Leo would have died if not for the girl.
Little did he know that the venti had snuck up behind him, sword in hand ready to cut him in half, when the crazy girl grabbed his hammer and nailed him in the back of his head with a satisfying Thonk! The venti fell to his knees and crumbled into dust. The girl just stood there with a emotionless expression on her face.
Finally she broke the silence. “That...was...AWESOME!” she said with a giddy jump.
Leo unfroze and fell on the ground face up. He stared at the sky for a second and then got up. “ Is there a lake around here?” he asked quickly.
“ Yeah over there.” she pointed to a small opening in the woods that was far away. "Why do you want to go swimming?" She asked.
There was a sound of monsters roaring in the distance.
"What in darnations was that?" The girl asked.
"Don't worry my foolish girl it's just an army of my strongest venti ready to kill you and my dear friend Leo Valdez."
"Can I pass on the killing part?" She asked. Leo rolled his eyes.
“Come on, we have to get off land!” Leo grabbed her surprisingly warm hands and they both ran toward the lake full speed.
When they finally got to the lake the ground was working against them, dragging them down, slowing their movements.
“Look! Canoes!” The girl pointed to a dozen canoes laying on the sand. The were painted silver with ‘Camp Blue Jay’ painted on the side. Leo and the girl both grabbed an ore and started rowing off to the center of the lake.
When they got to the middle of the lake the just sat there for at least 5 minutes just staring at the rippling water. Finally Leo couldn’t stand the silence anymore.
“What’s your name?” he asked.
The girl seemed to jerk as if she had forgotten he was there.
“What did you say?” she asked, looking embarrassed.
“What is your name?” He asked for the second time.
“Jordan. Jordan Oxford.” She answered. “What is your real name? Because that voice called you Leo…..Sanchez?”
“Valdez.” He corrected. “Wow you are really bad at names.” He commented. Then the girl laughed a clean full hearted laugh that made his ears ring.
“Sorry, I am very bad when it comes to names, phone numbers, or even hotel rooms! There was this one time where I was staying at a hotel and after I got my room number. I was walking in the hallway when I realized i left my room key in the lobby! Man it was soo embarrassing! I even got lost on my way back to the room!” As she finished she blushed. “I’m sorry I really like to talk.” She added as her face got even redder. Leo just realized that this girl had a very strong southern accent. Just when he thought he couldn’t get more Texan.
“Don’t worry I like to talk a lot too.” He said to make her feel better. “If you don’t mind me asking, what is a eleven year old doing in a hotel alone?” He asked.
Jordan pulled her silky brown hair behind her ear. “Actually i’m twelve, turning thirteen soon." She added quickly. "And I was in a hotel alone because I ran away from my foster home, they didn’t allow horses and i couldn’t leave… Oh No! Tucker! We have to go back for him he’s probably so scared!”
She looked so scared. It was also obvious that she was close to tears even though she was trying to hide it.
“Hey don’t worry we’ll get Tucker it’ll be fine.” He didn’t know why but he felt very protective of this girl. even though they just met he felt a very strong connection that he couldn’t explain. But it wasn’t like the connectin like he had with Calypso… Still strong but different…
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a warship traveling across the sky. (Which is way louder then you think.) He heard shouting as a rope ladder fell off the side of the ship.
Jordan made a whimpering sound like she was scared. Leo saw the fear in her eyes.
“Don’t worry these are my friends. They’ll help.” He said as soothingly as he could.
Jordan laughed “Great they’re your friends? they must be nutjobs.” Her blue eyes sparkled evilly. (In a joking matter) Leo smiled. This girl was more surprising than the Gods themselves.
