Previously on PJD:

"None of your concern," I say. Suddenly, the girl dashes forward and whips off my hood. Out of instinct, I slash my knife at her and she falls to the ground, blood rushing out of her upper thigh. Jason cries out, and kneels by her side. The girl weakly hands Jason the device, and he shoves it in his pocket. He stands up, a look of grave danger in his eyes. Then, he looks surprised when he sees who I am.

The looks upward, and throws his gun. I am surprised, so I look up. The last thing I see is a box of sparking cables filled with electricity falling down towards me, and I hear him say my name.

"Rachel?"

Percy's POV

As Annabeth and I sit on the edge of the bed together, Annabeth grabs my hand.

"I promise you that it wasn't your fault. It was a simulation. Not really," she says softly.

After I told Annabeth what I had done, she grabbed my hand and took off, almost looking mad. She brought me to the bunker, where we sit here talking about what really was my fault.

"But it was more than that. What if it was the future?" I ask, my voice slightly rising with fear.

"Stop it right now Percy!" She yells, grabbing my shoulder and looking deep into my eyes, coldly. We stay there, her anger melting away slowly. Then she kisses me. We kiss long and slow, until Annabeth pulls away sudden.

I knew it. She would realize what I had done, never forgive me again-

"What was that?" She interrupts my thought process.

"What?" I ask, relief filling me up. It wasn't something I did.

"Someone just screamed "Rachel!" down the hall,"

"What are you talking about?" I ask. She grabs my hand and pulls me out. We grab our guns and rush down a series of halls until we get to a room where Piper and Jason are sitting. Piper is covered in blood, and Jason is taking his shirt and wrapping it around her thigh.

"What the hell happened? I demand, also wondering in the back of my mind why the two were together alone...

"Simone attacked Piper, long story. Every time I try to pick her up she screams, she can't handle that kind of pain. That's when I realize Piper is passed out. Annabeth kneels down and unties the shirt.

"What are you doing?" Demands Jason shocked.

"You didn't do that right. Too tight can deepen the wound, two loose doesn't do anything. Ballin up the shirt with get it in the wound more than it should be, cause infections a such," Annabeth explains. Jason cringes as Piper flutters her eyes open.

"You guys need to go get Rachel. She's the one who did this to me. Leave me here. She's part of some sort of evil group, like that other boy who hurt Percy was," Piper mutters softly, her breathing labored.

"That's it, I'm getting someone," I say. I sprint down the hall leaving them to care for Piper, and run into the hall where dinner is starting.

"Everyone listen up!" I scream at the top of my lungs. Everything goes quiet. "Piper and Jason have been attacked by Rachel! She hurt them, she was a traitor for some sort of group! We need to help them Piper is gonna die!" I scream, my voice rising higher.

All of the sudden, the leaders all rush towards me and I sprint away leading them towards the incident. They all look down and immediately pick Piper up ignoring her screams and Jason's screams of protest. They rush her away to the infirmary. Jason follows. Now it's me and Annabeth back here again. She pulls me into a kiss.

"Is everything gonna be okay?" She asks me when we pull away. I nod in encouragement and kiss her again.

But what we don't see is the dark shadow creeping up behind us from behind many boxes, dragging the body of someone dead.
