I sat at the fire at Camp Half-Blood and watched as Leo's funeral pyre burned away. Hazel and I had been here since the war ended, we ad been waiting, hoping that Leo would turn up. The loss had affected everyone, but it Hazel the most. She was the one who found him…. After we found out he was really gone, Hazel just disappeared and I haven't seen her since. I can't believe he is gone. Tears started pooling in my eyes and I didn't bother trying to wipe them away. I just closed my eyes and pictured the last time I saw him in my mind. I had gone down to the beach because I saw a large group of people gathered around something. I had pushed my way through the crowd and I found Hazel, Piper and Jason crying on the ground .Percy was standing there with a shocked look on his face and tears in his eyes holding Annabeth, who was also crying, tightly. Then I saw why they were crying. It was Leo. He was lying on the beach, his eyes closed, a smile on is bloody, dirty face. The world suddenly slowed down, I fell onto my knees. Not him, not Leo, not the fun loving, friendly young boy who we'd all come to love as a brother. I opened my eyes and felt tears streaming down my face. He was too young, too kind. It was too soon. At that moment there was only one thing I knew for sure. I would never stop missing Leo Valdez.
