Piper held her hand out in a motion to stop. "I get the picture. So are they going to overthrow the L Team?"

"Well, it didn't seem so, but Silena sounded pretty dead set on doing it." Bianca-as-Angie smacked her lips and Piper shook her head grimly. Lip-smacking was too far. She strode over and plucked the wig off of Bianca's head. "Hey!" Bianca exclaimed, all traces of an accent gone. Piper smirked as Bianca stormed off.

She returned moments later, makeup and contacts gone, but the clothes still the same. Piper raised an eyebrow at the attire. "It's comfy," the younger girl said in defence, playing with her sleeve. Piper stifled her laughter.

"Who are your other alternate personalities?" Piper questioned, amused. Bianca got up, looking excited. "Don't try them on. Just tell me." The other girl gave her a big grin and rummaged through some papers on a cabinet. She slid three stapled stacks of paper over to Piper.

Piper snatched the first one up. Angelica Banido. She put it aside and picked up the next one. Ideanna Colgib, a blonde haired, hazel eyed young girl with both braces and glasses. Finally, Abigail Condane, a redheaded exchange student with hazel eyes and thick glasses. She skimmed through each file. It had date of birth, certificates, identification, family identification, medical history, past schools, everything.

Piper stared up at Bianca in shock, who shrugged. "Lacy knows- knew a guy." She said, sounding choked up and Piper bit her lip.

There was a sudden ding and Piper's hand moved to automatically grab her phone from her pocket. It was a text from... Drew Tanaka? Why would Drew have her number and even be texting her? She opened the text and realized it was a school-wide text.

Our new school student blog is up and running- and there's a section entirely devoted to Lacy Lovell's murder. What are your thoughts? thestudentsofolympus.com/massivedrama/lacylovellhasbeenmurdered

Piper frowned at it, turning her screen to show Bianca. There was no way that Drew had actually written that text- she wasn't /that/ literate. Nevertheless, Piper clicked on the link, Bianca leaning over her shoulder. The page slowly loaded. The new blog showed up, the official colours bright on Piper's phone screen. The screen showed a small article written by DistractionsPartDeux, about Lacy's death. Bianca swiped down to the comments.

TheFashionista:
Lets face it it was annaabeth!!1!

DistractionsOhMy:
Personally, I think it was Reyna. I mean, she was all over that dead body. Either she's the murderer, or a necrophiliac.

HipsterEsque:
Makes me wonder who's next.

Arion1940:
Why is there a blog page devoted to this?!?! Take it down!!!

LightningBug:
Stop gossiping or I will cut you

AnnabethChase638:
All these theories and I'm really the one who killed her. xx

Lnonymous:
That looks like proof, dolls. That and her jail sentence.

CanYouNot:
why
just why
smh i have no faith in the human race

"That one is me," Bianca pointed out cheerfully, gesturing to CanYouNot. Piper raised an eyebrow, half-amused. "Basically, the L Team created this. I don't know if Drew is one of them or if she generally wanted to promote a gossip related thing. The L Team controls the accounts Lnonymous and AnnabethChase638, as far as I know."

"Sounds fun," Piper mumbled, an idea forming. "You know what? I have to go. I have a thing. It's a... thingy thing." She rambled, putting on her coat and winter gear. She slid on her boots, slipping out the door. "Bye!"

She trudged through the snow, praying Bianca wouldn't suspect anything. She stopped at the cabin, peeking through the window. No one was there. She slipped inside, taking photos of as many sticky notes as possible. She passed through Reyna's, Luke's, Ethan's, Jason's, Laurel's, Clarisse's, Charlie's, Thalia's, her's, and a few people she didn't know before she decided it was time to go. She put her phone in her pocket, skimming over the notes one last time before she turned and left.

She made her way through the snow. There was someone in the distance, slowly moving. She peered at them, wondering who it was. She moved closer, finding that it was Bianca and Hazel's younger brother. Nicolas? No, that wasn't right. Nico? Yeah, that was it.

Nico Di Angelo marched towards her. He stopped a few paces from her, his eyes glinting. He was about twelve, thirteen... but he looked close to deadly. He was wearing a thin, too-big jacket to over his skinny frame. He looked Piper in the eyes, and Piper tried to match his gaze, confused and just a tiny bit terrified.

"Where's my sister?" Nico demanded furiously, and Piper recoiled in shock. What? Bianca? He knew she was alive? Nico stared at her impatiently, and she slowly realized.

"Hazel?" Piper questioned uncertainly.

"No, the dead sister." Nico mocked her sarcastically, pain flashing on his face. "Yes, Hazel!"

"She's still in the hospital. Rachel hurt her much worse." Piper answered, her thoughts jumbled.

Nico stiffened. "Will she be okay?" He asked quietly.

"She'll be fine." Piper reassured him. "Don't worry." She reached out and slung her arm around his shoulders in a big-sisterly way, and he shoved her away.

"Don't touch me!" He snapped, eyes wild. He backed away from her, staring at her in shock, before pivoting on his heel and sprinting the best he could through the snow.

Piper watched him go.
