Leo walked down the narrow hallway, approaching the Main Room. He was feeling good about Thalia. She turned him down earlier, but once she discovered his new Mascara invention, she'd love him. Cuz all da ladies love Leo.

Grabbing the door knob, Leo started to enter the room, but his smirk faded. Maybe it was his imagination, or maybe it was Aphrodite messing with his head again, but he could've sworn he heard his name.

Whatever, he thought. Thalia could be talking about how unbelievably attractive he was… until he heard a high pitched "ewwww, haha, that's so gross."

Thalia's voice.

Taking his hand away from the door, he leaned his ear in.

"Gods, help him. And just think about what he did to his mother." Piper exclaimed.

"Come on guys, stop being so mean…" Jason replied

That's my bro, Leo thought. Always backing him up.

"Uh, psh, come on. Do elves even have feelings?" Frank sneered.

Ese capullo, Leo thought.

Swinging the door open to give Frank a knockout, his eyes rested on Jason, who was laughing at Frank's joke. That is, until he saw Leo standing in the doorway.

"Leo…" Jason gasped, starting towards him.

Leo was breathless. Turning on his heel, he went back out the door, feeling the heat starting to form in his hands…

"Leo!" Jason yelled, jogging after him.

Leo didn't care anymore. Why should he? The world didn't care about him? He was nothing. Always riding under Piper and Jasons's spotlight.

Shaking his head, he turned the corner, and that's where he saw her.

His mother, in a ghostly form, her hands outstretched towards him.

"Come, m'ijo" She exclaimed.

And the next thing Leo saw was darkness.
