Olivia's POV

I wake up confused, momentarily forgetting where I am. When I come to my senses, I let go of Leo so quickly I nearly fall off Feastus.

"Careful!" Leo yells over the wind. "It's a long way down!" I cling onto the bronze plates which make up the dragon and hope like hell I don't fall off. I look around and see Sara with stupidest grin on her face, arms in the air. She's a real adrenaline junkie. Remi looks like she about to throw up and Annabeth doesn't look to great either. Macey and Tat appear to admiring the view, which mostly clouds for all I can see.

"How long have we been up here?" I ask, trying to be heard over the wind.

"No idea!" Macey yells back. "You've been asleep for a while though," she tells and my cheeks go red.

"You're a bit of snorer," Leo sniggers and I must go as red as a tomato.

After about half an hour, land comes into view. In the middle of a valley is what appears to be summer camp. They have twelve cabins arranged in an inverted U and another block of cabins a little of to left. However, as you get closer, you can see something's which aren't at your ordinary summer camp.They have an amphitheatre, huge Greek style dinning pavilion, a sword fighting arena and climbing wall which appears to spewing hot lava. Also, all the cabins look different to one another, some grand but empty and others old but packed.

"What is this place?" I ask.

"Camp Half-Blood," Percy replies and we go into land.

The sound of metal scraping wood isn't a good one. Landings don't seem to be Leo's forte and we land with such bump I going flying off the back.

"Ahhh," I groan, thinking wood's a lot harder than I thought. Leo scrambles of Feastus to see what's happened. He seems to curse under his breath before offering me hand. He looks me dead in the eye and I freeze. I didn't realise how good-looking he was before, lost in the fight. But with a small scratch on his left cheek and his swept messily to one side. I get butterflies in my stomach. He seems to freeze for a moment as well before leaning to pull me up. I get up on my feet and stand there. I've never got like this around anyone, especially a boy. His nose bursts into flames and I have to point out it to him. When he realises, he starts swatting at his nose frantically, trying to put it out.

"That looked like quite landing," Sara says, running over to me.

"You looked like you were having the time of your life," I laugh and she goes red in the face. Everyone else comes over and, for some reason, Leo gives Percy a panicked look. He nods in reply and makes a suggestion.

"Leo, do you wanna go get Chiron. I think we've got some explaining to do," Percy tells us and my friends and I nod in agreement. Leo gives Percy a look as if to say Thank You and runs off into the valley.

"What was that about?" I ask Remi, who is now to my left.

"No idea," replies and we all walk off the dock into the valley.

Leo's POV

I mentally face palm myself as I run over to the big house. A full speed landing, what the Hades was I thinking? And I let my nose burst into flames, well done Leo, well done!

I'm usually cool around girls but not her. Not even Calypso made me nervous. Some may say she's pretty average, with her blonde-brown hair and blue eyes, but not me. This way she questioned Feastus's safety, how she awkwardly wrapped her arms around me and the soft snore she makes when she sleeps. It gives me butterflies.

As I get closer to the big house, I can hear Chiron's old Frank Sinnartra records playing so I don't bother knocking. I walk in and Chiron's facing the wall, bopping his head up and down to the music.
