(Leo's P.O.V.)
I didn't expect to be caught mid-air from a falcon. It set me down softly and when to grab Fetus. I'd been trying to work on him ever since he had broken down. This falcon tried to keep it from crashing, and it suceeded. The dragon itself, was all in one peice. It landed with a crash and I ran to it, the falcon had fallen underneath, it wasn't a falcon anymore. Diana? What the Hades was she doing out in the forest at 7 in the morning. She was sprawled on the forest floor with Fetus on top of her, I pushed the dragon off of her and checked her pulse. It surprising was still there, I picked her up and walked to Bunker 9, I set her on a couch and fed her some nectar. She didn't wake up from a while, and I just paced back in forth. Nico was going to be really pisst at me if she died. They had become really close, not that I was jelouse or anything, I just didn't want an army of undead chasing me.
"Would you stop pacing Leo? It's not making my dizziness any better." a voice said, I looked at Diana and she was smiling back at me, it was sad smile, but still a smile.
"Oh thank the gods! You're alive, I was worried that Nico was going to se-" I got cut off by Diana.
"Leo, shut up and get me a glass of water." she said.
"Uh okay." I went to mini fridge I had and grabbed a water bottle, "Here." I handed the bottle to her.
"Thanks. Was the dragon Fetus?" she asked as she popped the cap off.
"Yeah. I'm trying to fix him." I said, she popped something in her mouth and washed it down with the water.
"Can I look at him?" she asked.
"Um, sure." I held out my hand and helped her out, she gripped my hand a tightly as she tried to regain balace.
She took a breath, "Okay." she said and let go of my hand. We walked back outside and I showed her Fetus, "Okay, I'm going to need a screwdriver, wrench and pliers." she said.
I reached in my tool belt and pulled out the items and handed it to her. She grinned, "Nice tool belt Chico de reparación." she said.
"What did you just say?" I asked.
"I said nice tool belt." she said, she looked at me a bit confused.
"No after that." I said.
"Oh, Chico de reparación? It's spanish for Repair boy." she explained looking at Fetus' head.
"I know what it means, but how did you know Spanish and my nickname?" I asked.
"One, I know a lot of languages, two, I talk with Piper a sometimes." she said, she adjusted some stuff. I heard her huff a few times and she came up a couple minutes later, "Found why it wasn't working." she held up a black motherdrive. "It's crippled, I can get a new one for you if you want." she said. She jumped down from Fetus and handed me the drive, it was charred and black, like it had been struck to much, in which it probably had.
"Um, sure." I flashed an impish grin. She just smirked at me, she was way out of my legue, and naturally I fell for her.
"Halt male!" a female voice said.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"I don't know." she said.
Suddenly we were surrounded by girls, their arrows all pointed at us.
"Who are you?" a girl sneered.
"I'm Diana Silvermoon and this is Leo Valdez." Diana said calmly, "Put down your bows."
"What's going on?" a girl asked, she looked a bit like me and when she saw me she nodded, "Hello Leo. Who is your... friend?"
"Uh... this is Diana Silvermoon, daugther of- ow! What was that for?" Diana elbowed me in the ribs and shot me a look that read, 'don't tell them.'
"I see. I will go get Lady Artemis." Thalia said then ran off.
"Was that Thalia?" Diana asked.
"Yeah. Like Jason said, you look like her." I said.
"Yeah, kinda weird don't ya think?" She said, I didn't get to answer because a girl of the average age of her hunters, which is around twelve or thirteen, with auburn hair gathered back in a ponytail, cold and bright eyes as silvery yellow as the winter moon, and her face was of such beauty that it made me catch my breath.
"Leo." Artemis address, she looked at Diana and for a second I thought I saw something, love? "Who are you?" she asked Diana.
"Diana Silvermoon milady." she said bowing slightly, "May I ask why you're here?"
"We are hunting a monster near here. We will stay here till further notice." Artemis explained.
"I see. Leo and I will guide you to camp, the forest can be a dangerous place." She grabbed my hand and held it, why I don't know. It kinda felt nice, I've held girl's hand before ot try too, but this felt different. We walked to the camp with the Hunter's behind us and Diana holding my hand, she stayed a decent distance but her hand was still in mine, "Here. I'll go tell Chiron you're here." Thalia nodded and led the hunter's inside. I heard Diana sighed in relief, she let go of my hand, "Um.. sorry about that... I... uh... just wanted to know someone else was there besides them." She muttered.
"You okay?" I asked, she seemed a lot more nervous. "Yeah, those girls... I don't know, something's off about them... Come on, let's go find Chiron." we walked to the big house in silence, when Diana knocked, Chiron opened it.
