Leo Shane's POV

I paced around in my room, worried sick about Alana. It was like a room at a boarding school, and I shared it with Junjie and Sirius. I couldn't text her, Ally had our phones, and if I sneaked down Ally would send me to the Fields of Punishment or force me to read Twilight or 50 Shades of Grey. Or worse: she might kill Alana. I couldn't stop thinking of Alana, even in Elysium. I would see a woman and swear it was her. Gods, I kept thinking of her ever since we've been together. I was addicted to our love. It was pure torture for me to wake up in Elysium knowing that Alana and I were in different worlds. I couldn't IM her, or contact her in any way, no matter how much I tried. The only reason I decided to endure Ally's hatred for me was to see Alana again, even if it meant I had to endure hardcore training and pain beyond imagination. To imagine myself without her......I dare not think about it.

"She'll be fine, Leo. Calm down." Junjie told me. I asked,

"How?! Ally just attempted to kill her!!" Sirius replied,

"Look, I'm worried about Harry and everyone else too, but if we go insane over it, we'll get sent back. And I want you to see Alana again, I noticed how broken you were without her." Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Open the door or I'll rip it off." Ally's voice threatened. I unlocked the door and opened it. She stood by the door, daggers sheathed and a serious look on her face.

"Training starts tomorrow. Take today to visit your loved ones, blah blah blah. But if you wanna do inappropraite stuff, don't do it in here or you take my punishment. Got it, boys?" We all nodded. She walked away, leaving the door wide open.. I ran down the stairs and out the door. I saw Anthony coming back from the lake and rushed to him.

"Anty, have you seen Alana?" I asked. He replied,

"He's in the infirmary, and I wanna have a word with you later. And you have to see this, follow me." He went to the infirmary and I followed him. He pushed the door open and walked away, back to the lake I suppose. Martin was lying on one of the beds, deathly pale and a huge cut on the left side of his arm. Holy shit, that was big. Alana and Igor were in a conversation whispered voices. Igor looked slightly paler than when I last saw him. Finally, Alana looked towards me.

"Leo." My name escaped from her lips. I didn't know what to do, so I did the stupidest thing ever. I grinned and told them,

"In the flesh." Alana ran and hugged me. I nearly fell backwards. I regained my balance and hugged her back. She was still the same. The same Alana I fell in love with. Her hair hazel brown and glowing blue, her eyes cyan blue and still had the strength and beauty I always saw in them. It seemed like eternity before we let go. Our lips were so close I nearly crashed mine into hers.

"I missed you." I muttered loud enough for only Alana to hear. Our fingers were interwined and tangled together, I wasn't surprised if we couldn't let go. The only reason I wanted to come back and endure the gruesome torture Ally had set out was right in front of me. The only woman who could make me so desperate for just the sight of her.

"Leo, aren't you supposed to be training?" I replied,

"Torture starts tomorrow, I have until tomorrow dawn." Igor cleared his throat and we looked at him.

"Finally, senpai has noticed me."

Ally: LOLOLOL SENPAI

Igor: I didn't know what else to say :P

Leo S: XD

Anthony: What does senpai mean, Ally keeps on calling me that

Ally: *facepalm* Someone older than you

Anthony: :P

Ally: ...

Reality slapped me in the face as I saw Martin on the bed. Alana must have recognised the look on my face, because she informed me,

"Nico told us Ally would never trust him ever again after the fiasco. He got upset and ran to his room. Anthony tried talking to him, but he got pushed out. Then he teleported into his room with Igor just as Martin passed out due to blood loss." I thanked Alana and asked Igor,

"Then why are you so pale?" He replied simply,

"Martin ripped a vein. I have the same bloodtype as him. 2 and a half pints. Didn't eat or drink." My eyes widened in horror. WHY DIDN'T HE FRICKIN EAT OR DRINK? It was super necessary after you did a blood transfer. He could have died!

"Why didn't you drink something, at the very least?! Did you have a death wish?! That's a lot of blood you lost. I know it was to help Martin, but you at least have to drink something!" I scolded. He grimaced and replied,

"I already ate something, calm down. Eli gave me some crackers and a juice box." I took in a few deep breaths and my anger faded. Just then, I saw Martin stir. His eyes fluttered open. As he sat up, he asked,

"What happened..." Igor replied,

"What were you thinking?!?! Self harming when you still have a chance to gain Ally's trust!! AND WITH VITALIS CRYSTAL!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARMFUL IS VITALIS CRYSTAL?!!" That snapped Martin awake. Igor continued shouting.

