I was woken up again because I heard arguing. I barely opened my eyes to see Percy, Leo and Annabeth arguing about Cyclops. I pretended that I was still asleep to listen. "... I just don't get it, Annabeth. If Tyson was deadly, then he would've killed us all by now and joined Luke on the Princess Andromeda." Percy was saying. "I agree with you, Percy. Besides Tyson is too nice to be a Cyclops that kills. Plus, he's talked to Leena alone plenty of times, and they trust each other." Leo said. "Fine, but if he kills us then I blame you guys for getting me to trust him." Annabeth stated frowning.  So they were arguing about trusting Tyson for him being a Cyclops. Wow just wow. I acted like I was just waking up; sat up and stretched. "Guys, what the heck is that?!" I panicked  pointing at something rising in the water. They looked to see where I was pointing and stared. More of it were appearing and circling around us and farther away like an opening or something. "Tell me those aren't sharks." Annabeth said staring at them as well. "Those aren't sharks." Percy said. "Paddle!" He commanded. Kinda hard to paddle with 5 people in a small raft, just sayin'.

I was behind Percy, Leo was behind Annabeth and Tyson was controlling the back to shift the way the raft was going. "Its Curiptive!" Leo said. "Curip- what?!" Tyson said. "She guards the Sea of Monsters." Annabeth answered as the raft began to capsize. "Hold on!" Percy advises grabbing the rope as we all did the same. Then I felt something snake around my waist and realize it's Tyson's arm. Jk jk. It was Percy's arm. Aw the protectiveness❤. Then we are falling into a giant mouth. There is a sentence I never thought I'd say. I screamed as the raft is falling and into the giant mouth of Curiptive and I bury my face into Percy's shoulder in dear fright. I close my eyes tight as the raft bounces and then finally stops in more water. I open my eyes and slowly lift my head from Percy's shoulder. I was about to ask where we were at but I stopped myself for 2 reasons. 1 it's a stupid question. 2 my throat is dry and I'm still terrified of what just happened. Then we all heard yelling of someone that sounded familiar. It sounded like Clarisse. We all stood up and got out of the raft to see if we were right. We rounded a corner our theories were confirmed; Clarisse La Rue was ordering zombies to fix her ship.

"CLARISSE!!!!!!" I yelled hoping to get her attention. The others followed and started yelling as well. After 10 minutes of yelling her name she sent a zombie guard out to get us. Although I never got along with her, this was a good time for her to be here. "So, what are you 5 doing here?" Clarisse asked doing her captains work as we followed. "Same as you." Leo said slightly glaring (A/N: Is that even possible?) at Clarisse. "To save Camp? Never would've guessed that Jackson, Wise Girl, One Eye👁 and you two were up for a quest." She commented. "Hows that engine going?" She asked one of her mates. "Still not operational, captain. We need a highly good interior re-" I cut him off. "I can do it. I'm great at interior repairs." I said. All the zombies and Clarisse looked at me as I got out my tool box. "Oh okay then. Follow me." A zombie said motioning me to come forward. I nodded and followed him to the boiler room. I saw their problem as I examined the under part of the engine. 5 of their cylinders needed replacing. Good thing I packed them.

~Percy's P.O.V. cause... Idk 😅😂~

I watched Leena head to the boiler room with one of the zombies. Everything is perfect about her. The way her pixie-cut hair bounced as she walked. The way she laughs. Her eyes and how the twinkle with mischievous plans. Her smirk or inocent smile. The way she can calm a person down when they're ticked off. I'd hate to sea her upset. I was snapped out of my thoughts about Leena when Tyson said, "She likes you, ya know." I stared at him in disbelief. She wouldn't like me. I'm Percy Jackson and I always cause trouble. Last summer I was blamed for taking Zeus' lightning bolt ⚡ when Luke actually took it. "No she doesn't. She's... perfect. I on the other hand cause so much trouble. Remember the school year?" I added. He shuddered at the thought. He was bullied every day in school. Before he could reply I heard the noise of Leena's toolbox getting louder. Then she reappeared with oil smudges all over her face, hands and pants. "What happened?" I asked her as she knelt down to put her toolbox away in her backpack. "Cylinder change was needed." She said simply while grabbing a cloth and wiping the oil off her. 

