REMEMBER ME ---- BOOK I / Heroes of Olympus / Leo Valdez Fanfiction

What? That cannot happen dude, she's too precious to loose, she can't forget me.

LEO'S TOUR WAS GOING GREAT UNTIL he learned about Penelope.

The archer dude, Will Solace, seemed pretty cool. Everything he showed Leo was so amazing, it should've been illegal. Real Greek warships moored at the beach that sometimes had practice fights with flaming arrows and explosives? Sweet! Arts & crafts sessions where you could make sculptures with chain saws and blowtorches? Leo was like, Sign me up! The woods were stocked with dangerous monsters, and no one should ever go in there alone? Nice!  Leo didn't quite understand the whole related-to-the-gods business, but he hoped that didn't mean he was cousins with Penelope. That would suck.

Will showed him the cabins, the dining pavilion, and the sword arena.

"Do I get a sword?" Leo asked.

Will glanced at him like he found the idea disturbing. "You'll probably make your own, seeing as how you're in Cabin Nine."

"Yeah, what's up with that? Vulcan?"

"Usually we don't call the gods by their Roman names," Will said. "The original names are Greek. Your dad is Hephaestus."

"Festus?" Leo had heard somebody say that before, but he was still dismayed. "Sounds like the god of cowboys."

"He-phaestus," Will corrected. "God of blacksmiths and fire."

Leo had heard that too, but he was trying not to think about it. The god of fire ... seriously? Considering what had happened to his mom, that seemed like a sick joke.

"So the flaming hammer over my head," Leo said. "Good thing, or bad thing?"

Will took a while to answer. "You were claimed almost immediately. That's usually good."

"But that Rainbow Pony dude, Butch—he mentioned a curse."

"Ah ... look, it's nothing. Since Cabin Nine's last head counselor died—"

"Died? Like, painfully?"

"I ought to let your bunkmates tell you about it."

Leo thought that Will Solace was hiding something from him. He looked way too shy and uncomfortable talking with him. He understood the shy part, he looked way too hot, for a matter of fact boys couldn't resist him(girls could). But why was he uncomfortable?

"Hey man? Gotta tell you something." Will told as he pulled him down nearby the strawberry fields. Leo thought that he would lose his first kiss to a guy today (NOT something he wanted, he had his eyes on a girl), but that wasn't the case.

"What bro?" Leo asked as he kept his legs one on the other, and slumped his back on the tree, as Will, crossed his legs and faced him.

"Uh" Will stammered. "Okay, so you know this boy right? Jason?" Will asked.

"Yup! My best bud." He sounded enthusiastic, but wasn't interested in the talk much.

"And this girl Penelope?" Now Leo was interested.

"Yeah? What about them?"

"Remember how Jason kind of lost his memories, and Penelope has been having memory gaps?" Will asked.

"Bro how do you know about Penelope's memory gaps?!" Leo snapped, straightening up. That was a secret only he, Piper and Jason knew. 

"Uh Annabeth asked her about it and then she told me- But that's not the point right now!" Will said, scooting closer.

"Yeah so how long have you known each other for" Will asked. "Probably like 4-5 months?"

"I'm sorry and please don't freak out, but like--" Will stammered. "They didn't actually happen."
