Mortals meet Percabeth (and others)

Piper Power's AU

Power AU part 2 this time it's Piper's turn and like the other one I saw this as a head cannon on instagram that I fleshed out and if you haven't read the first one or the head cannons then they can be quite dark (this one in particular) so I'm putting up a trigger warning for those who need it to read with caution but I hope you enjoy it regardless

Power AU

NO MIST

Being the daughter of a famous movie star and the goddess of love and beauty was hard and Piper McLean knew that better that most: Everyone expected her to act in a certain way, to be a spoilt little rich girl who doesn't care about anyone but herself (which wasn't true, not entirely) and they didn't expect her to be one of the seven from the Second Great Prophecy 

But she managed to prove everyone wrong -- everyone who said she couldn't do it or fight like a warrior just because she was the daughter of Aphrodite -- and the seven teenagers managed to put down the earth primordial Gaia once and for all and thats when everyone thought it was over but then Percy ended up getting really sick really quickly and nobody knew what was wrong with him and just as quickly he ended up dying before anyone really had any ideas  

Ever since Percy died Piper has felt the most alone than she has in a long time, Camp Half Blood was splintered, everyone was mourning the loss of a hero, a leader, a friend and no-one was really sure what to do anymore and Piper felt more alone than she had since she had finally found her true family about a year ago 

No-one knew who to trust, Percy was the glue that kept them all together and no that he was gone everyone was broken because if someone was able to take out the most powerful demigod known to man then who knows what someone can do to the likes of them as they were nowhere near as powerful as Percy so one by one relationships that were once as strong as iron and forged in blood and fire -- literally were now bent, broken and shattered beyond repair  

Her and Jasons relationship was rocky and was barely keeping it's head above the water even before Percy ended up dying and more often than not when the two were together they would often get into spats and soon they stopped talking to one another -- Jason saying that he no longer trusted the spoilt little rich girl 

So now Piper was truly alone 

She had prayed to her mother once or twice but she never got any answers so Piper eventually lost hope that her mother was going to be of any help because as much as Piper wanted Aphrodite to be an actual mother there was little chance of that actually happening 

Everyone avoided her like the plague and at first she just thought that it was because everyone happened to be upset over the death of Percy, the Seven were close friends with Percy as well as Grover who was taking it harder than anyone because of the mental link the two had, not to mention the satyr had known the green eyed demigod since Percy was the twelve years old and nobody could measure up to the bond that the two held, no  matter how hard anyone tried

Piper pinched the bridge of her nose as she tried -- and failed -- to keep the tears rolling down her cheeks so she leaned against a tree she was deep in the woods, where nobody could see her cry she had a dagger gripped tightly in between her fingers just in case any monster decided to come her way she could deal with the monster and for a split second she thought air that did happen she would just let the monster have her 

After all there was nothing else to live for 

"Why is everyone ignoring me?" She sobbed to herself as she put her head on her curled up legs  "I'm not that bad am I?  Last year I would have gladly give my life for anyone here and yet when I need there love and support they won't even look at me. Last year there was trust shining in their eyes and now there is nothing there, it's like everyone looks at me like I'm a different person"

The coffee skinned girl stayed like that for so many hours between her sobs and doubting herself she had forgotten how long she had been there and as she expected nobody came looking for the poor girl, she was about to get up and head back to her cabin seen as it was getting dark and she was sure the harpies would soon be on their nightly prowl but then she heard it a low growl up in the trees somewhere 

Quickly the daughter of Aphrodite spun around her braids smacking her in the face as she did so but she didn't really care as she quickly gripped her dagger as the monster continued to tear up the trees in the forest as it had picked up the scent of a demigod and Piper knew she should have run and got someone to help her after all this seemed to big a big monster and she knew there was no way in Hades she could deal with it on her own -- she should get the others to help --but there was something stopping her

They wouldn't believe her anyway 

For some reason nobody believed anything Piper told them these days, even Chiron had stopped believing her and she must admit that the hurt the most after Jason, of all people Piper believed that Chiron would always be there to help and guide her but it looked like she had misjudged him, just like she had misjudged everybody else

So making her split second decision she dropped her dagger

She wouldn't fight to stay in a world where she was no longer wanted and perhaps if she did die she could see Percy again and all the other hero's that she had heard about in the Second Titan War -- it would be an honour to see her sister Selina and tell her that she was a hero not a traitor like she died believing she was

So with a deep breath, the daughter of Aphrodite closed her eyes for the last time