"AND WE CAN'T HEAL VITALIS CRYSTAL WOUNDS WITH NECTAR OR AMBROSIA, WHICH MAKES IT TWICE AS DANGEROUS!! YOU COULD HAVE BLED TO DEATH!!" Alana and I decided to go out and have some time alone. We went to the woods behind the Zeus Cabin. Once we were convinced we were alone, our lips smashed into each other. I savoured every moment as our lips moved in perfectly against each other, like they were trained all their life for this moment. After what I estimated to be 10 minutes, we broke apart to breathe. Our foreheads touched as we stared into each other's eyes, our fingers woven together, our noses nearly touching.

"I missed you so much...." Alana uttered. I teased,

"I missed you more than you could ever miss me." She smiled and I gave her another short peck on the lips before we lay down on the beautiful, fresh, leaf green grass. I took in a deep breath. It smelled great, and it made me feel great. Elysium was no match for life. I guess that's what makes it so precious. Because it ends.

"So what did I miss?" I ask Alana at last, after minutes of silence. She replied,

"Ashley isn't in depression anymore, and Dementors are on the enemy side." I gasped, dumbfounded. Dementors? ON THE ENEMY SIDE? They had the biggest advantage ever to exist.

"Are you serious?" I asked. She nodded and I frowned, then I smiled again.

"At least Ashley's out of depression. I knew she could do it." Alana asked me,

"Ally's gonna be very harsh tomorrow, you know that, right?" I nodded, grimacing. I didn't want to think about it. Then I smiled again.

"Then we'll make the most of today."

Ally's POV

I was in my room, working on new weapons for the war. It started a few months after my death, which was a year ago. I never thought I would be back. And I didn't want to be. But I had to escape that torture for at least a day. It was beyond agonizing. It's like I've been hit with the Torturing Curse and multiplied the pain by a thousand. And the mental pain.........I don't want to think about it. I just figured our how to hide nunchucks in a handbag so that a girl and take it around and defend herself. The metal chain of the handbag was the mental chain for the nunchucks and if you jerk the chain the bag drops and you have nunchucks.

Ally: Disclaimer! The nunchucks idea was from Taylor Swift's new music video Bad Blood

I also made contact lenses that can make you see the perfect way to hack, access or destory anything that needs technology to function and a ring that can dispense different types of smoke, like Mist, normal smoke, toxic gas, flatulorinkus gas, oxygen, carbon dioxide, poison gas, and a lot more I'm too busy to list. I was working on a locket that would turn into a dagger when I thought I saw the Furies again. I blinked again and they were gone. I dimissed it as a hallucination and continued with my work. Sleep was all I wanted now, but at the same time, what I dreaded. Every time I close my eyes, the nightmares haunt me about my torture. The images I've seen, the kinds of pain I've experinced. The version of Tartarus no demigod mind can possibly handle. When I close my eyes, sanity pounds in my brain, giving me these thoughts, traumatizing me to escape. I forced my eyes open and continue my work.

"Why aren't you seeing your friends?" I heard a voice ask. I snatched my daggers and leapt off the chair. Nico was standing behind me. I told him,

"Because I don't have any, and I have to work on these weapons." I put my daggers down and continued designing the locket.

"You do. Ashley, Cyan, Slugcat, Johnny, Juvienne, Leo-" I interrupted,

"They hate me. And I don't know who Juvienne is." Nico asked me,

"Why don't you get some sleep then, you look more tired than a tribute in the Hunger Games." I lied,

"I'm not tired, the eyebags are from the torture." He stared at me with a bored expression.

"I bet you can't even beat me in a duel without dropping to sleep." He dared. I smirked and got my daggers.

"We can see if that's true." He backed away, his eyes filled with horror. I looked at his face and tried to contain my laughter. He was pressed against the wall, surprise and terror inflicted on his face, it was so funny I had to laugh.

"Don't scare me like that...." He pouted and I laughed again. After I calmed down, I told him,

"I'm fine, really. Go do stuff in Percy's room or something." He blushed.

"My crush on him was over nearly 2 years ago!" He protested and I smiled as I continued designing the locket and the chain. He sat down on a chair nearby my desk and said,

"I wanna hang out with you. And maybe catch you if you suddenly fall asleep." He didn't know about the nightmares. No one did except Hades. But I won't trust everything into 1 person. I already gave Nico what no one else had at this time. My trust.

"Nico, just leave...." I complained. He shook his head.

"I wanna stay." I sighed and gave in. I got wrote down types of jewels and metals, a small smile appearing on my face just as I wrote the word Vitalis Crystal. The screams of the tortured souls in the Fields of Punishment screamed at me, begging for me to set them free when Hades took me. But I knew better. They were there for a reason. I was only there to provoke Poseidon. Dad. He was the reason I suffered. Because he threatened Hades by destroying his realm. And because of that, I got the punishment. I'm gonna give him a heck of a bitchslap. As I used my gravity to bend the metal, Nico asked me,

"Do you actually believed the Furies?" I replied,

"They showed me the truth. The horrible, terrifying truth." I finished braiding the metal into a chain long enough to hang around a neck. Nico sighed.

