Leo Pov

I watched Piper sleep deep into the night. She was really cute when she sleeps, inhale through her nose and exhale with a little puff. Wow, I sound like Jason.

I looked at the Australian time. It was sim o'clock and the sun was out. I couldn't believe that I stayed up the whole night… Okay, that was a lie. Last night, after Piper asked if anything weird was happening, I let sleep grab me and lure me into its trap. Then I awoke at around three forty-five AM.

I knew Piper would wake soon, so, I slipped out of the bed and put a shirt on. OH, did I mention, I took my shirt off just before I fell asleep. IT'S SO HOT IN HERE! The air cooler is probably broken, though I could fix it; if I had my tools with me. I wonder where they were.

I went into the kitchen and started to batch up some pancakes. According to my sister -Nyssa- I make the most amazing pancakes ever!

Just as I was slipping the pancakes onto a plate, Piper trotted in, looking like a mess. Her hair was brushed neatly, that's the most girly thing you would ever see Piper do. Brush her hair before she came out of bed.

"Hey, Beauty Queen." I said, trying not to look at her. Gods, it was so hard. "How did you sleep?"

Piper sat down at the table as I handed her the plate of pancakes, letting the golden honey drool down from its opening. "I slept like a new born child." Piper said, brushing her hair out of her face.

She started to dig into her breakfast. After her first bite, she said: "These are amazing, Leo! I know you can cook but this is the best besides your patties!" And she took another bite. I poured some apple juice for her, knowing that apples were her favourite fruit. I took a sip of the juice and gave it to Piper. I know that Piper doesn't care any more if I took a sip out of her drink, but she always did when Jason would. Typical.

"What do you want to do today?" Piper asked, putting her plate in the sink. I hadn't realised that she ate it all.

I looked at my watch again. Wow, it's only been two hours.

"I'm not sure. As long as you are there, I'm fine; unless you want me to go into my pit of doom." I said, making a ghostly noise.

Piper laughed.

"You know I wouldn't want that!" Piper laughed as she started to wash her plate. "I had a dream last night."

"Oh goodie!" I acted like a seven year old. "Please, tell me a story."

"Leo…" Piper's face had a smile, but it was also serious. "My mother, Chiron, Nyssa, Lacy and Will were in it. They found out that we were gone but they thought that it was a quest. They have already searched all over America and looking at Fiji now; Nyssa is really upset… Especially when she found your tool belt."

I put her in my arms, making sure that she knew that I was here. "Its okay, Piper. We'll go back when we're ready."

Piper started to laugh.

"What's so funny?" I asked, loosening my grip around her.

"I'm thinking about the part when Drew started to cry because she couldn't find the straightener."

The rest of the day, we went hiking. I lost my balance a couple of times, Piper fell into the creek that we went to. It was quite romantic. The creek snaked through a rocky path, the sound of water flowing was calm and smoothing, but the rocks were wet and that's why I kept falling.

"Gods, Leo." Piper laughed. "You're worst than me!" I thought about the creek and the water. That's when Piper fell in. She didn't break anything, her back didn't hurt or anything. It was quite funny actually. I forced myself not to laugh, but that didn't happen. I burst into laughing; laughing so hard that I also fell into the creek. We laughed so hard that we forgot about the creek drowning us in its water.

Later that day, around sunset, we walked along the foot path behind the hotel. We had a crazy day today; we still haven't had lunch or dinner.

All I wanted was for Piper was to have a great holiday, though I think she feels a little guilty about leaving and not telling anyone. I feel a little guilty for giving her the idea and not thinking it through.

"Leo," Piper said looking straight ahead.

"Mmm?" I mumbled.

"What are you thinking?" Piper asked, biting her lip.

"I'm just glad that I'm here with you, Pipes." I replied, not really wanting to tell her what I'm thinking about.

"Leo." Piper said annoyed at me. Either she was tired or she really wanted to know.

"I'm thinking about… How things could be if we were more than friends." I said, not knowing that I told the truth. I really was thinking about how life could be if were together. And I don't mean together, I mean together. "What about you?"

"Why Jason hasn't broken up with me yet."

"What?"

"I had a dream…" Piper told me about her dream and hot Aphrodite had said that Jason cheated on her. It really got to Piper. I mean, I love Piper but afterwards, she cried on my shirt.

Night drew in; the darkness of this country isn't really dark at nine-thirty. I carried Piper back to the hotel, one hand under her knees, the other on her back.

Soon after, my heart beat made Piper sleepy, and she softly slept in my arms.

I just hope that she wouldn't remember this night because I don't want her to feel the pain Jason put her through. It wasn't bearable for me. The girl I love, crying over a different guy.

"Leo," Piper murmured in her sleep. "My Leo." Piper smiled as she said my name. I'm glad that she was dreaming about me. It made me all warn and fuzzy inside, a feeling that I would never want to get rid of.

I gently put her on the bed, changing her clothing into her pyjamas, and making sure that I didn't see anything too revealing.

"I love you," I said, covering her with the sheets. I switched on the T.V but watched Piper sleep.

I kissed her forehead and turned the T.V off, letting the light of the show get in her dreams.

I quickly changed into my pyjamas- baggy pants and no shirt. I quickly went under the sheets and put my arm over Piper's shoulder.

"Leo." Piper smiled again. I kissed her cheek and let sleep grab me and pull me into its vision.

Aphrodite and my father were talking Chiron through an Iris Message. Their hands were laced through each other, Aphrodite's nails piercing through my father's skin, making then bleed. He already has enough bandaids on his body already, he doesn't need more.

Chiron looked disappointed, he hasn't found us yet. BOOYEAH! I'm glad; Piper needs as much as she can have.

"Poseidon is in Fiji with Percy, Annabeth and Lacy are in Tahiti and Dionysus is somewhere. I don't know where." Chiron said, looking at a blue sheet of Paper, signed by Percy, Lacy, Annabeth and Poseidon. I know why Poseidon and Percy would go.

"Thank you, Chiron." Aphrodite said. Chiron nodded and waved his hand through the Iris Message. "I really hope we find them."

My father looked stoned. "I can't believe it." My father said. "I thought he was happy there." I wanted to tell him that I was, but nothing came out of my mouth. "I'm really worried about him."

Aphrodite hugged him with one arm. "We will find them," Aphrodite promised him. "We will."

I opened my moth again, and this time, sound came out. "Think hard, dad. Think real hard." My father's eyes widened as I spoke.

"Leo?"

"Oh, crap, you can hear me!" I thought of another name. "Damn it! I'm not Leo Valdez! I'm Jason Grace and if you tell anyone about this I swear I'll tell my father that you tried to kill… A person he really loves."

"Fine." My father grumbled, "But I know that it's you, Leo. I know your voice. Where are you?" He asked.

"Poseidon or Annabeth. Choose."

"Goodbye, boy."

My world rushed before me. I didn't want to lie to my dad but I knew that he would be the one to find me. He will, sooner or later.

Sorry that this chapter is quite short. Anyway, I'm thinking about finishing this story now, not as good as I thought it was going to be. There will be three or four more chapters. R&R! Let's make it up to twelve now.

Thanks for reading and tell me if you have any ideas by reviewing. Thank you

Love Ya!
