis m'ont manqué? "

Said the all-too- familiar deadly snow goddess, (who also happened to work for Gaea).

I knew she said,

"Hello, my friends, missed me?"

Because since I am Aphrodite's child, I could naturally speak French, the language of love.

"You are not our friend, and we most definitely did not miss you!" I exclaimed. And as I said that, Khione sneered and said,

"Ah. But I did miss manipulating you annoying demigods."

She laughed, and Leo shot a ball of fire from his hand saying,

"And I missed trying to kill you."

"Hey, Jason?" I asked Jason.

"Yeah?" he questioned

"You should get up now." I commanded him.

Annabeth and Jason immediately got up and started to battle the snow monster, while I was busy handling some Earthborn that had flown out of the snow monster's freezing breath.

Thankfully, the Earthborn weren't that smart so battling it was sort of easy, if you ignore the fact that the thing was 7 feet tall, that is.

Anyway, Leo had started to battle Khione full- on with absolutely no help. Leo had battled her before so I guess he was the best chance we had at battling her without dying. I lost my focus, so the Earthborn finally managed to find a weak link in my armor and twisted it, to give me a slash on my side. Yellow splotches danced in my eyes. About 45 seconds later, I could not stand the pain. I slashed the Earthborn to shreds and fainted, turning everything black.

JASON:

I had to find Piper.

I knew that I had really hurt her and that honestly just about killed me.

When Reyna had told me that she loved Leo, and not me, it took all of my willpower not to scream at her, and to just run away from there. No doubt Leo had fallen for her- because typically no one goes into Reyna's house to talk to her (with the exception of me, of course.) unless they want to get skewered by her dagger. And obviously Reyna had fallen in love with Leo too, because there was also the fact that Reyna laughed at Leo's jokes. (He is kind of funny, so I can't really blame her.) That is so odd, because in the entire 4 years I have known (and loved) her, I don't think she's ever laughed at one of my jokes.

I sighed aloud. I jumped, startled when I heard someone scream. I heard fast footsteps probably Percy and Annabeth going to the deck to see what was going on, so it sort of alarmed me that that scream was so loud, the captain of the Argo II had to check it out. I decided if Percy was going to check this out, I should too.

I ran until I got to the first deck where I saw the scariest sight ever. It was composed of a 700 foot tall snow monster, terrified Hazel and Piper screaming, and Percy screaming at Leo.

"What's all this screaming about?" I yelled and stopped short when I saw the giant, pulled out my gladius and charged the giant. Before I would die charging the giant, Piper intercepted my thrust and hissed,

"Jason!" Piper hissed, "Don't attack the monster or get up unless you know what's good for you."

Piper's eyes narrowed and I mumbled something about not attacking the giant and sitting down.

Finally, through all the chaos, one (I've had a lot of nightmares) of my worst nightmares appeared.

"Bonjour mes amis m'ont manqué? "

Said the all-too- familiar deadly snow goddess, (who also happened to work for Gaea).

I knew she said,

"Hello, my friends, missed me?"

Because Piper exclaimed (In English),

"You are not our friend, and we most definitely did not miss you!" She exclaimed. And as she said that, Khione sneered and said,

"Ah. But I did miss manipulating you annoying demigods."

She laughed, and Leo shot a ball of fire from his hand saying,

"And I missed trying to kill you."

"Hey, Jason?" Piper asked me.

"Yeah?" I questioned

"You should get up now." Piper commanded him.

I immediately got up and charged the giant replacing Leo's job since that was what he'd been doing before Khione appeared. Annabeth came over and caught my eye signaling she had a plan and I nodded, I think understood her plan. Annabeth had this theory where giants could be easily defeated by two people: One person in the front (unfortunately, me) to distract the giant, and another person in the back (lucky her.) to kill it from behind.

Just as I went to stab the giant, Piper went down, she had apparently been slashed by an Earthborn, but not before she killed it.

"PIPER!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

She fainted and I turned around, silently wishing that the second girl I loved wouldn't break my heart (again) but that this giant would.
