Leo POV
When the meeting dismissed, Leo talked to Frank. And beauty queen was right. Leo and him did get along really well. They had a lot in common. Except Frank hates fire, kinda cause his life depends on a stick. Leo thought that was pretty weird, but hey; Frank thought it was weird that Leo can create fire. Every demigod has their quirks. Anyway they probably talked for hours before they had to go to the campfire.
"What is this campfire anyway?" Frank asked. Leo remembered this is his first time at Camp Half-Blood.
"Oh well, the whole camp gets together and we talk about whatever the 'Pressing Matter' is. And sometimes we get a new prophecy. It's kinda creepy. This redhead started to breathe out green gas and says a really confusing poem. Oh, yeah; they're usually not good." Frank nodded.
"Wow." He replied. "At Camp Jupiter, we aren't that close. We never have a big meeting like that. If we do it's in a building and full of ghosts." Leo remembered when he had to go to the meeting when it was decided Percy and Jason will duel. Then he saw a familiar streak of brown hair tied in a bandanna. She was wearing a tank top and jeans.
"Hey sis!" Leo yelled. The girl turned. She had dark green eyes that matched beautifully with her dark hair. She was like the Disney Princess Belle and a female action film hero. She gave him a smile.
"Hey Leo!" She gave him a small hug. She looked at Frank with intrigued eyes. "Who's this?" She asked.
"Frank." Leo answered. "Son of Ares- er, uh Mars."
"Nyssa. Daughter of Hephaestus." She gave him a polite nod and stuck her arm out. Frank looked at it confused. "Shake it." Leo instructed. Frank shook it hard and high. She pulled her hand away awkwardly.
"So, um, see you guys at the campfire." She gave Leo a look saying I'm confused and ran off. Frank stared as she ran.
"Dude, what was that?" Leo asked. Frank sighed. "Do you Romans ever shake hands?"
"Not too much." Frank said. He had a strange look on his face, the same look when Leo looks at Hazel.
"Aw man…you have a girlfriend!" Leo said. Frank shook his head.
"I can't explain it. Hazel has been drifting from me. It's weird. A few days ago we were so close, but now, I don't know." Leo nodded. Leo knew.
"Let's just get to the camp fire." Leo said. Frank agreed and they ran together. When they finally got there most of the camp was already waiting. Frank sat next to Hazel and while Leo sat next to Piper and Jason. Jason had a distracted look on his face; almost upset. Piper had more of an in shock look, like she's seen a ghost. "What did I miss?" Leo said while crouching down next to Piper.
"Nothing. The meeting hasn't even started." She seemed distracted. Like something was bothering her. Chiron stood by the fire with Rachel by his side. Chiron cleared his throat.
"Tomorrow morning, the destined seven will continue their journey to Rome." Chiron announced.
"Good riddance." Drew snickered from the Aphrodite cabin. All group of girls snickered. Piper had an irritated look on her face now. Chiron shot the girls a look, and they shut up pretty quick.
"Anyway, we need to introduce two fellow Romans that are part of the seven. Frank and Hazel please stand." They did as they were told. "Frank, Son of Ares." A roar of applause traveled toward Frank. He blushed. "Hazel, Daughter of Pluto." A slow cheer erupted. There was more murmuring. He could make out the words: Nico, The Big Three, and Death. Then Rachel stood straighter. Her eyes glowed green and green gas escaped from her mouth and nose. Percy and Annabeth ran to help her. Then she spoke.
"Beware the one that talks well.
Oceans, stick, fire, and storm,
Will be taken under a spell.
Beware that the Earth takes a new form.
In the end it comes to one,
A single choice.
The deed is done."
Then Rachel collapsed. Percy and Annabeth caught her. Her red hair was messily tied in a bun. She had on a camp shirt, and a pair of white overalls that she uses for painting. Percy held her while she took deep breathes. This happened every time she gave a prophecy. Annabeth rubbed her arm trying to calm her down. At first no one talked. Then whispers started to corrupt, then it turned to talking, and eventually yelling.
"Silence!" Chiron yelled. The shouting stopped instantly. "The seven have a long day tomorrow. The campfire is over. Everyone get to bed." The campers scattered into groups and walked away. When everyone left Piper, Jason, and Leo stayed. They sat on a log together.
"You know; it's nice for it to be the three of us alone." Piper admitted. "Don't get me wrong, the others are great! It's just…"
"Feels like old times." Leo completed. Piper nodded.
"We've been through so much together." Jason said. His face looked like he was reflecting on the past.
"We've been through everything together." Piper said. Her voice was filled with complete honesty. Jason and Leo nodded. Piper was in the middle. Leo gave Jason a mischievous look. Jason understood and nodded. Leo put three fingers up and began to count down one finger at a time. At zero Leo and Jason pushed into each other squeezing her in the middle. She let out a loud giggle. "What are you guys in kindergarten?" Piper asked. They all laughed together. They were like a family.
So yeah! I know I've been talking a lot about family throughout the book, but that is how I like to picture them. And I know I'm not the oracle. My prophecy maybe wasn't the best. Lol. I hope you guys enjoyed. Please review!
