Leo looked up, eyes fill of sorrow. "That's what she said. That I was important for something about the prophecy about seven demigods. That's what scares me. I don't know if I can do it."
________________
They sat in silence while Leo poked at the fire with bare hands and asked, "Do you ever wonder about the other demigods? If we're part of the Great Prophecy, who are the others and where? Is Crystal part of it?"
"I don't know," Crystal answered.
"I guess they'll come when it's time. Maybe they're on a quest right now." Jason shrugged.
Crystal yawned and laid down, using her pack as a pillow. She heard inaudible talking, then someone laying down a few feet away from her. She drifted off to a, thankfully, dreamless sleep.
Crystal awoke to what she assumed was about an hour later. She felt a warm arm around her waist, wrapped securely. Her back was against an even warmer chest, which she slightly snuggled into, for the sewer was abut drafty. Her eyes snapped open once she realized who the body belonged to. Crystal struggled to sit up, but Leo's grip tightened around her. She shifted to face him, frowning.
Her eyes widened at how peaceful he look. A small consent smile was on his face, long black eyelashes tickling his cheeks. A small blush appeared on Crystal's face. She was too exhausted to try to wake him. Before she could say or do anything else, Crystal nodded off to sleep again.
The next time she awoke, which was about three more hours later, her face was smushed into Leo's chest. Somehow, she was laying on top of him, Leo clutching her with both arms. She bolted upright and quickly stood, startling Leo.
He yawned and propped himself on his elbows, looking up at her. "What's wrong?"
"You were..." Crystal sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Nevermind."
Once Piper woke up, they all packed up the camp and went down the tunnel which seemed endless.
"You know, Crystal," Jason smiled, almost smugly. "You looked pretty cozy while you were sleeping."
"You know what, Grace? I'm so close to kicking your ass." Crystal growled.
