Ok, chapter three is here! School's starting up, so posts might be slower, but I will try to update everyday! So, heads up; some one will die! They are mentioned in this chapter. Maybe once, maybe a lot. Maybe they are telling the story... Duh Duh Duh! Enjoy!


Chapter One - Breakfast Tale Blues

Leo's POV

Leo kept thinking of the scene at the cafe. The way Hazel's eyes grew big, and she was suddenly passed out on the floor. He shivered. He hated that. He was scared. What if she hadn't woken up? What would he have done?

But it was over. Even though Hazel kept insisting that she was fine, Leo knew better. Something happened, and he had a feeling it wasn't the first time.

He couldn't help but to be bugged by the fact she suddenly wanted to leave. She kept looking at the Asian kid and at Leo. Was there something going on between them? Anger filled Leo at the thought. He paused. "Forget it. Why do you care?" He mumbled to himself. Jason threw a pillow at him. "Shut up Leo... I'm trying to sleep!" He hissed. Leo glared at him. "Well excuse me for feeling Jason!" He retorted.

Jason let out a moan of tiredness. "Hey Leo." He whispered, like he was about to tell a secret. "Yeah?" "Throw me back my pillow." Leo threw the pillow at his so called friend with distaste. So much for a friend's support.

All night Leo kept tossing and turning. Images of fire burned in his mind. He could see his mother's face, horror struck in her last minutes of life. "LEO! LEO!" She cried. Leo tried to speak, tried to move, but he was frozen in time, being forced to watch his mother die slowly.

She fell to the ground, the smoke killing her softly. Tears streaked her face. "My baby." She gasped with last words. Leo could hear Gaia's voice laughing. "Oh how I love to watch this. The death of your pathetic mother."

Leo's tear filled eyes burned. "Shut up! Stop!" He pleaded, on his knees. The tears seemed to burst out of him. But Gaia laughed more. "Or purhaps we should update this death." She suggested.

Leo's mom's face turned different. Her skin grew darker, and she shrunk into a younger girl. The girl had caramel colored hair and golden eyes. Leo gasped. There was Hazel, on the ground, dieing. Her golden eyes were weld with tears. She gasped for air, but smoke came instead.

Leo's heart felt like it was being chopped up into a million pieces. He struggled more through the force of Gaia's will. He needed to help Hazel. She was dieing. But it was to late. Those beautiful golden eyes went pale and lifeless.

Gaia just laughed more. "Pity. You love her and won't even admitt it. But little do you know the secrets she is keeping from you, and you her. She thought you were just another son of Vulcon. She didn't know a flicker of your emotion could kill her... again"

Leo's body tembled. "I'll kill you Gaia!" He screamed. "You're a liar! A... a murder!" Gaia chuckled in amusement. "Then we have more in common then you thought Leo." Leo stopped. She was right. The scene faded. Leo now saw Hazel, sitting at a bench with the Asian kid. Frank was it? Weird name, but ok.

Hazel was looking at the night sky, her golden eyes sparkling. She laid her head on Frank's shoulder. Her smile was like her eyes; golden. Well, like, pretty golden. Not... you get it.

Frank had his arm wrapped around her. "Right there." He pointed. Hazel laughed. "Frank, you can't just expect me to see one star out of all the millions." Frank just shook his head. "Hey, I am determined to show you our star." He protested. Hazel laughed again.

Leo watched. He had never seen a cuter couple. He himself has always fallen for a girl. He would love to look at the girl, and even kind of stalk her. You know, at a good distance. But they looked like a natuaral couple that sencerly had fun together. Not one of them trying to get the others attention.

With a sigh, Hazel sat up. "Frank. I can't... I can't stop thinking of Sammy." She admitted. Leo felt anger at the name. Sammy? Who was he? Leo bet he wasn't as good looking as he was. He shook his head. He didn't care. As a friend, he wanted Hazel happy. But, it sounded like this so called Sammy guy was just making her dreadful.

Frank's face became gloom. Hazel put her hand on his shoulder. "Frank, you know I like you. It's just... I keep seeing his face! I feel like my past life keeps getting closer as I get older. Like... it's telling me I didn't do something I need to finish before I continue living here, in this time." Leo tried to wrap his head around this. Wow. What was she talking about. Sammy? Past life? This time?

Before Leo could continue his thoughts Frank shook his head. "Maybe you should think by yourself for a bit." Before Hazel could object, Frank had already gotten up and left, leaving her alone. Leo felt like the friendly thing to do was to comfort her. He wanted to say to forget this stupid Sammy guy. But he had to just watch.

Hazel had a single tear fall from her face. "Oh Sammy... I miss you." She cried. She burried her face into her knees. And, for a momment, Leo felt her pain. Her missory of this guy. He felt like his own heart was ripped out and hallowed. He hated it And he hated that Hazel felt it.

Leo woke up a bit early. Maybe it was the constint nightmares, or maybe it was the fact Jason was above him on the bunk, snoring like a pig. Leo missed his little Bat Cave. He dressed in a daze, not paying to much attention to what he was doing. He strapped on his tool belt and pulled out a mint. Better than brushing teeth.

As Leo explored the new world, he began to wonder exactly where they ate. He racked his brain through the tour he had. What had Hazel said was the breafast place? He was to busy talking and doing whatever to even notice. Damn ADHD.

