LEO

It was night-time and time for Leo to sleep but with all the exciting events of today, who could? There was the meeting of Greeks and Romans, the Senate Meeting where Octavian was silenced by Reyna, the duels between the Greeks and Romans and of course, Piper's outburst. Who could forget that?

However, Leo was troubled by something else. In his mind, he flashed back to when Franks had that look of fear in his eyes when he saw the fireballs. Frank probably was afraid of fire or had a past with it. Like Leo.

Then, Leo laughed when he recalled what happened after Piper stormed off...

"Piper's really upset." Hazel observed as she watched the fading figure of Piper in the distance.

"Maybe you should comfort her." Percy suggested. He glanced at Jason. "Well?"

"What?" Jason asked.

"Oh my gods. Go comfort your girlfriend." Leo said, slapping his forehead.

"Huh? She's not my girlfriend." Jason declared.

"How could you do this to her? She just openly declared infront of everyone that you're her boyfriend and you're saying the exact opposite?" Annabeth exclaimed.

"Look, it's hard to explain my feelings for her, okay?" Jason said. "You wouldn't understand, Percy, because you and Annabeth are made for each other."

"All I know is, if you love her, just tell her." Percy said. "That's what happened between me and Annabeth." He added, looking at Annabeth who blushed.

"And me and Hazel." Frank piped up.

"Oh, Frank." Hazel sighed, looking at Frank.

Jason looked at Leo.

"Oh, don't look at me. I have no girlfriends. Yet." Leo said, putting up his hands.

At the corner of his eye, Leo saw Hazel stiffened but that could be his imagination.

"So, what you're telling me is to go after Piper and comfort her?" Jason said, making sure.

"Duh!" Everyone said in unison.

"Alright, then." Jason turned and ran to the direction Piper went.

Later, when evryone was heading back to the guest rooms where the Greeks would be sleeping, Leo noticed Hazel excusing herself to Frank and ran towards Leo.

"So, what's up?" Leo asked once Hazel reached him.

"I want to ask you a question." Hazel replied as serious as she could.

"And that question is..." Leo let question trailed off.

"Is your grandfather called, Sammy Valdez?" Hazel said the sentence in one breath.

"How did you know?" Leo asked, puzzled.

And then, Hazel fainted.

Of course, later Hazel was awakened and she went to bed but Leo couldn't understand why Hazel asked him about his grandfather and how did she know his name.

Camp Jupiter is full of secrets. Leo concluded as he difted off to sleep.
