Leo Valdez-Not okay?

Leo

I wake up, shaking, freezing, crying, and throwing up. I had a throbbing headache, and I was swaying. Kayla, Will and Nico are all standing above me, alongside them, two people I don't know, though I'd guess it would likely be Apollo and Hestia. "I'm so so sorry...I'm really sorry...I couldn't get out....he, he...." I start, not being able to describe it for a while. "He took me...he used my fatal flaw against me, he.." The girl I didn't know, came up to me, and gripped my hand.

"Leo. Slow down, focus on your breathing." So that's what I did, I could feel my heart rate slowing down, and my throat was opening up more. The knot in my stomach was still there, tighter than ever, but then again, it is always there. "Thank you..Lady Hestia?" She smiles, "You're a smart boy Leo, really smart." I thank her, and Apollo; for saving me. "It was so so so scary...and I know, I know I seem childish but I can't help it.." I told when they asked what happened again. "He told me that I was weak, and that I was essentially useless and then...." I wasn't sure if I was able to tell them about what Hades told me, "Could I talk to Athena? I need to ask her something."

"Hello Leo, always a pleasure to see you." I nod, not today however. "Um, I just have one question..." she looked at me, a bit confused and worried. "Of course you can Leo, if anything, I'm sure..." her voice trails out and suddenly standing in front of me, she shifts to being Athena to Kronos. "No...no please Gods NO!" I cry. I can't do this again...I can't. My breathing becomes short and rapid, and my heart bounces against my own ribs. "Yesssss.." Kronos hisses, "innocently" smiling, his eyes glowing and glaring at me with amusement. I can feel someone shake my shoulder. "Leo, Leo are you okay?" A voice says, but it's too far away. I can't respond, I'm paralyzed with fear, I can't move or speak or anything. I send a silent prayer. "Please, whoever's there. Please, save me, it's Kronos. He has me, and I'm scared, please help me. I can't speak or move, Gods help me, I'm so scared, and it's so cold here...it's me, Leo. I promise." Someone must have heard my prayer, because I can see Athena, staring at me. "Are you okay?" She asks. All I could do was shake my head no. But I started crying. "I'm..I'm sorry. It was so scary. I can't do this. I'm lost and I...I'm scared. He scares me..he uses my fear as power. I don't want to end out like Luke, I need to be saved." I ramble.

She harshly grabbed my shoulders. "Leo." She commands, making me look into her thundering grey eyes. "Slow down. Breathe, it's okay. What do you mean 'you don't want to be like Luke'? Luke as in Luke Castellan?" I nod. I can't do anything else. "Kronos." I choke. "He is controlling me, I don't even recognize myself, I'm scared of myself. And I hate it." I would've started to cry, but my eyes were as dry as the Sahara Desert from my previous cries. "Leo, it will all be okay, we will find something out. You will not end up like Luke." I believed her. "Thank you...thank you so much Athena, I mean it."