"Ah, Diana, Leo. What can I help you?" Chiron asked, inviting us in. Diana just sat on a couch and I sat next to her.
"The Hunters of Artemis are here. They said they would be staying here until further notice. Something about a monster in this proximity." Diana said, I was actually surprised that she wsa able to talk.
Chiron slowly nodded, "Yes, she informed of that... Well we will extend our hospitality for however long they stay here. Is that all?"
Diana bit her lip like she wanted to say omething but decided not, "That's all." Diana said, she nodded slightly and we left. She sighed again in relief, we just started walking in some directions.
"You seemed stiff in there." I said, half jokily.
She bit her lip again, "Um.. what are you talking about?" she mumbled looked at the ground.
"You seem uncomfortable with the Hunters."
"I'm not, it's just... something off. They're here for more than just hunting." she muttered. We stopped at the lava wall, "I don't know. Maybe it's just my imagination, I don't know." she said, she took off her sweater and she was wearing a black tank top, "Wanna go climbing? Not like the lava will actually hurt you." she joked.
I scoffed, "We'll see. First one to the top!" I yelled then we both clipped clips to the belt and tied it around our wait.
(Thalia P.O.V.)
"My lady, where are we going?" I asked Artemis, we were walking in a forest, for some reason it looked fimilar.
"We are going to Camp Half-blood." she said calmly. Several hunter's groaned, but she didn't pay attention to that.
"Why?" I asked, I couldn't help myself. I won't lie, a little bit of me liked Camp Half-blood, besides I could see my brother, Annabeth, Percy. My friends were there.
"This monster stays in close proximity to Camp Half-blood, I want to find out why. It won't go past the forest, it is gone now, to where I'm not sure. For now, we will stay at Camp Half-blood and find out why it's staying so close." she explained, "I sense someone. Hunter's advance!" most of the Hunter's went ahead, I pulled out my bow and arrows. She nodded and I went ahead.
"I'm Diana Silvermoon and this is Leo Valdez. Put down your bows." I heard a voice say.
I found the other Hunters, they were circling a girl and boy. Leo, and a girl that looked kind of like me. "What's going on?" I asked, "Hello Leo. Who is your... friend?"
"Uh... this is Diana Silvermoon, daugther of- ow! What was that for?" she elbowed him in the ribs and shot him a glare.
I was confused for a moment, "I see. I will go get Lady Artemis." I said then ran off to get Artemis.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"Leo Valdez in which you know, and some girl named Diana Silvermoon." I explained, she tensed up for a second then relaxed.
"I see. Let us go meet this... Diana Silvermoon." she said, I nodded and brought her over to the two.
"Leo." Artemis address, she looked at Diana. "Who are you?" she asked Diana.
"Diana Silvermoon milady." she said bowing slightly, "May I ask why you're here?"
"We are hunting a monster near here. We will stay here till further notice." Artemis explained, not giving anymore details.
"I see. Leo and I will guide you to camp, the forest can be a dangerous place." she said. Artemis nodded once and getured to the Hunter's to put down their bows. She grabbed Leo's hand and held it, why I don't know. I thought they might have been a couple, but I saw Leo's shock as well. We walked to camp, we stayed a good distance from Leo. Diana was still holding his hand, she wasn't super close to him but not super far, I wondered what was going on.
"Here. I'll go tell Chiron you're here." She said. I nodded and I lead them inside. I remember this place, except it was different. It didn't seem vacant anymore, not like we got here now it's not vacant, as in someone else has been here besides us. I sighed and shook my head. The hunter's went to their rooms, I usally had the first one, but when I opened the door it was already taken. I would've left but some paper's caught my attention. I picked them up and saw they were song sheets. I put them on the nightstand and left taking the room next to it. I sighed and set my bad down, I unpacked my things. I came out and closed the door and sat with the Hunter's.
"Thalia." Artemis said, gesturing to the spot next to her. I sat down to the right of her, "Remember girls, relax, observe, try to answer the question. Why does this python only stay in this area?"
"Maybe it's one of the camper's is helping it?" Leana, a nymph who had recently joined.
Artemis shook her head, "I don't see how, it's ver-" she was cut off my a scream and a huge thud. We ran out of the door and saw half the Apollo cabin running to the lava wall. We saw an Apollo camper pretty much drag Diana to the imfirmiry, she didn't look happy about it.
(Diana's P.O.V.)
Leo and I had climbed the lava wall a lot and barely dodged lava. We reached the bottom for the hundrenth time or something. We were sweating and out of breath.
"I do belive I won." Leo said grinning.
I scoffed, "One last time, and we shall see who wins."
