Still Broken

Chapter 5- I dont want to be sad

Song is I Don't Want To Be Sad by Simple Plan
I'm loving Simple Plan, We The Kings, and Panic! At the Disco so you'll probably be hearing some of those bops.

Of course after all of that the fates wouldn't let me have a dreamless sleep. Of course not.

In my dream I was standing on top of the Argo II while I looked down at myself. Frank was glaring at everyone else and his normally soft, nervous expression was replaced with pure rage. Frank being scary wasn't something I'd ever recommend seeing. He was being controlled by the spirit or whatever but everyone else looked very tense.

I was still completely out in the middle of the ship between where Frank stood and the rest of the demigods stood. Frank took an angry step forwards until Piper shouted "Stop!" Suddenly everyone froze.

"Spirit listen to me! Leave now!" I could feel the power in her words so much that I wanted to jump off the boat just to make her stop. The spirit however didn't like that. It lashed out and suddenly I was pulled into another dream.

This time I was sitting at a table with the goddess Athena. Strange I know. We were at a little cafe somewhere in New York, with people walking or driving by without a second glance. The goddess had her hair down to her shoulders in a wavy style with blue jeans and a light green top. I was also wearing jeans and a button up flannel shirt.

"Leo. I have come to speak with you because i have great faith in you." I was really confused about what this was. When did anyone have faith in me. Let alone the goddess of wisdom. "My daughter has a great trial ahead and I need you to be there for her. I know that I am asking a lot but you humans are resilient you can handle it." Trail? Oh I remember.

About a month after Annabeth and I started hanging out she showed me this golden coin. She said her mother had frantically given it to her and that she felt dread whenever she looked at it. We tried to figure out what she was supposed to do but we never did.

"I know that my daughter had enlisted your help but neither of you could figure out what it meant. I know you can retrieve what was stolen from me." Stolen? What could have been stolen fro-

"You are waking. Best of luck young hero." The scene dissolved and I sat up with a loud gasp.

There was a battle raging around me. Frank was fighting like a maniac with my friends. I laid back down for a second as I felt my entire body hurt. I almost forgot that the spirit drained my energy from using my fire. I looked over at Piper who was shouting commands to try and confuse the spirit and Frank who was still going nuts. I tried to roll over but I could barely move.

I saw Percy go up behind Frank and brought down a block of wood on his head. Frank crumpled to the ground as he fell unconscious. Everyone gave out a sigh as we took in the damage. The deck was on fire in multiple places and smashed in some places too. The sun was at high noon and it was hard to imagine so many things happening in just a couple of hours.

Annabeth walked over to me with a worried expression. "You ok Leo?" I smiled a little.

"Never been better. Just got possessed. That's all. No need to worry." She smirked at me then asked.

"Well are you able to get up? Or was getting possessed just a little bit draining on your powers?" My smile fell as I just leaned back on the deck.

"Maybe just a little." I slowly was able to sit up and looked over at Frank who was still out with people around him, especially Hazel, making sure he was ok. I suddenly remembered my conversation with Athena. "Hey we need to talk."

"Yes we do. I know you just went through all that but you gotta tell me what's been bothering you." I almost forgot how down I've been feeling recently. But that's not important right now. I suddenly felt really tired but I pushed it away.

Annabeth helped me stand up and we wobbled over to everyone else. Piper glanced up and ran over to me. "I'm so glad your ok!" She said as she gave me a hug. I smiled a little bit. Maybe she really does care about me.

——time skip——(I didn't know what to put there ok?)

After a bit Frank woke up and we all went downstairs to the dining area to talk. Frank had an ice bag on his head and I had some bandages on my arms from where they got scraped up. I was feeling kind of drowsy from all the fire but I could wait til the meeting was over then go to sleep.

"Ok so does anyone know what that thing was? Leo and Frank what did it feel like when it took over?" Jason asked as eyes drifted towards me and Frank.

"It felt like no control. Like you could still think but that's all you could do. It felt as if you were a puppet, no movement except what that spirit wanted you to do." I said as I tried to avoid the prying eyes. Annabeth shot me a small smile and we kept talking about what went down and someone even apologized for not believing me earlier.

Percy cooked us dinner which consisted of blue Mac and cheese and blue cookies for dessert. It was surprisingly good once you got past the odd color choice. If eggs and ham can be green then I guess Mac and cheese can be blue. After dinner we all went back to our respective rooms with Festus on watch and keeping the course. I was almost to my room when I was roughly pulled.

I almost cried out, but then I saw a familiar silhouette. I let the person drag me through the halls until we entered a secret part of the ship. It was just a little hideaway that was built for times when I felt to overwhelmed and needed a break from people and work. Annabeth was the only one who knew about it. We walked in and sat on one of the beanbag chairs facing each other.

"We need to talk." She said as she looked at me with hard, determined eyes. This will be fun.

Sorry I'm not the best at writing the dream scenes. And fight scenes. But I hope you liked it!

Q: Which Mythology would you most like to be a part of? (Can be any mythology not just rick's books so far)

A: Irish mythology sounds pretty cool and I think Rick is writing a possible new series on it?? Hopefully?? I'm just interested in the fairies part of it they sound epic.

Thanks for reading my dudes and have an awesome day!
