Olympus Prophecy (Heroes of Olympus fanfic)

Chapter 3

Normal POV (as in third person)

The oversized, mechanic lizard, or how Destiny saw it, landed with a echoing thud. The ground seem to rumble from the suprise landing. Destiny stared with awe at the shiny dragon. Her reflection shone against the surface of the creature. Along with her younger sister's trembling image. Fear was written all over Juliet's face as she instinctivly reached for her older sister's sleeve.

"We're alive!" a voice shouted. Destiny now noticed. Someone was riding the oversized lizard.

She grabbed the nearest stick and held it as if it was the sword she used for practice in her traditional sword fighting class. Yes, she has taken a legal, Japanese sword fighting technique classes. It was better than gymnastics which Juliet had taken in her sister's stead.

Destiny watched cautiosly as a figure hopped off the dragon, reaching their hand up for something. A few seconds past and another figure jumped down as well. There was two. Destiny was outnumbered. Her sister didn't count.

She heard the figure laugh, but they eruptly stopped. Juliet shone the flashlight at the figures with her trembling hand. Destiny couldn't exactly distinguish the figures, but she knew it was a boy and a girl. She slowly stepped foward, snapping a twig. What's up with the twigs, she thought.

"We're busted." the same voice echoed. Destiny watched as the boy drew closer. Now, she could see him more clearly. A thin, scrawny boy came into the light with both hands up. His brown hair shagged and Destiny could make out how unclean he looked. His clothes were somewhat torn, and he looked like he hasn't bathed for months. At least he looked harmless to her eyes. Now as for the dragon....

"What the hell is that?" Destiny voice shook as she eyed the mechanic dragon.

"Wait, you see Festus?"

"What do you mean I see Festus? How can I miss an oversized, bronze lizard! And Festus? You named that thing? That's a horrible name!"

The boy frowned. "Hey, that's my bronze dragon, not that thing. And don't judge his name." The boy added a bit of sass at the last part. Destiny couldn't figure it out. Was she dreaming? Was she hallucinating? Was she crazy? Scratch that last one, we all know she is.

Juliet's trembling got to her. Destiny turned her head to see someone had writted 'FEAR' all over her face with permanent marker. Her eyes shone which was a sign that she was on a verge of tears. Honestly, Destiny wouldn't find it suprising if Juliet soiled her shorts.

"Leo, who are they?" a pretty voice from behind called. Then the most beautiful girl that Destiny had ever seen emerged from the shadows.

"I have no idea, but apparentally they can see through the Mist...."

"What the heck is the mist?" Destiny asked, irritated that she understood nothing. Which happened often.

The boy, or Leo, slowly nodded. "I don't know what to say, so...... I guess we take her to Chiron...." The boy glanced at the girl.

"Chiron? What's that? Is it like churros...." Destiny asked. As stupid as the question was, Destiny was oblivious to the retarded way she asked the question.

"You'll see...." Leo said 'petting' Festus.

Destiny looked over to Juliet. Juliet still had the word fear on her face, but she seemed to have calmed down a bit. She looked over at Destiny and nodded. Juliet's curiosity won over the fear. Destiny sighed and reverted her focus on Leo.

"Why should we listen to you?" she asked.

"Unless you want to be hunted down by random monsters, what other choice do you have?" Leo shrugged.

"Oh please, there is no such thing as mons-"

A soft growl could be heard not too far away. Destiny's eyes widened.

"Let's go." she said quickly.

Leo chuckled as he led Festus and everyone else out of the forest to a hill.

Piper's POV

I ran my hand through my hair as I paced outside my cabin. I finished filling out my forms for the college at Camp Jupiter, but Percy and the rest took longer than expected. I stopped pacing and plopped down to the floor. It was the middle of the night and they still aren't finished filling out the forms! Frustrated, I threw my hands up and fell back on to the ground. I stretched out as the sounds of crickets rang in my ear. I. Am. So. SLEEPY!

My eyes started drooping and I started to doze off, before I heard that familiar cry.

"WHO'S THAT SPANKING HOT MCSHIZZLE THAT CMAE BACK FROM THE DEAD? ME, LEO FREAKIN VALDEZ DID! TOP THAT HERCULES!"

I flew open my eyes and I felt my heart beat faster than it had ever before. I couldn't control my breathing nor tears. Leo was back.

A loud creak echoed through the camp. Festus was back as well! The cabins lit up to life as campers peaked their head out the doors and windows.

"Leo's back?"

"Is this some sort of prank?"

"That voice..."

"LEO!" I shouted as I scrambled to my feet and ran off towards Thalia's pine. My feet hit the floor with a thud and my heart beat could probably be heard a mile away. Not only did I notice I was running with a huge mob behind me and I was barefoot somehow, but I noticed more people with that Latino.

"OH MY GODS, LEO, I'M GOING TO STRANGLE YOU!" I screamed, laughing.

Then I fell face first on the ground.

Leo was back.
