No one P.O.V. 

"VALDEZ!" Reyna and Nico shouted in unison. 

"Yes?" Leo asked innocently. Nico and Reyna were very scary when they were angry. Nico reached out his hand and Reyna grabbed it, before they disappeared into the shadows. Leo chuckled nervously. "Anyways, how many of you like the idea of the play?" Right then, chaos ensued. 

"YOU LOST REYNA AND NICO!" The others of the Seven shouted. 

"Well, technically..." Leo said uncertainly. 

"Idiot," Calypso said before slapping him. 

"OW! What was that for?" Leo asked. 

"Maybe it was for losing two campers!" Calypso shouted. By now, all the campers were shouting (and in the Hermes cabin's case, pick-pocketing campers that were distracted). 

"SILENCE!" Chiron shouted, stamping his hooves. "I'm sure they've just decided to take a step away from camp for a minute of fresh air. Now, we must not-" 

"Panic?" A scary voice - Nico's voice asked, stepping out of the shadows behind Leo. 

"Great idea," said Reyna, stepping out from behind him. They both stood and faced Leo, who chuckled nervously. 

"Hey, guys. Long time no see...?" Leo said uncertainly. 

"I think you meant: You won't be seeing anything good for a long time." Nico said. 

"Huh?" Leo asked confusedly. Just then, Nico snapped his fingers and concentrated, with Reyna lending strength. Nico made everything dark. Shadows stretched out and enveloped Leo, causing him to see bits of Tartarus. Similar to Hades' Helm of Darkness, Nico could now cause people to see fearful things, and Tartarus was one big hellhole for Nico. Leo started breathing heavily and started getting scared. Then, Nico became tired, so he snapped his fingers and left the rest to Reyna. All the campers watched this, bewildered and scared at what was going on. Reyna then reduced Leo to a pulp, with Nico using his shadows to quell any flames Leo tried to make. 

Finally, Chiron stamped his hooves. 

"ENOUGH!" He bellowed. "Take Mr. Valdez to the infirmary." He calmly ordered the nymphs. "Everyone else, to their cabins. Romans, you know which cabins you're going to." Everyone was still for a moment, then started jostling around trying to get to their cabins. "Calypso, Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Reyna, and Nico... come with me." They all followed him to the Big House. "Wait here," He ordered, indicating to the rec room table and chairs. He went to the infirmary to work his healer magic on Leo. There was a beat of silence. Then, Percy smiled a little. 

"Nice job reducing him to a pulp, you two," he said, addressing Reyna and Nico. "It was pretty fun to watch." 

"Percy!" Annabeth said, elbowing him. 

"Well, he's right. That was kind of entertaining." Piper agreed, hiding her laugh. 

"Yeah, but that's some scary magic you did there. Leo was almost crying." Jason noted. 

"Good," Nico said. "What he deserves." 

"Eh, I could've done better," Reyna said, casually flipping her knife into a sword and back. 

"WHAT! YOU BEAT UP MY BOYFRIEND!" Calypso shouted. "He deserved it though. He should've known to not make a play starring the 'scariest people in camp'." Then, Chiron walked in. 

"You can visit Leo now," he informed them. They all went to the infirmary. When they walked in, they gasped.
