Sorry if it's been long! I have couple of exams and project but here it is hope you like it
Reyna's POV
I stared at Leo at the Taxi before I blacked out. How does he know that I'm lying? Besides that I couldn't believe that we met an actual former host of the Egyptian gods. I could see the Falcon god, the Jackal boy at the army haired boy that wears loads of amulet.
Even so, I couldn't shook of my mind that I swear I saw a Red man that Leo had mention, I think he was the one who reduce my power. I also couldn't settle my heartbeat when I woke up and found Leo stroking my bangs. After the shocking and painful day, Leo and I decided to stay at the Brooklyn house. I couldn't sleep at all.
I thought about the red man and Leo. This may not sounds as me but I couldn't stop thinking about him. Venus must be playing my romance life. I decided to let it all go and went back to sleep. Bad Idea. In my dream I saw the Greek camp on fire. Percy and Jason trying to put out the fire and gods Leo tried his best to let the fire into his body. I saw him crumbled. I saw him dying in pain, but no one knew.
I woke up with a jolt. Gosh my shirt was wet with my sweat. I observe my surrounding and find Sadie and Zia talking. I went to them and stand between Sadie and a short haired girl.
"Do you have strange dreams before Sadie?" I asked. She gave me a dry smile.
"Bloody yes, at that time my appearance is a bird/chicken." She said.
"I had this dream… Would it come true?" I asked.
"It depends actually. So, this boy that came with you! Is he your boyfriend or something? He looks really worried when you collapsed." The girl next to Sadie nodded in agreement.
I startled as I hear a clank behind my back. Sadie and I ran to the source of clank. It was the boys, Carter holding a blueprint the army cut hair boy holding a tool box. I didn't see Leo at all.
"Top of the morning guys, I see Reyna has awakened." Carter smile.
'Say what?!' another voice came inside of a statue. Then I heard a bonk and his familiar goof face showed out. Leo is shirtless with oil grease on his body.
"Hey, Rey! Feeling okay?" He asked with his goofy accent. I of course blushed while Sadie muttered something behind my back. I'm pretty sure it means, 'golly why Carter never work out or something!'
He went to Carter and looked at the blueprints and muttered something in Spanish. He scratched his head and does his thinking position.
"Um, what Bloody hell happens in here, Carter, Walt? You should explain everything." Sadie complained.
Leo finally made his aha position. He asked Walt to toss him the screwdriver. He went inside the statue again do some magic of his and viola He says. The statue moves do some robotic thing. Leo looked very confident of his work.
"Gods Leo, you fixed the ancient Egypt mechanism. How can you do that?" Carter said with amusement.
Leo put back his cloth and grins. "What can I say? I got the move" I snorted and Sadie smiles. Sadie moved forward dragging me outside the Brooklyn house.
"Hey, how come your boyfriend could be so hot like that? Even Carter and Walt lost the hotness pageant." I laugh out loud.
"We are not couples. He and I are just friends." I shrugged at the word 'friend'. Leo came with Carter and The army looking boy.
"I forgot to introduce myself sorry, I'm Walt stone" The army l looking boy bowed to me. I nod at him.
"I'm Zia Rashid." The Cleopatra looking girl showed from nowhere. I smiled but my smiled completely washed away when I saw a baboon. I froze and ran to Leo.
"W-what I-is that?" I tremble. Leo held me and I felt comfortable. Yes, now the secret has been blown I am afraid of Baboons and monkeys.
"Oh this is Khufu. He is my baboon and eats everything ended in –O "Carter explained. Leo gap widened. I giggled and thought that Khufu might eat Leo.
"S-so He's going to eat me?!" He screeches. We all laugh out loud. Leo seems to not joke around. He frown and gave me it's-not-funny look.
"We should really get going Leo. We have our camp remember?" I said. Leo nod. "Maybe one of you should come with us to make alliance. We could really use brave magicians and combat fighters." I said.
Carter went in front and offers himself. Sadie wants to come but I said one is enough. She glanced to Walt and back to Carter. Finally, she nods in agreement. I could still see a little disappointment on Sadie's eyes.
Leo had a telepathy contact to Percy and told him to send two pegasi. When the pegasi come Carter and the other led a loud gasp sound. We chuckled and let Carter went on first and Leo sit behind him.
I sat on my pegasi and rode off to camp half-blood. When we came Chiron greets Carter. Leo led a huge mocked to Jason, Piper, Percy and Annabeth. They all looked shameful. I soon tell Chiron about my dream. Without Leo knowing this of course.
Carter was sent on a huge cabin made for an honor guest. Leo went to the beach alone and so I decided to follow him. He noticed me and looked back.
"Why are you following me?" He asks. I walked beside him and let out a small smile.
"Thought, you need a friend." He smiled and walked with me to the beach. He sit down and look towards the beach.
"Hey, Rey? Do you ever felt being in a third wheel?" He asked. I was surprised and looked at him then he shrugged. "Silly me you're a praetor of course you never felt being a third wheel" he gave me a playful smile.
"Valdez…" my mouth felt dry. He looked at me with confusion. I lean toward him and stop when I felt his breath. "I…" I pulled back and rest my head on his shoulder," always felt like a third wheel. Don't think that just because I'm a praetor and felt unwanted."
"R-really?" He looked at me and our eyes meet. I nod and he smiled. "Guess I wasn't alone" he snort. I held his hand which seems to surprise him. The breeze starts to give me chill. He lends me his jacket and held me closer.
What's this weird feeling? Why does my stomach felt there's butterfly and my face felt hot? I don't understand this feeling toward him, and then came out of nowhere Hazel pat my shoulder which gave me a jolt. Leo loosens his grip around me and I loosen my grip of his hand.
"What are you guys doing here? It's bon fire time" She said. We both nod and she left. Our eyes met again and we both led a small laugh.
"I'll be heading back to my cabin then." He said I held his sleeves before he could even made a move.
"Let's enjoy the bon fire on a tree. I don't feel like singing." I said smiling. He stood up and offers me a hand. I took it and he held me bridal style. He jump to the highest tree and sat there. I sat in front of him resting my head on his chest.
He hold me securely not letting me fell or out of balance. We looked at the bon fire. The cabin nine was housed ruffing trying to find their cabin leader while my camp tries to find me. We both let a soft chuckled.
Carter was sitting beside Rachel eyes full of wonder. They talked so much about I don't have any idea. The Apollo kids and the satyr were letting a soft and merry music. I felt comfortable with Leo. Even though I am scared to fall but I knew his hand won't let go of me.
