Ok onto another chapter of second chance. I am discovering that this fic is very hard to write so if any of you have ideas please don't hesitate to tell me. I am trying my best to make this original. I don't want it to sound cliché. Also I am sorry for the last chapter being so boring and awkward. I know it was. Not really my best work. I just had to kind of establish a base for this story. I think the more I'm writing the closer I'm getting to getting it right.

Also I would like to think FangFangFang for their constructive criticism. I did my best to use what you said. I appreciate you taking the time to help me improve my work. I hope what I've done appeases you as well as my other readers. I am grateful to all who review.

Love you all faithful readers!

Chapter 3

Leo's pov

We walked off into the direction of the Senate House. Hazel let go of my arm after a few moments and Frank walked in between us. The Senate House wasn't too far away from the village area. When we finally got there I was able to easily recognize several people; namely Annabeth, Percy, Reyna, the Stoll brothers, Nyssa, Rachael and Will Solace. There were also several other people I didn't recognize including a strange looking boy holding a mortally wounded teddy bear and a boy who looked like he had a permanent Kool-aid mustache.

I sat down next to Annabeth, and Frank sat by me. Hazel sat by Frank and we just sat there waiting for the meeting to start. A few more people filtered in, and then Reyna stood up and walked to the front of the room, where everyone could see her. Percy followed. The crowd of about forty or so people quieted down after a moment, and she began to talk.

"First order of business, we need to assign the Greeks to cohorts to stay for the time that they are here," I zoned out quickly. They named the few that were assigned to the first cohort than the second. I barely listened. I hadn't heard my name yet. She continued.

"And the Greeks that have been assigned to the fifth cohort are Travis Stoll, Conner Stoll and Leo Valdez." Ok I'm in the fifth cohort. I looked around. I was bored out of my mind. I've never been good at meetings.

"Second order of business. I have talked with Annabeth ad Percy and we can finally reveal to you the seven of the prophecy." I sat up. This was more interesting.

"The seven are Jason Grace son of Jupiter, Percy Jackson son of Poseidon, Hazel Levesque daughter of Pluto, Frank Zhang son of Mars, Leo Valdez son of Hephaestus, Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena, and Piper McLean daughter of Aphrodite." I looked over at Frank and Hazel. And they were looking at me. I hadn't been expecting that. I don't honestly think they did either. Frank looked at me and I could tell he was thinking something along the lines of 'That has to be the scrawniest son of Hephaestus/Vulcan I have ever seen. What's so special about him?' Wait till he saw my pyrokinesis.

A moment later Reyna dismissed us. Frank left quickly; he had to go to archery or something. I stood up and stretched. My muscles had been aching for weeks. I can't remember the last time I slept in a real bed. The thought of the cabins were tempting. I looked around. Jason was already gone. So much for having him show me to the cabins. Most everybody was already filing out of the Senate House. I looked to my left. Hazel was still there. She looked at me.

Hazel's Pov

I got that strange feeling that someone was looking at me. I glanced up and Leo smiled.

"Need something?" I asked, trying to be polite. It was already clear to me that he was different than Sammy, not that it was a bad thing though. He was easily distracted and way more hyper. At first, he seemed a bit negative, but he perked up quickly after eating the pizza. I got the feeling he was probably tired. It was the Hephaestus cabin after all that made the giant airship. He thought about my question for a moment.

"Any chance you know where the cabins for the fifth cohort are?" he asked me.

"I would hope so, considering I pretty much live there," I said jokingly. He acknowledged it with a slight widening of his smile.

"Lead the way," he said with a gesture of his arms. I walked out in front of him and he followed quickly, until he was walking next to me. It wasn't a very long walk, and we were silent most of the way, although he did ask a few questions here and there. He seemed curious by nature, and after really talking to him, I could tell he was a bit of a jokester. He liked to play around and have fun, and he loved making people laugh. We walked into the cabin when we got there. Nobody was there. I figured they must be out training and such. Leo looked around curiously. I pointed to general places in the room to give him an idea where everything was.

"That over there is the bathroom, and that closet over there has cleaning supplies in it. The showers are in a different building." He just nodded and looked around barely paying attention.

"So where is my bed?" he asked, looking at the bunks around us. Some you could tell were taken but others were so tidy you wouldn't know. I pointed at one I knew didn't belong to anyone.

"You could sleep there, if you want to." I said to him. He went over to the bed and sat down on it. He looked up at me.

"I think I'm just going to take a nap, if that's aloud." I just shrugged.

"I guess you could if you wanted to. I don't think anyone would be mad at you for it."

"Good." He said as he kicked off his shoes and leaned back on his pillow. He smiled at me mischievously. "Goodnight." He said.

"See you later," I said as I exited out of the cabin, closing the door quietly behind me. Once I was outside, I let out my breath. I hadn't realized I had been holding it. I walked off to go find Frank.
