I've mentioned this in a previous chapter, but Casa Demigod can become REALLY big.
So big in fact, that one time, someone got lost.
That someone was Leo. No surprise there.
Why was it always Leo who got into trouble? I honestly have no idea. That's just what you can expect from him.
It was an average weekday in Casa Demigod, and Leo was looking for his toolkit. It was big bright red, his name stenciled across the front in gold lettering. It was a gift from his dad, Hephaestus, so of course, it was pretty special.
He had looked literally EVERYWHERE. His bedroom, the living room, the kitchen, and even the dumpster, which he hated doing (he had trash duty every Tuesday. Yuck). He ended up having to hold his breath digging through old pizza boxes and expired cans of baked beans.
He had taken a right turn from the library and was walking down a corridor he had never been in. Some of the wooden doors had been boarded up and the air smelled like smoke. The corridor started getting darker and darker as he progressed.
'Okayyy, this is creepy.' He said out loud.
Suddenly, a noise came from down the hall. It sounded like growling. Leo stopped in his tracks and went pale as he heard a piercing scream. What was that? He didn't want to stick around to find out, so he turned around and bolted down the corridor.
The floor seemed to escalate as he ran, and tilted higher and higher like a ramp. Leo screamed as the force pushed him down and he began falling. The corridor was now pitch black, and he was falling into what seemed like an endless elevator shaft. The wind was cold and the air smelled like decaying bodies.
Leo then landed face-down on some sort of hard surface. He tried to stand up, but his legs wobbled. He looked at his arms, which were covered in cuts and blood, along with his clothes. His lip and the top of his left eyebrow were cut, too.
He felt pain surging through his body. Even if he moved his arms or legs, it felt like he was being stabbed by a thousand needles.
He was in a forest, surrounded by dead trees. The sky was dark and the moon and stars were nowhere to be seen.
'Jason! Frank! Percy! Annabeth! Piper! Hazel! Help! please...' He cried. 'This is so...random..'
He stiffened up as he heard the screaming louder now, but this time, he heard multiple. The growling also got louder. He knew the worst was yet to come.
He turned around to face where the screaming was coming from. Instead of seeing a huge monster and several dead people, he saw a small fast-food place. It was made entirely of glass with a big burger sign on top. White light shined inside, like the kind of light in hospitals at night. Creepy. As far as he could tell, it was empty.
As he ran towards it, the growling and screaming got even louder. He couldn't tell what it was and he was really scared, but he didn't turn around and start running back, screaming 'MOMMY!!!'.
Leo opened the door of the fast food place. The tables and chairs were covered in cobwebs. The counter was deserted. The entire place was empty, or so he thought. He went to the back, and what he saw next almost gave him a heart attack.
His friends were strapped to the wall with vines, sickly and pale. Their eyes were shut and they bled from cuts all over their bodies. Each of them had huge bloody gashes in their stomachs like they had been impaled. Their mouths hung open. Their belonging were scattered over the tile floor. An assortment of daggers, swords, spears, all covered in blood. Leo gasped in shock, his eyes stinging.
