AND NOW...

Leo III

No! How could happen? Leo had only a couple more minutes before this day got bloodier. What the heck happened here? Thought Leo as he looked at Annabeth's room, the very same room where Thalia had been in charge of watching Vitruvius, their roman "friend". There was blood stained on the walls and Leo hoped that it wasn't Thalia's.

He also noticed Coach Hedge's hat lying on the ground next to Annabeth's mirror. And over on the mirror, written in black, where two simple words. Good. Night.

At that very moment, everyone else rushed into the room with their swords drawn, prepared for a battle.

Jason looked baffled as he took a look at the room. So much had happened in one day, and Leo wasn't ready to lose another life.

"W-what happened here?" said Jason, looking towards Leo.

Leo didn't respond and just kept staring at Coach Hedge's cap. It was the last belonging the satyr had left behind.

Jason turned him to face him and grasped his shoulders.

"Leo! What happened here?" Jason repeated.

Leo shook his head and blinked several times as if he was coming out of a daze.

"I-I don't know. There was some yelling and then I came here as fast as I could, but they had already gone. I think its Thalia because, well, look." Said Leo, pointing to the mirror.

Everyone looked at the mirror. Hazel gasped and Piper put a hand on Jason's shoulder. His chest was heaving and his face was beaded with sweat although Leo couldn't understand why. Jason looked enraged.

"I should've seen it coming! She was just acting so…different lately, it should have been obvious, but why would she take the architect away?" said Jason, pacing the room like a detective.

"I don't know. Maybe she was angry about Coach Hedge and all…she thought she would get her revenge like this" Said Leo.

"But this isn't right!" exclaimed Piper, stepping into the conversation. All of the others remained quiet. "You can't just kidnap someone like that and…and….but where did she take him?"

Leo had no clue himself. "Like I said, I heard yelling and I came here. I didn't see her take off or anythi-" Leo stopped midway. Wait! How had Thalia exited the ship when they were in the air? That was impossible because she hated flying. That's it! Leo hadn't been flying the ship at that time, so could it be possible that she stopped the ship and lowered the ladder? Only one person/thing would know. And that was Festus. Leo's dragon head friend.

Leo ignored all the questions being thrown at him and ran to the deck of the ship. He needed to ask Festus if he had seen anything.

He ran through hallways, corridors, stairs, and even a sock on the ground to get to the deck and once he did, he blurted out the story to Festus and asked him if he had seen anything.

The ship was definitely stopped, so Leo was probably right.

Festus's Morse code communication proved right.

Leo could make out what the dragon said clearly: "Into the forest"

The forest? What forest? Oh yeah, probably the one they were parked right under! Leo hadn't taken the time to notice before as he had been running like a madman, but now he took a look around himself.

They were indeed in a forest with pines, oaks, and Cedar trees. The sun had finally set and Leo was exasperated. But this new clue washed his tiredness away. There was something definitely wrong with the forest. It was just too quite! There was no sound at all and a thick fog covered the area.

He turned around to find the rest of the group staring at him. Frank had just stepped onto the deck and fell on the floor, as he tripped over some oil. It would have been a good prank or a YouTube hit but Leo didn't have the time to think about that.

"Uh, Listen guys" said Leo, trying not to sound freaked out…because he was, "According to Festus, Thalia took Vitruvius with her into this forest, but I mean, just look at the forest, doesn't something look…oh I don't know, odd? to you?"

Apparently, Jason thought otherwise. "The forest looks like any other forest, Leo." Then he began to walk back below deck. "Leo, sail us down, the rest of you, get ready, we're going down there in 10 Minutes, and I DON'T CARE what we have to go through" Jason looked as if he had aged 40 years ahead.

After Jason left, everyone stared at each other in stunned silence.

"Well, you heard him. Let's go kill ourselves!" said Nico, also heading below deck, even though he didn't look happy. Everyone else followed Nico downstairs.

This was an awesome, awesome, awesome day. You know why? Because it would never end! First they had to raid the Parthenon, and then get the goat killed, and now, when they deserved a good rest, they had another mission. And what was that mission? To go and stop Thalia from murdering a guy.

