Everything seemed mostly fine, right? Well, everything went to Tartarus from here.

--------------------------------------

It had been a week since I arrived at camp and everything was.. fine. Wow, it's strange for no crisis was going on!

*just create one then.*  That one part of my brain responded. Seriously what. was. wrong. with. it. At this point, I have chosen to ignore it.

If you were wondering if anything happened with Jason, no. Nothing had happened yet. I feel like I should tell him in 1-2 days maybe if nothing happens?

Holy crud I need to stop jinxing myself!

--------------------------------------------------

After we had breakfast, I led our cabin to the lava wall. It stood on a small hill with a few ropes and tons of hot magma flowing down it. I shuddered, I had gotten some on me one time, 0/10. I wouldn't recommend it.

I scanned the demigods for a particular architecture-loving blonde... huh? That's weird. The rest of her cabin is here... Oh well, maybe plans came up or she just slept in.  Her brother Malcolm saw me looking for her and tapped me on the shoulder.

"Hey, Piper. Annabeth is just running a bit late, she'll be back later today. Kay?"

"Oh, thank you. I wondered since she's never late unless something comes up, or she's in danger. Thank you."

"No problem! Want to race to the top together?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

I agreed and ran to the bottom, waiting for the previous person to come off. Malcolm waited on the other side. He unlike Annabeth wasn't as much into physical activity, but he still does it, just more for fun though. 

The other campers on the wall finished and passed the rope.

3,

2,

.. 1!

GO!!

Then a strong feeling of competitiveness took over me. That's odd?

I leaped onto the wall hooking my foot into the first crevasse I knew. I started climbing up the wall with only one goal, get to the top. 

I couldn't risk seeing where Malcolm was, it would just slow me down. 

I heard people cheering my name but didn't dare to look down.

The lava started getting warmer the closer to the top, sweat beaded on my face. I didn't wipe it off.

There was only one goal.

Get to the top. I couldn't afford any distractions.

*Malcolm will go further than you. Just like everyone else has.* the voice from my head whispered

'What? Usually, when doing this it's normally a tie.' I thought putting one hand above the other.

*Pl'ease. Do you think I'm talking about the lava wall? No. Think of the seven and all their abilities. Even repair boy has better powers and feats. He can make ships and control fire! What can you do, huh? Make someone do the macarena??*

Please shut up. I have killed a goddess and put the earth to sleep! I'm not useless...!

*Really? Ya and let's pretend Leo didn't explode Gaea. All you did was say a lullaby!* It laughed a cold humorless laugh.*They never actually cared about you. Jason thought you were pretty. You put up with Leo, so he did with you. Annabeth just wanted someone to talk to! And if you think "Oh, but me and Annie boned so quickly!". Shut it. She did the same with Reyna too.* It hissed. 

*Who actually recognized you for you?!* 

What was happening!!? It felt like it was cutting the strings that connected my brain and heart! I knew it wasn't true, well I didn't want it to be... But.. that final sentence. "Who actually recognized you for you". That stuck for some reason.

I didn't stop climbing but took a deep breath. Only a few more stretches until the top. The voice seemed to be gone.

Nevermind. I need to stop jinxing myse-

*Jinxes... They are interesting things, aren't they? I'm sorry for what I said earlier. But, how about I help you win?*

Ha. You just told me to not trust anyone I'm friends with, and you're asking to help? Ya.. No thanks. 

*It's a good idea! Just use a bit of charmspeak to make him stay in the same place for a little bit. And I would recommend it. He seems to be getting a bit too far...*

I mean... It could work. And it would be safe... NO no. Don't listen to it!

*Y'know what? I'll just give you a slight nudge in the right direction..*

Just like that, I don't really know what happened. It felt as though I was watching myself through a screen, but had no remote. Somehow the voice... No. It couldn't. Right...?

And before I knew what was happening (trust me I don't know what was going on), words that weren't mine started spilling out. I turned to face the son of Athena.

"Malcolm? Can you... Let go for a few seconds?" Said me. Oh no no no no. It had that same energy push as my charmsp- wait of course that's charmspeak! It gave me the same wonderful sensation, being the one in charge, having the power.

I just watched not being able to do anything as the next events unfolded.

Malcolm's eyes glazed over in a content way. He smiled and responded, "Ok Piper." And- and then he let go and fell... 

I yelled and tried to reach him but he was too far away. I then saw a lava cannon opening underneath him.

"What'- OH MY GODS!!!!" His eyes widened in fear as he saw the shoot of lava about to burn his back off. Thankfully, he was a child of Athena and made the wise decision to move as far away as possible with his little time. 

The son of Athena had rolled in the air far enough so that only his arm and half of him was just grazed. Not good, but better than his whole back. And then, he hit the grass where campers rushed to him.

I slid down the rope and ran to him.

His glasses rim was broken, his face was twisted in agony, his whole right arm-...

Holy shit. I. I did all of that.

Will and.. Oh gods. It seems like Annabeth just arrived.....

Will started barking orders to campers and his cabin mates while also giving comforting words to Malcolm. Wow. He's multi-talented. (I mean I knew he was a great medic, but like the personality switching!!)

Kayla and Austin came back with a stretcher and slowly, but swiftly loaded him on and started carrying him away with Will at the front checking for other injuries. I offered to help but Will responded that everything was ok here, and they could handle it.

Annabeth also walked alongside the stretcher, not sparing even a glance at me. So she did see that I said it. Or she just wants to care for her brother? Or she probably knows and is upset at me...

Whatever, she should stay with him. My head hurts. I should-... I should take a break. I feel lightheaded...

-------------------------

I just got my bed and laid down before passing out.

*You did it. And they all know. Good job. That was the first nudge to destiny*

'Shut upppp!' I responded.

a/n: holy crap that was a lot of personality switching! Also there is foreshadowing everywhere so question e v e r y t h I n g!

I'll look at your ideas and try to combine them one way or another... So yes please leave suggestions (as long last its not hate!)

Idk when I'll come out with the next chapter. and again I didn't really edit this

How will annabeth react? will he be ok? what is the voice? why doesn't piper seem the same anymore?

Stay lovely butterflies
