Hey guys and gals! So I haven't done a disclaimer in a while (oops!). SO, Rick Riordan owns all characters( Besides Leila) and all other stuff. Reyna's chapter is actually going to happen later because I had an idea that correlates with one that happens later in the story. So, I could do one, but it would just be a lot of nonsense that doesn't make any sense and it would just be really bad. So, we're going to skip her and go straight to Leo.

Percabeth: 7

Jasper: 4 GO VOTE, GUYS(:

Let's get into Leo nonsense. YAY!

Leo

The ship was falling. He couldn't control anything. Gaea's face began to appear everywhere. He was duct taped all over and his mouth was in a gag. He couldn't move an inch. He just watched helplessly as his friends were thrown overboard one by one.

He couldn't help but think this was his entire fault. He should've been able to save them. He should've been able to stop Gaea.

Coach Hedge was being thrown overboard. He yelled at them to stop, but it was muffled. Gaea's minions paid him no attention. Then went Frank. Then Jason. He could feel his heart pound and his tear ducts start to sting. His best friend in the entire world was just thrown overboard. And he couldn't do anything about it. Then they started to throw Piper off, but she struggled. They finally got her to the edge, but she stopped. She turned her head to face Leo and smiled. But, her face started to morph. Her hair started to get lighter and her eyes started to glow silver. Soon, he was looking eye to eye with Anna-

Leo sat up. His heart was pounding and his forehead was beaded with sweat. He groped for the light switch and turned it one, illuminating his messy room. There were stray parts and unfinished projects all over the place, but there was a clear path to the bed and that's all Leo cared about. Leo shook it off as much as he could and got out of bed. It had to be close to morning. That was his third nightmare so far that involved Annabeth and Leo didn't know if he could take much more.

It actually kind of surprised Leo how much her death had affected him. It's not like they were close. Sure, they worked on the Argo a lot together, but she was really distant. Leo knew she was really worried about Percy and was focusing on finding him, so he didn't push her for conversation. They often worked in silence. They worked well together and they got stuff done, but it still felt like they had just met.

Leo shrugged off the thought. He told himself he wouldn't think about it anymore. That he would put it behind him. But, he also vowed to himself that whoever did this to her was going to get a nice dent in the head from his hammer.

Leo got dressed and walked to the deck. It was early morning and the only one up was Piper.

"Morning Beauty Queen," Leo yawned. Piper jumped.

"Oh, it's just you," Piper said. She sounded extremely relieved.

"Just me? Expecting someone else?" Leo queried.

"N-no," Piper stuttered. "You just scared me, that's all."

"You've been pretty jumpy lately," Leo accused.

"The quest is just…" She didn't finish the statement.

"Uh-huh," Leo teased while walking to the control room.

"Wait, Leo," Piper called. Leo stopped in his tracks and looked back. She looked like she was considering something. Leo noticed how drained she looked. She was as white as a sheet.

"Are you all right, Piper? You look like you've seen a ghost," Leo mused. Piper was silent for something and then a smile broke out.

"Sort of. Can you keep a secret?" She asked, becoming super serious at the question. Leo set his face in stone and lowered his voice.

"Yes, Piper. I can keep a secret." Piper didn't laugh.

"Leo, I'm serious. Come here," Piper led Leo into the control room, shut the door and locked it.

"I need to tell you something, something important," Piper said, her eyes darting all over the place.

"What? Piper did you murder somebody for lip gloss again?" Piper smacked him upside the head. Leo shut up and waited for her to say it. She kept opening her mouth and closing it, but never uttered a sound.

"Piper, just spit it."

"Annabeth's not dead," She blurted. Leo dropped the gears he was absentmindedly messing with.

"What?" Leo demanded. Piper now had his full attention.

"Well, she is but she isn't. It's like-" Leo interrupted her.

"How long have you known this?" Leo demanded.

"For like five days."

"Five days?" Leo squeaked. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"Because Annabeth isn't exactly…stable." Piper struggled for the word.

"What do you mean- wait, how do you even know this?"

"Because we can kind of hear each other's thoughts and see everything each other sees and stuff, but that isn't important," Piper said.

"Oh, really then what is?" Leo asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Piper smacked him again.

"Well there are two things."

"Only two?"

"Leo, shut up and be serious! This why I didn't want any of you to know."

"What do you mean 'didn't want us to know'?"

"Annabeth wants you to, but I don't."

"So, do you have, like, Multiple Personality Disorder or something now?" Leo asked. Piper smacked him again.

"Sorry. Continue."

"Well, I can think and feel everything she does and like I said she isn't exactly stable, so if I start to act weird then I need you to cover for me."

"Why me?"

"Because you're weird, too, so maybe they'll just shrug it off."

"Yeah, I guess so- wait, hey! That's not nice!"

"The second thing is that you can't think about her."

It took Leo a minute to digest this in his brain. "Wait, what?"

"Well, she gets like hallucinations and stuff if you think about her, so just don't think about her," Piper told him while shrugging.

"Oh! So, by saying she was unstable, you meant she was crazy?"

Piper rolled her eyes. "Focus Leo!"

"So, she can like hear our conversation right now?"

"Yes."

"What's she saying right now?" Leo asked.

"She's wondering why the hell I would tell you out of all the people on the boat," Piper said blatantly.

"Why did you tell me?"

"Because I can't exactly tell Percy, right now…"

"So? Why didn't you tell your boyfriend?"

"Because Annabeth said to tell you and only you."

"Why can't you tell anyone else?
"Because I don't want to make Annabeth upset. And you definitely don't want her to be upset," Piper said with an uneasy voice. Her face turned to the expression that she gets that Leo now associates with her and Annabeth having a secret Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, or something like that, moment.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"We'll finish this discussion later," Piper said as she walked over to the door and opened it. IT was Jason.

"Hey, breakfast is ready…" He said, looking a bit weirded out that he and Piper were both in here with the door locked. Don't worry, buddy. I'm with you, too. Leo thought. But, if Piper was feeling uncomfortable as well, she didn't show it. She just took Jason's hand and led him away, talking about Care bears or hair spray or whatever it is Beauty Queens talked about.

Leo started to bang his head against the wall. Why did the weird stuff always involved him?

Suddenly, Leo started to tip to the right. Slowly, he realized that the ship was tipping to the right. Then, it felt as if all the air in the ship had the urge to suddenly go upward. Leo was forced to kneel down on the ground to steady himself. His heart felt like it was in his throat and his stomach was working its way up there.

The ship was falling.

Yay, SUSPENSE(: FYI, I wasn't planning on this, it just kind of sprouted out of my fingertips. I felt like they were just kind of sitting on the ship playing Uno while Percy was down in the Underworld kicking ass and Annabeth and Piper were being all…whatever they are, the others needed to do something. Also, this is the start of my new plot thingy, so I'm super excited. I hope you guys like it! I'm super-duper, calafragalistically happy right now. All right. I forgot I was going to my Aunt's for Black Friday shopping and I may or may not be getting my permit on Friday (Eeek!) , and Thanksgiving dinner is starting early this year, so you guys may or may not be getting a chapter until Friday night. It really just depends on how everything plays out. Hopefully I can get one done by tomorrow morning, but if not, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And VOTE!
