Chapter Twenty-Two

Zethes lowered his sword. "Fine, we won't kill you. My sister won't be too happy, though."

As if on cue, a beautiful girl walked in. We wore a white silk dress. He skin was really pale which contrasted with her long black hair and brown eyes.

Crystal glances at Leo and frowned. He was lovestruck. Crystal elbowed his side. He glared at her.

The girl looked at them and seemed to understand everything. She looked at Jason.

"My father would like to see the one named Jason." She said.

"Jason? As in our Jason! Wait, no. He died a mortal death. That can't be him. Maybe the one we're watching for? The son of Zeus?"

"We'll see," the girl replied. "Zethes, bring our guests."

Leo grabbed the suitcase and Crystal straightened up. Before she could even take a step, the girl tired around and glared at her.

"Leo Valdez, you stay. As well as," she gave Crystal a nasty look. "you. Who are you?"

"Keith Myass." Crystal replied, obviously not liking the girl's tone.

"Keith Myass? What kind of name is Keith Mya-?" The girl growled when she realized what she was saying and Crystal smirked.

"Why are you here? You have no importance here."

Crystal crossed her arms, "Hey, can you do me a favor? Take your sass, put it in your pocket."

The girl glared. "Excuse me?"

"Your sass? Just, put it in your pocket." Crystal raised an eyebrow.

The girl rolled her eyes and turned to Cal. "Calais, keep Leo Valdez and this... girl... here. Guard them, but do not kill them."

Cal pouted. "Just a little."

"No," she insisted, obviously considering saying yes to killing Crystal.

Jason and Piper shared a look and looked back at Crystal and Leo.

Crystal nodded. "We'll be fine."

"Listen to your friend. They will be safe," the girl said. "I cannot say the same for you, son of Zeus."

She sat on a frozed chair and said, "So, Cal. What do you like?"

Leo gave her an are you kidding me look. Crystal shrugged.

Cal smiled enthusiastically. "Hockey! Pizza! Destroy!"

Crystal nodded. "That sounds fun."

Cal nodded. "Sister thinks it's stupid."

"That was you sister? What's her name?" Crystal asked.

Cal frowned. "Khi... Khio..." He struggled with the name, for it was more than two syllables.

"Is it Khione?" Crystal helped.

He nodded.

Leo nudged her. "How'd you know?"

Crystal shook her head. "I read it somewhere."

"Oh."

"Speaking of Khione, I saw you looking at her." Crystal said.

"No, I wasn't! Why? Was she looking at me?" Leo asked.

"Why do you like her? I don't trust her." Crystal crossed her arms in anger and cold.

The seat was really cold.

"She seems nice. And really pretty." Leo shrugged.

"Whatever." Crystal sighed.

"Are you- are you jealous?" Leo laughed.

Crystal stood up. "I am not! Why would I be jealous of her?"

"You are! Crystal is so jealous!" Leo teased.

Crystal growled. She grabbed Leo's arm and flipped him over her shoulder. He landed on the ground with a thump and a groan.

"I am not jealous." She growled down at him.

Crystal looked up at Cal. "Got anything to play with?"

Leo whimpered from the cold floor. "Ow..."