Finally, Leo stumbled into Piper, who wore a purple tee and jeans. She smiled. "Hey Leo. What are you doing up?" She asked him. Leo shrugged. "Tired. Hungry. Lost." He summed within a few words. Piper nodded like she understood. "I know what you mean. Luckily I had the Frank guy give me and Jason a quick tour. He's sweet."

Leo thought he caught something in Piper's eyes, but he needed to focus on the important buisness; food. "So can you like, give me some directions to the food place?" He asked. Piper smirked, rolling her eyes. "I swear if it was possible, you would marry food." "And there is nothing wrong with that." Leo commented.

As Piper lead the way to food, Leo began to see people rising from their beds, getting out of their Cohort's and greeting friends. A bunch still glared at the Greeks like they were waiting for an excuse to attack. And, knowing himself, Leo would be that excuse.

Finally they made it. Piper found Jason and began fixing her hair. "How do I look?" She asked nervously. "Like a Piper." She narrowed her eyes at him, but dashed of towards her lover boy. Leo couldn't help but feel jealous at Piper and Jason. They really like each other. And him? He has a date with a meal.

All the food looked great. Leo pilled on some when he spotted golden eyes. Hazel walked in with Frank and Percy by her side. The three were laughing. Percy waved Annabeth over, and the lovers set on their own course, waving a bye to Frank and Hazel.

As she promised, the two grabbed a variety of food and sat at the fifth table. Leo grabbed as much food as he could until some pale dude holding a half ripped teddy bear (who he later realized was Octavian) barked at him that he was taking to much.

Leo was going to sit next to her, but on her right was Frank, and on her left was a large guy that seemed to have blood all over his mouth. So, Leo took the next best thing. He plopped down in front of her. He grinned devishly. "Now time for my date."

"Date?" Hazel and Frank chorused. Only, Hazel's tone was more scared, while Frank's had an edge to it. Leo felt on spot. "With my food." He replied, pointing to his filled plate. Hazel laughed, hiding her fear of something while Frank hesitated, but resumed eating. Mr. Dracuala turned to Leo. "Your a son of Vulcun, right?" He asked, taking a swing of a glass filled with red liquid. "Hephaestus, yeah." He replied. Leo didn't exactly like the Roman name. To Star Treck-y.

The boy waved it off. "Same difference. I'm Dakota by the way." He replied, shaking Leo's hand like a rag doll. Leo smiled back, loving the guys freeness. "Son of Bacchus" Hazel informed. In a lower tone she whispered, "He's addicted to Kool Aid." Leo nodded. So he wasn't a vampire.

Dakota smiled. "I heard ya build that ship! Quite impressive. I also heard from that pretty Venus girl... Pipper I think, that you could control fire! That's insane!" Everyone frozed. Leo was in mid bit of a cinnimen bun when the news poured out. Frank's hand suddenly went for a spot in his coat, and Hazel's face went slightly pale. But Dakota didn't seem to realize the tension.

"Yup. I think it's great! Not many people with that power I'll tell yer that. Haven't seen them in over, what, about a hundred years or so?" Leo nervously laughed. "So they say." He replied, stuffing his face. Dakota laughed. "Well, I'll be back. Gotta get a bit more Kool Aid." He waved by and left, drinking the last bit of the sugar drink he had left.

Leo felt Frank's eyes narrow at him. He rose to his feet, suddenly not hungry. "Um... I gotta go." He mumbled, and dashed off.

His face felt hot. He can't beleive Pipper would tell anyone! Well, yeah, it wasn't exactly a secret or anything, but the way Hazel reacted. He shook his head. She would think he was a freak. See. You do like her. Admite it. Not now. Not in the mood. Your in the mood for Hazel. "Shut up! That's a bunch of bull shit!" He yelled back.

Leo turned to see Jason, his face stunned. "Um. Leo?" Leo suddenly broke down. He wouldn't cry, but he just fell to the ground, burrying his head into his hands. "The whole camps going to know that I'm a freak!" He moaned.

Jason patted his back. "Hey, don't say that. Besides, I think it's cool to control fire. Well, you know, I doubt Percy will, but he still thinks your ok." Leo glared at him. "Jason. I can't even control my stupid powers! What if... if like, I get freaked out and a house catches on fire? And the way Ha-" Leo cut himself off there.

Jason gave him a sypathetic look. "Hey, think about this; Piper can make things do anything, I can fly, Percy controls water, Annabeth is "wise girl", and who knows what else Frank and Hazel could do." He pointed out. "Your no more of a freak than we are. And you'll get used to your fire abilitys soon. Just gotta give it time, that's all."

Leo smirked. It was good to have some advice. "Thanks man." He replied after a momment. Jason shrugged. "No biggie. I gotta go Reyna wants to... speak to me." He seemed stressed about that. Leo was going to ask what was up, but Jason soluted him like an army man, and left.

Leo sighed. He stood up when he noticed a small, shiny object on the ground. He picked it up. It was a diamond. It was about the size of a golf ball, and shaped like a heart. He gribbed it. What luck, and near the Pluto Statue too.

Smiling, Leo made his way around the camp, the diamond in his pocket.


So, who's diamond is it? And aren't I a jerk? Mentioned every character in the book (that matters) in this chapter. So, guess which one dies! Anyone who guess right will win a prize. Wanna know what it is? They will be put into the fan fiction! But there is more! I am a writer in training (yes, I am but 14 people) and the person also gets to have themselves put into a book of mine! But choose only once, and wisely. Enjoy. ;D