"It was only horrifying because it wasn't the truth. How could Ashley or Martin ever betray you? They barely survived during your death! You're the reason Leolana lasted! And don't me started on Anthony!" I dropped the chain and stood up.

"Ok, you need to get out of here-" I growled, but he cut me off.

"No, you listen here, young lady! Leo and Alana were so goddam upset when you died. Leo didn't eat or drink for days. Anthony cried every night ever since you died. The Authors could never use the Author Gear without getting upset. All Ashley did was look at photo's of you and cry. But Martin was the worst. He wouldn't come out of his room willingly, unless he went to your grave. He would stay in his room for days, curled up in his bed, crying himself to sleep. He had to be charmspeaked to eat or drink, and when people brought you up in front of him he'll scream things and shout curses to Hades and the Fates, then blame himself for your death, and he'll try to kill himself for something he didn't do!" Nico was fuming, his face was red and tears were welled up in his eyes. I waited for him to continue, and he did.

"YOU THINK EVERYONE JUST CELEBRATED WHEN YOU DIED, DID YOU?!?! WELL, GET YOUR FUCKING HEAD OUT OF TARTARUS'S ASS AND PUT IT IN THE REAL WORLD. IF THERE IS ONE THING YOU ARE NOW, IT'S A LITTLE HEARTLESS, SELFISH MONSTER WHO BELIEVES STUPID, LIES WHICH AREN'T EVEN LOGICAL!!" I breathed in and out, not wanting to lose my patience on him. He was trying to make me forgive them. But he doesn't understand. It's hard to forgive and forget in one second, not to forgot the images, the torture, everything. He doesn't understand what is it like to be reminded of the very thing that traumatized you every time you closed your eyes. He only went to Tartarus, and saw it as the version a demigod mind can handle. Compared to what I experienced, it was easier than the alphabet.

"Nico. Out. Now. Please, before I lose my patience." He retorted,

"Then lose it!! I don't care!! Honestly, I give zero fu-" I snapped my fingers and he crumpled to the floor, asleep. I used my gravity to carry Nico onto my bed. I'm gonna teleport him to his cabin later, after I was done with this locket. As I weaved the metal, blurry thoughts swarmed my mind. He didn't even tremble when I died, did he? Nico must be high as shit.

Ally: I feel so bad

JBV: I would too if I did that

Ally: Grav slap me

JBV: I'll grav slap Series Ally, not you

Series Ally: ...

JBV: *grav slaps Series Ally*

Igor's POV

Martin is such an idiot. If there was one t thing he is, it's a goddam idiot. I wanna bash his brains out. He selfharmed with VITALIS CRYSTAL, out of all metals.

"You didn't have to frickin self harm. And with Vitalis Crystal!! ARE YOU INSANE?!" I yelled after I scolded him. He just looked at me and said,

"No." I shouted in frustration and kicked a chair, causing it to shatter against the pearl white, cold walls.

"THEN WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!?!" I yelled, furious, tired and fed up.

"About Ally, and how she hates me. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to my room." He got off the bed and started walking to the door when I stopped him.

"Oh Hades no! Vitalis Crystal wounds require rest to heal, and you have one big cut there, that you made yourself." I emphasized on the last 3 words. He went back to the bed and started using his phone without a word, a saddened expression on his face. He had that expression ever since the day after Ally died. I didn't have to say it. One day of Ally's death and I knew it.

Leo S: #WhenThingsAreTooObvious

Ally: Don't u notice that Leo's the top gossiper among us XD

Alana: I can keep up with the world XD

Leo S: :D

Eli: Leo! Only girls do that!

Leo S: It could help against Aqua

But he still had a chance to make things right. A small one, but it's there. He just won't take it. I know a part of Ally still likes Martin as a friend, he just needs that part to connect to Ally. Frustrated, I left the infirmary and went to the river. I got my phone and turned it towards the water. It made a small rainbow. I took a dramacha out of my pocket and tossed it in the rainbow, saying the prayer.

"O' goddess, please accept my offering. Lord Apollo, at Mount Olympus." He showed on the screen, singing. He saw me and smiled. His bright teeth nearly blinded me.

"Ah, Igor! You ok, son?" I replied,

"No, my lord. Martin selfharmed himself today. With Vitalis Crystal." He gasped.

