Annabeth was sitting in her room analyzing the situation.
What she knew:
1. Leo chose to risk his life.
2. The Romans had not attacked yet.
3. There had to be a sacrifice.
4. Leo was not-
Percy knocked on the door, " What're you thinking about?"
" This whole situation. How we can make a difference without having the sacrifice go to waste?"
"Maybe we cant," Annabeth whipped her head around to look at him, " Maybe someone else has to get hurt for us to stop Gea."
" I hope you're not right Seaweed brain."
"I still don't understand why he did that. I mean how well do we actually know each other?"
"You would have done the same thing. He did what he thought was right.
(TIME SKIP)
The Seven and Nico after much walking started to see two large, wood doors... the doors of death. Not far off from where they were was the small Latino boy that had risked his life for them. He was leaning against a "wall" with a large sword that looked like an large over sized bowie knife made of both celestial bronze and imperial gold. The handle was made of a black rubber like material. He appeared to be sleeping or at least his eyes were closed.
" LEO!" Piper screamed, rushing forward to hug him. Leo's eyes shot open and he was about to swing his sword when he saw it was Piper and put it down for the tackle hug from his best friend. After what seemed like minutes she let go and slapped him, "What on earth were you thinking?"
" I... missed you too beauty queen." He smiled weakly at the others as Hazel went over and gave him a hug, " Miss me?"
" I don't get it. You don't even know us and you almost died for us." Percy stepped forward to confront him.
" Yes and?"
" You barely know us. Why did you do it?"
" It was the right thing to do."
" What do you mean?" Leo smirked at Percy's stupidity, then explained,
"You are Annabeth are two of the strong demigods most people I keep meeting have ever known. Frank and Hazel couldn't die, they're too important. Especially because Frank is like the chosen one or whatever of Poseidon. And even if they had the chance I wouldn't let it be Beauty Queen or Sparky. Haha, hell even Nico is too strong and important to let go."
" So what does that make you?" Hazel asked him in a school guidance counselor type way.
"An awesome guy who should've died. As nice as this was what do we have to do?"
" What?" Jason finally spoke to his supposed best friend.
" Frank has looked over at the door at least 13 times now, Piper always chews her lip when shes hiding something, Nico hasn't stopped staring at them since you found me... SANTA MIERDA! One of us has to go in there don't we?"
" Oh so it does have a brain."
