The House of Hades

Chapter 21- Coach Hedge's Statement

Guys, tell me what you want in the next chapter! Like Jiper, of Percabeth, of Lazel, I've run out of ideas! ~BW~

Hazel

Leo was in the infirmary.

Piper told everyone that summoning that much fire could have drained him. Jason worridly agreed. Hazel knew they were his best friends, and they were concerned.

Piper had asked Frank and Jason to carry Leo downstairs. Franks face was just too funny.

Now Leo was being healed by some satyr healing magic, compliments of Coach Hedge. The demigods were in the mess hall, eating. They had stopped the ship, without Leo's command, they might crash.

Jason pushed around his sandwhich. "That was pretty epic."

Hazel squinted. "Epic?"

"Cool. It was pretty cool."

Coach Hedge trotted into the room. He sat down at the head of table, where Annabeth or Percy usually sat.

He chewed celery. "Ever wonder what Jackson and Chase are doing down there?"

Hazel was confused. "Not too long ago, we saw them almost dying in a hydra attack."

"I don't buy that."

Jason started to laugh, and the othes joined in. Even Nico was laughing.

"What do you think they're doing, Coach?" Piper laughed.

Everyone stiffened. Coach smirked. "Ah, you've realized."

Everyone left afte that. Piper and Hazel went down to check on Leo, while Frank and Nico went to their rooms, and Jason and Hedge went on deck.

The infirmary smelled of lemongrass and sage, for some odd reason. Hazel peered at the cot that held a sleeping Leo.

Piper glanced at Hazel. "I feel bad."

"Why?"

"The thing Khoine said, about your talk with Nemesis. Does Leo really think that?"

Hazel chewed her lip. "Yes."

"But he's not the 7th wheel!"

Hazel put a hand on her shoulder. "It's somewhat true Piper."

Leo stirred as if offended.

Piper bit her lip. "He isn't the outsider."

Hazel was about to argue when Piper rushed out.

Hazel sighed and walked over to Leo. His eyes popped open.

"She gone?" He raised an eyebrow. Hazel giggled.

Something fell out of her pocket. Leo grabbed it before it hit the floor.

"Oh."

It was a detailed dawing of Annabeth and Percy in the stables, sleeping.

"Um, that's just...just.."

Leo broke into a grin. "Amazung! That's awesome Haze!"

Hazel blushed.

Leo laughed. "How'd you-"

"Um, I like to draw."

"Undestatement of the millenia!"

Hazel stumbled and fell forward. Leo, still laying down, tried to assit her but failed, and her lips connected with Leo's.

The kiss tasted of oranges and woodsmoke, of underground and metal. (Oranges?)

Frank's voice broke the moment.

This is shot, but I need ideas!! HELP!! ~BW~
