"I TOLD YOU WE SHOUL'VE left here!" Bianca yelled as she stabbed a giant scorpion with her Stygian iron dagger.

"How was I supposed to know we'd get ambushed by a bunch of giant crab things!" Leo yelled lighting one on fire,

"Gods Leo, its a scorpion."

"That doesn't matter-" Leo started before getting hit in the stomach by the scorpions tail, he slammed against the building wall,

"Leo? Leo!" Bianca screamed trying to fight back the other scorpion and check on her friend. Leo was knocked out and Bianca had to fend for herself. She managed to kill one scorpion, only one more left, she thought as some motivation. Bianca knew Leo wasn't dead, or anywhere near it because she was sure she would've felt something. She finally stabbed the last scorpion and ran towards Leo.

"Hey, Leo. Can you hear me? Leo?" she said feeling his pulse just in case.

LEO HATED BEING USELESS HE hated it because he usually was useless. Especially now, being weak and knocked out it made him so mad. His dream was about Piper, he saw Khione with her brothers and Piper all alone with no way to fight back. And then, he woke.

"Leo!" Bianca gasped bringing him into a hug, an action he wasn't too familiar with lately, "You're okay."

"Why wouldn't I be?" he asked, she let out a small chuckle,

"Hmm, not too sure maybe because you got slammed into a wall by a scorpion."

"Oh yeah, the scorpions..."

"Don't worry, they weren't too hard to beat," she said, "I think we better get moving if we don't want any other monsters coming after us."

"Right," Leo said slowly standing up, his head throbbed with pain,

"Sorry, I lost my ambrosia a while back," Bianca said as if she was reading his mind, Leo shrugged it off. This time she focused hard on Greece, they had been sidetracked enough. Then the shadows absorbed them both.

SHE HAD DONE IT, BIANCA finally got Leo to Greece. They were sitting in an open-air cafè then a girl Bianca didn't know rushed over and hugged Leo, she felt uneasy for some reason.

"Leo! Gods, where have you been?" the girl asked him,

'Valdez!' a satyr grinned, "You ever disappear like that again, you little punk, I'll knock you into next month!"

"Bianca." a voice said, she knew before she saw him,

"Nico," she said standing up from her chair, the tension was so thick, they had never been the same since she 'died'. Leo cleared his throat,

"Uh, guys this is Bianca di Angelo, she's the only reason I got back." and after that they did introductions, and she finally met her half-sister Hazel.

Hazel asked the waitress for menus and they all began to eat, all except Nico, he was eyeing tourists.

"Nico," Bianca said,

"What do you want Bianca?" he replied in a harsh tone,

"I can tell you're excited to see me again," she said crossing her arms,

"You have no idea," he didn't even glance in her direction. Bianca decided to abort trying to talk to Nico and sat back down next to Leo.

"Nico doesn't look too happy with you," he marked,

"No really? I haven't noticed." Bianca said sarcastically,

"I'm just saying, it has been a while since you guys have seen each other. Just give him some time." Leo said. Unlike Nico, Leo kept eye contact with Bianca, she smiled a little. Leo always knew how to make her feel better.

"Hey, uh Bianca I have to tell you some-" Leo started but then a voice bellowed,

"I am Alcyoneus, face me children of the underworld!" and Bianca, Nico, and Hazel all pulled out their weapons ready to fight.