It was pointless and Leo couldn't see why everyone was even going down there. IT WAS A TRAP! Oh well, he thought, at least the funny guy dies last…

After about 10 minutes later, they all met outside, at the base of the Argo II, huddled in a circle to discuss the plan. They all wore Greek and Roman armor and looked like they could faint from exhaustion any second.

"Alright so we stay as a group and-"began Jason but then he was cut off by a loud scream coming from the forest. It was Thalia's voice, and she sounded scared. Leo had never seen that girl scared…whatever was in that forest…was not good.

They all looked at each other. They could all see that it was a trap right? That couldn't possibly be Thalia's voice right? Unfortunately, not all of them were as bright as Leo.

"GO,GO,GO, quickly! She's in trouble. Follow me" said Jason as he took off towards the forest.

Oh gods, why was he being so rash today? Why was everyone being so rash today? Was it "be stupid and get yourself killed" day? Leo didn't approve of that holiday.

They all took off, following Jason into the woods. They all had their weapons out and were preparing for the worst.

Let's just say that Leo wasn't the most athletic in the group. Probably the most awesome, but not athletic because as he was running with the group, he began to slow down and fell on a branch that had fallen.

The fall wasn't so hard but when he got up again, he couldn't see anyone through all the fog. He heard rustling off to his east and began to run in that direction, but then he heard shouting from the west and ran in that direction as well. And soon, he found himself lost and practically blind in the forest.

At this point, Leo was freaking out. He didn't want to get lost and die. He was too smart for that! But then again, good people die young right? Maybe not…

After what seemed like 50 minutes of walking/running and about 20 kilometers traveled, Leo had to stop. He turned around to find a branch on the ground with a footprint beside it. He stomped it his foot in frustration. He was back where he started! He had just been traveling in circles!

He was about to yell out his friends names when he heard…crying? Ok, that freaked him out even more but it also gave him some hope. At least he wasn't alone…

The crying was coming from behind him near a large bush that seemed to have been growing for a very long time.

Slowly, very slowly, he crept towards the bush, holding into his tool belt. If he had too, Leo would whack someone with a screwdriver, and he wasn't afraid to use it.

He lunged towards the bush and yelled: "AAAAAH" like a Tarzan.

When he saw what was behind the bush he felt kind of stupid…and ashamed. Crying behind the bush, with hands over her face was a little girl! She seemed to be no more than 6 and had grime all over her face. He could see that she had brown eyes and was wearing a white dress.

She kept murmuring: "They're here. They're looking for it. They are near!" Which scared Leo even more. Who was here and what where they looking for? And they were near? Leo hoped that "they" were a rescue team because he wanted to get out of here.

He decided that he just couldn't leave the poor girl like this all alone. She wasn't a mortal, he knew that definitely because she had some sort of aura around her, and maybe she had seen Thalia.

"Listen, uh, girl person, what's your name? I can help you! Did you see a big scary girl around here?" said Leo, but the girl still had a hand over her face and she wouldn't stop ranting on and on.

He tried to make funny faces and tried to comfort her but it was no use. And then…

Leo was about to take the girls hand and help her get out of the forest when the hairs on his neck stood up. He felt Goosebumps all over his arms and could swear that he saw the mist getting thicker.

The girl began to laugh, but when she did, her voice was not one, but hundreds talking at once! Some had higher pitches than others. It was like a demon talking…

"They are here! No one is safe. Not even…" said the girl. Then she finally took her hand off of her face and Leo yelped! The girl…if it even was a girl, had long fangs and her eyes began to spin wildly so that they looked all white. There was blood coming from her mouth and her hair was floating upwards. She opened her mouth and screamed. Her scream sounded like a million chalkboards being scratched.

Leo was instantly thrown backwards and slammed into a tree. He summoned his fire to shoot the girl, but something stopped him. This girl couldn't have been evil. It just wasn't her. She had been fine a couple seconds ago until Leo felt another presence. Then it hit Leo. She's being possessed! It was probably dirt face Gaea playing with Leo, but Leo also knew that once you are possessed, your soul burns out until the demon takes over. The girl was no longer alive.

But could Leo just kill the girl? Was it the right thing to do? Leo didn't have much time because the girl began crawling towards Leo.

Leo gulped and then did what he never expected to do in his life. He projected his fire towards the girl, and in an instant, she was dissolved into ashes. Leo couldn't see much through the fog but he thought he saw a black mist floating into the sky and then dispersing.

