The Treasure of Julius Caeser, A Percy Jackson Fanfiction and Leo Valdez x OC Love Story.
Chapter One ~ Death By Flaming Bull.
A fifty-foot tall bull.
With a flaming mace.
And the bull was on fire.
Because that's normal.
"WHERE DO WE GO NOW?!" Maddie yelled, blonde hair sticking to her forehead as the rain poured down.
Yet despite the water, the bull was still ablaze. Riley panicked and grabbed her friends hand, running towards a big pine tree down a little farther. This was just supposed to be a nice trip to Long Island, New York, to get away from the hot Michigan weather over the summer, but no, they took a normal walk in the park and ended up getting drenched from the rain and chased by a large, flaming bull.
The brunette finally ran past the pine tree, escaping the bull for a short amount of time as it was confused on were the girls went. Unbeknownst to them, two of the Demigods from Camp Half-Blood came out of the barrier, shocked at the sight before them. Without any weapons, Riley and Maddie thought they were doomed.
"YOU!" Maddie screeched at the boys, now aware of their presence.
"You two look like you know what you're doing...So uhm, mind helping us out here?"
Leo and Percy shared glances before the Son of Poseidon took out his pen. Riley gave him a questioning look.
"Is...Is that a pen?" She bit her lip so she wouldn't giggle. Percy uncapped the pen, and to the girls surprise, it became a sword, which he instantly did a run-slide and sliced off the bulls left foot. Leo took a quick glance at the blonde, who's name was unknown to him.
She be lookin' fine.
He smirked at his own thoughts.
"So, do you have some sort of pen-sword-thingy-sword-pen, too, or...?" Maddie questioned. Leo chucked, putting out his palm and letting a burst of fire emerge.
"How's that for a weapon?" He smirked.
"Pretty lame if you ask me, but..." Riley muttered. Maddie decided to crack another cheesy joke of hers,
"Talk about fighting fire with fire, eh?
"Oh God Maddie, shut up! Are we just gonna stand around and not help Pen-Dude with the bull, or what?" Riley barked, concerned about the boys safety.
"Yes." Leo and Maddie replied simultaneously. This earned them a facepalm from Riley.
"Okay, Fire-Guy, gimme a weapon, I'm helping Pen-Dude."
Leo sighed and pulled out the closest thing to a weapon he had in his tool belt; a hammer.
"...That will have to do."
She snatched the hammer from him and ran into combat.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Percy yelled at the brunette. She rolled her eyes at his attitude.
"Helping you, what does it look like?"
She quickly looked for a way to bring down the bull.
"THE KNEE! THROW THE HAMMER AT ITS KNEE!" Maddie commanded. Riley aimed, chucked the building tool, and hit it right in the kneecap. The bulls leg buckled and it fell to the ground with a loud *Thump*.
"NOW PEN-DUDE! STAB IT IN THE HEAD WITH YOUR PEN-SWORD-THINGY-SWORD-PEN!" Maddie directed. Percy hesitated, causing Riley to yell at him.
"PEN-DUDE! LISTEN TO THE BLONDE! ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!"
Percy finally understood and climbed up the bull, who's flame had gone out, and sliced the sword down his neck cleanly. It wasn't a pretty sight. The two teens were well-battered, excluding the bystanders, Leo and Maddie. Riley wiped the beads of sweat and rain from her forehead.
"Well, thanks so much for the help, guys." Riley muttered sarcastically.
"Uh, I helped!" Maddie stated.
"DUDE! YOU MADE A GIRL HELP ME! SHE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT! SHE PROBABLY DID BETTER THAN YOU COULD!" Percy lashed at Leo.
"I am offended, yet complimented." Riley murmured.
Leo held his hands up in defense.
"Bro, she insisted."
Maddie decided to stop the guys bickering with a cough.
"What are your names?" She asked. Leo boldly stepped forward.
"The names Leo, Leo Valdez, but you can call me 'The Man of Your Dreams'." He winked. Riley rolled her eyes and pushed him away from her blushing friend.
"Yeah, okay, Mr. Hotshot." The brunette scoffed. Percy sighed at his friends "charm".
"I'm Percy Jackson. And you guys might be...?"
"I'm Maddie Eastman, and this is Riley Stevenson." Maddie introduced them. She finally asked the question that had been bothering her.
"...Where did you guys come from, anyways?" Maddie piped up. The guys shared nervous looks.
"Uh...Give us a minute."
Leo grabbed Percy's wrist and dragged him to what he THOUGHT was out of earshot.
"Bro...What do we tell them?" He whispered. Percy had a mental debate.
"Well...The bull probably wouldn't have chased them if they weren't Demigods...We would need to ask Chiron, but that means we have to let them into the camp."
"They look trustworthy enough." Leo shrugged. Percy glared.
"You're just saying that because you think they're cute."
"So, you admit they're cute, eh? Tell you what, you can have the sassy brunette, and I'll have the fine-lookin' blonde." He winked. Percy tripled the extent of his glare.
"I'm with Annabeth, if you forgot. I'm not surprised, you tend to forget things." Percy growled. Leo shrugged yet again.
"Its not every day you get to help two hot babes in distress." He chuckled.
"Riley, do they know we can hear them?" Maddie asked.
"They're guys, Maddie. They barely know anything." Riley responded in a calm tone. Both girls looked at each other, then the guys, then each other again, and burst into a fit of giggles.
"Another question. Did Fire-Guy just call us 'Babes'?" Maddie questioned as their laughter ceased. Riley froze, eyes wide.
Silence.
"...On a completely un-related note, have you seen my shotgun?"
"OH MY GOSH! You're not actually gonna shoot the hot one, right?!" Maddie screamed, looking like someone just punched her grandmother.
Then she added, "Eh, Eh?! Get it? Hot one?"
Riley sighed. "So these are the kinds of friends I attract."
Maddie bent down and picked up a rock, about the size of an orange. The blonde pitched it at Leo.
"Gotta love me, Chica."
The rock hit Leo's head, a hollow sound resonating from it. Percy and Leo looked at them, wide-eyed.
"Why was that so hollow...?" Maddie tilted her head curiously. Riley facepalmed.
"I expected just as much."
"What was that for!?" Leo cried, clutching the back of his head.
"DON'T call us babes." Riley scowled. Leo smirked.
"No need to get feisty, I know you want me~"
Riley's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, a heavy blush covering her cheeks.
"You did not just say that. Oh my god, did he just say that."
Percy put a comforting hand on her shoulder, snapping her out of the trance.
"He only hits on girls who are out of his league. Think of it as a compliment." He smiled warmly. She smiled back.
"Thanks Pen-Dude."
"Please call me Percy."
"No can do, Pen-Dude."
Woah-ho hey look Im alive! :D
I've been having some family problems lately, and finals are this week and blargh. And I've been taking a break from Rise of the Guardians because my fangirling has become more extreme. I blame Hetalia. :P
I give half the credit to my friend Madelyn because she helped me write it. :3
Maddie and Riley belong to me.
Leo, Percy, Chiron, and Camp Half-Blood belong to Rick Riordian
