The House of Hades

To lose a love worse then death.

Chapter 2- Leo

Leo felt gentle hands on him. He heard Piper yelling, the pounding of feet and stunned silence. Hazel yelled something, Leo wasn't sure what. Then someone lifted him up, and took him to the bottom of the ship, the sickbay. He opned his eyes when they stopped moving. Jason sat before him, holding nectar.

"Hey Leo," Hw fumbled. Someone was yelling up above. Leo shook his head to clear it. "Listen man, I'll explain everything later but, Hazel said you needed sleep. So, sleep." Leo tried to protest but, he fell asleep.

Percy was right. Demi-god dreams do suck. In Leo's dream, Gaea was at CHB.

"Leo Valdez," she murmured. Her mouth moved when she talked now. She was awakening. "Romans approch your camp. Do you wish to see it?"

Leo wanted to punch her. He wanted to kick her in her stupid dirt face. But he couldn't. He could only talk and watch. "Dude, get out of my dream. I want to dream about fuzzy unicorns dancing. You are the ugliest unicorn I have ever seen." Leo growled. Gaea lauged softly.

"Lets check up on your two friends," Camp turned into a dark abyss. Percy and Annabeth had landed in Tartarus. Annabeth didn't look so good. She kept scooting away from Percy, her eyes looked like broken glass. Even more broken then Nico's.

"No, no," she muttered, still scooting away. "Your all dead! I'm going to die alone. Percy's dead! Gaea said so!" Percy had tears in his eyes, as he crawled to Annabeth.

"I'm not dead, Wise girl. I'm right here, and we're going to get out. Trust me," Percy reached his hand out for Annabeth to grasp. Tears were spilling out now. "Trust me,"

"AHHHHHH" Annabeth screamed and ran off. "Monsters, monsters! No more!" Percy ran after her. He caught her, only because she had stopped running and was staring in horror at something.

"Hello, daughter of Athena, you've joined me." Percy drew his sword. Annabeth backed up, tripping over a rock.

"Spider," she whispered. Then the dream went to above deck. Frank and Hazel were fighting.

"You like him, don't lie." Frank hissed.

"Frank, please listen."

"Go talk to Leo. He's your friend after all."

Gaea appered next to Leo.

"Your crew is fighting, Annabeth Chase has re-found her mother's worst enemy and the Camp will die soon. Such joy. Goodbye Leo, but you will see me soon......" The dream ended. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leo walked up on deck. Frank was no where to be found. Hazel was hugging her knees. Piper was looking at the sea, as if hoping Percy and Annabeth would appear. Jason was at the helm with Coach Hedge. "Hazel?" Leo asked, sitting down next to her. Her tear stained face looked up.

"I don't love you Leo!" she ran downstairs. Piper and Jason didn't even turn around. A tear slid down Leo's face. 'To lose a love, worse then death. -The Battle of The Labyrinth-'
