Leo had mixed feelings for Hera, but right now, he was nearly in love with her. The hotel room was decorated with bright green drapes, white bed sheets, mirrors, everything! It had a very natural look to it. It had two beds with a mirrored table between them.

"Woah." Jason muttered.

"Stay up as late as you want, marveling the furniture. Just don't wake me up with you oohs and ahs"Leo flopped onto the bed, clicked off the light beside his bed, and fell into horrible sleep.

He was staring at a teenage boy, wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a leather jacket.

"Umm, who are you?"Leo asked

"I'm Phobos. God of fear. You know the word phobia originated from my-"

"Right. Look, I'm tired, so why are you here?"

"To torture you." Phobos shrugged.

"Let me guess. You work for Gaea?"

"For? I work alongside Gaea, yes."

"'Kay, let's get this over with."

"You don't seem to be afraid."

"I'm tired. What else do you expect?"

"Then I'll just make you afraid. Usually people tremble in my presence, but, eh."

"Yeah, yeah, move on."

"Okay look into my eyes."

Leo obeyed. No use in arguing, it would just make this go on longer. As soon as he did, though, he wished he hadn't. The world around him transformed. He was standing in a forest, his friends around him in various areas.Monsters were surrounding him. A hellhound lunged at his face. He threw a firball at it, but it dodged out of the way. The tree behind where it was caught on fire.

The fire started spreading. To the next tree, then the next, and the one after that. First caught up to Hazel. After that Frank was thrown to the ground and eaten by the flames.

"No, no, no, NO!" was all Leo could manage, through the coughing

Next was Nico. Then coach hedge. Then Percy and Annabeth. All that was left was Jason, Piper, and Alexa. Alexa was having a coughing fit, but seemed unharmed by the heat. Jason and Piper shot Leo one last glance. Jason's said You monster. Piper's was one of disbelief, like How could you?

The fire went out, leaving nothing but ashen remains and alexa dead body, unburnt. A ghost like fighure of Leo's mother appeared from the fire's remains and looked at Leo.

"You are no son of mine."She said before dissapearing.

Leo bolted up in his bead, at the same time Jason did, screaming. They looked at each other.

"Phobos?" Leo asked.

"Phobos." Jason agreed.

"Well we aren't getting back to sleep now. And I need some fresh air."

He threw open the curtains to find a sunrise lighting up the sky with firey colors.

He sat out on the balcony, and Jason followed him out. Leo lit a flame and started twirling it between his fingers,looking at it thoughtfully.

Leo was pulled out of his train of thought, though, when Jason spoke.

"What?"

"Should we wake the others?"

"Nah. They've got to much to- Hey what's that?" Leo pointed over towards a furry ball running towards them.