We climbed a least halfway up, but the next rock of me, wasn't a rock anymore, It was lava, it trailed down my forearm, and I fell screaming. Leo jumped down by his rope and checked on me.
"I hate lava sometimes." he muttered. He helped me up, keeping a hand on my waist.
"Leo, I'm fine." I said.
"Pfft, says the girl who's arm is black." Will said, he with half of the Apollo cabin was there, "Come on Diana. To the imfirmy." He dragged me to imfirmy, and I wasn't happy about at all.
Line Break...
I winced slightly as Will put some guaze on my arm, "It's just a burn." I muttered.
"Just a burn? You realize you have three-degree burns and you have to wear bandages for a week." Will said.
I blew a strand of hair off my face, "Whatever. It was my left arm, it's not my domiant hand." I said.
"Too bad." Will said. I huffed as he wrapped a bandage on my forearm.
"What's going on?" a girl asked, it was Artemis.
"She fell and burned her arm." Will said, I rolled my eyes.
"How are your ribs." Will asked. My breath hitched a bit, I wouldn't tell him that Fetus fell on me because he was going to ask why, and I really did not want to tell him about this morning.
"Fine." I said, prehaps a bit too fast because Will frowned.
"Not according to the x-ray." he said giving me a very doctory look.
"Why did you take an x-ray?" I asked.
"You fell 5 feet on your stomach, I needed to see if your rib cage was okay. It clearly isn't, there's at least a few broken." Will said.
I bit my lip, I wasn't going to tell him, "Okay so what? I might've just broken them when I fell."
"Except, these are several hours old and half mended, like nectar has healed them." Will said focusing on the x-ray, "You were with Leo right?"
"Uh.. yeah..." I muttered.
"I'll ask him, in fact I'll go get him." Will then left the room, I rolled my eyes.
"Boys." I muttered.
"You ever considered being a hunter?" Thalia asked, I had forgotten she was there.
"No, not really. Sure the boys get on my nerves but not enough to make me swear them off." I told her. Will came back with Leo right behind him.
"So is she okay?" Leo asked.
"I'm fine." I told him calmly.
"That's a lie. Leo, you were with her this morning correct?" Will asked and Leo turned red.
"Yeah..." he scratched the back of his neck, "Why?"
"What happened? Diana has several half-healed ribs, what's with that?"
Leo turned a bright shade of red, and looked at me, and shook my head slightly.
"Well... um... I don't know." he said.
Will frowned, "You don't know?"
"Great! Can I go now?" I asked, cutting off Leo.
Will frowned and sighed, "Fine, but no climbing on the wall and don't take off the bandanges without me telling you. I'll fix your ribs once I find the problem, they don't hurt do they?"
"Nope." I said simply. I got up with Leo's help more or less and walked out the imfirmiry, "Thanks Leo." I said, "For not telling him."
"Why don't you want him to know?" he asked.
"I don't want him to ask questions." I said looking at the ground. The conch blew and my head jerked up, "Wanna go get breakfast?" I asked absentlymindenly.
"Sure." he said. We headed to the Mess hall and Nico came up to us.
"Hey Dia, hey Leo."
"Hey Neeks!" Leo said smiling, Nico glared at him.
"Don't call me that Repair Boy." Nico said.
"I prefer Supreme Leader of the Argo II." Leo said.
"What happened to your arm Dia?" Nico asked.
"Lave wall." I muttered.
We had sacrificed to the gods and went back to the table when everyone came up.
"Hey! Woah... what happened to your hand?" Piper asked.
"Idiot burned her hand on the lava wall." Will said. I stuck my tounge out at him.
"Shut up. Besides it's not that bad." I say taking a bite of my chicken.
"You have burns Diana. How is that not bad?!" Will yells.
"One calm down. Two, I have no idea, good bye now." I say grinning to myself.
"I will- wait what did you say?" Will asked, I snap my fingers and I turn into a tiny bug, but to them, I just dissapear.
"Where'd she go?" Percy asks.
"Heyo!" I say, I appear sitting on the table.
"Ah!" yells Jason, who is now on the ground his face full of terror. I softly chuckle and hop down from the table, sitting back on the bench.
"What the..." Frank says.
"You're not the only one who can turn into animals." I tell him.
"Oh really when did you find that out?" Will asks.
"This morning." I say taking another bite.
"Oh yeah? Tell me how." Will says.
I glare at him, "Not happening Sunshine." I say.
"I'm going to find out why your ribs are broken." Will says narrowing his eyes.
I smirk, "Try me."
Will groaned, "I'm never going to find out am I?" he asked.
"Nope!" I said popping the p. I took a drink of whatever I asked for, I wasn't exactly sure what is was, it was choclatly and cold, it was thick, but it wasn't a milkshake.
