SO! Here's the second Chapter. HOPE YOU'LL LIKE IT
Leo's POV
Reyna was now in my arms resting peacefully while watching the Bon fire. It really makes me embarrassed you know? Holding the girl I secretly like acting all manly and stuff. I never thought that a Praetor like her would feel like a third wheel.
But, never mind about that! Before she answers me, she lean towards me wasn't she? Was she trying to kiss me? Gods, that wouldn't be possible I mean I'm just a repair boy with a fire within me. There's lots of boys that far much better than me. Like the Stoll brother, they're the master of prank here, or maybe the boys from Aphrodite / Venus cabin. They are all handsome and glamourize.
Reyna snuggle at my chest feeling comfortable, when suddenly a voice called out my name and her at the bon fire.
"Leo? Reyna? Where are they? Hazel! Are you sure they were on the beach not a minute ago?" It was Jason's voice. He was worried of Reyna. After he had Piper he took Reyna as his step sister. Talk about being overprotective brother.
"Hey Reyna, shouldn't we go there?" I asked. She shook her head slowly.
"Let them be. I want to have some kind private time for myself you know. Jesus, Jason wouldn't stop nagging every boy that I met. He said that I'm too perfect for them." She sighs. I rest my chin on top her hair.
I chuckled, while holding her closer to me. The bon fire was such a mess so we decided to walk there. I enter in a different way and went to my cabin seat as my mates ask where I was and how worried they were. Reyna appeared next to Jason telling him that she lost time when she watches the amazing view.
What a little liar I thought. Our eyes met and we chuckled. The bon fire continues and when the Apollo kids want to dance hokey pokey. I went back to my cabin right away. Not wanting those horrible nightmares about hokey pokey.
I went to Festus and repair him a bit. I was thinking, should I date Reyna or not, two possibilities that would happen right away after I told her my feelings. 1) Reyna turns out not to like me and leave me alone in the darkness. 2) Reyna turns out like me but then Jason would strike me with the thunder of death.
My life sucks you know, turns out I'm a dangerous child of Hephaestus and I feel unwanted and of course useless around my friends. Guess I'm going to be alone this Christmas. Well, I found new friends in Brooklyn. So, maybe I pay a little visit. Invent some stuff maybe.
I made a new blueprint of a flying automat Skateboard. How cool is that? Beside that I have nothing to do. Maybe visiting my mom's grave and maybe after I invent the skateboard. I would go and have an adventure of my own.
My when I went back to my burnt apartment and saw my mom's stuff, I had found a photo. A baby girl and a 3 years old me. I hadn't known that I have a little sister. So far my research on my little sister has ended on a suspicious Lab.
Let's put that side away for a moment. So far, I'm going to experience a Black not Blue Christmas. My half-sister Nyssa came and sat beside me.
"What is it?" I asked while repairing Festus. Nyssa toss me a wrench. I easily catch it because you know repair boy reflexes.
"This Christmas… I'm not going to return to my hometown." She said. I looked at her and pat my hands.
"So? You're going to stay here? Why?" I asked while she stared at Festus.
"I want to know more of my half-brother, thought that you want to have some gaming time with me." She smiled. I smiled back and hugged her.
"Finally! Someone that wants me to beat their high score!" I exclaimed which makes her laugh. She told me to go on to bed first know that I'm super tired.
Next morning, I woke up with a sense of burning. I thought it's mine but no, the source of fire came from the Hermes cabin. The campers were gathered around the cabin. Percy and Jason were busy putting out the fire. All of the campers were looking at me. I put out my hands and shook my head.
"Leo! Was it you? Was it you who started the fire?" Shout Jason. I stood at my spot couldn't move.
I shook my head. "How could it possibly me? I was asleep not half minute ago!" I exclaimed. Nyssa came and pat my shoulder.
"It's true. I was the one who told him to sleep." She tried to back me up. Reyna stood in front of me trying to back me up.
"How couldn't it be you? You are the only one who had the freaking fire power." Jason told me. My eyes sharpen to his. I couldn't believe it, my best friend just call my power a freak.
"You know what. It's your problem 'praetor'. I'm out. Good day to you, your majesty" I bow down just to mock him and walk to my cabin. I pack my things and grab my finished skateboard.
Carter came to me. "I know it's not you Leo." He said trying to convince that I'm not guilty. I shrugged.
"Thanks for backing me up. I know it's not my fault but it's Jason. He's the praetor, I couldn't say no to the leader could I? Anyway, they need me no more now. I have finished my flying skateboard early and well pretty much ran away from here." I said looking at him. He seems not that shocked and walks towards me.
"Me number one, is there anything that I could do?" He asked putting his hand on my shoulder. I smiled at him.
"Me number two, tell Reyna that I'll miss her" I said. Then I went secretly to Jake. I told him to handle the cabin while I was out. He was about to tell Chiron but I prevent him. "Don't tell Chiron until I went out. I don't want them to follow me, 'kay Jake?" He nods in agreement. At night I went to Reyna's cabin. She was awake and startled of course.
"What are you doing here?" She whispered. I held her into my arms. She couldn't respond for a second but then she hugged me back. After half minutes of silent I finally pull back.
"I came here to say goodbye. I'm sick of Jason bossing me around. Good night." I said. I hop on to my skateboard and flew away to the dark sky. I sat down at my skateboard while watching the camp from high above. Nyssa ran out from my cabin and screaming my name.
I pulled down my cap. Nyssa's voice and Reyna's was so vulnerable. They're so sad. I couldn't help it, tears streaming down on my cheek. I flew away not knowing where I have to go or where I want to go. Guess I'm on my own.
It seems there's a battle against bestfriend! So, what should Leo do? What should Camp Half-blood do without their amazing inventor! What should Reyna do? Should Reyna blame Jason for this? or Should Reyna try to find Leo? And about Leo's sister, I'm going to write that in another story ;)
