The Forbidden Daughter

"Leo! How did the fire burn you?" Hazel gasped. Leo was silent, but there were tears in his eyes. He had never been burned before, and the fire had burned his whole hand. He couldn't feel it. They waited, but Leo didn't move.

Percy went and got some water, but it didn't help. Annabeth tried to wrap it up, but that didn't do anything either. Frank even turned into a small lizard and climbed onto his shoulders to try and chear him up. Nothing helped. Finally, when Leo did talk, he said something they didn't want to hear.

"Go, I'll be fine. Just shock. Go explore, I'll catch up later." Slowly, one by one they left to explore. Soon, Leo fell asleep. He was awoken with someone standing above him. He almost screamed for help. It was Nichole.

"Leo, don't freak. I am just trying to help." She said, holding out both her hands. He lifted up his hands,wait, hands? His burnt hand was wrapped up in this type of grease and Nichole had more in her hands.

"Now can you let me finish?" She said. Leo held out his hand.

"Why did you make us pass out?" He asked.

"The gods told me too. I didn't mean to lose my necklace though." Amazingly, the necklace was around her neck again.

"How did you get it back?"

"Zeus returned it to me."

"Ahh. Do you know why the fire burned me?"

"No. Well, not yet." She said with a weird look in her eyes. Suddenly, Nichole was hanging from the ceiling with gems holding her in place, water biding her hands, and a bunch of other stuff.

"Guys wait! Don't hu-" Leo tried to say, but everyone swarmed around Nichole and threatened to hurt her. He noticed duct tape covered her mouth.

"Why are you here?"

"What do you want with us?"

"Why were you touching Leo?"

Those were just some of the questions that bombarded Nichole. As they kept talking, he looked and saw that she was scared. Nichole was shaking and the eyes were closed. He thought he heard her whimper a bit.

"Guys. Guys. GUYS!" He yelled.

"What?" Everyone replied.

"Let her down."

"Are you crazy? She was going to kill you?" Frank said, pointing a very very sharp stick at Nichole.

"At least let her speak."

"No, no. She will make us pass out again." Piper argued.

"She might even make us forget each other!" Jason said.

"Just please, trust me. She won't."

"Are you sure?" Percy asked.

"Yes." Leo answered. Percy and the others talked in whispers. Then, Nichole dropped to the floor. She still had her eyes closed, but she stopped shaking. They waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, Nichole said something.

"I'm so sorry."
