How could you forget? (a Leo Valdez fanfic)

Ice meets Fire

So... any of you people crying yet? I hope not. If you cry I will start crying and I do not like crying. Okay? Capeesh. Yah. Capeesh is a fun word. Like Pietrisycamollaviadelrechiotemexity and Hippopotomontrosesquippidahliaphobia. (ACTURL WORDS USED IN BOOKS!!!)

Leo's P.O.V

Leo sat up there for a long while, waiting while Luke kept shouting things. Suddenly, something hit Leo, hard. I fell out of the tree, hitting brach after branch after branch until he collided with the ground. Luke pounced on him, catching the wolf head. So that was what hit Leo! Luke pressed the wolf head to Leo's arm. "Four minutes fifty nine seconds to go!" Luke announced. Leo shifted, trying to get the wolf head off of his skin. Luke shifted Leo into a head lock and pressed harder. "Soon, eidolon. Soon." Luke said. Leo cursed.

Leo suddenly felt very weak. Very weak. "Yeah. That is what you feel when an eidolon is gonna take control." Luke said. "Yeah. I know that feeling." Leo said, recalling when he fired on the Roman camp.

Ally's P.O.V

"GUYS! WAKE UP!' I screamed. I wanted to go to the underworld and get my brother out of there so I could get back to my freaking bed and I just want to GO HOME WHO AM I KIDDING?!? Annabeth stirred. "WAKE UP!" I yelled. Annabeth sat up with a start. "WHAT?!? WHO DIED?!?" Annabeth shrieked. "NOBODY! WE HAVE TO GET TO LEO NOW!" I shouted. "Why?" Annabeth asked, trying to rouse Percy. "I have a bad feeling about this whole ordeal." I said. "Oh, and you can suddenly sense things like that?" Annabeth said incredulously. I sat down and buried my head in my hands.

"Hey, sorry." Annabeth said. "It's not you." I said. My eyes flickered up to my mom who was no longer there. Suddenly, Percy sat up and screamed "BLUE!" I laughed with Annabeth at her ridiculous boyfriend. "C'mon, we have limited time." I said. "Why? Has it already been twenty days?" Percy asked. "No, I just have a really bad feeling about this." I said. Percy stood and led the way to the underworld, running the entire way so it only took us about two minutes. He spoke in Greek and dirt fell, creating a hole in the earth.

He stepped through and I followed, Annabeth close behind. A shout startled us. "LEO VALDEZ! YOU CAN'T HIDE IN THAT TREE FOREVER!" A voice screamed. "Oh no." Percy said. Annabeth was pale. "I know that voice." Annabeth said quietly. "Who is it?" I asked her. "Luke Castellan." Percy said. I nodded, not understanding. We crept up to the ferry man and handed him three drachmas. "Come aboard, Percy, Annabeth, and girl." The ferryman said. "Have you guys met?" I asked. "Yes, and he burned $170 dollars last time." Percy said, getting into the boat. Annabeth followed and I got in too. We drove along the river, hearing Luke shout things at Leo more and more. "LEO!" I called. "Ally?" I heard a soft voice say. "LEO!!!!!" I screamed, standing in the boat. We docked and I leapt out of the boat, Annabeth and Percy doing to same.

"LEO!" Percy shouted. "Percy?" Another soft voice said. It sounded scared, not at all like Leo. "ELYSIUM!" Annabeth said. She and Percy ran off and I followed, not knowing what Elysium was. When we got to a smoky place filled with trees, they stopped. There, on the edge off the smoky trees, was Luke, a tall, muscular blond boy, with Leo in a headlock, pressing a... a wolf head? Yeah, a wolf head aginst Leo's arm. "Hey guys. a minute and twenty six seconds before I become Luke's slave unless this wolf head gets off of me!" Leo said weakly. Percy tackled Luke, the wolf head flying into Elysium. Annabeth dragged a weak Leo to my side.

Suddenly, Annabeth yelled "PERCY!" And I looked up. Luke had Percy pressed against him, his sword pressed against Percy's neck. "GIVE ME BACK LEO." Luke shouted. "No." Annabeth said, stepping in front of Leo. Percy struggled against Luke. Annabeth looked like she was gonna burst into tears. "Annabeth! I HAVE BEEN DOWN HERE TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF YOU!" Luke snarled. Annabeth stepped back.  "Percy. Oh Percy. You have no IDEA," Luke said, pressing the flat of his blade hard on Percy's neck, "How much I want to kill you." Luke said, smiling and shaking his head. "Let him go!" I yelled at Luke.

"For WHAT, Ally? You want me to let him go for WHAT? You just want you brother. You are a traitor. You are an idiotic bitc-" Luke started. I blasted him with ice at the same time Leo blasted him with fire. Luke flew backwards, hitting a tree. Annabeth ran up to Percy and I helped Leo up. He looked sad. "What's up?" I asked. Suddenly, I knew it. "Mom is just unworthy to be on this earth. I don't even know how you hurt me. I remember everything else about you, though!" I said, wrapping my arms around Leo's neck. Leo smiled and hugged me back. Suddenly, Annabeth screamed. We unlocked and ra toward her, Leo unusually weak. "What?" Leo asked.  Annabeth pointed to something behind me and Leo.

We turned slowly. "CERBERUS!" Percy yelled. Cerberus was the giant, three-headed dog that guarded the underworld. Oh, did I mention that he is TEN TIMES THE SIZE OF ME AND I AM FIVE FOOT FOUR?!?!? " A...... um, carry the four... add the four... HE IS FIFTY-TREE FEET TALL!" I screamed. "Fifty three feet and three inches, just about, for your information." Leo said. "RUN!" Annabeth said. We sprinted away and toward the entrance. Leo was slow and I didn't know why. I grabbed his arm and he stumbled after me. We jumped into the boat. Annabeth thrust twenty drachmas into the ferryman's hands. "TEN MORE IF YOU GET US TO THE OTHER SIDE IN LESS THAN TEN SECONDS!" Annabeth screeched.

The ferryman laughed greedily. He rowed viciously. We hopped out of the boat in ten and a half seconds. "Sorry." Annabeth said, showing the ferryman her stopwatch. The ferryman's face fell. We ran to the entrance and burst through into the daylight. Leo collapsed. I screamed.
