Happy Halloween!
Ok, so this chapter is a bit angsty, and is sort of poem-y. Not what I originally intended for the prompt, but oh well.
CrazyAnProudofIt: Thank you for reviewing, I really appreciate it! :) The challenge is technically supposed to only be 100 words per chapter, but I already went about 80 words over the limit on the last chapter, so I'm not sure whether I'm even going to keep trying on that. And no, it's not AU, the chapter just took place while Leo, Piper, and Jason were at Wilderness Academy. It was the mist-memory that Leo has of meeting Jason.
I own nothing.
Leo loved his mother, but she was dead.
He loved Piper (like a sister) but she spent all her time with Jason.
Jason was his best friend, but he had been acting humorless (Roman-like) of late.
Percy and Annabeth were in Tartarus (thanks to him and that stupid cookie).
He loved Hazel (maybe), but he had promised Frank.
She wouldn't be interested anyway.
His brothers and sisters (Jake, Nyssa and the rest) were across the ocean, about to fight with the Romans.
That was his fault too.
So Leo just sat with Festus and Buford at the prow of the Argo II.
They weren't people, but at least they loved him back.
Next up: Hate
(I have a bit of writers block for it though, so it might be a slightly longer wait)