Will sighed in defeat, "Tell me Diana."
I snorted, "Not chance."
"Dcotors orders." Will said now he was just getting desperate.
"To hell with orders." I said. He was frowning now.
"Fine." he muttered. I flicked my hood up and look down at the table, a sense of peace entered me. That peace didn't last long. Find their secrets, they aren't your friends, their flaws. Show me their fatal flaws!
I huffed, "Shut up." I mumbled.
"What?" Leo asked. I just shook my head, I didn't need them them to interfer. I sighed again, Diana, focus on the task on hand. They aren't your friends. Yeah that was it, I abrutly got up and stormed off, I could feel everyone's eyes on me. Focus Diana, focus.
~At the Campfire~
Okay, it wasn't my damn idea to go to the stupid campfire, but he wanted me to. The controller, the one who feeds off fear or whatever. I didn't want to go but somehow I ended up next to Leo at the amphiteatre with my hood up and staring at the ground. Talk Diana, don't just sit there.
"I'm not in the mood." I muttered under my breath. I listened to the Apollo Cabin sing and everyone else chatter. Leo was telling jokes that I only half-listened too, Piper and Annabeth were talking and laughing, Percy and Jason were... oh what was the word bromancing? Frank and Hazel were just quiet together, they looked cute together. A smile flicked on my lips but then dissapeared. I sighed. I closed my eyes and random images started to appear, images that weren't mine.
~Flashback~
I was sitting in a chair, my face twitched every now and then, I was outside and I was watching a bunny. Boing, boing, boing. I laughed at the bunny, it's nose twitched, I grinned. I looked around to make sure no one was watching, I walked up to it, it was trying to eat, but it couldn't get past the fence. I grabbed some of the grass and put it in a neat little pile. It ate quickly, it was skinny as a toothpick, like me. I was thin in the extreme, with small, pixie-like features. I was 8 and my so called parents weren't hear. I put my arms around my knees and curled up, like I always did that. I watched the bunny eat, it had ginger/brown fur and light brown eyes. I smiled widely, it was so cute! It nudged me soflty and I petted it ear, it kinda reminded me a kitty. I laughed, I then heard a blood-curtling scream. I looked and it was my foster parents, my "mom" a gorgeous blonde with blue eyes that would make you faint, and my "dad" a sleek and muscualer man, with black hair gelled over. They were superstars and cared about their money more than me, out in the public, they loved me, cared for me, at home, I shivered at the thought. My cold hard matress in the basement, the starvation. I was bombarded with camera's flashing, my mother picked me up away from the bunny.
"Oh Diana. My little princess, what are you doing with that savage beast!" she asked, her mascara running down, she was fake crying.
"It isn't savage! It's starving!" I said. My mother suddenly kicked the bunny away.
"Go away! You little beast. Shoo! Shoo!" she screamed.
"Mama, mama! Please don't!" I cried. She carried me a limo, caressing me. We got home 20 minutes later, and she dropped me on the floor.
"You idiot child! What did we say about wild creatures!" she snapped, her blue eyes turning to ice and venom filled her words.
"That they'll hurt me and they should die.." I said through sobs.
My mother sighed in frustration, "You bitch girl, you. Stop crying you retarded bitch!" she snapped then slapped me. I my head hit the wood floor, little black blurs covered my gaze. I heard the doorbell rang, "Get to your room bitch." she snapped. I ran downstairs and into my so called room. It was a little closet with a bed that was like steel, a pillow that hasn't been used for years, and a little blanket that had holes in it. I heard the camera snapping, the reporter's asking, my foster parent's fake crying about how it hurt me and how it was savage. I cried myself to sleep like any other nights, it never really made a difference, I was never going to fit in...
~End Flashback~
I thanked the gods that I wasn't crying from the horror, I looked around it seemed like no time had passed. I gave a shaky sigh, my hands trembled in my lap, I almost could feel the pain on my cheek.
"Diana? Diana!" Leo shaked my arm, that got my attention.
"Uh, yeah?" I asked suddenly.
"Why are you crying?" he asked quietly.
I put my hand on my cheek, well scratch that for not crying from the horror, "Oh... it's just the smoke." I said.
"There is no smoke, the fire is magic." Leo reminded me.
"Oh right... uh..." I said silently cursing in my head, "It's nothing." I muttered looking away.
"Er.. okay.." he said, I sighed, I really didn't like hurting his feelings, I didn't like hurting anyone's feelings. Control your emotions Diana, lock them in a box and don't let them out. You're a heartless ruthless killer. The voice said in my head, "Oh shut up." I hissed.
"Are you talking to me?" Leo asked, I looked at him, the light flicked on his skin.
