The Mark of Athena

Chapter 5

Appreciated all the subscribers and/or story alerts! I am going to warn you ahead of time, people will die but no one super duper important, got it? Okay and review people, it encourages me and I kind of wrote the third chapter in like 2 hours so that’s my reason Chrysolithus. And don’t worry Percy is his good old self throughout the rest of the story. This is all Leo, great huh? Enjoy and review!

Disclaimer: So let me state the obvious, I don’t own anything, I'm just a fan who is mad at Riordan for taking a year to write the book so the next best thing is this, got it? All rights go to Rick Riordan!!!

Leo

                Leo was the happiest person on earth. Percy Jackson, Leo’s hero, liked him. They had the same sense of humor, what more could you ask for? So when Percy was abducted by a bunch of gods Leo freaked as well as everyone else. It was almost like his mom all over again but without the guilt. Once Percy got back the meeting finally took place. Things went wrong but Beauty Queen fixed everything up in a jiffy.

Jason was so mad it was hilarious. His face flushed red the moment Piper volunteered. The meeting proceeded and once again Leo was dumbstruck, a loss at words. Even the rest of Camp Half-Blood was surprised at Percy’s achievements. He couldn’t wait to hear about all his other adventures. Besides the fact of Percy, Leo had girl troubles. Wait what, me and girl troubles don’t go together. This is so not my area. Well okay I did flirt with a few Romans including Reyna but that’s just me!

                Leo had to admit there were some cute girls at the camp but at Camp Jupiter there was a variety. Okay so his attempts went terrible but at least he tried. When Leo got a good look at Reyna, Leo was in love yet again. She was beautiful, also very intimidating, that just made Leo love her more. Piper commented how she was way out of his league but Leo ignored her.

Leo wasn’t the only one checking someone out. The girl named Hazel, one of the seven that would be going to Rome with them, stared at Leo every few seconds ever since he got off the ship. She was pretty Leo had to agree, with dark curls around her shoulders, shining gold eyes, and warm cocoa skin, but she obviously was with the Frank dude. He had an Ares build but a baby face. He was one of the seven too. And he always glared at Leo. Jealousy is just what they needed on the Argo II.

Leo was sleeping peacefully until an ice cold wave hit him, waking Leo up with a start. Apparently Leo wasn’t the only one disturbed from his sleep. Frank and Jason were shivering, completely drenched. Leo warmed up easily by setting himself on fire. Frank was so scared he jumped away. Jason was giving a death glare to someone in the doorway. Percy was standing there with a goofy smile plastered on his face. Leo laughed quietly receiving Jason's glare.

“Come on guys we have to eat breakfast then leave. The only Romans who are coming will be Frank and Hazel. The girls are already dressed.” With that Percy left.

“Wow he seems happy today. Even more than when he saw Annabeth.” Frank retorted.

“Well it’s probably because we’re going back to Camp Half-Blood, everyone loves him there.” Jason said.

“No kidding, they praise him like he’s a god!” Leo added.

“Like you?” Jason asked a smile playing on his lips.

“Yeah-wait hey!” Leo yelled.

Jason and Frank laughed as they all got dressed. Soon they were on their way to the breakfast place. (A/N: Can’t remember the nameJ) by the time they sat down with all their friends, people were already leaving. Jason caught up with some old friends. Once in a while they would say something to Percy sharing an inside joke. Jason looked like he was forcing a smile when that happened but Leo knew better. I wonder what my and Percy’s first inside joke will be about….Reyna decided to sit by herself at the praetor’s table and looked at Percy with a longing.
