Chapter 28

Leo

Way to ruin the moment, Frank, Leo thought pessimistically. We were all excited about getting the ship back in there air, and now we're all quiet.

"Okay, this might be a little of course of some of our major goals," Leo looked over at Hazel quickly, then continued, "but I think we should just head to Greece now."

"But what about-" Hazel started, but Leo cut her off. "Nico, I know. Listen, Hazel, I know you want to look for your brother, and we want to look for him, too, but we have to get to Greece to stop Gaea and close the doors. Plus, they probably took him there, anyway. He's probably in Greece now, with them! And I get some weird feeling that Percy and Annabeth are already there…"

"Really?" Piper asked. "Because I get the feeling they really aren't."

"I have a feeling they're-" Frank mumbled, and Leo shouted, "Don't even SAY IT!"

"EVERYBODY COOL IT!" Piper shouted. "I didn't mean to start something, but Leo, I really don't think they're anywhere near them. We have time."

Leo sighed. Everybody was losing it. He could feel it. This was too stressful. Leo sucked when he was stressed.

"I'm going back to my cabin to work on the Sphere," he said. "After I program auto-pilot to Ioannina. That's the closest place on the map that's not right on it."

"Why don't you just land in Eprius?" Jason asked.

"Dude, Eprius is a palace in Ioannina," Leo replied.

"The Doors of Death are in someone's palace?" Piper asked.

"Well, 'Good luck storming the castle!'" Leo said, laughed to himself, and walked back over the dashboard.

He messed with the Wii remote and finally set the GPS to the right place.

"Um, Leo?" he heard Hazel's voice behind him, and he turned around.

"Yeah?"

"Well…I'm going to guess that was a quote from somewhere," Hazel began, "what you just said, and I was wondering if it was a movie or TV show or something you liked."

"You'd never seen Princess Bride?" Leo asked, kind of shocked. He'd seen that movie when he was a kid, with his mom. That was one of his favorite movies.

"I was dead for a while," Hazel admitted.

"But it's kind of an oldie," Leo replied. "Made in 1987 based off a book written in 1973. Never read the book, though."

"I was born in 1928," Hazel said.

"Oh." Leo was quiet. "It's hard to remember. You look so young!"

Hazel laughed. "Thanks. Anyway, I was wondering if maybe you could show it to me?"

Leo smiled. "I think I have it in my cabin somewhere. Let's see if I can find it."

"It's not a date," Hazel reminded him. "I have a boyfriend."

"It's two friends, watching a movie," Leo reassured her. "Don't worry."

"I'm just going to tell Frank," Hazel said, and she ran off.

Leo waited by the stairs. The deck was empty except for Frank, Hazel, and Leo.

Leo watched Hazel talk to Frank, and he remembered what he'd heard her say about feeling trapped, or held on to too tight.

Leo sighed. He felt bad knowing. He knew he wasn't supposed to know. She'd freak out if she knew he knew.

It's not a date, he thought as Hazel walked back over to him. He followed her down the stairs, and then led her into his room.

Hazel sat on Leo's bed as he looked around his room for the DVD. He was sure he'd brought it with him. He liked to watch it at least once a week.

When he finally found it (it was inside the DVD player) he turned on his TV and started it up.

"Did you like the movie?" Leo asked after it was over.

"The ending was kind of expected," Hazel admitted as Leo turned the TV back off. "And I liked the little boy. The movie was nice, though. I'm glad you showed it to me."

Leo smiled.

"Hey, what time is it?" she asked.

He looked at his watch. It was slightly cracked, but he could still read it. "About 7:30."

"I want to show you something," Hazel said and grabbed his hand.

She dragged him out of his room and back up to the deck.

"I was looking at this stuff on the computer, astronomy and stuff like that, I don't know why, and I found that this was coming up," Hazel told him, and she pointed to the sky.

A beautiful aurora lit the sky above them.

The colors changed and folded, almost as if it was a flag, folding over itself and creating waves within the cloth.

The colors ranged from pale green to dark purple that nearly blended into the sky.

"Oh gods," Leo gasped. "That's beautiful, Hazel."

"I know," she breathed.

Leo continued to look through the sky, when he saw an odd image in the stars.

"Hazel, what constellation is that?" Leo asked, pointing to it.

"Um…" Hazel asked. "Where?"

Leo connected the stars together with his finger. A double face, one smiling, one frowning.

"That's not a constellation, Leo," Hazel said, confused. "At least, not one I've ever seen."

And then, it disappeared. Leo couldn't find it anymore.

"Where'd it go?" Hazel asked.

"No idea."

"Let's go back into the cabins," Hazel suggested, and they took one last look at the aurora above them, then they ran back below deck.

They said their goodbyes, and Leo closed his cabin door and sat down on the bed.

What could that have been?

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUNNN! What's in the sky? Oh gods…;)

Well, hope you enjoyed the chapter!
