Chapter 7

Leo's POV

I hid behind a tree as soon as I saw Piper went out the hut. She run after Jason, I laughed at my misery. I already have her by my side and I let her go. I'm so stupid. I can't take it anymore. I'm always alone; it's always the same with Hazel, with Anabell and now with Piper. I guess Nemesis was right I am a good for nothing seventh wheel. Is it too much to ask to be part of something? I only want a place where I belong.

"Stop laughing. It makes me wonder if you're still sane either that or I'm insane." I looked up and saw Anabell looking at me with a smile on her face.

"I'm guessing the last one Anabell." I said with a smile, hiding all emotions I feel inside. Her smile turns into a frown. She walks towards me and lean on the tree.

"Leo you can't fool me. We have been friends for like 10 years." I looked at her and I began to notice things that seem out of place. The sword dangling from her belt, the clothes that she's wearing is different from her usual attire and she looks younger ..as if she's still 17 years old.

"You're not Anabell" She punch me on the arm and I almost hit the ground when she pulled me back up and help me stand up straight.

"Leo." She said as our faces got closer and closer to each other. I wanted to get away from her but instead she did the exact opposite. She pulled me and the next thing I know our lips touch. At first I was shocked and didn't react, but our kiss got deeper and deeper. I don't know how long our kiss lasted but every single second of that kiss is printed inside my brain.

"Do you remember me now?" She asked after she pulled away from me. I remember her real well. We have been classmates in the wilderness school. She was my first lover.

"Why didn't you age?" It was a stupid question. I haven't seen her for 5 years and that was the only thing I could ask of her. She was a bit taken back but she still smiled at me.

"You can't run away. Leo, you and I both know that we are demigods and no matter how normal our life might get we must never forget about our life. They are out to kill you Leo. I.. I… I..ate a golden apple …in order to protect you….Leo..I..I love you! "

Back at the Cabin…

Shirley sat down on the couch, next to her sat Anabell Lee across them sat Fae. The atmosphere was awkward and quiet. Everyone wanted to say something but they can't seem to say anything as of now. Fae cleared her throat and with a deep breath she started talking.

"Where are your friends?" She asked in a serious tone.

"They were supposed to just stay here." Shirley quickly answered.

"We need to find them. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen." Shirley and Lee nodded even though they don't fully understand the situation they believe in everything that Fae is telling them.

"Shirley go to the lake. Look for the girl Lee come with me. We'll look for Leo." Shirley and Lee nodded once more. Shirley opened the door and quickly run towards the lake while Fae and Lee search the forest.

Fae and Lee found Leo unconscious on the ground. They tried to wake him up but their efforts were futile. From Fae's bag she got five candles. She placed the five around Leo facing the five different directions. Lee watched Fae from a safe place.

Purple sparks can be seen emitting from Fae's hands. The sparks flew from her hands towards Leo. Slowly Leo began to stir. After a couple of sparks entered his body he was fully awake.

"Where am I?" Leo asked as he tried to stand up. He first saw Lee standing a few meters away but then he became aware of another girl as she fell on him.

Lee runs towards Leo. She was worried to what will happen to her twin sister. They have been separated for a long time she doesn't want them to be separated again.

"She's sleeping. Don't worry about it Anabell. " Lee sighed, she was relieve.

"I'm glad she's okay." Leo placed Fae on a tree and allowed her to seat there and rest. Leo then began to tell his tale.

"Awhile ago, I remember where I met you, no it wasn't you it was Fae. Fae and I grew up together. She fell in love with me but I turned her down. Awhile ago I saw her at first I thought it was you but as our conversation deepens there was something wrong with the personality. You two are not alike. She told me that she loves me. I let my guard down and you know what happened? Fae changed into a monster and attacked me. I'm really stupid aren't I? I let my guard down because someone said she loves me." Lee got closer to Leo. She hugged him.

"You're not stupid Leo. You got to stop hiding your emotions. Everything that's happening around you isn't your fault. You got to stop blaming yourself Leo. If someone loves you, you should be happy. Don't try hiding your emotions any longer Leo. You're hurting yourself and everyone around you. Let it all out..even just this once." For the first time in what seems like centuries Leo started crying.

Someowhere..

"She is powerful beyond her years."

"They will be more powerful together, as one Master."

"Yes you are right..After all they share one soul."
