Hellooo! Thanks for all the reviews I recieved! (Speaking of which, a reviewer mentioned reading about Lamia in the Demigod Diaries, I haven't read it myself, so I looked up Lamia on Wikipedia. So if my description of her doesn't match Rick's I'm very sorry.)I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. I'm kind of new at writing fighting scenes, so try to hold out with me.
For now please enjoy chapter five!
DISCLAIMER:
Me: I own the PJO and HoO series' right Rick?
Rick:No.
Me: Well there you have it -_-
Leo.
This was not good. Not good at all. Leo was now carrying Piper to the infirmary , he'd manadged to stop the worst of the blood flow, but she was in need of some godly food and some nature magic. When he got there he gently placed her on one of the beds and rummaged around the cabinets for some nectar, when he found it, he was careful to only give her a tiny amount to swallow, but he was more generous when he poured it on her wound.
"Coach! Get your furry hindquaters out here now!" Leo yelled. Seconds later Coach Hedge came trampling down the hall swinnging his bat visciously screaming," Die! DIE! DIE!"
"COACH!" Leo yelled and smacked him over the head for good measure.
"What was that all about?" He asked, compeltely forgetting about all the imaginary enimies he had wanted to kill.
"Piper got hurt." That was all he needed to say for Coach Hedge to switch from ninja-goat to nurse-goat. Soon he was standing over Piper, examining her wounds."Valdez, I'm afraid you'll have to leave for this." He said.
"What? Why?" Leo asked, he was not going to leave Piper alone.
"Because I said so. If she looks like this someone else has to be hurt to, so go take care of them while I handle McLean."
"But-"
"Go."
"Fine."
"Stupid smelly old goat." Leo mumbled when he turned and started walking.
"I heard that."
"Stupid smelly old goat with good hearing."
"I heard that too!"
Leo was now pacing the hallway outside the infirmary. He had helpped Nico, carry Jason down to his cabin to rest his head, he had wounds on his arms, which Leo had applied nectar to and bandaged. Leo's main concern now was Piper. He felt like an idiot for letting this happen. He should never have trusted that thing or the wierd voices telling him to trust her. He just hoped Piper would be okay. Just then Coach Hedge came out of the infirmary.
"She lost a lot of blood."
Leo's eyes widened in fear., no this could not happen. His Beauty Queen couldn't just be gone. he refused to think like that. Piper coiln't be dead. She just couldn't.
"But she's resting now." Coach said grinning at the face Leo made.
"Ooh someone's -"
"Just go check on Jason."
Coach left without a word. Leo rushed inside the infirmary, to where Piper was sleeping in the only occupied bed. Leo sat down on the chair next to her, it had been only a cut, but she had cut a little too deep and ended up losing a lot of blood. Because of you, the evil voice of Gaia told him in his head, You are a burden to your friends. You hurt them without realising it. You are a good-for-nothing- "Would you shut up!?" Leo said a little to loudly and Piper stirred in her sleep, but didn't wake. He looked sadly at her now-pale features and gave her a kiss on her forehead whispering,"I'm sorry." He then stood up and left, going to check on Jason to make sure Coach Hedge hadn't killed him yet. He had just closed the door behind him when the deranged goat himself came sprinting/galloping whatever down the hallway.
"Valdez, we've got a problem." He said nearly making roadkill out of Leo.
"Woah. Whats up Coach?"
"It's Jason, your little monster managed to get poison into his system via that scratch on his arm."
"Well can't you do anything? Your the magic nurse-goat!"Leo said not believing that Coach Hedge wouldn't do anything to help Jason.
"I would, but I need supplies. Fortunately I know the exact nature remedy to heal him."
"So you want me to make a stop at the nearest island so you can go pick flowers?"
"Yes."
"Fine."
They were very near the island now. Leo had no idea what this island was, but he had to take a chance it wasn't worth risking their course to Greece to go to a safer island farther away.
"Uh oh. Not good." Leo spun around to find the speaker of those words. It was Piper and she was holding on the mast looking down.
"Whats wrong Beauty Queen?"
"I'm still a little dizzy, that's all." She said, standing up straight and closing her eyes.
"Thanks for coming to the infirmary earlier." She said after an awkward silence.
"Er - you - you were sleeping!How'd you know I was there?" He asked turning bright red.
"You're very loud." She said smirking at him.
"Pfft. Me loud. That's like calling Coach Hedge calm and collected."
"I'm glad I have a friend like you." She said warming him up to his toes.
"Me too. Pipes, did Coach tell you about Jason and the island thing?"
"Yes, Coach told me about them, I wanted to go to Jason but Coach chased me away and I'm a little sceptical about the whole island thing. Do you think it's safe?"
"No, but it's the only thing that's going to help Jason now." He said."I was an idiot to trust her."
"Don't beat yourself up about that, none of us thought that would happen, you were unfortunately the sucker she had chosen and besides we all know you have a weakness for beautiful girls." Oh you have no idea.
"At least I'm alive. I know how much your lives would have sucked without my awesomeness." He said flashing her a grin.
"Oh you wish Valdez."She said, but he knew she was joking.
"I-"
"Creck crick crack."
"Looks like we found the island." Leo said as the ship started descending landing on a strip of white beach, Leo threw the rope ladder over the side of the ship.
"Right Coach! Please exit to your left and-"
"NOOOO!" Came a cry from the jungle, a little way away from the beach, Leo ran to the side of the deck, the others following. A girl ran out of the jungle screaming, caramel hair flying behind her,"Sorry! Wrong Island!" He tried to shout at her, but she quickly jumped on the boat and shouted," There is no time to lose! Take off before we are all dead!" And that pretty much closed the subject, Leo shouted the order at Festus and they were in the sky just as a whole group of monsters appeared on the beach. Leo turned to the girl, Hazel, Frank and Nico had also joined them. "What's going on?" Hazel asked. "That's what I'd like to know too. Leo?" Piper said glaring at him, but for once he didn't actually do anything.
"Sorry to bother you, but we just escaped the murderous clutches of another girl who also just appeared and just so your wondering, you're outnumbered. So please if you'd be so kind to share your name with us, that would be marvelous." Leo said and the girl seemed to be in shock, but she quickly recovered, she had a timeless face that could have been 16 or 30, a big white flower was in her long caramel hair, she was wearing a white Greek chiton. She was probably some sort of nymph. Then she said," I am Calypso."
Dun dun duuun! *Dramatically playing Beethoven's symphony number 5.* Sorry for the cliffy and er- it will probably be updated next saturday... you are allowed to throw stones at me now... but this is how it will be from now on since I'm in a boarding school and only go home on weekends. I'll try to write as many chapters as possible, but you are guaranteed at least one chapter every weekend. Oh and I was wondering if you'd read a one-shot about Leo called "Every teacher's nightmare." Basically about Leo being a rebel in class? Please review, thanks for the support! Bye!
