Wasn't Nico's last name di Angelo? Oh, now I get it. This ghost is Nico's sister- the one who had died on a quest with Percy, hoping to get Artemis and Annabeth back.

I looked back at Annnabeth, but she was gone. I decided not to chase after her. 

"Bianca, what are you doing here?" Percy asked.

"I came to warn you of what's about to happen. Percy, Piper, Hazel, and Leo, you need to stay at Camp Jupiter until all is clear," Bianca di Angelo said. How she knew my name, I have no idea.

Percy nodded. "Why?" He asked.

"Jason has been getting more evil by the minute. He's sending armies to attack Camp Half-Blood. I sent Nico there to warn Chiron. I have warned Thalia and the Hunters. I am counting on you to tell Reyna and the campers at Camp Jupiter." And with that she faded. I looked over at Leo, who had apparently tried to flirt with her. Of course he would have.

"Leo," I said, "You're weird." Yes, I just mimicked Jason.

"Ah, thank ya. Thank ya very much," Leo said. Why am I always stuck with the weird people?

Well. that's just my life.

"Well, it's late," Annabeth said from the door; she had obviously been crying, "We should get some sleep if we are going to get to Camp Jupiter by tomorrow."

Everyone went to their bunks. I stayed out on the couch. I wasn't tired, and didn't feel I would be for a while. I sat on the couch in complete darkness.

The ship looked different at night. I could see the stars clearly. Now I could see what Annabeth meant as "Zoe Nightshade."

Sh elooked like a girl with a braid down her back and an arrow notched on her bow. She was running across the sky.

"Why aren't you in your room," A voice asked. I looked all around for where the voice - his voice - was coming from. No one was in sight. I turned on the flashlight that was on the coffee table and stood on the couch. Terrified.

"You would be safer in your room," his voice said. I felt a breeze and wanted to run to my room, but my feet were stuck on the couch. I shined the flash light and saw his face. Oh, gods.

But thanks to the short-life batteries, it died.

He laughed. "Nice try."

I was hoping this was a dream so I could pinch myself and wakeup. When I pinched myself nothing happened. I decided if this was with the help of a god, I needed something more painful than a pinch.

I grabbed my knife and cut myself. Just a little cut on my arm. 

I definately was not dreaming. Blood started trickling down my arm, but that was the least of my issues.

"Oh, you are not dreaming, Piper McLean," He said. I ran over to the wall where the lightswitch was, but teh lights had burned out because of the storm we had ogne into. I flicked it a few times.

My arm was really hurting.I fell onto the ground as I heard footsteps coming toward me. There was a maniacal laugh and a bolt of lightning light up the sky.

I could see his face clearly. And he was about to kill me.

I couldn't believe Jason was about to kill me.