"Nevermind." I said, looking at the dirt again, "I'm not a killer yet." the last part I more said to myself. Leo grabbed my hand and somehow snuck us both out without anyone noticing. We went into the forests, his grip was tight but I didn't mind. We took a very fimilar route, I think we were headed to Bunker 9. I was right, unfortuanly things were about to get a whole lot worse, becuase he pinned me on the metal wall.
"Okay, let's be totally honest with each other. One, what the Hades is going on?" he spat. I stared at him blankly, find it Diana! Then kill him, or better yet make him suffer.
"What do you mean?" I asked playing a calm poker face.
"I mean, you were crying at the campfire, fazed out, and you refuse to tell anyone your emotions!" he said throwing his hands in the air. I kept my mouth clenched trying very hard to not let it drop in surprise.
"What are you playing at Valdez?" I snapped.
"I don't like seeing my friends get hurt. So what's wrong?" his tone was pleading now. Well shit, there goes all my protective walls. Diana lock your emotions away, do not find that key for a long time.
I bit my lip and took a deep breath, "Forgiving is easy, forgetting is a much harder fight." I said, then left him dumbfounded.
(Leo's P.O.V.)
She left without another word, I turned around and watched her go, running into the distance. I sighed, damn it Leo, not again. You've fallen hopelessly in love.
"Perhaps I can help you with that." a voice said in my head.
"Who are you?" I asked out loud.
"Who I am is not important, I can help you lock your emotions away Leo Valdez." the voice said.
"Lock my emotions away?" I asked.
The voice chuckled, "Oh yes. You'll never have to fall in love and reject again. Don't you want that? To not feel pain anymore."
Yes that was what I wanted deep down, but what would it cost? "What would it cost me?" I asked.
The voice chuckled again, "Nothing of course. Just a flick of a switch."
I felt a surge of energy go through my body, I felt emotionless. I went into the bunker and looking in a mirror. I was still me, but my face was stuck in a glare or a scowl.
"You'll never feel pain anymore." the voice said.
I smiled, but it wasn't my normal impish smile, it was cold, evil. I felt different, I felt good surprisingly. "No one will break this heart again." I said. I exited the bunker and went back to camp. I strode by, everyone giving me weird looks, I glared at them and they ran like puppies. I walked to my cabin and pushed open the door. I layed down in my bed and fell asleep, I had a very dreamless sleep. I woke up the next morning and got out of bed. I walked out of the cabin without even caring about my other siblings, if they were late they were late. I strode up to the hero's table and sat down.
"Hey Leo." Percy said.
"Whatever." I said.
"Are you okay Leo?" Piper asked.
"How about you get out of my business and stick to flirting. Isn't that what you Aphrodite girls do? Flirt?" I snapped.
Piper's face turned red with anger and I lauged at her. She would've hit me if Jason didn't stop her. "Aww, is Sparky now fighting your fights? Is it becuase your a wimp?" I teased.
"Why you little-"
"What's going on?" a voice said. I looked at the voice, it was Diana.
"What do you want?" I snapped.
"What do you mean what do I want?" she snapped right back.
I scoffed and rolled my eyes, "How about you just shut up." I snapped.
Her mouth dropped open and she glared at me, "You got a problem with me Valdez?" she asked.
"Yeah I do. I have a problem with your stuck up attitude and you just in fucking general." I yelled.
She glared into my eyes, "Excuse me? I didn't ask to be born! I'm sorry if my presense annoys you!" she yelled.
"Of course you didn't! You were never supposed to be born you bitch!" I yelled.
That got her, and she lunged at me, over the table and pushing me off of the bench. We fought, we wrenched, we clawed at each other. Her hand felt my forehead and I felt something go away. I groaned and clutched my head.
"What just happened?" I asked groaning.
Jason rushed to my side, "Leo? Are you yourself again?" he asked.
"Whatta mean?" I asked groggily.
"What do you like to do?" Piper asked.
"Uhm, I don't fix stuff?" I asked as Jason helped me up.
Piper smiled, "He's himself."
"What are you talking about?" I asked, I was very much confused, this morning had been just a blur. '
"I think I'm going to go." a girl snapped, it was Diana, she was standing a good distance away from us and she look murderous, the silver glint in her eyes was cold and icy.
"Dia wait!" Nico called, "What's goin-"
Diana held up a dagger to his throat, "Shut up if you know whats good for you." she said carefully and slowly. Then the glint went away for a split second, then it was back. She ran to the forest again.
"Okay... can someone explain?" I asked, still not sure what was going on. They took turns explaining what just happen, "I think I can explain a bit of that... Last night I went to talk to Diana and she kinda stormed off, she was pretty pisst."
