Title: Piper
Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Summary: Forming hurricanes out of nothing might be impressive, but charmspeak can be just as dangerous.
Notes: Charmspeak and the idea of how much damage it can cause terrifies me, that is all.
Also I'm off a day again and can't decide if I want to post Percy and Annabeth today, and just finish this up, or if I should put them together tomorrow, hmm.
It starts out small.
Skipping school, stealing clothes, and then a bike. It grows, until she's driving a stolen (borrowed; she asked for it) car away from the dealership.
It all seems petty after, once she learns who she is, what she can really do.
She coerces, intercedes, calms (brings back from the dead). It's harmless, and she's careful, mindful of how dangerous it could be. Drew makes it difficult to hold back sometimes, but she manages -- mostly.
Sometimes it slips out when she doesn't mean to; people obey without knowing why, but she does.
It starts out small.