"WHAT?! Vitalis Crystal?!" He shouted. I responded,

"Yes, Lord Apollo." He worriedly asked,

"Call me Apollo or dad, but is Martin ok?! I have godly stuff to do in a moment, I'll come and see Martin after I'm done. Meet me in you cabin." He waved his hand throuh the mist, ending the IM.

Nico's POV

I woke up on my bed in my cabin and saw Frank and Hazel on their phones. Frank was teaching Hazel about social media and the correct emoji to use at a certain situation. I sat up and rubbe the sleepiness out of my eyes.

"Ok, you use the one with a happy face and tears when someone texts you something funny, and use the sunglasses one when-" Hazel cut him off by a hand when she saw me.

"Nico! Are you ok?" She asked. I replied,

"Yeah, but how did I get here, I just remember that I was arguing with Ally and then she snapped her fin-" I facepalmed. She slept me. Eff it. Hazel questioned,

"She slept you, right?" I nodded and asked,

"Were you here when I somehow got in?" She responded,

"Yeah. Ally knocked and I opened the door. She was standing there, you floating behind her. She gave me a quick explanation, a short apology, and I let her in before any fuss could erupt. Then she just put you on the bed and teleported away." Wait, she actually TALKED to Hazel?!

"Was she rude to you in any way?" I asked in alarm. She replied,

"No, she just looked like she was in a hurry." I smiled. It was a improvement, although a slight one. She trusted Hazel a bit. It was closer to the whole squad.

"I think she trusts you a bit, Hazel. It's closer to the full squad." I beamed. She smiled and Frank asked,

"Nico, are you sure? If she doesn't trust us, how can we make sure we're safe? She might kill us in our sleep or in battle." I reassured him,

"She won't, she talks to people if she trusts them unless it's negative. And I'll make sure she won't hurt any of you." He inquired,

"How?" I joked,

"I'm tying her up when she sleeps." We three laughed and had a good chat before Frank went back to his cabin and Hazel went to hang out with Annabeth and Piper. I texted Ally.

Ally: Bold is me and italics is Nico

Astra: Ok

Gtg work

She went offline after that. I frowned and called Anthony. It started ringing and the song GDFR came on. I hummed a littke of it before he picked up.

"Hello? Nico?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's me. Nice ringtone BTW."

"That song's my 2nd bae. Now what chu want?"

"Ally trusts Hazel a bit."

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?" His voice was so dam loud, I could hear him from here. And he was at the river. I told him,

"Dude! Don't shout so loud! I can hear you without using my phone!"

"Do I sound like I care?! HOW DOES ALLY TRUST HAZEL AND YOU, BUT NOT LEO AND ASHLEY?!?"

"STAPH SHOUTING AND I'LL FRICKIN TELL YOU!!"

"Ok. I'm coming to your cabin." He hung up and less than 10 nanoseconds later he barged into my cabin.

"How did she do it?!" He growled. I closed the door and told him,

"I got tired and fell asleep in Ally's room, so she teleported me here and told Hazel what happened and apologized before she teleorted away." He glared at me, fury in his sapphire blue eyes.

"Are the Hades children working sone kind of hypnotic magic so that she'll trust only Hades kids? Hades is her commander after all." He asked as he gritted his teeth, fists clenced on either side of him. I hastily responded,

"No! I swear on my life, I'm not and I don't know how to use magic, and I have never attempted to! And I'm not gonna attempt it!" He took in a few deep breaths and the anger flooded out of his face.

"Ok. I believe you. I'm sorry for losing my temper." I replied,

"It's ok, I know it's hard being an older brother, especially an older brother of Ally." He sighed.

"Yeah, especially at this time." Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered the call.

"Hello? Luna? What is it? WHAT?!? IS HE INSANE?! Is he out of there?! Ally is gonna kill him! ASHLEY'S STILL IN THERE?! I'M COMING." He hung up and told me,

"Go to Ally's room and calm her down! I'll be close by!!" Using my powers, we teleported into Ally's room. Just as a electric blue dagger flew to the back of Ashley's head. I catched it and tackled Ashley before Ally's other dagger hit her heart.

"Ally, calm down!! What's wrong?!" Nico asked. She shouted in reply,

"MARTIN TELEPORTED INTO MY ROOM, THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG!!" Ashley and Anthony tried to sleep her, but Ally flicked her index finger and they were attached to the ceiling, not able to move.

"ALLY!! Put them down!!" She included her index finger in her fist. Ashley and Anthony dropped to the floor, slightly dazed but fine. She angrily shouted,

I'M NEVER FORGIVING HIM AFTER THIS, NEVER!! I SWEAR ON THE RIVER STYX!!"

Leo S: O.O

Leo S: *hides behind a shield and a forcefield* I'm scared