Nico raised his eyebrow, "What did you talk to her about?"
"Emotions and such, she was uh, crying." I muttered, "Anyway, after she left I heard a voice in my head. It said stuff about locking up my emotions."
"Did you agree?" Percy asked.
I nodded, "I don't know why, but I did. Then after that, I don't remember."
"Hmm, that explains the personality change. We should check on Diana." Annabeth said.
"How are we supposed to that? The forest is huge!" Jason said.
"I think I have a way. Just follow me!" Piper said.
We ran to the forest and we actually didn't need to look very much, we followed the yells. We found her with some dude that looked like Ares, but it wasn't him. He was a good inch taller than her and his arms were crossed. We hid in a bush and listened to their conversation.
"I am not a pawn of yours!" Diana yelled.
"Lock up the emotions Diana. You're not a normal girl, you're a killer." the man said, the voice was the same.
"That voice.. it's the same." I muttered.
"I am not a killer! I'm not just some kid you can kidnap!" she snapped.
He scoffed, "Oh but you are Diana. I've been watching you, I know what you fear. We've gone through this." he told her.
"I know, you've told me mulitple times. It's what keeps you live. Get off your high horse once in a while." she muttered.
"Watch it Diana." he said.
She scowled, "Fine. Why do you need me anyway?"
"I need a spy. You shouldn't even been born. People tell you things, you find things out also." he said like it was no big deal.
"Why am I helping you again?" she asked looking up at him.
"This." the man threw her something that looked like a key, and she looked at it. She frowned.
"Right... and if I don't help you?" she asked.
"Then you're going to stay trapped." he said.
"Fine, I'll try." she said.
"Good." then the man dissapeared. Diana slupped down and sat on the ground.
"I hate these chains." she said out loud, "I hate life." she muttered, a visable line went across her wrist, I assumed it was her chains. She sighed and looked at them.
She got up and brushed the dirt of her leggings. She looked out into the forest and frowned, she walked straight, we decided to follow her. She cut through the trees and the bushes to who knows where.
"Where's she going?" Percy growled, he was starting to get tired running through trees.
"Shut up." Annabeth hissed.
"Both of you shut up!" Nico whispered.
She stopped suddenly in a clearing. Annabeth pulled us in a bush and we watched her, yeah we were stalker her. A girl appeared it front of her, it was a girl.
"It can't be..." I heard Nico say.
"It's been a long time since a demigod had stopped here." the ghost girl said.
"I know. I sense a presence here, why are you here?" Diana asked.
"I follow the hunter's of course." she said rather simply.
"Okay so why are you in the forest and not at the camp?" Diana asked the ghost.
"I can only travel so far. Who are you anyway? You do not seem fimilar since last I came." the ghost said.
"My name's Diana Silvermoon, daugter of Artemis. I'm not sure how but I am." Diana explained.
"I see. I am Bianca Di Angelo." the ghost said.
My jaw would've dropped if Nico wasn't curled up in a ball.
"As in Nico's dead sister?" Diana clarified.
"Yes. Nice to meet you Diana." Bianca's ghost said.
"Nice to meet you too. What's with this place? I've never really see it before." Diana said.
"The forest is like a maze, it's quite big. Things shift from place to place, this clearing is one of them. How are the chains going?" Biana asked.
Diana snorted, "Terrible." she held up her hands and the chains fully appeared, they were pitch black and digging into her skin, traces of her blood were on her forearm and hand with flicks of silver? They flicked invisiable and her hands looked normal.
Bianca frowned, "Odd, I've never seen chains made of Stygian iron... who gave you the chains?"
Diana shrugged, "Born with them."
"I see... curfew is about to start. Come back tommrow, you'll find this place again don't worry." Bianca's ghost dissapeared and Diana ran back to camp.
(Diana's P.O.V.)
I walked back to the Artemis cabin, they hunters were gone. Must be out hunting that monster or something. I opened the door to my room and walked in. It looked normal except some of my papers were moved from my desk to my bed. I frowned and shut the door behind me. I picked up the papers, it was just sheets of music I made, I just shoved it in some drawer and pulled on a silver nightgown, I had gone missing for the day and mysteriously appeared back. I layed in my bed and fell into a very dreamless sleep. I woke up at 4 a.m. and got ready. I took a quick shower and put on a light gray shirt, blue shorts, and a my silver sweater. I put in my moon earrings and both of my necklaces. My music necklace turned from a piano to a treble clif that looked like a heart. I shrugged it off, I mean this was Apollo we were talking about who knows whats going inside his head. I put on my silver flat boots that covered most of my calf and walked out the cabin with out waking anyone. Before I left I grabbed my music sheets, I didn't know why. It was still dark out and I went to the amphitheatre, there was no one there in which I planned. I took off my necklace and flipped it, instead of turning into a piano, it turned into a guitar. I was confused and then a scroll appeared in the air and plopped on the ground. I picked it up and read it.
