Ok, so here's the thing, I know there has been some fighting about Leo and Calypso at the end of Blood of Olympus. Some people claim that Leo doesn't care about his friends. I do not believe that, I think he knew he had to fulfill his promise soon. So he did, my only problem is that they had an open ending. I'm the type of person who likes endings that are clear about what happened. But, anyways, this fanfic will be based off what might have happened if Leo hadn't set Festus to find Calypso, or if he hadn't met Calypso at all. Plus, if Piper and Jason hadn't passed out when they fell. (Sorry I know I'm changing a lot! :)

Chapter 1

Piper

Piper couldn't believe her eyes. Leo, was setting some massive fireball, she had told Gaea to fall asleep again, and it had worked! But Leo had sacrificed himself. "Leo!" she yelled as her and Jason fell away from Festus. The air up there had been thin, and her lungs screamed in protest as she took away their air to yell, but her best friend was going to die. She felt hands wrap around her waist, Jason. But she was too stressed and scared and worried to even appreciate the gesture.

A comet streaked past her, it sounded like a little girl screaming. Weird. But as it got higher and higher the whole sky exploded into fire. "Leo! No!" She and Jason yelled in union. Suddenly a burst of wind picked them up. They hovered in the air, watching in horror. Somehow Jason had found the strength to hold them up. She tensed up, searching frantically for any sign of Leo or Festus. But nothing appeared.

She felt tears rising in her eyes, she couldn't hold them in. She cried, big fat tears rolling down her cheeks as she thought about Leo Valdez her best friend. Jason gave her a squeeze of reassurance, but she could tell from his body posture that he was upset about Leo. Slowly he lowered them to the ground, as their feet hit the grass Percy, Annabeth, Frank, and Hazel rushed over.

"L-Leo." Percy said grief wrapped around his voice as he uttered the name. Piper wiped the tears off her face, "maybe he survived, he is immune to fire." She didn't believe herself. She bit her lip. "Leo could survive, he could, he is a tough guy." She hated to charmspeak her friends but they needed it, they all looked so grave. Everyone nodded their heads hope lighting up in their eyes. Everyone glanced at the sky, hoping that a bronze dragon would fly down on it's back a scrawny, funny, ADHD demigod ready to crack some jokes. But the sky was clear, except for some clouds.

A few minutes of an awkward silence passed as they grieved. Then Piper glanced up, she saw something, a shape. Hope rose through her, something was falling through the sky, as it got closer she could make out it's shape, a dragon. She couldn't help it, she whooped with joy, it was Festus, he must have Leo or at least his body, they could use the cure to heal him. But Festus was struggling he was loosing altitude despite how many times he flapped his wings. "Frank!" she yelled.

At once another dragon took off flying towards the bronze one. Frank grabbed Festus with his feet slowly lowering it. When Festus hit the ground Piper and her friends ran up, Frank had returned to normal and was gesturing for them to hurry. Piper got their first. She saw Leo, lying against Festus, she quickly checked his heartbeat. As very dull, weak thump was audible. Soon Jason and Piper had got him off Festus and onto the ground. Will had come running along with the majority of the camp. He crouched next to Leo. Checked his heartbeat, examined his leg, which was oddly bent. Then glanced up at Piper, and shook his head. He won't make it. She didn't want Leo to die if she could stop it.

"Try." She said, accidentally using charmspeak. Will nodded and ran off to grab some things. Everyone crouched around Leo, he was unconscious, with a somewhat deep scratch a crossed his chest. Sadness overtook her, just as it did whenever her friends got hurt, she quickly checked his heartbeat again, it was getting weaker. Jason had his hands in his face. Frank was picking at something on the ground, though his shoulders were slumped in a sad way. Percy was holding Annabeth's hand, both looked grave and Hazel squeezed Frank's shoulder to reassure him, though her eyes were big and sad.

Finally, Will came back he was holding some sort of splint, some ambrosia and a bit of nectar. He quickly fed Leo some ambrosia, and splinted his leg. But Piper checked his heartbeat again, it wasn't getting stronger. Will was trying, he was sweating but despite all he did the heartbeat faded away, Leo was dead.

Hey guys! I know it's a sad chapter, the next one will be out real soon, I promise! If you didn't figure it out already Leo is my favorite character. I don't like that I had to...you know...kill him but...well just keep reading if you want to find out what happens to him! :)
