"Leo! Leo it's us! Calm down!" We all kept yelling. Leo's arm were on fire and his eyes looked wild as ever. He kept throwing fire balls at all of us asking about Festus and where Calypso was. About three beds were already on fire and four campers were hurt by his flames. Jay ran in through the door with Zack by his side. Jay instantly began to turn the fires off. He was having a conversation with Zack but was to far to hear. Then Zack's expression became scared. Nico ran up to them. I was attending the hurt campers while trying to control Leo. Then Nico came up to me with Zack.
"Zack can help." He said. I looked at them.
"What do you mean? Zack can't get close enough to sleep him. He'll get hurt." I was trying to multitask but I had to concentrate on keeping everyone safe from Leo.
"My dad is Morpheus right?" Zack began. I nodded. "Morpheus is the God of dreams. He was also known to change his appearance and form. If he could do it. There's a chance that I could too. Trick Leo into seeing what he wants to see." I thought it over for a moment. It seemed like a good idea.
"How do you know it'll work?" I asked.
"Because I think that I've done it before. Long story, but I think that I have. And I want to try now." Then without me approving Zack walked up to Leo.
"Zack!" I yelled after him. Leo turned his attention to him.
"Stay away! Where's Calypso?! What have you done with her!" Leo kept yelling. I saw Zack's image change and glow. What I saw wasn't the infirmary. I was looking at me. I was sitting on the front porch of a beautiful house with Nico sitting next to me. I knew this too well. I've had this dream so many times before. It was my dream life. Me and Nico on our own. With no monsters, no quests, just us. Then the image changed. Leo was on the ground sleeping and Zack was next to him passed out. I looked around. People looked like they were just waking up. They looked happy for moment.
"What? What happened?" I asked Nico. He looked like he had been crying.
"Um.. I think Zack's magic worked too well. He didn't just show Leo what he wanted to see. He showed all of us what we wanted to see." That explains the dream. Then I reacted.
"Oh crap. Zack." I ran up to him and picked him up. His pulse was weak. His skin was blue again. Then the doors opened and in ran Calypso and Lance followed by Janet, Jason, and Piper.
"What happened in here?! Where's Leo?!" Calypso demanded.
"Leo had a meltdown. He was throwing fireballs here and there. Zack came in and had to calm him down. But I think that Zack abused his power a little too much." Calypso ran to Leo. Then Lance ran next to me.
"Zack! Oh my gods. Is he going to be okay?" He asked. He had tears in his eyes. I checked his pulse again. I gasped. Then I checked again.
"I-I.. I can't find a pulse." I carried Zack into a bed. After a couple minutes of force feeding him ambrosia and nectar the best that I could, I took him to his private room. I kept checking his pulse but nothing changed. I still couldn't find one. Janet was off in a corner sobbing on Jay's shoulder. Jay was had Chris sleeping on his lap. Chris had cried himself to sleep. Lance was holding Zack's hand crying yelling at him to wake up. Piper was sitting next to him trying to calm him down. I walked out of the room and slumped into the floor next to Nico who was silently crying.
"He's.. Gone. Isn't he? I can feel his presence gone. But with Leo... I.." He went back to crying.
"Yeah. He is." I put my arm around Nico and pulled him closer to me. I shut my eyes. I saw me and Nico on the porch again. This time I saw a little kid sitting I between us. He was talking and using his hands to describe something. I saw that me and Nico were laughing with the young boy. I called out. I asked for the kids name. No one responded me. Then I turned around saw Zack standing there. Looking at the scene. He couldn't talk. He was crying. Then he smiled, mouthed goodbye and dissolved. He was gone.