Hey Diana,
I tweaked your gift a bit, now it can turn into any intrament! Isn't that cool! No need to thank me, I already know I'm awesome.
~Apollo
I looked at the paper blankly. I picked up one of my papers, it was one from when I was 10, I was into this weird thing call Five Night's at Freddy's and I made a weird song of it. I picked up my guitar and positioned it in my arms and started to play.
There's a shadow on the wall; stay calm, stay calm
There's a figure in the hall; stay calm, stay calm
Keep my wits and stay alive
Wish I had a 9 to 5
There's a stranger in us all; stay calm, stay calm
Every hair is on it's end; that's fine, I'm fine
Feeling my adrenaline; that's fine, I'm fine
I can keep away the creeps
Safely from my swivel seat
Somethings crawling through the vent; that's fine, ...uh oh
There's a ghost in the machine; stay calm, stay calm
They are watching through the screen; stay calm, stay calm
They just might drive me crazy. Hit me!
They are slowly closing in; stay calm, stay calm
Find an inner strength within; stay calm, stay calm
If I've learned one thing it's that:
Don't respond to craigslist ads
I can see their second skin; stay calm...
In the end there's only me; all right, all right
Morning sun will set me free; all right, all right
I spent Five Nights at Freddy's. Hit me!
I snorted at the song, I put the paper in a pile of random songs that I had made. I picked up another sheet of Fnaf music and I didn't remember making the song.
IT'S ME
We're animatronics who play music in the day
But at night we come to play
And we're gonna find a way to you
Now if you listen to the message on the phone
They think we're left in free roam
They left you here all alone
In us robots
Souls are trapped inside
All we want is revenge
And we know where you hide
Through these rooms
We go to get to you
So I bet you cannot stay alive
IT'S ME
Can you survive these nights
Dead or alive
Five Nights at Freddy's
These nights are passing by
Can you survive
Five Nights at Freddy's
Five Nights at Freddy's
Come if you are ready
F-F-F-Five Nights at Freddy's
F-F-F-Five Nights at Freddy's
Five Nights at Freddy's
Come if you are ready
F-F-F-Five Nights at Freddy's
F-F-F-Five nights
IT'S ME
A bear, a bunny, and a chicken and a fox in here
Is there only us to fear
'Cause it doesn't seem so clear to you
We used to be allowed to roam in the daylight
Until someone took a bite
Now we're stored in Fazbear's Fright
You'll be starring as the night shift guard
Do you know what your doing
Coming here every night of five nights
Through these rooms where we go to get to you
So I bet you cannot stay alive
IT'S ME
Can you survive these nights
Dead or alive
Five Nights at Freddy's
These nights are passing by
Can you survive
Five Nights at Freddy's
Five Nights at Freddy's
Come if you are ready
F-F-F-Five Nights at Freddy's
F-F-F-Five Nights at Freddy's
Five Nights at Freddy's
Come if you are ready
F-F-F-Five Nights at Freddy's
F-F-F-Five nights
IT'S ME
We cannot tell you apart
So we'll stuff you in a suit then
Are you the new security guard or a metal endoskeleton
More cameras would be a benefit
But it is just the opposite
Don't forget to pay attention
There's more of us than they mention
Can you tell what is your imagination
If what you see is a hallucination
Sitting there
All night long
Until you do something wrong
As your only friends
We will never leave your side
We'll forever haunt your dreams
And then you cannot hide
Can you survive these nights
Dead or alive
Five Nights at Freddy's
These nights are passing by
Can you survive
Can you survive-vive
Can you survive-vive
Can you survive-vive
Five Nights at Freddy's
Can you survive-vive
Can you survive-vive
Can you survive
F-F-F-Five nights
IT'S ME
I scoffed at the song, like I did at all my songs. I know just started doing random notes on the guitar. I few hours past and it was now like 9 and I pressed a button on the guitar, it turned back into the treble clef heart. I put it around my neck and fold the music into my pocket. I ran into Leo while walking to the Mess Hall.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey, how are you?" he asked.
I shrugged, "Same old, same old." I said.
"Same old as in nice or same old as in you want to kill someone?" Leo asked. My breath hitched, my memory running through what had happened yesterday.
I looked at him, "A bit of both really. Not like it really matters anyway." I snuck a glance at the forest, I saw a flash of silver. I didn't really think about it much as we entered the Mess hall.
"Hey Diana! How are you?" Piper asked, she seemed excited.
