"Leo!" Percy snapped his fingers in Leo's face, bringing Leo back to the present. Leo blinked in confusion and looked round. "How are you feeling?" Leo didn't answer, his stomach churning.

"Percy, he's gonna be sick." Percy quickly got Leo out of the car and managed to get Leo a short distance away before Leo upchucked on the grass. "Lovely." Annabeth cringed, keeping a safe distance.

Percy rubbed Leo's back reassuringly, helping his brother-in-law stay on his feet.

Leo spat, trying to get rid of the sickly taste in his mouth.

"That's nasty…" He mumbled.

"Looks like it." Annabeth said quietly. "Percy, get him some water." Percy nodded and sat Leo down on the grass, away from the sick puddle. He returned to the car and rummaged about in the glove box for a bottle of water. He knew he had one somewhere in the car…

Annabeth knelt next to Leo. "How are you feeling now?" She asked.

"Bit better." Leo coughed.

"What did you see about Lou?"

"She argued. Quite a bit as well."

"Who with?"

"Shadow master, Superman and her stepmom." Annabeth blinked at him.

"Superman?"

"Well, he looked like Superman. Minus the tights." Percy returned, handing Leo a bottle of water. "Thanks mate."

"What's this about Superman?"

"Louisa was arguing with him. A lookalike of him." Annabeth added quickly, noticing Percy's amused, yet confused eyes. "Don't drink it all in one go, Leo, you'll be sick again." Leo lowered the bottle, noticing he had drunk half in one go.

"Oops." He said, without the slightest of cares. Percy looked round.

"We should get going." He said. Annabeth got to her feet and looked round too.

"Yeah, we should."

"Hey, I'm Captain-Sat-On-His-Ass-At-The-Moment. What's going on?" Percy and Annabeth didn't answer, but helped him to his feet, their hands on his upper arms. "Don't all answer at once then." Leo grumbled.

"Walk. Now." Annabeth instructed. Leo held his hands up in surrender, bottle in his right.

"Going." He stepped over the sick puddle and started up the hill. He was aware of Annabeth drawing her dagger. "What is going on?" He asked again.

Annabeth put a finger to her lips before making a shooing motion with the same hand. Leo continued walking in silence.

There was a deafening crash from behind them. Leo faltered and looked back. Percy didn't look happy, his eyes flicking in annoyance at Annabeth.

"My car just got wrecked."

"Very sorry."

"No you're not. Walk, Leo." They picked up the pace and carried on in silence. "It was blue as well." Annabeth simply pointed her dagger warningly at Percy. That shut him up.

"What was that?" Leo asked.

"Not sure. Something bad." Annabeth sounded annoyed, like she did when she was frustrated or didn't know something. Leo looked back and saw the silhouette of one of the strangest creatures ever…

It had the head of a frog, with wolf fangs as sharp and as deadly as an eagle's talons. Its eyes bulged in its head, rotating and scanning everything with a 360 view of everything. Its body was that of a muscular male, its arms and legs those of a white tiger. Its tail was the neck and head of a hydra. It was at least ten feet tall. In its right hand was a spear roughly fifteen feet long, the triangular shaped head as big as Leo's forearm and gleaming in the setting sun as a venomous green.

I know that's copied and pasted from another chap- I'm lazy! :D

Leo staggered, feeling on the urge of being sick.

"Leo?"

"That… that was in…" He tangled his fingers in his hair, trying to keep his breathing steady.

"One of your dreams?" Annabeth suggested. Leo nodded. The monster sniffed at something on the ground. With a pang, Leo knew what it was.

His sick.

His first thought on the ADHD side of his brain- Eww…

The rest of his mind was screaming at him to run.

Thankfully, Annabeth still had control of her voice and urged the boys into a run. The monster scrambled up the hill after them.

It was covering ground quickly, running on all fours. They were already forcing all they had into running for Thalia's tree.

They would never get there in time…
