My Ending

It's been three days since Nico, Thalia, Grover, and the leopard(Cryst) showed up. Because we don't hake any extra rooms they're staying in the stables.

Cryst is always with Nico. It's kind of weird. When Nico's on the deck so is he(I'm assuming it's a boy). When Nico is eating he lays next to him.

A knock on the door wakes me from my thoughts. "Piper, I was wondering if I could talk to you." Hazel said as she opened the door. She sat on the bed and asked "Do you think that there is something weird about that leopard?"

"Yeah" I relpy "He's always with Nico."

Hazel shrugs "I guess that's weird, but I meant it's eyes. They're so haunted. Like it's seen terrible things. Like it can do terrible things." She takes a shaky breath, "I'm scared of it Piper. I am."

I put my arm around her and whisper "I won't let Cryst hurt you. It's ok." I never noticed Cryst's eyes before Hazel said that. look up up at the ceiling and try to imagine the leopard's eyes. I can't.
