" Me. I had my second chance at life and there is no reason for anyone else to die." Hazel volunteered and Frank tensed and tightened his grip around her.

" No. I'll go. You didn't get a second chance at life just to die so soon." Frank told her. This went on for a couple of minutes. Everyone saying how it should be them, couples arguing because the other one didn't want their beloved to die. No one even noticed the solemn look and nod that was exchanged by Nico and Leo. The two started towards the doors and Leo was about to walk through them when Percy glanced over. When he saw what Leo was about to do his eyes got as big as wheels like a deer in headlights and his face wore a look of complete and utter shock. He did the only thing he could and yelled,

" WAIT!" When everyone saw what was happening they sprinted to the doors to confront Leo and Hazel shot a death stare at Nico for letting him come this far.

" Stop, Leo. You already sacrificed yourself once. You don't have to do it again." Hazel told him serenely.

" Give me one good reason I shouldn't." Leo ordered.

" You can't." Piper told him, her voice shaking a bit.

" Why not? I'm the perfect person for it. Annabeth is a genius and still has her family in San Francisco and Percy. Percy has his family, an entire camp full of friends, and is the most powerful demigod a lot of people say they've ever met. Hazel and Nico have each other. Frank has his grandmother and Hazel. Piper has her father and Jason. And Jason is like super powerful and has Thalia. At most you guys and Harley might miss me a bit for a little while." Leo countered.

" That's not true... I'm sure your other sibling will miss you too." Piper asked. Leo grimaced and ignored her. He made eye contact with Jason but Piper pulled him slightly closer to her and he shook his head,

" Percy... Frank, Nico will need help." he looked around again. Percy couldn't help but notice the way his eyes darted all over the room even as he moved his head to look around. It looked almost... maniacal but then Leo gave them one of his signature grins as if saying everything will be okay.

" Sure man." Percy said, stepping forward to take his place. Frank glanced down at Hazel, as if asking permission. She nodded and he looked back up at Leo,

" Okay."

" Step back, guys," Leo told those who weren't helping and they did as told. As soon as they had backed up far enough a wall of flames erupted between them. Frank looked startled but Leo said, " I don't think they have to watch... Well this is it."

" Are you sure about this?" Percy asked. Leo nodded and smiled reassuringly, but then his eyes widened in shock. He half collapsed and grunted in pain, holding his stomach but when Percy rushed forward to help him Leo waved him off and stuck his sword out in front of him. That was when they noticed the swords small and sharp yet some what flat tip. He only stayed in that position for a second or two before regaining his composer. Seeing the strange looks the three boys gave him he sighed and lifted what remained of his shirt slightly, by the corner. What they saw horrified them. Leo had a thick dark red gash that was slowly oozing out a gooey, green liquid just above his hip bone,

" Poison. I'd probably die anyway." And those were the last words he said before them closing the doors from both sides and the wall of fire becoming nonexistent.
