Delia

Delia was shaken hard by the fact that Kat and her were so close. Well obviously they were close cos they were twins but that their empathy link was so deep left her really shaken up.

She taught sword class but she really just went through the motions. Afterwards she sat by the lake, waiting for Leo to call. The message came mid-afternoon.

"Lia?" Leo called. He looked horrible, like guilt was eating him from the inside, out.

"Leo? What's wrong?" She asked him, concerned.

A big asian guy spoke from behind him. "Well your 'boyfriend' here may have just gotten you killed!" He spoke the words with contempt.

"Leo, what's he talking about? And who is he?" Delia asked, more confused than ever.

"This is Frank, he's one of the seven, a child of Mars." Leo avoided the first question.

"Frank, can you give us a minute?" Leo asked the big dude.

"Uh, uh." Frank shook his head. "Annabeth asked me to watch you."

"Frank, please?" Delia pleaded. "I'll keep an eye on him and I'll call out if he does anything more stupid then he normally does. I give you my word as a goddess!"

"Goddess?" He raised an eyebrow. "Ugh, fine! I'll be with Festus." Frank walked out of earshot.

"Now can you tell me what he meant?" Delia asked softly.

Leo nodded and took a shaky breath, close to tears. "When the others were down with the Romans, I was meant to be showing some creep around the ship and suddenly I lost control of my body, like someone else had taken the wheel up there." He tapped his head. "I started firing on the Romans and I tried to stop I just couldn't control my movements, no matter how much I wanted to. Then- then they attacked the others and now Jason's unconscious. He might be dead because of me! And now the Romans are going to come after you, after camp. And it's all my fault." Tears were openly flowing down his face.

"Hey, it's not your fault! You weren't in control, you said it yourself! This was destined to happen, whether we like it or not. Jason will be ok, he's got a tough head, and we? We can take care of ourselves. Personally, I'm immortal! And as long as I'm standing, the camp will be too. I won't forget my promise, you'll have a camp to come home to!" She assured him, meaning every word.

He laughed wryly. "And I'll make sure I come home to you. Love you, goddess."

"Love you too, Repair Boy." She smiled. "Message me tomorrow when you get a chance. I'll go pass the message on to Chiron. It looks like it's time to visit Rachel again."

"Bye, miss you." He grinned, almost back to his usual self.

"Miss you too." She grinned back, waving her hand through the image.

She ran to see Chiron, two lots of problems she had to deal with in one day? Tyche must be upset with her.