"And, as I can tell, cylinder changing can be messy." I commented as she stuffed everything in her backpack and stood up. I noticed she still had some oil on her nose so I grabbed a cloth I had in my pocket incase of I start bleeding from fights or whatever. I plucked up the courage to tell her but, Gods I'm such a chicken🐓. Ya know if Tyson's right about Leena liking me, then I'm lost. What does she sea in me? That I'll never know. "Leena, you've still got some oil on you." I told her. She thought I was talking about on her cheek cause she wiped 1 and asked, "Did I get it?" I shook my head. "Hang on, I'll get it." I said bringing my hand up to wipe the oil off. "There. Now it's all off." I said double checking. "Thanks Percy." She said hugging me. I hugged back happily. "Welcome Leena." I replied ruffling her hair to mess it up more. But to be honest, there really was no difference.

We broke apart due to the water rocking the boat. Leena panicked and grabbed my hand. I made no comment on this action. She's scared so I'm gonna be the brave one of this situation and let her cling on to me. Oh Gods that sounds creepy 👻. Anyway this weird thing on the other side of the stomach consuming anything it could. What the? Clarisse started barking orders for her men and the others to go below deck but I had an idea. "Leena,  go below deck and stay with Leo." I said. "No! I can't leave you, Percy. I can't lose you too." She said with tears brimming her creamy chocolate brown eyes. I shook my head. "No, Leena, listen to me, you'll be safer with Leo below deck." I told her but she didn't listen. Then she hugged me and started crying. "Please, Percy." She pleaded. I had a knot in my throat so I nodded. She let go of me and I grabbed her hand as we went to the top of the ship to shoot Curiptive's insides. When the ship started I started to shoot all around the stomach.

The next thing I know the ship is floating upwards. I moved away from the control panel and next to Leena, who was far away from the windows as possible. A window started cracking from water pressure and Leena squeaked in fright. She blushed from embarrassment ☺but I found it cute. Leena started breathing fast as a window started cracking more and started to talk very fast in Spanish. Since I didn't know what she was saying at all, I just soothed her down like I did when she had her nightmare about Jake. "Hush mi amor. It'll be alright. We're nearing surface." I told her. Now I know that mi amor is Spanish for my love, but it's all I know along with some other basic Spanish words. She noded and laid her head on my chest. I could tell she was getting tired becasue she was trying not to close her eyes. When we reached the surface she was already asleep. I managed to get her sleeping self and myslef below deck and on a bed. We sat down against a wall and as she slept I could've sworn I heard her mutter my name. I got up, slowly, and tucked her in. Before I left her, I took one more look at her as she slept. 

When I got to the others they were wondering where Leena was. So I told them about what happened and they relaxed but Leo INSISTED he check on his sister. I now know why Leena is sometimes annoyed with him. So I lead him to the room that Leena was sleeping in. He looked satisfied but then we heard a scream. We burst through the door and Leena was shaking, sweating and sobbing hysterically. "Leena what happened?" I asked her trying to calm her down. "I was in a house and Leo was with me. Then dramatically Leo dropped dead. I heard a voice saying that I killed him along with mom, Jake and Jordon. It also said that I have a choice to either join Luke and destroy Olympus or stay with you guys and be killed by Luke." She explained. I felt rage to Gaea. Why does she torture Leena like this? I rubbed her back in a soothing manner as Leo was leaning against a wall with his hand on his forehead. "My Gods." Leo murmured. "Percy, should we tell her?" He asked. "Tell me what?" Leena asked narrowing her eyes at Leo 😑.

