Congrats everyone who guessed right!
Guest: Don't worry no matter what situation no characters will die because I can't stand character deaths they make me sad and I will never kill Leo, he's to awesome.
Blackberry Explosion: You'll see why he's not dead in this chapter
Thank you to everyone who reviewed it almost made me do a spit take when I saw the number of reviews I have!
Disclaimer: Sadly nothing here is mine, not even Leo! *sniffle*
Wow, I feel dizzy, thought Leo Why is the sky under me? Where's my tool-belt?!
"Hello worthless demigod!" snarled some distant voice, "I am the great Tammi! Tremble before me!"
Why did it have to be a bragging monster! thought Leo.
"I survived the Giant war!" droned on Tammi
"W-where am I?" croaked Leo with a dry throat.
"Well my lair, duh!" answered Tammi
"Which is where?" asked Leo as all the blood rushed to his head.
"Look down fire boy"
"Wow!" said Leo who was currently hanging upside down over the Forever 21 sign on a rope "Uhh… Help somebody!" screamed Leo hoping to get somebody's, anybody's attention.
"They think you're a pigeon cooing (Leo was really starting to hate the Mist) and if you light yourself on fire the rope will burn and you will fall and die, also if you try something else I will cut this rope and you will die anyway!" Tammi said with a little craziness in her eyes as she showed Leo a really sharp axe.
"Oookaaay, umm… don't take this the wrong way but, why am I alive?" While she's talking maybe I can just hit her with fire. It was a great idea until he noticed that he was tied up like a rope mummy.
"Fine you like getting on with the point, stupid demigod" she muttered "Well if you must know I shall start from the beginning-"
"That's really not necessary" interrupted Leo not eager to hear her life story but she apparently didn't care.
"It starts like this, when I was a cheerleader some stupid Percy Jackson guy killed me when I was training! Can you believe it?"
"No way," muttered Leo while rolling his eyes, this vampire needs to shut up so I can think of a way to signal Annabeth!
"Finally someone understands! Anyway then it took me years to regenerate and when I did I was in luck because Thanatos had been captured so I bravely escaped Tartarus!"
Bravely, sure! Along with a bunch of other monsters. Leo rolled his eyes again
"Then Mother Gaea told me to go to Greece where I would meet my sisters but I ended up in China! I missed the Giant war because I couldn't find Greece!" wailed Tammi.
"Oh you poor thing." Leo said sarcastically when he saw someone just emerge from a shadow "But, umm… how did the great Tammi find me?" rushed on Leo quickly, he needed to keep her talking to get Nico's attention
"By accident, I was going for the strong scent of a child of the underworld but you spit on me! So I decided I would use you for all my info needs!" She responded cheerfully.
"WELL THEN! SO WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU WANT FROM A DEMIGOD HANGING OVER A SIGN HELPLESSLY WHILE HIS DOOM IS CLOSE!" screamed Leo trying to get Nico's attention but he was looking around confused (obviously not the place Nico wanted to shadow travel to) then he looked at the store and his eyes widened and he paled, he looked like he needed to leave this place quickly. I feel you thought Leo this place is a nightmare with all its clothes and bright colours!
"I just need the location of your camp" she stared at him "If you don't tell me I'll drop you and then eat you, but if you do I'll let you go, but you must let me enter your camp or I'll keep this tool-belt and put out a ransom for your head!" Tammi smiled cruelly.
"Okay then!" lied Leo "But before I tell you need to swear that uhh… you won't put a ransom on my head, you'll clear the Mist over me to let demigods see that I'm not a pigeon… and uhh… you'll give me back my tool-belt!"
"Sure, I swear to those terms on the river Styx," replied Tammi eagerly.
Thunder rumbled and Nico looked up at the sky, his mouth fell open and Leo smiled weakly feeling dizzier than ever. Nico blinked twice and ran towards Forever 21.
Well that's good and all but is he going to catch me or what? "Hey Tammi can you drop my tool-belt below my head? So that after I tell you the exact location of Camp Half-Blood I can go down and pick it up." Asked Leo
"Ok!" and she chucked down the tool-belt with so much power that he heard the wooshing noise, then she chucked down her axe. Both which hit Nico in the head, luckily the flat part of the axe hit Nico but he crumpled anyway. Leo wanted to scream but there was no one around except mortals.
"Oh my gods! Nico are you okay!" asked an extremely familiar voice, Leo was about to look down but Tammi interrupted his thoughts.
"Are you going to tell me or not!" demanded Tammi
"Huh? Oh! Right! Camp Half-Blood is in umm… Brooklyn! Yah! Ok, it looks like an old warehouse because of the Mist but without the Mist it looks like uhh… it looks like a mansion! And umm… inside there is a portal that will take you to… an uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! That island is Camp Half-Blood and you don't need permission to enter unless you have… Monster Donuts! Yah, you can't go through the magical borders if you have consumed Monster Donuts within a 72 hour period! But you can only access it through the portal in the mansion, which is in the warehouse, which is in Brooklyn." *Leo decided that was one of his best lies but Tammi looked dubious.
"But when Kelli was training me she told me that it was somewhere on Long Island," said Tammi
"Liar!" replied Leo desperately thinking of another lie "She didn't want you to know the right place because… she wanted the place to herself only and she didn't want you to realize your full potential!" said Leo confidently, well as confident as you can when you're tied upside down on a rope.
"Your right! I have potential!" exclaimed Tammi "Well bye now!"
"But weren't you going to free me?"
"You seriously believed me? Wow and here I was thinking that demigods might've been smart! Whatever I didn't kill you so be happy!" Tammi ran off to find an old warehouse in Brooklyn* leaving Leo on the rope.
Leo looked down and saw Rachel helping Nico up from the floor. "Hey! Rachel! Nico! Can you help me get down from here?" They both looked up.
"Leo! How did you manage to get up there!" asked Rachel
"Long story, painful story too, but I can tell you later. Is your head okay Nico?" asked Leo
"Yah, it's still pounding but I'm okay" answered Nico
"Well that's great! Can you get me off this sign, like, today? I think all the blood from my body is now in my brain," complained Leo
"How are we going to get you off?" asked Rachel
"Get Annabeth." Leo responded "She'll know what to do."
"I'll go get her," said Rachel "Nico stay here and make sure nothing happens to Leo."
"Sure,"
Rachel left them there and went inside.
"Sooo… how was planting with the Demeter cabin?" asked Leo nonchalantly, as if he wasn't hanging from the roof.
Nico scowled at Leo and Leo glared back at him. Thanks a lot Rachel thought Leo I'm just hanging around bored and I can't even have a conversation.
"So Nico, how's the weather down there?" Yep, definitely awkward. The rope began fraying. "Hey Nico,"
"What!" he snapped
"Do you think if I fell you could catch me?"
"Why?"
"Because I'm going to fall, soon."
"Great. Tell me when." He said flatly
"Oh you know, right about NOW!" Leo screamed. Nico's eyes widened and he saw Leo's rope snap and the son of Hephaestus plummeted towards the Earth screaming.
Hi there! If you saw this (*) then you probably want to find out what that is.
If you haven't read the Kane Chronicles this question is useless but if you have here it is
