Chapter 5: Red Eyes

Leo S: *wraps arm around Alana*

Ally: :D

Alana: *leans on Leo's shoulder*

Ally: Let's start :D LEOLANAAAA

Martin: Dam the word count is cool

Ally: Yeap

Eli's POV

I paced around in the Zeus cabin. Hopefully Leo and Alana are ok, please let them be ok.....I couldn't bear the pain if Leo died, but if Alana died, I need to see him broken everyday, the fire in his eyes gone, which was equally as awful. They had to get out of there alive. Both of them. They just had to. Leo loved Alana more than anything or anyone in the world. He cared about her more than he cared for me or Ally. Not that I was against that, at least he still cared about his duties and his family and friends. It was 2 am, but I couldn't sleep. I was worried sick about Leo. I tried contacting Harry and the rest, but I kept losing connection. I tried Iris Messaging but I couldn't get connection. My stomach growled loudly. I didn't eat or drink all day, but I didn't care. Only Leo and Alana were on my mind. I tried to distract myself by playing Five Nights at Freddy's 2, which was the best among all 3 of them, but I kept getting jumpscared by The Marionette, GF(Golden Freddy) and Chica. I threw my phone on the bed, knowing I couldn't focus with my worry. Finally, I heard a knock on the door. I practically leapt to the door and opened it. Percy was standing at the door.

"Are they back?! Are Leo and Alana ok?!?" He replied,

"Follow me and you'll find out." He speed-walked to the infirmary and I followed. As I opened the door I saw a body bag with a body inside it, and next to it was Alana, crying and clucthing a hankerchief. Eve, Striker's girlfriend, and Igor were tending to her wounds. Realization hit me like a wrecking ball.

Leo S: I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALLLLL
Eli: >.<

Ally: I NEVER HIT SO HARD IN LOVEEEE

It hit me hard. I wanted to just curl up and die in a corner, and speeden up the process by self harm. Leo..........he was gone.

"I'm sorry Eli." I didn't reply as I walked over to the bag and unzipped it. Leo lay there, his eyes blank and a hole in his chest. Tears welled up in my eyes.

"He wanted you to close his eyes." Alana managed to stutter. I put my hand on Leo's forehead and led it downwards, over his face. When I reached the end, my hand went back to my side. His eyes were closed, never to open again. I was numb with pain. I lost my parents, my father in the Deep Caverns, my mother dead of cancer, my brother, my only brother.....dead......no. I didn't want to bear it anymore. If you thought Jason, that sorry excuse for existence, is my brother, you were wrong. He could have stopped Leo from falling, even before he was in the hole. He could have held Leo back and got Alana out with his powers, but he didn't.

JBV: FOR GOODNESS SAKE, HE TRIED

Eli: HE COULD HAVE SUMMONED ZEUS OR SOMETHING

Ally: ELI CALM THE FUCK DOWN

Eli: YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN MY BROTHER DIED?!!

Ally: AT LEAST STOP SHOUTING

Pain and sorrow. That was all I felt. I was done with life. My eyes went to the table next to him. Ally's dagger and a bloodstained jagged piece of black glass. Igor told me,

"We cleaned him up the best we could." I glanced at Alana, who was still in tears.

"Eli....I'm sorry....." Alana said between sobs. I replied hastily,

"It wasn't your fault." My voice broke at "your" and the tears fell out of my eyes. They landed on Leo's pale cheeks. I stormed out of the infirmary, taking the jagged glass with me. I went to the Zeus cabin and slammed the door. All the Zeus campers were at the Doors or Death, preparing for the war. I was alone. I stared at the piece of glass. Reflected in it was all the pain and sorrow I ever faced in my life. Tears streamed down my face. I raised my right hand, which had the piece of glass in it, and brought the sharpest end down into the back of my left wrist, right into my pulse. I didn't howl in pain, I didn't flinch. I didn't feel the pain. But I didn't care. I dragged the glass, and watched as it cut my skin and ruby red, thick blood sprouted out from the wound. Sastifaction surged in my veins and for once, I understood why Ashley did this. To numb the pain.

"Eli, what the FUCK are you doing?" I turned behind to see Luna. She was standing by the door with her arms crossed. I asked,

"What are YOU doing here? You're a child of Poseidon, not Zeus." She replied,

"I was coming to check on you, and I saw you cutting yourself. NEVER try anything like that again. Leo wouldn't have wanted that, I'm sure." I asked furiously,

"How would you know what he would want?!" She replied cooly,

"I wouldn't have wanted my siblings to hurt themselves if I died." I asked,

"You don't know my pain, Luna, to lose a sibling, esecially if he's the youngest. You don't." She replied,

"I do. Ally's my younger sister. And at least Leo's in Elysium, he's in peace, imagine Ally's fate! She's tortured and poisoned with dark thoughts, about her allies betraying her, never being able to push them away with better ones, all because of a stupid argument!!" I looked at her. Tears were welled up in her eyes, but not falling yet. She continued shouting.

"AND YOU COULD ALWAYS IRIS MESSGAE LEO, IT WORKS IN ELYSIUM, IMAGINE NEVER BEING ABLE TO SEE YOUR YOUNGEST SIBLING AGAIN, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU THAT THEIR LIFE IS A LIVING HELL!! SO DON'T SAY I DON'T KNOW YOUR PAIN, BECAUSE I DEAL WITH TWICE THE PAIN!!" I opened my mouth to ask her something, but she already stormed out of the cabin.

