A/N Hola, amigos! I'm BAAACK! One thing I noticed: PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THIS. AADFDCNJ&TFVBJUYGBN I cannot begin to tell you guys how happy I am! I was freaking out at 1 favorite, and now I have 72 views! EEEEEK! Also, I am SOOOOO sorry for the long wait. I was trying to figure out how to add another chapter, :P. Someone told me a chapter was a direct repeat, and that my A/N was wrong. I'm SOOOOOOO sorry about that! I'm new to FanFic, and I'm trying to figure that out. For the A/N, I edited the story and forgot to edit the A/N. *Blushes* Yeah, sorry! For the record, I know Jason _ _ _ _ later [thanks Rick. I didn't need my heart anyways, so you're welcome to smash it, bash it and shatter it] but this is SUCH an AU, so go with it. Ok, on with the story- Oh. Right. Unfortunately, I don't own PJO or HoO characters because that divine honor goes to Rick Riordan. Now on with the story!

Percy P.O.V

We all sat in silence as we heard Leo's footsteps run down the hall, then fade and disappear. Eventually, Piper cleared her throat.

"Well, we should look for him." She didn't meet our eyes as she spoke.

Jason noticed, and pulled her in a hug. "Don't worry, Pipes, he'll get over it," he comforted.

"Yeah, everyone needs a few insults thrown at them sometimes," I broke in, offering a crooked smile.

"It'll be fine!" Hazel added. "He'll forget about it!" She gave Piper a reassuring hug. Just then, Chiron burst open the doors and shoved the Stoll brothers through. He looked at them sternly and they both gave an exasperated sigh.

"Tell them," he demanded, his words sharp and his eyes furious.

"Fine," Travis whined, rolling his eyes.

"We played the pranks on the Aphrodite cabin and on Jason," Connor said, distracted.

"Th-thanks for telling me?" Piper answered, realization dawning on her. Chiron and the offspring of Hermes exited the meeting room, Chiron scolding them hard.

"Guys?" I asked, a sickly feeling sliding down my throat. They all looked at me. "We reeeeally have to find Leo and apologize." Annabeth looked ready to strangle me.

"Ya think?" she hissed. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Argue later, find Leo now!" Hazel panicked, getting out of her chair. Frank followed persuit. We all got up and exited the Big House, guilt on our minds.

I was trudging through the woods, thinking of my sorry speech for Leo.

Leo- We didn't know it wasn't you! I mean, some of the things are true, but- No, that's just mean.

Leo- We thought something else! We didn't know! But to be fair, everyone needs a couple insults thrown at them sometimes- Wow, I am bad at this.

Leo- We're really sorry! We had no idea you didn't do it! Just remember, we'll always be friends! Will you ever forgive us? Perfect! As I walked on, I calmed myself down by thinking that he'll obviously forgive us and nothing bad could ever happen. Just when I thought things were OK, a bloodcurdling scream cut through the woods, followed by a deafening roar. I froze, with three words on my mind. Leo. Hydra. Run. I crashed through the Camellia bushes and thorns, running towards the sounds.

By the time I got to the clearing, I was panting hard. The rest of the 7 (besides Leo, of course) came a few seconds later. What we saw scared the schist out of us. Leo was facing off with a hydra. He smashed his hammer back and forth, pulling out even more weapons (and breath mints) out of his tool belt and throwing them at the hydra. The thing wasn't even fazed. Leo, on the other hand, looked terrified. He gave up throwing things and eventually just shot fireballs. The hydra screeched and spit venom at him. He dodged and eventually noticed us. The look he gave us was a mixture of hurt, anger, disbelief, and hatred. My heart split in two, realizing how bad friends we've been. In the split second Leo glanced at us, the hydra took it's opportunity and struck. Time seemed to slow down as the hydra moved to sink its fangs into Leo's shoulder.

"Watch out!" Piper shrieked, running to help. Leo turned around in surprize, but it was too late. Haylie (that's what I named the hydra, by the way. What?! Just because they're monsters doesn't mean they can't have names!) dug her (is it a her? I'm not quite sure...) teeth into his shoulder and he let out a scream of agony.

"Leo!" I hollered, surprised to have found my voice. I surged forward but Haylie tossed him aside and was slowly advancing on us...

A/N Sorry if this is sorta crappy... I wrote it in a day... :P. And I apologize if it's short, I just needed a PERFECT cliffhanger! IDK why I named the hydra, but I guess it would make sense in the Percy chappie! :) Guys, just wanna say, I figured out how to make chapters but I have to make a duplicate of the one before, THEN replace it with a document, so expect the same chapter twice! Also PLEASE R&R, because I know that people are looking at this from my traffic stats, but no one reviews! That's all for now, peace out!
