The Blood of Olympus

Leo Valdez

Hello my dear readers! I recently realized that I have not done a single Leo chapter! How could I! Poor Leo I totally forgot about him....... Well I guess I will just have to make him super awesome in this chapter, now won't I? Oh and by the way I've changed my user name. I was previously known as Papillos Rule, but now I am FanOfTheWrittenArt. Thought a different user name would sound better. Tell me what you think! I hope you enjoy this chapter! Sincerely,

       FanOfTheWrittenArt~* (Previously known as Papillons Rule) :)

          DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT OWN HOO! RICK RIORDAN DOES! THIS IS A SIMPLE FAN-FICTION!

          Leo Valdez~*

       Leo really needed to start paying more attention to Piper. He was in the engine room minding his own business and checking a few loose wires. Next thing he know someone is right by his face screaming, "LEO!" To say he was spooked would be an understatement.

         "PIPER!" Leo shouted, accidentally chucking a wrench at the wall.

         Piper was on her laying on her back, dying of laughter. "T-the look on y-your face!" She burst into another fit of laughter. Tears streamed down her face in rivers and the chuckling made her chest heave.

      "Why was that so funny?! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Leo was slightly angry. One slip of the hand, one wrong wire cut, and he'd be deep fried.

       "I'm sorry. You were standing there, and you had know clue that I had come in..... The opportunity was golden!" The smile suddenly faded off her face. "I've been spending way too long stuck on a boat with you people! Your lunacy is starting to rub off on me!" Her face looked serious, but her eyes showed mirth.

       "I don't know if that's a bad thing." Leo pointed out. "You could be like Octavian and take pleasure in ripping the heads off stuffed animals."

       "True." Piper nodded solemnly. "Or we could be sleep deprived. Laughing can sometimes be a sign of sleep deprivation."

        "Your probably right." Leo said. "I was going to do some pranks of my own, but now that I'm thinking about it, It's probably not a good idea."

          "Pranks like what?"

     "Well I was going to dye all of Franks clothes hot pink. Take Jason's armor and paint big flowers all over it. Set a paint bomb to explode the next time Percy lays on his pillow. You know, classics."

       Piper smiled. "I don't think it's a bad idea at all!"

       "Huh?" Leo asked.

        "We could all use some laughter at the moment. What better way to make someone laugh than a prank war?"

       "Your serious, right? This isn't some gag to get my hopes up?"

       "Not at all! No monsters are attacking everybody's gone. Me and you just need to come up with a plan!" Leo couldn't believe his ears.

        Leo and Piper spent four hours coming up with gags and setting them up. When they were done the ship was a total war ground: Sprinklers, fireworks, horrible smelling gas, paint bombs, the whole nine yards."This is going to be epic!" Leo said.

        "Yeah, unless Gaea kills us before we can enjoy it."

          "What is wrong with you Piper? One minute your rolling on the floor laughing, next your helping me set up pranks? Either you've hit your head, or Gaea has finally driven you insane."

          "Probably the last one. Anyways me and you should get some sleep."

           "Who's going to guard the ship?"

         "Festus can do it."

         "I'm not sure if that's a good idea Piper." Leo was really starting to get concerned. Piper was acting not like "Piper." And just for a second, Piper's eyes flickered to gold. That's when Leo knew; Piper's eyes changed colors all the time, green, blue, brown, but not gold. The only person he had ever seen with gold eyes was Hazel. Though according to the others, his eyes turned gold when he was possessed by the eidolons. The only difference between the eidolons and whatever was inside Piper was that the eidolons knew how to blend in with there host. The thing inside Piper was horrible at being Piper.

           "Piper, what's your favorite color?"

           The not so Piper looked confused, "Pink?" She said, like she was asking herself the question.

       "Hmm, I see. What's your favorite band?"

       She looked so confused it was funny. Ignoring the fact that something was possessing one of his best friends, of course. "One Direction!" She squeaked out.

         "Yeah....... Who are you really? Just cut the act out now, we both know your not Piper."

          "Why should I tell you!" The not so Piper said defensively.

        "Because I'll turn you into barbecue if you don't!"

        "Alright! My name is Mormo. Former servant of Hecate and the nightmare that haunts heroes dreams!"

        Leo burst out laughing. He had heard about Mormo, but not from camp. His mother had told him about Mormo. Mormo was was a vampire like creature that supposedly bit bad children in there sleep. An old wives tale greek women use to tell there children to make them behave. "M-M-Mormo?" He giggled. "Nightmare of heroe's? More like the Boogie Man or Girl of ancient greece!" He laughed again. "I'll give you kudos on the job with the mist, but really.  Where is the real Piper?"

         Mormo growled and shifted forms. Her hair was a dark greasy black, and her skin was wrinkly and pale. Black talons sprouted from her finger tips and fangs tinted green appeared in her mouth. And instead of Piper's eyes, Mormo's eyes were the color of blood. And worst of all black leathery wings sprouted from the back of her emaciated figure.

       "Prepare to die, son of Hephestus!" She screeched.

        Leo didn't find Mormo so funny anymore. He REALLY needed to find Piper before this fight went south.

     Before I get to the important matter let me just say that this wasn't my best chapter. I haven't really written a Leo chapter before and I need to get the feel of the character before I can write a descent chapter in his/her POV. So there will be more Leo chapters and they will be much better than this one. Sorry guys! I hope you liked it a little bit! Anyways this doesn't have anything to do with this story, but another story! Not one of mine though! This story is by dagman17 its called "Percy Jackson, Primordial god of Powers, Swordsmanship, Energy and Elements" For all of you who like Chaos stories this one is AMAZING! Also Hunter72 has a great after the war story called "Heroes of Olympus: After the War" All of you Leo Valdez fans will love it! Normally I don't recommend stories, but these are really good! Check them out! I hope you liked this chapter (even though it was the epitome of bad). Sincerely,
