Thanks for all the views and favorites! You have inspired me to post another chapter! Please review, I wanna know what you think of my story.
Leo's POV
Chapter 4: Awake and Alive
I honestly couldn't remember anything about the previous day for about 15 peaceful seconds. Then it came crashing back to me. The hellhounds, my shoulder, Anneira. Anneira! Where was she? Was she okay? A million questions raced through my mind. I desperately thought back to the previous day.
The last thing I remember was a searing pain in my shoulder and Anneira taking my hand before we both passed out. My hand tingled with the memory of hers. She had to be okay. I forced my eyes open.
The sun was blindingly bright. Once my eyes got used to it, I realized that I was in the infirmary. Shocker. I looked around me. A couple of Apollo medics rushed around, tending to minor injuries. One of them, Will I think, came over to me. He said a lot of things about over working myself, and bites, and injuries, but I just stared at him. Finally I figured he probably didn't know what I really wanted to know.
"Wheres Anneira?" I finally managed to ask. "Oh she's fine! She just fainted out of shock." I exhaled in relief. She was fine, and then Ha, she fainted, she is never going to hear the end of that! "You can go now, but take the day off." Will said.
Once I got outside, I realized I didn't really have anywhere to go. Since I was under orders to "Take the day off!" I couldn't exactly go to the forge and work with my cabin. I suppose I could have gone to bunker 9, but I decided to find Anneira.
As I walked through the camp, I tried to convince myself that I only wanted to see her to tease her about fainting, not because I just wanted to see her. Anneira had always been pretty, even to 11 year old Leo, but when I saw her in the office, I had to resist the urge to stare gaping at her. Her black hair had gotten longer, and although she was just as pale, I made her eyes all the more stunning. Sure, her blonde friend had been kinda pretty, but Anneira was beautiful in a dangerous way. She reminded me of a much nicer Khione. Just as cold and beautiful as the snow goddess. Hell, she could even manipulate ice!
I found her talking to Chiron on the porch of the Big House. As I got closer, I started listening to their conversation.
"It's very strange that you would just be found now, when you should have been brought to camp when you were 13." Chiron mused. Anneira frowned, "Actually, when I was 13, I think I was at an English boarding school."
"Maybe she's like Me and Piper, a god didn't want us to be claimed until the right time." I suggested. Anneira frowned for a moment, but quickly changed her face to an emotionless mask. "Maybe," Chiron said, oblivious to Anneira's odd reaction, "but that wouldn't explain why it is taking so long for you to be claimed. Both Leo and Piper were claimed in there first day." There it was again, the frown and then smoothed expression, when Chiron said Piper. I'd have to ask her later.
"Whatever it is, it can be sorted out after dinner." Chiron said as the dinner bell sounded. He galloped ahead of us, and I was left standing with Anneira. "Soooo," I said. Wow, nice awkward intro Leo! "Umm, what happened while I was out ." We started walking to dinner as she told me the about her first day at Camp Halfblood.
Yay! Another one! Sorry, nothing exciting happened in this chapter, but we did learn a little about Leo's feelings for Anneira. So thats always good…..yeah. Read on little ones!
