Chapter Three
~Piper's POV~
"Piper, wake up."
I opened my eyes and sat up in my bed.
"Leo was attacked."
I got up and ran up to the deck with Jason following behind.
The first thing I saw, when Jason and I got on deck was Leo sitting against the railing on the right side.
"Leo, what happened?" I asked, running next to him, to examine the bruise on his neck.
"Jeez Piper, I'm fine." Leo insisted.
"What happened? Who did this to you?" I demanded, ready to protect Leo, who's like a brother to me.
"Percy."
"What?" I got up and turned towards Annabeth confused.
Annabeth looked on the verge of tears. "Percy. He was the one who did this to Leo."
I was shocked, I look around and everyone had grim expressions.
"Why would he do this?" I asked.
Jason opened his mouth to respond, when we heard laughing.
I turned, with my dagger in hand, to see Percy, with a dark smirk, leaning against the mast.
"So, this could go the easy way or the hard way." He stated, with a bored expression.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, while still wary of a fight. We're sailing on the ocean, his home turf.
Percy takes a few steps closer. "I was sent here to take you to Gaea."
"You betrayed us!" Annabeth exclaimed in outrage and disbelief.
"We have a deal." Percy shrugged, like it's no big deal.
"Percy, she's only using..."
"I know that." Percy snapped, cutting Hazel off. He closed his eyes. "You don't understand Hazel, I have to do this."
Hazel looked like she would start crying, while Percy kept an expressionless expression.
"Percy, we could help..." Jason started.
THUD
I look back and Jason was unconscious. I turned back to Percy.
"What did you do!" I exclaimed in disbelief.
He shrugged. "You're only making this harder."
I took a deep breath. "Sleep!" I said with all the charm speak I could muster.
To my shock, he was unaffected.
He laughed. "Good try, Piper. But, it's my turn. Sleep!"
I heard four thuds, as I fell.
Before, I fell unconscious, I heard Percy say,
"I warned you about the hard way."
