Annabeth's P.O.V

Guilt coiled deep in Annabeth's stomach.

"Leo, I'm so sorry." She whispered, ignoring the blow apologizing gave to her pride.

He looked up from the back of his hand and gave her a swift half smile, shrugging one shoulder. "It's okay. You didn't know."

Annabeth leaned closer to see the scar on his hand.

It wasn't all that long, but it was noticeable, standing out white against his tan skin. He turned his hand over so Annabeth could see the scar on his palm, where the tip of the knife had exited. The little snake of guilt reared its ugly head and Annabeth bowed her head, trying to keep tears back. She felt Percy lay a hand on her shoulder, his thumb rubbing up and down, trying to soothe. She took a deep breath and lifted her head, giving Leo a smile and again whispering "I'm sorry." Leo grinned at her and whispered back "It's okay."

The next memory began.

(I feel like I'm not doing enough actual dialogue. Does anyone else feel that way? Review and tell me!)

Anni and Leo were sitting in front of Mr. Jacobs's desk, both with a mixture of defiance and fear written all over their faces. Mr. Jacobs was sitting at the desk, both hands folded on the desk, glaring at the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I simply don't believe you. Ms. Brewer is a very kind woman and I've never seen her scold a child, much less beat them or threaten them with death." He said sternly.

"You're only saying that because you've got a crush on her!" Anni yelled, arms crossed and scowling. Mr. Jacobs's eye twitched.

"Keep your nose out of grown-up affairs, Annaliese." He said with a condescending smile.

"It's Anni!" she snapped. 'And you're not denying it!"

The smile faded.

"You're not!" yelled Leo, defending his friend. His hand was still wrapped in an Ace bandage. He was glaring at Mr. Jacobs. "Miss Teresa was awful!"

"Shut it, both of you. Not another word against Ms. Brewer, do you understand me?" Mr. Jacobs snapped. "I was going to put you both back in her custody, but I think the best thing for you would be a better school. Perhaps Fisher Prep?"

Both Leo and Anni shot each other confused looks.

"Yes." Said Mr. Jacobs, smiling now. "I think Fisher Prep would straighten you two out. No more of this running-away nonsense. If you wanted attention, children, all you had to do was be good."

He became the instant recipient of two death glares.

The others in the ship were death glaring him too. Matthew Jacobs had just been added to the newly created Hit List of the Seven.

Mr. Jacobs pulled Leo's file towards him. "Leo, you will be staying with Mr. and Mrs. Cooper. Annaliese" he cut off Anni's protest with a raised hand, "you will be staying with Mr. and Mrs. Delancey. You will both be attending Fisher Prep. Is that clear?"

Both kids were slumped in their chairs, glaring at him. Mr. Jacobs gave a brisk nod.

"Very good."

(Fisher Prep is not a real school. I just made it up.)

Everyone's P.O.V

"If those people did something to you, Leo, I swear, we will forget about Gaea and go kick some butt." Frank muttered. Leo shot a grin his way.

"Don't worry about it, Zhang. The Cooper's were fine, just…distant I guess. They had four kids of their own, and they tried their best, but the kids weren't exactly happy that I was there. I was honestly fine. I didn't run away from their place so I rate it as a success."

He grinned at them again, his smile slowly fading when he realized everyone was looking at him with shocked expressions. "Um… are you guys okay?"

Piper answered, her voice trembling. "No, we are not okay."

She leaned forward and hugged him hard.

"You shouldn't have had to live through all of that, we shouldn't be here watching it and judging you for stuff you had to do, oh Leo, I'm so sorry…"

Leo looked slightly uncomfortable. He gently patted Pipers back.

"I'm fine, Beauty Queen. I lived." He said gently, before a mischievous grin crept across his face. "Besides, I picked up some skills on the streets."

Piper pulled away, sniffling. "Like what?"

Leo's grin grew bigger. "I bet I can hold my liquor better than all y'all!" He said with a Texas accent.

The demigods all laughed, then slowly quieted when he didn't join in.

Hazel frowned. "Wait, you weren't serious, were you?"

Leo gave them all a mysterious smile as the next memory began.

I am aware that this chapter was short, but that's all I got, I have to finish Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! For the fifth time! It's soooo good!

Love you guys!
