Daughter of the Sea

Chapter 9

No ones POV

Leo didn't know what time it was but he was almost done working on Festus. He figured out why the dragon was acting so crazy. Festus hard drive was messed up, so Leo fixed it up as good as he could. Leo was about to put the second wing on and ask for some help from his friend Alyssa when he turned around to find her asleep. Alyssa had her head down on the desk and was seated in a chair with her body leaning on the desk. Leo chuckled and climbed down from Festus and patted him reassuring the dragon that he'll be right back.

Leo went up to Alyssa and picked her up bridal style and put her down on a couch that he found and put a blanket over her (he also found that as well). Alyssa adjusted her self while she was a sleep to make herself comfortable. Leo smiled down at his former girlfriend and tucked a strain of her blonde wavy hair behind her ear. She sighed at the touch of his hand and smiled in her sleep. Leo then bent down and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight," he whispered to her knowing that she probably won't hear him. He then walked away from the couch and looked up at the bronze dragon. "Lets finish you," Leo said while smiling. So he did just that and he didn't get an ounce of sleep.

Alyssa's POV

I woke up to the sound of something creaking like a machine and someone yelling for something to stand still. I opened my eyes really slowly to be blinded by light. I groaned and covered my eyes with my hands and started to rub them. I tried opening my eyes again and everything came into focus. I sat up to find myself on a couch with a blanket on my lap and in a cave... no wait a bunker. I think every things coming back to me now. Yesterday was so weird, Percy's missing, three demigods arrive, and to top it all off I broke up with my boyfriend. Who is trying to get down from a bronze dragon as I speak. 

Leo finally got down and turned around to find me awake. He smiled and raced over towards me before I could even smile back. He grabbed me by the shoulders and gave me a lunatic smile. " I did it! Festus is all fixed up and ready to fly," he excitedly said while shaking me. I put my hands on his shoulders and stood up from where I slept. 

" That's great Leo! Now you can go on the quest," I told him while shaking his shoulders as well. He laughed and let go of me and twirled around the room like a ballerina. I watched as he did his happy dance and I started to laugh really hard that tears were rolling down my cheeks. After his happy dance he decided to climb onto Festus and reached out his arm. It's like he wanted to me to grab it  so he can show me the world on a dragon. Either he was crazy or he was just plain out crazy! Yet he still had his hand out stretched for me to take and that insane smile plastered on his face. I shook my head. " You must be crazy if you want me to ride on Festus with you." He laughed.

"Come on it'll be fun. Plus do you really want to be stuck in this old bunker where no one will ever find you?" I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrow.

"Are you threading me, Valdez?" He shrugged.

"Maybe." I stared at him and he stared right back. It was like this for at least a minute before I gave in.

"Fine," I said while uncrossing my arms and grabbing a hold of his hand while he pulled me up right behind him.

" Awesome! I knew you'd give in. No one can resist Leo Valdez baby!" I rolled my eyes at his comment. "Now you better hold on tight Princess we're about to take off." I rolled my eyes yet again and wrapped my arms around his waist, while the door opened. Then we took off and the next thing I knew we were in the sky! I have to say it was incredible. Never have I ever experienced this(well I'd be lying I kind of have but that's a different story for another time). The view was breathtaking. You can see a bunch of trees, the strawberry fields in the distance and the lake gleaming in the morning sunlight. The ride wasn't that long (sadly) and we landed in the middle of camp. "That was sweet," I said. Leo nodded and was about to say something until we heard something.
