The horses charge and I push Piper out of the way. I was right in the center. The horses didn't want to do this making it slightly easier to control. I pushed the horses in the opposite direction. I couldn't keep this up forever so I needed to come up with a plan.

I look and see Piper rolled off the edge of the road. The horses come running and I rush out of the way towards Piper. Their blades were a blurred and the pavement rumbled. The horses moved in protest.

"Stop it!" Piper yells.

For a moment Jason heeded her voice. His face turns towards her. Percy charges and slams, thank the gods, the back of his sword onto Jason making him fly off his horse. Tempest reared in confusion. Percy struggled to turn his Pegasus around.

I was doing everything in my power to keep Blackjack from listening. He didn't want to do this but that creature lived for Percy and would do anything he asked of him.

"Percy drop your weapon!" Piper yelled.

Percy's arm dipped a little. If Jason hadn't gotten to his feet Piper may have been able to make some head way.

"Pipes, do something quick. I can only fight this horse for so long," I grunt.

Jason roared. A bolt of lightning arced out of the sky. It blasted Percy off blackjack.

"Percy!" I yell ready to run over to him but Piper grabbed my arm.

I nod and send blackjack to hide in the fields.

Percy was in his back with his clothes now smoking. Piper looked dumbfounded and confused. Jason raised his sword inches from my brothers head.

"No!" I scream in horror at the idea of Percy dying.

"Jason stop!" Piper yells.

He froze, "i cannot stop. One must die," Jason says.

I couldn't figure out what the voice was. It wavy Gaea like I originally thought. I obviously wasn't Jason.

"Who are you?" Piper asks.

Jason's mouth twisted into a cruel smile, "we are the eidolons. We will live again."

"Eidolons...?" Piper says.

"They're kind of like ghosts. Spirits from the underworld ," I say.

"He must die," Jason says.

Jason turns his attention to Percy. My brother had recovered more than we realized though because Percy was able to sweep Jason's leg and knock him off his feet. Jason's head hit the concrete with a clonk. Percy rose.

"Stop it!" Piper yells.

I had tidal wave in hand ready to go out and fight Percy to keep him away from Jason and vise versa.

Percy raised riptide over Jason's chest.

"Eidolon, stop!" Piper says.

My brother stops and turns towards us. It was scary to see my brother like this. His face was pale and cruel, nothing like Percy's face. Like the face we usually share.

"Your a spirit from the underworld, possessing Percy Jackson, is that it?" Piper asks.

Percy sneered, "I will live again in this body. The earth mother has promised. I will go where I please, control whom I wish," Percy says.

"Leo.... That's what happened to Leo," Piper says.

Percy's laugh was cold, "too late you realized. You can trust no one."

Jason still wasn't moving. I hear blackjack move in the field behind Percy. I look at Piper with my plan. She nods understanding.

"Ignore it. Look at me," Piper says to Percy.

I urge blackjack out of the fields while Piper talks to Percy.

"Knock him out," I say to blackjack.

Percy looks at me but it was too late. Blackjack rears and hits Percy in the head. Percy crumpled onto the ground.

"Oh gods, did you kill him?" Piper asks concerned.

"I know my own strength. He's fine," blackjack says.

Piper looks at me confused. Right, I need to translate.

"He says he knows his own strength and Percy is fine," I say.

Piper checks of Jason. I examine Percy's head, where the horse shoe is imprinted.

"Blackjacks, we have to get them back to the ship. Can you get all of us?" I ask him.

Blackjack bobbs his head. Piper hauls Jason up onto the Pegasus. I get onto the front with Percy slumping against my back.

"Watch them. Try not to let them fall," I tell Piper.

She nods try to hold the boys. I nudge blackjack on and we take off towards the      Argo ll.