I nodded to Leo. "Leena, you know how we're the children of Hephaestus?" He asked. Dude really? Leena nodded with a look of confusion on her face. "Leena, when children of Hephaestus are born they look for the most powerful ones 🔥x30. Mainly the females children. While you were on the Princess Andromeda they were trying to recruit you to their side to help aid Kronos. When Annabeth warned you to not look at the sarcophagus, she was trying to save you from going to their side. So, if a child of Hephaestus goes to Kronos, he uses them to kill. To make sure no one interferes with their plans. When we thought you went to their side, we thought they were gonna use you to kill us." Leo explained. Leena looked as though she WAS gonna kill someone. She wiped out her dagger and stabbed the wall. What the heck? She got up and went for her backpack to get something. Leena grabbed her MP3 Player and left the room without saying another word. "That went well." Leo said. I looked at him like boy come on >_>. I followed Leena. She needed to talk about this. If I have learned anything from begining of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is that you can't keep feelings bottled up and R.I.P. Sirius Orion Black. You are deeply missed.

I found Leena near the back of the boat. "Hey." I greeted casually. She blinked and looked down. "Hi." She greeted unhappily. "What's the matter?" I asked her taking her hand in mine. She sighed and said, "That's why Luke's men went after me. To get me to join them. It's why Luke tried to persuade me to go against you guys." Her voice was cracking near the end and she was trying to wipe away her tears that were slowly falling. "Leena, if you went against us, I would do anything to get you back. I know who you are. You're a brilliant person who knows what they want to do with their life." I told her trying to cheer her up. She nodded but still stared out into the sea. I got an idea that would cheer her up. I used my water abilities and commanded the water to form a water dolphin above the water🐬.  She gasped in delight. She reached out to touch him and she cracked a smile. The dolphin tried to get her on his back. "He wants me to ride him. Is that even possible?" She asked me. I nodded as I got on. With her behind me. "Hold on." I advised her and she wrapped her arms around my torso. We rode the dolphin for a while and she was laughing from how awesome it was.

"There's the laugh I was looking for." I said as we followed the ship which was going the right way to a deadly Cyclops named Polyphemus cave where the Golden Fleece was. She giggled as the ship was docking. "Can we name him?" Leena asked as we got off the dolphin. "Sure, but may I ask why?" I asked her. Leena only shrugged. "I dunno. But his name shall be Percy Jackson Jr. in honor of you." She said. I grinned at that. "I like it." I said playfully hugging her as 'The Other Me' swam away. Leena hugged back and smiled. We went to find the others hand-in-hand🤝 when Leo found us he said, "There you guys are! Leena, your stuff below deck. What is in here?" She smirked. "My stuff." She said gracefully slinging on her backpack with ease. Tyson handed me my backpack soon after.

~Leena's POV~

The 6 of us went through an old abandoned amusement park to find Polyphemus, a deadly Cyclops, and Grover. We looked around the place. "The Cyclops lives here?" I asked everyone. Gods, being the youngest by a year does kill ya. Oh crap, I forgot tell you! I was born on the DAY after Leo's birthday, a YEAR and a DAY after he was born🗓. Yeah, kinda funny since people think we're twins. But like to call ourselves twins just to confuse the heck outta teachers. "Yeah. It was to lure Half-Bloods and Satyrs." I heard Annabeth say. I nodded. Place is so old and run down it looks like it came from a horror movie. I tripped over something and scraped my ankle. "Ow!" I said getting up all the same. Thankfully Leo didn't hear me nor did Percy. Suddenly I was held back by an outstretched arm further. I looked at Tyson, who was forcing me back, and gave him a quizzed look.

The others got in the object... while Tyson kept trying to force me away from the car thing. "Tyson, let me go." I said. "He shook his head. "I can't let you, Leena, it's too dangerous for you." He said. I stared at him in disbelief. "After all we went through on this quest, you stop me from trying rescue Grover?!" I asked him. "What sense does that make, Tyson? I'll tell you what, none! It makes no sense at ALL. Remember the Curiptive? Oh and how about that mad cab? Oh I got one, when I was captured and taken to the Princess Andromeda?" I snapped. "I'm sorry, sister, but you can't-" he started but I cut him off by getting in next to Percy and ignoring him. The cart moved down slowly to the cave where Grover was. Or wasn't. When we stopped and got out of the cart we all set our backpacks outside of the door and made our way in. Since me and Leo were the masters of stealth, we made the 1st movements and motioned when the the others should move or not. "It's been two days!" I heard Polyphemus roar.

