Book ➀: Simple as Fire (Leo Valdez x Reader) ✔️ COMPLETED

Chapter 26: Somewhere In The North

Your pov

"Y/n. Come on wake up" A boy knelt over me.

I groaned and sat up, grabbing my head. "Nico? What happened? Where's Lewis?" 

"First eat some of this" He handed me a square of ambrosia and I took a bite, I stood up, feeling somewhat better.

"Where are we?" I said, looking around. We were in a forest and all the trees were covered in snow.

"Somewhere in the North. We haven't been able to locate the exact place" Nico mumbles something under his breath.

"Wait we?"

"Y/N! You're awake!" Leo ran up to me, out of nowhere, and engulfed me in a hug.

"Jeez Leo, you're choking me" But he didn't let go. "Leo?" I felt my shirt turn wet and I pulled him arms length away. He had tear streaks down his face

"What happened?!"

"3 months....." Nico mumbled.

"What?" I was confused.

"It's been 3 months" He looked away.

"Oh my gods. Explain what you mean" I sighed, exasperated.

"You were unconscious for 3 months!" Leo pulled me in another hug.

"T-three months? What happened?"

"We don't know we came about two weeks to your mom's house and her and Josh were freaking out because you weren't back. We went to investigate and you were alone on the floor. There was a pool of dried blood around you so I grabbed you and next thing I know us three were here."

"You know very well that's not what I meant" I glared at Nico.

Leo sighed, "He's still missing"

I groaned and fell to the floor.  I couldn't loose Percy. That would be like loosing Leo. If either of them died I would...well I would break. I couldn't loose them and I wouldn't.

I swear on the River Styx I won't loose either of them on this quest, I silently vowed.

I closed my eyes and breathed. I felt weird as if I was here, but there was another me in a different place. Is this what it's like for gods when they're split? I was going to say something, but then it hit me. I stood up quickly and looked at Nico and Leo. 

"Guys. We're close to Percy."

~A week later~

We supported Nico, barley conscious from the shadow traveling we've been doing.

I trembled in front of the cabin we were in front of. "H-he's in here" I said.

Leo had fire in his hands, but it didn't help my fear. I had a dreading feeling, but I didn't know why.

"Well...." Leo trailed off, having bad experiences with Khione.

Nico weakly finished for him, "Let's go save Percy"
