Score for Leo Valdez

Chapter 2- Claimed

LEO P.O.V

'Leo!' Acacia smiled as she ran up to me, 'I thought you weren't coming!'

'Woah, I'm doing it for the marshmallows lady!  

'You look like a machine!' she giggled, which made my heart beat faster.

I run and hand through my greasy black hair and try not to blush. My clothes were torn, I had machine oil in my hair and on my face and I just came out of an explosion. (long story)

Acacia on the other hand, looked perfect. Her curled brown hair was neatly platted and even without make up, she was utterly beautiful..

I sat down, pulled out some wire from my magical tool belt (cool right?) and skewered a marshmallow onto it.

'Marshmallow?' I asked, waving it playfully in her face.

She laughs, it's so clear, like glass bells ringing into the night. She takes it from my hand and roasts it in the fire. 

'I hope I get claimed sooner,' she mutters

'Well...'

I stop mid sentence. Then I realize everyone else is quiet too. Acacia had suddenly transformed, she was wearing a Greek tunic that exposed most of her skin, a complex platted bun decorated with tiny white lilly's and a thick layer of make up on her face. But the most spell bounding thing was, she radiated pink aura.

I stare at Acacia like and idiot.

She turns to me terrified.

'Leo... I'm...'

'Your gorgeous.'

'I'm glowing pink!' she yells in frustration 'What am I... how did this..?!'

She doesn't look happy, she realizes what she is.

'All hail Acacia, daughter of Aphrodite, Goddess of love and doves!' Announces Chiron. And he bows proudly, the rest of us follow his example and do the same.

Most of the children from the Aphrodite cabin don't look to happy, they snicker and mutter among themselves. The rest of us are gaping at her, completely spellbound by her beauty. 

The blessing of Aphrodite someone murmurs.

Acacia looks like she's about to cry. 

She looks at me pleadingly for help. 

But I can't move.

I can't tear my eyes off her.

I'm a jerk.

She covers her face with her hands and runs into the woods, crying.

I finally snap back to my senses and run after her.

'Acacia!' I call into the quiet, gloomy woods.

Acacia..
