Piper vs Possesed

	Jason and Percy turned toward her. Those gold eyes were unnerving, but seeing all three boys like that fueled Piper’s anger. “You will leave those bodies,” she commanded.
	“No,” Percy said.
	Leo let out a soft hiss. “We must live.”
...
	“Listen, eidolons,” Hazel said sternly, “you do not belong here. I may not command you, but Piper does. Obey her.” She turned toward Piper, her expression clear: Try again. You can do this.
	Piper mustered all her courage. She looked straight at Jason—straight into the eyes of the thing that was controlling him. “You will leave those bodies,” Piper repeated, even more forcefully.
	Jason’s face tightened. His forehead beaded with sweat. “We—we will leave these bodies.”
	“You will vow on the River Styx never to return to this ship,” Piper continued, “and never to possess any member of this crew.”
	Leo and Percy both hissed in protest.
	“You will promise on the River Styx,” Piper insisted. A moment of tension—she could feel their wills fighting against hers. Then all three eidolons spoke in unison: “We promise on the River Styx.”
	“You are dead,” Piper said.
	“We are dead,” they agreed.
	“Now, leave.”
	All three boys slumped forward. Percy fell face-first into his pizza.
