Well, Leo's now public enemy number one.

At first, I was questioning how loyal Percy was to the seven, but seeing as he turned Leo in, he can stay. Will was great, he didn't really know that Leo was captured, but he was still great.

"Wow, I can't believe that actually worked. Jackson was easier than I remember," I heard a female voice. I shadow traveled towards it, hiding behind a bush.

"I know, and Di Angelo already hates Valdez. Chaos will be so happy," piper said.

Hazel nodded, "where's will? He always loved Friday night gossip in ever other reboots,"

Will was in whatever this mess was? And what was this mess? What did they mean 'reboots'?

"Remember, chaos erased his memories this reboot. They fell 'in love' in the earlier versions because Will didn't know he was supposed to," Frank explained.

Me and Will had dated before? And why did he use the little bunny fingers when he said 'in love'?

"Why do we have to keep Valdez and Di Angelo away from each other anyways? It's been so many fails this is getting boring,"

Annabeth sighed, "Because when they are together they start remembering and figuring out the truth about chaos. Last time we only managed to keep them apart for a hundred years, and believe me, that was a total flop,"

"Plus they nearly beat us. That jackson kid has to be on our side though, otherwise we might as well be doomed," frank said.

"I wonder why he hasn't been in the reboots," hazel wondered.

"Didn't exist," piper said nonchalantly, "but I am glad Will got Nico to swear he wouldn't leave. Even if he does get feelings, the river will make him stay and he won't realize it. That river might just save us,"

"Come on, chaos doesn't want us to be caught again,"

Leo was right.

Oh my gods, Leo was right.

Leo Valdez was right and I sent him to die.

Growling, I moved towards the group. "Too late,"

I'm not sure what the rage in me was about. At first I thought I should fight for myself, that I didn't want to be any ones puppet.

Then I thought I should fight for Will. Although chaos might not have been a good person—though technically he's not a person—Will might still be my soulmate.

But thoughts of him drifted away as I thought of Leo. I had let Leo go off to die in the woods because of what chaos told me. Leo wasn't bad, yet I told him to go die in hell.

It was only when the seven were dead on the ground that I realized someone else had helped me kill them.

Two someone's.

My black eyes locked with percys sea green ones, and I looked over at Will who gave me a bright smile.

Percy pat me on the back the way a big brother might do, "I knew you'd come around. Now let's go get Leo,"

I nodded and he lead me further into the woods, taking the lead while me and Will walked side by side, our hands intertwined while we went to find Leo.