Leo's face was beaded with sweat and he realized that he was panting. Probably from all the horror he had faced. But he had no time to think about his losses. He had to find the rest of the group before…well we don't want to know what would happen.

Leo kept his fire on so that he could see his way and soon, after about 15 minutes, he found himself in a clearing and then he gasped.

Right in front of him, as the fog was dispersing; he could see a figure that was none other than Thalia, with her sword pulled out towards Vitruvius's neck! She was going to kill him and he only had a couple of seconds before she did.

He ran towards her.

"NOOO!" he yelled, which was just enough to get her attention. She stared at him and then looked around. Leo noticed his other friends emerging from the fog, all panting as if they were running from something. Maybe another demon? Leo seriously did not want to find out.

Thalia's face turned dark and grim. "Stay out of this Valdez!" she barked, "This is between me and him!"

She tightened her grip on her sword.

Leo was brave enough to reply. "NO Thalia! You think it's only between you and him? Well how about us, Thalia? How about all of us here today? I'm the one who caused his death and yet I'm still here! Not trying to kill someone! Why are we doing this for people who don't even help us at all? You're going to make things worse!" Leo blabbered.

He saw Jason creeping behind Thalia to ambush her. Leo only needed to stall her for a little while more before Jason could be able to stop her.

"N-no you're wrong!" said Thalia, tears falling down her face. "You think you have it hard? When I first came to camp, I knew no one! He was the one who helped me get myself together! He helped me fight and train, LEO! I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him…and yet, this man had to kill him! Why? Is that fair?"

"No, it's not." Said Leo, Jason was just a few feet away. "What did Coach Hedge say? EARN IT! Is this how you're going to respect him?"

"I-" began Thalia but she was cut off when Jason tackled her and shoved her away from Vitruvius. However she was stronger and more experienced. She kicked Jason in the face and got back to her feet.

Blood trickled down Jason's face, but he didn't give up either. They both fought until Grover played his reed pipes and held Thalia down.

Then, the unexpected happened.

Vitruvius pulled out a rag and wiped the blood off Jasons face! Then he began laughing.

"Blood!" He shouted. Leo hoped he wasn't a vampire from twilight.

"A blood of the three! One more demigod needed, and then Gaea shall awaken!" he said, "You fools! You have fallen right into the goddesses plan!"

The ground opened below him and he fell down into who knows where? He had won. And they had all fallen into another one of Gaea's traps.

They all stood there, shocked, confused, and then Leo realized what had happened. Jason had mentioned something about blood spilling and Gaea awakening. Was it possible that Gaea needed the blood of the big three to wake up? That sounded pretty dumb but still…

Well she needed two different demigods. They had already gotten one, how long until Gaea finally had the blood of two demigods? This was NOT good.

Thalia fainted and Jason caught her. He looked up at Leo.

"We can follow our footprints to find a way back. Let's go...quickly!" said Jason as he carried his older sister.

And so he (with all his friends) walked back to the Argo II, thinking how he and his friends had failed again.

Once Leo had arrived back on the Argo II, he ran to his washroom and washed his face thoroughly and cleaned himself. He needed to get all the blood of the people he killed off of him.

Everything seemed blurry around him and he thought that it was probably because the fact that he was

Dizzy

So tired that he would even sleep in the forest

Once he exited his bathroom and was putting on a shirt he froze in his tracks. Right in front of him was the girl he had killed! He screamed for help and summoned the fire, but the girl just smiled and began to fade.

When Jason entered the room the girl disappeared, Leo told him what had happened and how the girl had appeared right in front of him. He even pointed to where he had seen her. He was tired and couldn't see well from his weary eyes because he hadn't realized this before. Then he gasped as he understood what had happened.

"Uuuh Leo? That is a mirror… whatever you saw was from behind" said Jason.

WHOA, SO she was behind him the whole time? Not really a cliff hanger, I think. It just means that the girl was never dead so we may see her at some point in the future, NOTHING will happen to Leo or anyone else related to the girl... Anyway, thanks for reading. Please review if you found any mistakes or anything else! Next POV is from Annabeth. This is probably the last "horror" chapter I'll write...even though it wasn't that "horrific". Anyways, that's all I have to say.

SO UNTIL NEXT TIME GOODBYE! :D

...and remember to follow :)
