Here with another chapter

They had been walking all through the afternoon. The sun had just sunk and the street lights were starting to go on. The wind started to pick up and the people on the street started to disperse.

"Look, ice cream," squealed Piper.

"Race you there," screamed Leo already racing towards it.

"Hey that's cheating," screamed Annabeth while racing after him with Piper hot on her heals.

"I definitely beat you then," puffed Annabeth.

"No, I so beat you-"puffed back Piper but got cut off by a deafening scream.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" the three of them turn towards each other at the same moment. The first time that Annabeth had gotten that spark back in her eyes since she lost Percy met her.

They ran through the streets trying to hear where the scream had come from. Ignoring the odd looks from the people on the streets they turned the corner and ended up in a dead end street, to find a girl cornered by a bunch of dracaena.

"Ahhhhhhh, don't you dare touch my hair you stupid snake lady"

"Daughter of Aphrodite much" Leo states.

"I heard that" retorts the girl. Gods she's got good hearing thought Leo.

She held a tin, bin lid up as a shield trying to scare of a snake lady while fending off another with a long pointed stick. She was doing a pretty good job at it too. That is, until one of the dracaena bit the end of the stick. She had a face of horror on her face like 'how dare you eat my stick'.

None of the shocked Demi-gods remember her from camp, so she must be new. But watching her fight against the six dracaena, that couldn't be possible. As she started to sing while still fighting it seemed even more unlikely that she didn't have any training. "No, no. She must be a daughter of Apollo, they are the only ones who can sing while running let alone fighting" informs Annabeth to her two shocked companions.

'Daughter of Apollo hey, she is gorgeous, way out of my league.' Daydreams Leo. He looks over at Piper for reassurance but what he gets isn't quite what he asks for. She gives him this look saying "Not again Leo, not again". I'll save her then she'll never be able to refuse me.'

Leo runs in the middle and screams really dramatically 'I'll save you'. The dracaena all turn to face him and slowly advance.

The girl sees her chance and runs over to a street lamp and starts to whack it with a branch. "What are you doing?"

"Get out of the way," exclaims the pretty girl. The dracaena getting extremely confused split up so there were two dracaena going for each demi-god. Leo engulfs himself on fire and wacks' one of the dracaena, which flies in the air and lands straight on the girl.

"Get off me you big oaf" screams the girl more annoyed than hurt. Leo puts up a big wall of fire trapping the dracaena. He then runs over to the girl and lifts the creature off of her. "No leave me alone I can do it myself."

"Roar" you could hear the thumping of the hellhound from two blocks away.

"On second thoughts" she laughs shakily.

In less than five minutes the hellhound was so close its drool dropped on Leo's shoulder. Without thinking Leo pushed the girl out of the way. The hellhound stomped its foot on the pavement which tore through the road leaving a huge crack in it. Loosing balance the remaining dracaena fell down the now gaping hole. Piper and Annabeth only had just enough time to make it to the small abandoned park beside the road. The young girl wasn't so lucky; all that was visible was her hands holding on for dear life. Leo, leaving the hellhound ran to the hole and offered his hand "Would you like my help now."

"This is no time for cheeky remarks just get me out of here," growls the girl. Leo reaches out to grab her hand but with only one hand he can't get the grip he needed.

"Give me your other hand. I'll pull you out?" asks Leo.

"What so you can drop me. I don't think so." Sounding more scared now.

Leo looks in her eyes and silently asks for her hand. "Trust me, I won't let you go." He whispers as he leans down to her other hand. After he had both hands he slowly lifted her out of the whole and on the ground near him. She was shaking quite traumatically now. Leo slowly crouched down, picked her up and put her gently in his lap.

Leo pated her back lightly while whispering calming nothings in her ear. After she settled down enough to talk she asked who he was. "Oh sorry where are my manners? Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus, at your service my lady." Leo said as he hoped up offering his hand.

"I am not your lady. I'm Rebecca Scotland, but you can call me Beccy. And isn't Hephaestus the ugly one?"

"Well yeah," said Leo scratching his neck a little embarrassed.

"If your any consolation to go by, he can't be that bad." She said not even realising what she said.

"Sorry. Are we interrupting something" Piper said after a slight cough to get their attention

"Uhh- No not at all." Leo said as he tried to cover his they got close enough they could see that the two girls were completely covered in monster dust and slime. They were both puffing and Piper was holding her arm.

"Thanks for the help lover boy," smirked Piper, "you cause more damage to us than saving."

It was time for Leo to really blush now, but it didn't last long because he did technically save her, "Hey I did save her eventually." He whined.

"Or maybe 'thanks for finishing off the monsters while I heroically saved my princess." Said Piper thinking it would have been a better answer.

"Seeing you didn't ask, my princess is Rebecca Scotland, and this is Piper Mclean daughter of Aphrodite and Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena." Leo introduces them with a short bow.

"Wow, wow you mean the gods?" asks Beccy.

"Well yeah. Have you ever heard of the Greek gods?" Leo says.

"Are you kidding I know all about how Hermes gave Apollo his lyre, and Aphrodite ditching Hephaestus for Ares, god of War. Ask away." Beccy exclaims

"You're telling me. Well I don't know how to tell you this but-"

"Let me" Piper cuts in "the Greek gods they are all real and you are a daughter of Apollo"

"So they are all real, that's cool." Beccy shrugs.

"So, you're not going to freak out or anything" questions Leo.

Then leans over Pipers shoulder and whispers "Did you charm speak her or something?"

"Wow, wow, wow. No hokis pokis charm speaking me"

"Calm down. I haven't done anything. He was just surprised how well you took it. Usually the new campers would go into shock or cry for a whole day." Piper said as she tried to calm her down.

"Nah, I always knew I was something special, like come on, look at me. To tell you the truth I was hoping to be a wizard and go to Hogwarts but a child of Apollo, I could live with that." Beccy replies with another shrug.

"Yep definitely a daughter of Apollo, she's pretty up herself," whispers Piper to Annabeth.

"I'm right here," sighed Beccy with her arms spread out dramatizing her point a little more. "Anyway why are you here, and not training to fight and stuff?"

"Well we were getting ice-cream on our break, but we had to save the damsel in distress," said Leo while referring to Beccy.

Ignoring the damsel in distress comment "Ice-cream, where's mine?" whines Beccy.

"Alright" gives in Annabeth, "but we will contact your family after ok." Beccy nods then they all go off to Cold Rock.

Let me know what you think