"I'm fine. Gods why is everyone asking me if I'm okay?" I asked sitting down next to Leo and Nico.
"Because you nearly tried to Nico yesterday." Jason pointed out.
I scoffed, "Wasn't going too. I was in control." that was a lie, I was so not in control and if I had a chance I would've probably killed him.
"Anyway, I heard that Rachel found a new prophecy. Something along the lines with the hunters." Annabeth said.
"Really? What was the prophecy?" Hazel asked.
Annabeth shrugged, "Not sure. Chiron is planning to tell us at dinner tonight."
"What are the Hunter's doing here anyway? I mean I get the whole monster buisness thing but there's another task at hand. There's a reason they're staying here." I said picking at my pancakes.
"What do you mean?" Hazel asked.
I frowned and just shook my head, "Nevermind. Paraniora perhaps, I don't know. There's something dangerous going on. Very dangerous."
"How dangerous?" Percy asked.
My eyes flashed, from silver to black, "Very." I said seriously, my eyes flashed again.
"Uh... your eyes kinda-" Percy started.
I sighed, "I know. I don't really it." I muttered to myself. I stabbed a pancake and shoved it in my mouth.
"Well, we're going to find out this prophecy and maybe you'll be right Dia." Nico said.
I scoffed, "Yeah whatever. I don't really know." I shrugged. I closed my eyes and memoried played again.
~Flashback~
I was 8, I was playing a guitar. People were staring at me, I was on a stage. Someone was next to me, a boy, he was playing the piano. A talent show. He was singing, I didn't reconize the song.
Hush now, drift off to sleep
Reality, a memory
Don't be scared of what you find
Yeah, it's all just in your mind
Monsters that live inside
Your head at night, they are alright
Cause they can never compare
To the ones that live outside
He snuck a glance at me, and I started singing, I didn't know the song but I knew the lyrics.
So dream, dream, dream your dream
Cause when you're awake, the nightmare awaits
So dream, dream, dream your dream
Cause when you're awake, the nightmare awaits
It's a fantasy, they'll be seeing you soon
Nowhere left to go, terrors keep breaking through
So dream, dream, dream your dream
Cause when you're awake, the nightmare will become the truth
We played for a bit then he started to sing again.
Rows of teeth penetrate
There's no escape, the veil is raised
Every mistake visible
So was it me after all?
A music box that creaks
The melody brings solemn peace
But only for one more breath
The last one you might have left
I sang the chourus once again.
So dream, dream, dream your dream
Cause when you're awake, the nightmare awaits
So dream, dream, dream your dream
Cause when you're awake, the nightmare awaits
It's a fantasy, they'll be seeing you soon
Nowhere left to go, terrors keep breaking through
So dream, dream, dream your dream
Cause when you're awake, the nightmare will become the truth
I sang with emotion, fear? Sadness? I sang the next part with the boy.
The ticking clock breaks the spell with every beat
Illusion or not, you are safe for now, so dream
So dream your dream!
So dream your dream!
So dream, dream, dream your dream
Cause when you're awake, the nightmare awaits
So dream, dream, dream your dream
Cause when you're awake, the nightmare awaits
It's a fantasy, they'll be seeing you soon
Nowhere left to go, terrors keep breaking through
So dream, dream, dream your dream
Cause when you're awake, the nightmare will become the truth
We finished the song and we got up and bowed, I held the hands with the boy and we bowed. We left the stage and he hugged me and kissed me on the forehead.
"You were great Diana!" He said, he had brown hair with it dyed red on the top and brown eyes.
"Thanks Mark." I said blushing furiously.
"Your song was so good! You're a good song write you know." the boy named Mark said holding my hand.
"Aw, thanks." I muttered, we sat down at a table, him sitting across to me.
"I know we're only 8, but we'll always be together Diana." Mark said.
"I know Mark, forever together..." I murmered.
~End Flashback~
I woke up in the imfirmy with a terrible headache.
"She awake!" a voice said.
I groaned, "What... what happened?"
"You passed out in the Mess." Will explained.
"Oh..." I muttered. Remember, I told you. Now find it, or it's just going to get worse.
I sighed and looked up. I watched Will, not like the creepy love stalker look, but the I'm bored randomly looking at people. I already knew his weakness though, not sure how it was going to help. Will is too caring, Percy is too loyal, Annabeth had too much pride, Leo fell in love too easily, Hazel was afraid of her curse, Frank is afraid of his friends getting hurt, Jason is afraid of hurint Piper, Piper is afraid of Jason's past, Nico is afraid of the dark. I thought. I heard a cold laugh, Thank you Diana, you've been a real help. I'll be seeing you soon. Real soon.
