Long Way Down

Chapter 3

I walked outside only to be flattened by Leo. I pushed him aside and put my arm against his neck. He put his hands up. "Sorry, don't need to kill me.." He said. I realized what I was doing and I got up fast.
"Sorry, just a reaction." I said. Leo got up and brushed off his jeans. I started walking away but he called my name. I whirled around wincing slightly from my leg. "How do you know my name? I don't even know you. And you look like a Latino Elf by the way." He smirked but it was quickly replaced with a scowl.
"Your literally the most popular person at the moment so everyone knows you." I glared at him and watched him leave. I really didn't like this Leo dude.

"How the frick frack am I even alive!?" I ask Nico as we sat on Half-Blood Hill. So far he was the only person I trusted in this camp. He sighed and leaned back in the grass.
"You know how Athena was born from Zeus's head?" He asked looking up at the sky. I nodded slightly.
"Yes but why does that have to do with anything?!" I said irritated. Nico sat up and looked at me.
"Well, Annabeth is a child of Athena, so that's the most logical explanation for it." I looked at him completely lost.
"But Percy was the one that thought me up, not Annabeth." He sighed loudly.
"Layni, he thought you up but wanted you to be his and Annabeths kid, therefore..." He waved his arm at me. I was still lost but somehow it was starting to piece together. Nodding, I looked down the hill at the cabins. I'm a head baby? The same question came back to me, was I real? I stood up and stretched.
"I'll catch you later, I'm gonna go walk." Making my way down the hill, I looked at the campers giving me weird looks. I just rolled my eyes and stuffed my hands in my pockets walking swiftly. Eventually the campers went back to doing whatever they were doing. I sighed and walked to the lake. It was a really nice day out but I had my sweatshirt on anyway. I sat down in the sand and started drawing in it. I didn't even hear footsteps coming behind me. Leo collapsed beside me and looked out in the water. I was about to get up but I glanced over at him and saw that he had been crying. He chucked a rock into the water and mumbled to himself. "Are you okay?" I asked slowly. He glanced over at me.
"I'm fine." he said glumly.
"Oh yeah sure...it totally looks like it." I said sarcastically. He gave me a quick smirk and threw another rock in the water. "Why are you even over here?" I asked changing the topic. He shrugged.
"I can go anywhere I want. So I came here. Plus you looked like you could use some company." I looked at him.
"You look like YOU could use some company." I teased. He rolled his eyes. "Who's Calypso?" I asked. His expression hardened and he threw a stone into the water harder than the other two times.
"Nobody important." He said almost growling. Leo got up and stormed off. Note to self: Don't bring up Calypso.
