Losing Hope *Leo's Memory Fic* (Discontinued)

The Posideon Cabin

*Leo *

Ah, The Posideon Cabin. Resident for two people. Well, a person and a Cyclops. In normal days, I would've LOVE to come here, make a couple of jokes here and there with the six. But under the circumstances that I'm currently in, all I really want right now is to hide away in a corner and cry my eyes out. That and eating a double cheese burger with fries and a shake.

Not relavent, but I'm hungry!

As we flashed in, my eyes caught sight of Percy and Jason having a pillow fight, Annabeth and Piper both asking themselves 'Why am I dating this one again?' As Hazel and Frank both talked quietly with each other.

In the few seconds of standing there, I realized that if I was with them, I would've watched them in envy. Most likely I would have been working on something random while telling jokes that no one would laugh at. Despite my gloomy mood, I plastered a huge grin on my face. "Man! I really wish I finished that phone I was working on before I came here! I really want to video tape this".

I stood next to Hera, a hand on my waist as my hip sticked out. My grin widened as I saw my friends facial expressions. "Leo!" Piper shrieked. "Hera," Annabeth growled. "Percy!" Percy said before continuing his pillow fight. Yeah...I probably should've seen that one coming. "Leo, get away from her!" Hazel exclaimed while trying to hold Annabeth back.

They do realize that Hera is a Goddess and can kill them, right?

"Yeeeaahhh, um...no?" That came out not the way I wanted to. Hazel, Piper, and Frank tried to contain an angry Annabeth (I shall pray for their lives) while Percy and Jason were making "feather angels". Piper had to charmspeak them so they could realize what was going on.

"Lady Jun-- uh I mean Lady Hera," Jason said nervously as he was plucking away the feather's from his hair. "If I may ask, what are you doing here?" Percy managed to calm Annabeth down as Jason said this.

Hera looked disgusted at the room, most likely hating being in her brother's cabin. "Well," she started, plucking out a feather that had landed on her arm. "You will all be watching Leo's memories. Since he was an infant, to now."

Hmmm, straight to the point. I would've explained why, but that works too I guess.

I expected people to protest, but surprisingly they didn't. I tried not to let that bother me, but it's really hard when your friends since you've stepped foot in this camp didn't seem to mind watching my personal life. Annabeth frowned, "Okay but, why do we need to? I mean what's so special about his memories that there's a need to watch it?" Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.

Ouch, I thought while frowning. That was... harsh and am REALLY trying to not let that get in my head. "I'm the Goddess of marriage, home and family. Leo Valdez hasn't had a real family since he was...since when?" I rolled my eyes and said monotonously, "Eight." I'm starting to think she wasn't listening to my little rant.

Hera nodded her head and continued. "Right. As I was saying, he hasn't had a real family since he was eight. A real family needs to know more about each other!" Surprisingly, Frank spoke up.

"Lady Jun-Hera, I don't know any thing about Leo other than he is very annoying," I smirked. Hm, true. "But real family need to be there for you and love you no matter what. It doesn't matter if we're all different, it only matters that we all trust and love each other. And it's not right to see Leo's memories. When he's ready he'll tell us. It's not like there's much anyway." He mumbled the last part.

I felt guilty. Is this what they all think of me? I love them, I really do. They've been one of the best things that's ever happened to me since I've found Festus! But, I don't trust anyone with my past. It's something that I like to think of as a bad dream.

Keep moving is my motto. Don't dwell on things and don't stay in one place too long. It helps me to stay ahead of the sadness. Yet, I stayed here because this is the only place I can stay. I have friends and siblings who love and care for me. But, I'm scared that if I let someone get too close, I will disappoint them which happens a lot.

I smiled gratefully at Frank to which he nodded his head at me. The six seemed to all agree with him and began to protest as well.

Okay, yeah sure. NOW they want to protest?!

Hera gazed at me with a 'Well? Make them shut up! They are YOUR friends' look. I chuckled, "Guys, thats very cute to see that you care, especially you big guy," I winked at Frank to which he blushed at in embarrassment. "But, I'm afraid I really don't have a choice. As much as I hate it, you'll all be watching my memories."

"What do you mean you don't have a choice?" Percy questioned. "Yeah, Leo you don't have to do this." Jason softly told me. A chorus of 'Leo don't!', 'you always have a choice', 'I want blue cookies' and 'I'll kill Hera' could be heard around the room. I smiled at them.

"I don't have a choice," I firmly said causing everyone to quiet down and look at me in confusion. "What do you mean?" Hazel asked. I looked away from them. "I asked for a favor from Hera one day and in return I swore on the River Styx that she can ask anything from me, no matter what."

Gasps could be heard around the small cabin. Piper, Jason, Hazel and Frank just stared at me in shock. Annabeth's mind was racing 90 mph trying to think of a reason why I asked for a favor from an unfriendly Goddess. Percy munched on some blue cookies as he looked at me in shock as well.

"That was very stupid of you Valdez" a voice said from the corner of the cabin. The hairs on my neck stood up as I realized who the voice belonged to. "Nico!" Percy exclaimed, dropping his cookies so he could great Nico who has been missing since last month. Percy tryed to hug him, but Nico dodged, however he did let Hazel hug him. She cried for a little while then smacked his head for leaving without telling her anything.

"Nico? Where were you and why did you leave?" Jason asked worriedly. Nico shrugged, "Places and non of your business Grace" Nico spat causing everone to flinch. I looked at the ground. I knew where he has been, and it killed me that I couldn't tell Hazel, Jason and Percy. Nico made me swear not to say a thing.

Nico turned his gaze over at me. I shifted my feet and smiled brightly at him. He only glared and said, "So? You got yourself into this Valdez. Are we going to watch your memories or what?"

I slowly nodded my head wondering if he shadow traveled here or Hera transported him. Either way, Nico knows what he's signing up to. "Yeah, Tía? Would you please?"

She seemed annoyed that I ordered her to do something, but did it anyways. "You'll all be watching this on a flat screen TV," she snapped her fingers and a 52" TV appeared with the name 'Heapheasus TV' engraved on the bottom.

"Leo will be asleep the whole time and he'll wake up once it's all over. When you look away from the TV or talk, it will pause automatically. English sub-titles are on and," she looked around trying to figure out what else she's missing. I leaned in and whispered in her ear, "The chains Tía."

"Oh right! How could I forget!" She snapped her fingers once again. All seven where sitting on a chair, their legs had chains wrapped around them. "What is even the purpose of this!" Annabeth growled in anger as she and everyone else struggled amongst their chains. 

Hera just simply shrugged. "Entertainment. Until next time demigods!" And with that she flashed away, back to Olympus. I let out a low whistle. "Well...goodluck! I'm going to bed". I said and climbed on Percy's bed.

I heard Percy snort, "On what? We're just watching your memories. How hard can it be?" I pretended not to hear him as I climbed under the sheets.

Believe me, you won't think that when I wake up. That was the last thought I had before closing my eyes to darkness.

A/N: I swear this story gets better!! My writing sucks, I know that. Honestly, there's not that much excuses for it. I hope you enjoy this chapter anyway!