Ally: Calm down sis O.o

Luna: It was my fault our parents died

Anthony: It was

Ally: Shaddup Anty

Anthony: :(

Martin's POV

I sat down near the river, on Ally's and my special spot. Leo was dead. He was dead. I wanted to talk to him, to tell him everything, about Igor being a cancer patient and my feelings for Ally, everything. I was always a second too late. My mother died when I wanted to tell her I was bullied in school, Ally died when I wanted to confess my feelings about her, now Leo died when I wanted to tell him everything. Everyone seemed to go away when I wanted to tell them something. I growled and punched the soil.

"Why does this always happen to me?!" I screamed to no one in particular.

"Martin?" I heard someone ask and turned behind. Anthony was standing there, a few tears in his eyes. I lied,

"Nothing..." He sat down next to me and told me,

"I'm upset about Leo too. But he's in a better place now." I replied,

"I just wanna hit the rewind button so hard, Leo would still be here, Junjie would still be around, Ally would be alive......" My voice broke at Ally's name. I tried to hide it, but I couldn't. Anthony asked me,

"Do you know why we humans have 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 lungs, 2 kidneys but only 1 heart?" I asked him back,

"No, why?" He replied,

"Because the other heart is with someone else, and most people do anything to find the other heart." He paused for a while, then added,

"Ally had yours." I gasped. How did he know I liked Ally?! I asked,

"How did you know?" He replied,

"The way you talked about her. The way you looked at her. How you fussed over her even if she got the tiniest cut, how much you changed ever since she passed away. Your smiles are filled with force. Your eyes have undeniable pain. As you work your ass off, you think of her, and you work to hide the pain. But I kow better. You loved her from the inside and outside, maybe love is an understatment. Your love is pure, unlike the assholes who only want Ally for her reputation or looks. But you don't give a shit about those. You actually care. And I'm totally cool with that. You deserve her, and she deserves you." I looked at Anthony with disbelief. He knew. He frickin knew. The entire time. Was it that obvious? Or was he just really observant?

"Was it only you who knew?" He replied,

"Leo and I saw it, ever since that night, you're broken, incomplete. A piece of you is gone, and that piece is your happiness and your ability to love." I groaned in exparation,

"Yes, I loved her. But she's gone, we can't do anything." He gave me a short but brotherly one armed hug and smiled.

"Things are never as we expect. Now go wash your face and go to the Big House, I'll get some Mist on you if your nose is red." I obeyed and washed my face in the lake a few times before turning to Anthony.

"Do I look ok?" I asked. He replied,

"Your nose is a bit red, nothing some Mist can't fix." He snapped his fingerd and a whoosing sensation overcame me. I went to my phone camera and turned to the selfie camera to check my face. It looked ok with the Mist.

"Come on, we're expected at the Big House, hurry!" We ran to the Big House and came in.

"What took you so long?" Annabeth asked. Anthony replied,

"Couldn't find Marty." We took our places. I glanced at Alana. Her eyes were red, puffy and filled with tears. Her nose was red.

Juvienne's POV

Annabeth waited for silence. When there wad nothing but silence, she started talking.

"As you all know, Leo........moved on." A few sniffs sounded and Nico continued.

"He's in Elysium, and he plans to stay there. Says he's waiting for something. He was a brave man, and he would want us to fight and win this battle against Kronos and the Titans, along with the monsters. So to honour his memory, we defeat Kronos and the Titans." A few sobs and sniffs were heard. Trixie was comforting Alana and Anthony was comforting Eli.

"Harry, what did you find out during the rescue competition?" He replied,

"We found the Titan Koios. He's gaining strength. Avada Kedavra wouldn't kill him, Ron and I tried. And they said they were going to attack the surface once they destroyed Slugterra. And they would kill the Shanes first-" Eli stood up and yelled,

"WELL THEY'RE JUST MOTHERFUCKERS AREN'T THEY?!!" He could have flipped the table if Anthony didn't sleep him.

"Sorry Harry, continue." He nodded and continued.

"They would kill the rest of the Shane's first, and then the Shadow's and the Héroe's. And then they'll get Hogwarts and my family.....and then Ron's......" He cut himself off at that point. Annabeth asked,

"Anyone else?" Hermione replied,

"They're going to the Doors of Death, which is in Slugterra, in the middle of Chillbore Cavern. They said that they'll unleash themselves upon this camp with everything they got." Just then, Aquestrius collasped and Anthomy caught her. She opened her eyes. They were glowing white. When she spoke, a male voice rose from her mouth.

"This is a warning from Apollo to you all. The gods are all imprisioned and I'm the only one to escape. Fight. Stand together, no matter what. I will help in this war to honour my half-brother, Di Sandero Leonardo Shane. They are attempring to revive Gaia and Ouranos. Be careful, stay strong. I shall be at the camp in 2 days." Aquestrius closed her eyes and lay unconscious in Anthony's arms. Just then, an explosion sounded outside. We all rushed outside to find the camp fighting guards.

"Authors!!" Cyan shouted and we went into the battle.

Ashley's POV

Guards ran towards us as the Authors went into the battle. I shouted a battle cry,

"FOR SLUGTERRA!!" And everything else was a blur. I stabbed a guard, punched another, kicked one where the light doesn't shine, used my own dagger to stab one in the head, and Ally's to slash one guard. I saw a guard holding a bloodstained spear and advancing towards Martin. He was held by 10 guards. Just as he went for the stab, I held the spear in place with my gravity and threw it aside. A massive headache hit me. Nevertheless, I taunted,

"Hey asshole!! You must be drunk to mess with my friend!" The guard advanced towards me and took out his mask.

"Ashley?" Heasked.

Aquito was standing before me, his eyes red.

Dark Water red.
