The Hope in Our Scars

After drying off, and ignoring Leo's attempt to flirt with me, Leo and I visited the daughter of Aphrodite, Piper McKlean.
When the couple reached the cabin, Piper at first approached us with a suppressed smile. "So, how was...well everything, love birds?" she asked, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Great I guess," Leo feigned a shrug. "Lily probably sprung a leak."
I glared at him. "Yeah," I admitted. "It felt pretty good."
"Pretty good?" Piper asked, her eyes widening.
"She meant that I totally rocked her with my hot bod," Leo added. I jabbed him in the elbow.
Piper rolled her eyes, "Come in you two. I'm pretty sure your girlfriend's waiting for the explanation of the anti-love potion, and what's really going on in camp..."

The Aphrodite cabin was well...amazingly well decorated. Pink wall papers, and fashionable designs surrounded the neat bunks, and not-so-neat hair dresser.
"Sit," said Piper, going to over to her neat bed. Leo plopped onto a spare bed, and I sat down next to him.
Grinning he took a lace bra from the bed, and pretended to compare them to me. "Hmmm, I think these size were exactly yours the last time I checked."
"Oh can you stop acting perv?" I exclaimed. Piper was trying not to laugh. "Alright you too. Leave that cuddly conversations in private. So you're probably what in the world is up with the drink-"
"I know it made me hazy, plus it protected me from who knows what could've happened afterwards."
"Exactly," Piper replied, twining her legs over each other. "What else do you want to know?"
"If you have others," I felt myself blurting out. Leo gave me a surprised glance. I felt myself growing hot, "I mean I'm not proposing we lock ourselves in a bed room again tonight. But you know."
"You liked it," Leo replied softly. Piper sighed, "Here." She rolled a glass vial to Leo.
"Why him?" I asked.
"Because if he has it, he gets to choose when and what time, you can use it," Piper said flatly. "So you won't just swallow down the liquid and go to bed with your half-sibling or something."
"But I don't even-"
"It's okay. Chiron wanted to speak to you two after you left anyway. You should go to him, with Leo. It sounded urgent so I suppose you should go about now."

When Piper said the Big House was big, she was overly mistaken. It was huge. On the front porch of the majestic structure, a man in his mid thirties with a bushy brown beard, and a man with a purple button down Hawaiin shirt were playing BS.
"Bull shit," the purple man spat, as his opponent placed two cards down onto the already stacked pile.
"Actually, my friend, I am right," he said, lifting the card indeed had two ace of spades and cloves.
Cursing under his breath, the man retrieved the card, and the men started over another game.
"Hi, Chiron and Mr. D," Leo said, smirking, as he pulled me with him. "I brought Lily over here. Lily meet Chiron, our camp head. And Dionysus, the other camp head."
"I would like to be thought as the one and only camp head," snarled Dionysus. "And it's Mr. D to your Leonard Veldeck."
"Leo Valdez," Leo corrected.
"Careful," warned Chiron over his pair of cards. "Mr. D. isn't kidding when he threatens to turn you into a grape vine."
"Chiron," I dared to speak. The three of them looked at me for the first time. "You wanted to see me?"
"Oh yes, Ms. Grace," Chiron said, herding me into the barren, cold vast house. "Yes, to be correct, the Oracle of Delphi wanted to see you. I am only delivering what she said to you."
"The Oracle of what?"
"She makes the prophecies and gives them to you," Leo explained. "Pretty hard work if I do say so myself."
"And whose the-"
"Right in here," Chiron said, patting a dusty white door that led to another perhaps...spare room. "She's all ready for you."
Hesitantly, I stepped into the door, and already I spotted a hooded figure in the back of the room. Slowly, I crept over to the cloak, and asked, "Hello? Ms. Oracle of Delphi?"
I slowly moved my finger to the hood and lifted it a milimeter. Nothing, but hard wood shaped as a human like coat rack.
"Lily?" a voice vaguely familiar asked. I blinked my eyes as the lights suddenly sprung to life, and a girl with red hair and pumped green eyes stood before me. Rachel Dare. The girl from Camp Jupiter who spotted me and Percy...
But what was she doing here?