Grover came into view and I saw him in a wedding dress!!! I turned away and collapsed into a silent fit of giggles. Oh my Gods, Grover!!! Percy whisper shouted to get his attention as I was on the ground dying of laughter. As I forced myself up to stop laughing my heart and lungs were on fire. I wiped my tears of laughter away from my face. Me and Clarisse took our phones out and took a picture. "Hey, do NOT let that go viral!" Grover said. "Oh, I'm not, I'm just making this my screensaver." I said trying not to burst out laughing. Clarisse said nothing. "Did you find a way to get the Fleece off of him?" Annabeth asked. "You think I'd still be wearing ThIs if I did?" Grover asked fiercely. Leo and Percy explained the plan, I was still dying but I was listening, and we all got into position. I had the WORST position; behind Polyphemus. Dear Gods if I die, make sure Leo doesn't get my stuff.

On the signal I would run up a boulder, jump and grab the Fleece and RUN. Best part of the plan: Run while being chased by Polyphemus, a Cyclops who eats Half-bloods. Leo gave the signal and I did it. Surprisingly without a fail. I was running and running jerking on corners to try and lose him. I tossed the Fleece to Annabeth who threw it to Clarisse but it was caught by Polyphemus. If we weren't in danger I would laugh. Percy side flipped or something and grabbed the Fleece from Polythemus' back then started running. Percy tossed it to Clarisse who caught it who threw it to Tyson. Who tossed it to me. Then Grover jumped and kicked a rock making a chandelier fall which happened to land on top of my leg. "Guys!! My leg, its stuck!!" I yelled as Percy came helped me from under the chandelier. We made our way out, with the Fleece in my right hand and my left arm/ hand was over Percy's neck. Tyson made the giant thing that held the boulder stay in place secure and backed away slowly as Polythemus' yells grew softer and soon were no more.

"We rocked that quest." Grover said I managed to bandage up my ankle to keep my from falling and stand properly. I just realized something, HOW AM I THE ONLY ONE GETTING INJURED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! "Yeah we did. I didn't think you guys had it I  you." Clarisse said. We all grabbed our backpacks and slung them on our backs when we heard a voice. "Yes well, we must thank you." I felt a sharp pain in my head. Luke. I screamed in pain. Clarisse and Grover looked shocked and worried. But Percy, Leo and Annabeth looked alarmed. We all turned to face Luke and his men. "I'll take that." He added nodded to the Fleece in me and Percy's hands. "I don't think so." Percy said sassily. I came up with a nickname for him: Persassy Jackson. "Suit yourself." Luke said grabbing an arrow shooter and pointed it to Percy. Realization hit me harder than the chandelier. I stepped in front of Percy. "No." I stated firmly despite the pain my leg and my head. "Ah, Luteinit Valdez, back for us are you?" He asked. "I'd never work for you!! I'm-" I screamed again as the sharp pain came back worse than ever. I collapsed to the ground and landed on my hands and knees somehow getting myself a bloody lip. I looked up at Luke again straight in the eye. "I'm with my brother and my friends. I'll do want I want 'cause this my life, but I'll never work for Kronos!!! I'm not your luteinit, Castellan, I'm your enemy." I said boldly, with blood dripping, getting back up standing in front of Percy once more. "Oh well. Two more for Hades." He said pointing the arrow shooter at the two of us.

Tyson glanced at us and jumped right as Luke fired. He turned to face us as we looked back in horror. "You'd do it for me. Both of you." Was all he said be fire he started falling backwards. "NO!!!" Me and Percy said together rushing to the edge of the cliff, but we were too late. His body splashed in the waters below and that was it. No more Tyson. I just cried as me and Percy sat there transfixed on the spot Tyson was previously standing on. "I never apologized. I didn't have the chance to call him brother again." I said as Percy said, "I never called him 'brother'." I looked away from the river and laid my head on Percy's shoulder and just cried. I witnessed the death of my 2nd best friend right after we had an argument. I lost Tyson and Jake. "You know it didn't have to end this way, luteinit." He told me picking up the Fleece. "I'm not your luteinit, Castellan. I'm a defender, not a monster." I said refusing to look at him.
