"KILL! DIE! KILL!"

A phase commonly used by Gleeson Hedge but it was never used in this way before.

Calypso held onto Leo tightly.

"Leo, who is this goat?" She whispered.

Leo studied the Coach. It had been several years since Leo had even thought about his life on the Argo 2 and the prophecy of seven. He had forgotten about all of the Gods besides Nemesis and his dad.

"I...I don't know who this is." Leo muttered.

Rage filled the Coach. He went red with anger and he began to shake. The Coach raised his baseball bat and got ready to swing it.

"You snot nosed little brat! I don't care if the others want to beat the living daylights out of you; I'm going to do it instead." He paused and smiled darkly, "I never thought I'd kill a demigod. Well there's a first for everything."

Suddenly everything came back to Leo in an instant. His repressed memories resurfaced.

"Come on Coach, I think you've scared him enough." A new voice said.

Leo turned and saw a boy with bright yellow hair and a camp T-shirt on. The boy had dark circles under his eyes and his skin was pale. The boy slouched as he walked towards them, he forcefully flicked their foreheads. Leo began to splutter and Calypso broke out in hives.

"Enjoy having the plague." The blonde haired boy laughed.

Leo doubled over and wretched. The blonde haired boy pulled Leo's head up by pulling on his hair.

"Not that there will be a next time, but before you run off with a girl it'd be nice to know that you're not dead."

"I...I don't even know you." Leo said weakly clutching onto his stomach.

Nico dropped the supplies that were in his hands. He froze with fear and with shock.

"Will, what are you doing?" He said slowly as if that would make it stop.

"I'm giving these two the plague what does it look like?"

Nico slowly approached Will as if he was crazed wild animal. He looked at the boy that Will was holding. Leo looked up at Nico with sad eyes.

"You died." Nico gasped, "Hazel and I, we felt you die!"

"Well it looks like I'm going to die now instead."

"Will reverse this! You need to stop this."

"But he just left you, he ran off with that girl. You thought he died." Will clutched his head and grumbled, "he needs to be eradicated."

Nico to glared at Will, he was afraid of the boy in front of him. It was obvious that this was another one of his rampages but there was something different this time. Will had never been this violent before.

"Will," Nico said calmly, "just reverse the effect of the plague and leave them. They did nothing to you. You don't need to kill them."

"He hurt you. You said that you thought he was dead. He didn't even come back! He is the definition of disgusting." Will snarled.

Nico gently touched Will's arms in attempt to bring him back from the depths of his mind, but he didn't win. Will slapped Nico's hand away and glared at him as if he wanted to kill him as well.

Will released Leo and reversed the effects of the plague on the two. He raised his fist at Nico then walked away from the group. Nico took a deep shaky breath. He then turned to the coach.

"Why didn't you stop him? How many times does he need to go on psychotic rages before he is stopped?"

The coach said nothing, he looked over to Leo who was helping Calypso.

"Who was that? Why did he do that to us?" Leo muttered.

"A year ago, Will was captured by a creature known as 'Aka Manah' from Zoroastrianism. It tortured him for six months. He suffers from flashbacks and sometimes he acts them out."

"What can you do?"

Nico shrugged, "There is nothing you can do for someone who won't talk."

Will returned to the group. He said nothing and avoided all eye contact as he mounted the Pegasus.

"This quest is over. Lets go!" He ordered.

"Will, we just left Camp." The Coach said softly.

"Do you think I care? We are leaving now."

Nico turned to Leo and Calypso. He didn't know what to feel towards them. Leo shouldn't have caused his friends the pain of thinking that he was dead. But Nico knew the extent of Wills rage and he knew how scary it could be to be so close to death that you just want it. Nico looked into their worry filled eyes.

"Do you want to come with us, back to camp?" Nico muttered.

"Its been too long for us to go back." Leo said.

Nico nodded. He mounted the Pegasus and they left the two to be free of the hardships that being a demigod brought.
