Dirty Little Secrets

                       When Leo met Hazel he wouldn't admit to anyone, but he somewhy felt a small tug in his heart. They met gazes and turned away like nothing happened.  They met up later in secret and eventually started dating and got to know each other. In reality trying to hide a secret isn't as easy as it seems.  Their fatal mistake because everybody except one person would be fooled, Percy Jackson.

"Leo Valdez's Point of View:"

            It was they day we arrived at Camp Jupiter.  Percy and Annabeth were finally reunited, and the seven were ready to leave. I climbed aboard the Argo II and looked around the roman camp as I was looking out through the crowd one girl caught my eye.  She was an African American, with long curled cinnamohn brown hair. She stood tall and proud and her eyes reminded me about peoples story's of Kronos, except her eyes were somehow warm and inviting. We by accident stared eye to eye for a minute before looking our opposite ways, during the time we made eye contact I somehow felt an connection to her.  I wondered if she felt anything or if I was just being Leo.  I stood there thinking and, I didn't feel the spirt coming up behind me.

             I suddenly lost control of my body, and I was forced to watched as I fired on the roman camp. I felt so helpless as I watched myself shoot the ballistas.  I heard a voice and my body turned, it was Percy and some others. I saw how he gave straight commands even though it was a time of panic, and I felt envious of him. I was glad when Percy tackled me because I lost conscious because I stopped. As everything faded to black I saw a dragon drop the girl I saw, Jason and Piper.

Hazel's POV:

            When I looked towards the greeks ships and saw a boy who reminded me of my past, I was so glad I stopped having flashbacks. I started analyzing him, but made the mistake of looking at his eyes. I suddenly stopped inhaling air, he was so much like my olf crush and that brought back a bit of emotions. I turned away and acted like something didn't happen, but I was still going to find out who he was. When I heard the first explosion I was confused, but everyone else wasn't.  I heard several shouts of things like "The Greeks have fired!" or "Those untrustworthy Graceus." and even " Can we fight later? I'm still hungry!"  As one of the seven i knew i had to be on that ship so I found some others and waited for Frank to come get us while trying to avoid fighting with romans.  Finally I felt something and me, Jason, and Piper were airborne thanks to Frank. (Dragon Form)  As we landed I saw the kid tackled by Percy.

Leo's POV:

            When I woke up I hoped that had all been a dream but knowing my luck it wasn't. I went to the engine room to steer the boat and other stuff when I heard a 'knock' 'knock' on the door. I opened it and found Hazel or so I was told was her name. Hazel asked if she could come in and I said "Sure." When she came in she closed the door and said she needing to talk to me about things.  I was wondering what I did again, so I asked "What?" Hazel replied that she thinks I may be from her past, 'but thats impossible right?' We soon started talking about other things and when she had to leave she kissed me! I mean litterally at the door she kissed me on the lips and told me she would see me later.

(Two Weeks Later)

         Over the past to weeks we pretended nothing was happening between us and only kissed in the boiler room.  We were pretty good actors because nobody except for Percy was suspicious.  I guess in a way Hazel was my girlfirend, but a part of me felt sorry for Frank when he had to deal with heart break.  Over time I had learnt about Hazel's history, and oddly I wasn't even freaked out she used to be dead. We were heading over the ocean towards Rome, and because Annabeth talked a lot about architecture I was starting to grow with anticipation. Recently me and Hazel came up with some nicknames for each other she would call me "Fire bug", "Repair boy," " Boy on fire" and I would call her "Haze" "Jewel girl" and my favorite "Metal detector."  Same as always Percy was the only one to notice we would use the nicknames flirtatiously. I wonder if Percy will find the secret.
