Author's Note: Hey guys! I hope you enjoy this story, but before you read any further, I need to tell you something. This is a sequel to another story of mine called 'When I Entered Camp Half-Blood'. I suggest you read that first before reading this, or else this won't make that much sense. And if you've already read that story, good for you! I'll do my best with this one, so without further ado, here's the story! This is taken place after Mark of Athena, but before House of Hades. Oh and one more thing: Sistra won't be the only one telling the story in her perspective…
Sistra's POV
I walk to school alone, as the cold breeze skims past me. It seems my last encounter with Leo has been just yesterday, but it has been over a month. I walk to school, my knives still with me, and my Camp Half-Blood t-shirt hidden safely in my closet. I miss Leo, but I remember he has an important mission. I know what you're thinking, what happened? Well, after I rushed home, and got yelled at for nearly 10 minutes straight, I did a whole bunch of research on Gaea. I won't bore you with any of it, but I secretly practiced my control over earth. I still have the powers, and I was getting better. Until one of Ivy Jackwaner's friends saw me playing with earth and now I'm considered a freak. (A/N: If you don't remember Ivy, read chapter one in 'When I Entered Camp Half-Blood' again) But I did make one friend, whose name's Penelope Clearwater (A/N: If you can tell me where I got that from, I'll favourite you). She as brown hair, light blue eyes and pale skin.I walk up to her, while giving her a small smile.
"Hey Penny."
"Don't call me that."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Because?"
"Because I said so."
"You sound like me."
"Oh no! Call an ambulance! I think I'm gonna die!"
I punch her arm lightly, then the bell rings. I quickly grab my stuff from my locker and head downstairs for Phys Ed. Once we're done changing into our gym clothes, we get ourselves ready to do some suicides. I groan, since I hate suicides. Then, the sky rumbles so loudly, you can hear it from inside. I have enough sense to know that's no normal thunderstorm. That's Zeus's anger.
Leo's POV
I run my fingers through my hair as I pace the Argo II. Ever since I've opened that fortune cookie, things have been going downfall. First, Annabeth and Percy fall into the pits of Tartarus. That totally helps. Then Piper goes missing. Who would just pluck a demigod and put them in who-knows-where when their on a quest? Well, there's her Royal Annoyingness Hera, but she probably didn't do it this time. But if she did, I'm gonna have to find her, and smack her in the head, as if she-
"LEO! Are you listening?"
I cringe. Hazel was talking to me, and I completely zoned out. Whoops.
"Sorry, what was that?"
She rolls her eyes, but continues.
"I've got a message. It appeared today, about 15 minutes from now. It says something about Piper, but I can't read it. It's in dots."
"Dots? That sounds like a Morse code. Pass it!"
Hazel passes the paper, and to my relief, it's Morse code. It says:
Dear Leo,
I know you can read Morse code, so only you can read this. Don't read it out loud. Gaea is waking. You need your friend Piper. You will find her in a place called Brampton. Good day, and good luck. You'll need it. And remember the forgotten.
From,
Somebody
I read it over, and there's only one word that's in English. Piper. Where on earth is Brampton? Remember the forgotten? I wish Annabeth were here…
"Well Leo? What does it say?"
"It says for me not to read it out loud."
"So then give me a summary."
"Well, it says to find Piper, I have to find her in a place called Brampton."
"Do you know where that is?"
"Nope."
She raises her eyebrow.
"Shouldn't you know?"
"Well, do you know where it is?" I ask her.
"Yep. Canada."
I start to think of a way on how to get to Canada, when Festus gives me a scan of the area. He finds some Celestial Bronze, which I can use to make a teleporting device.
"Hazel, I'm going to be gone a while, okay? I need to get a few things."
"Are you sure-?"
"I'll be fine. I have my tool belt and my charm. What else do I need?"
She rolls her eyes at me again, and I dock the Argo II. I walk over to where the Celestial Bronze is. I suddenly hear a soft, sleepy whisper in my ear. My anger bubbles as I recognize the voice. Gaea.
"Leo, why do you persist to be on the losing side? Join us…join us….. join us….."
Something about that was vaguely familiar. Like a forgotten dream…
"Leo, do you remember? Do you remember my daughter?"
"No, but I think she's just as bad as you!" I spat. But Gaea only laughed.
"Dear demigod, I want you to tell that in her face. I bet you wouldn't do it, because she's just too powerful."
"I'm not afraid of her! She must be a horrible monster, and I'd hate being in her presence!"
"So touching… it's a shame she's a disgrace to us."
"What're you talking about?"
"She's disgraced us. How about you talk to her about it?"
Before I can say anything, there's lightning, and I black out.
Sistra's POV
"Are you sure you're okay Sistra? You kinda blacked out for a few minutes."
"I did?"
Penelope nods. While the sky was rumbling, I was having a dream with my wretched mother.
"Sistra…. I do not lie. Leo is coming, and he'll face his death."
"You don't know that!" I shout at her.
"Why of course I do. I'm Mother Nature. I know these things. Prove to me your worth, and kill him for me. Everyone has to die at some point in time anyways."
"But it doesn't have to end like that."
"Suit yourself. But remember, he doesn't remember you."
"So? He wouldn't judge me, he wouldn't break my heart like that!"
"Fine. Be stubborn. Don't say I didn't warn you though."
"LEAVE ME ALONE MOTHER!"
"Sistra wake up!"
It was at that point in time I woke up, and was sent home. While I was walking, the clear blue sky suddenly turned cloudy and depressing. There was an all-too-familiar lightning bolt hit an all-too-familiar tree. I ran as fast as I could to the tree to see a very familiar boy under it, groaning.
"Who are you?" I asked.
He didn't reply, so I asked again. This time, I helped him stand up. He was shaky, but he could still stand though.
"Who are you?"
Groaning, he replied the worst possible answer.
"M-my name is Leo. Leo Valdez.
So how was that? Was it good? Bad? Meh? Either way, tell me in the reviews! I'll try to update, but I still have to read HoH. Sorry if Leo's POV stinks, I don't know what runs through a boys mind. So, until we meet again, try not to get arrested! Kay, bye.
