RECAP

Clarisse can't die, I won't let her. 

I felt the shadows elope around my body calling me. I felt them trying to comfort me and I heard them whisper.

Think of camp half-blood infirmary.

I thought of the infirmary I had been in so many times and felt a rush of wind and a huge amount of speed. It felt like I was on an adrenaline rush and soon it came to a dead stop. I felt so tired and my eyes started to close but I looked around and saw we were in Camp Half-Bloods infirmary.

If I wasn't so tired I wound probably freak out but I felt so exhausted and all too soon I fell into the shadows.

Chapter 15

Interruptions and feelings and secrets unravel?

Nico’s POV 

I picked up the fire in my hands and split them up. I made flame each turn a different color and was intensely focused.

‘Nico!’ I head Percy yelled opening my door. I dropped the flames and sighed angrily. I was trying to increase the potential of my abilities.

‘What,’ I said more coldly than I intended to but he didn’t seem to notice.

‘Clarisse and Leah are in the infirmary-.’ He said but I was already out of the cabin before he could finish his sentence. Why does Leah always manage to end up back in the infirmary all the time?

I walked into the infirmary and Annabeth was helping Clarissa. I saw Leah lying on the bed extremely pale.

‘Who brought them here?’ I asked Annabeth.

‘I don’t know. No one saw them enter camp or heard a fight go on. I came into the infirmary to get something and I saw them here lying down on the floor. Clarisse bleeding a lot from her head and arm and Leah pale as ever.’ She said wrapping Clarisse’s head in gauze. I tucked a piece of Leah’s hair behind her ear and touched her cheek. Her cheek felt cold and I frowned.

‘You're in love with her.’ Annabeth whispered even though no one else was inside the room besides two girls that were out cold.

‘What?’ I asked surprised she would say something like that.

‘I can see it the way you look at her and the way you act around her.’ She stated simply. I knew I liked her but do I love Leah? I didn’t say anything and Annabeth seemed pleased. I was too caught up in my thoughts though. Am I in love with Leah?

I looked at Leah and saw her face was pale and she was sweating. She had a pained expression and her breath became shallow like if she was falling.  I couldn’t move though.

‘Annabeth!’ I yelled and she ran to me and she looked scared when she saw Leah. Leah started to stir and her eyes opened wide. She looked scared like she didn’t know where she was.

She started speaking so fast and her eyes were gray. I heard Annabeth gasp and she ran somewhere but I couldn’t yell at her like I wanted to. I wanted to yell at Annabeth for leaving and not helping figure out what to do but I couldn’t take my eyes off of Leah.

She looked so panicked I scared me a little. I grabbed her and held her close. She struggled mumbling someone named Kathalina and Evianna. I rocked her back and forth in my arms and the mumbling slowed down and got softer.

Her breath evened and I felt her calm down. I kissed her head and rocked her back and forth.

‘Nico?’ I froze and turned her slowly to me and she was awake. Instead of shying away from her, for being caught kissing her head, I looked into her once gray eyes that were now back into the green  eyes I now see as my escape in the world.

I leaned in.

Annabeth’s POV

‘Annabeth!’ Nico yelled sounding scared and I ran over to him knowing that wasn’t a good sign. I looked at Leah and gasped. She looked deathly pale and her hair was slightly damp with sweat.

I didn’t know what to do so I did the next best thing, run and get Chiron. I ran and reached the Big House. Chiron and Mr. D. we’re talking and I stormed into the room. Chiron looked worried and Mr. D. looked pissed but I didn’t care.

‘Leah needs help. Now.’ I said and ran out not waiting for their response. I went back to the infirmary and swung the door open. What I didn’t expect to see was Nico about to kiss Leah. Leah looked embarrassed and Nico glared at me. I turned red.

‘Bad timing huh?’ I said walking towards Leah and Nico let go of Leah and got up and stalked off. Leah was red and I grinned at her, making her blush even brighter.

‘Are you okay?’ I asked then the door busted open.

‘Leah, are you okay?’ Chiron asked followed by Mr. D.

‘I don’t know.’ She said looking at me.

‘I was dreaming and-‘ she paused and I looked at Mr. D. and Chiron staring at her intently listening.

‘I don’t remember. I’m sorry for worrying you but I’m really tired.’ She said drooping her eyelids. I knew she was lying but the question is why. Chiron nodded in understanding and Mr. D left as well.

I walked to her bed.

‘I know your lying about the dream so why don’t you tell me what happened,’ I said while sitting on a chair.

‘You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.’ She mumbled.

‘Try me,’ I said and she sighed and began telling me her story.

(I know I’m jumping a lot but this is an important POV but some of you may not remember this so I’m putting a small recap for him.)

How could Leah be at two places at once or have different eye colors? Why a feather? Something's going on here and I want to know what that is. I know she doesn't have a twin sister or else she would've told me while we were going out.

I took out my cell phone.

'Come on, come on pick up already.' I mumbled. Finally I heard my servant's voice. What? I'm rich and I have a servant, so what.

'I have a task I need you to do for me.' I said tapping my foot on the floor.

'Yes Mr. Shawn?'

'I need you to do a very detailed search on my ex-girlfriend, Leah Ashwood. Call me right away if you find anything strange or interesting. That is all.' I said before closing my phone and staring up into the sky. For some reason it felt like I was being watched but by who?

I felt someone next to me and looked that way.

******************************************************

It was Leah. She walked up to me and I took a good look at her. She was wearing a white dress and her skin seemed a little bit pale. She had blue eyes and her black hair looked off like it didn’t belong to her, however weird that sounds. I touched her hair and she looked towards the woods then took off running. I looked at my hand and felt it wet with black ink.

Hair dye. Leah’s hair is naturally black so this can’t be her. I felt my phone vibrate and I picked it up.

‘Hello?’ I asked and looked at the phone seeing it was my butler’s number.

‘Sir, I have the report and you’ll never believe what I’ve found out.’ He said gasping for breath.

‘What?’ I said getting curious.

‘Sir, it may be best if you come home to see her files.’ He said and I sighed.

‘I’ll be right there.’ I said snapping my phone shut and looking where Leah’s imposter ran. Leah it’s time for me to see what you’ve been hiding for years now.

I walked down the hill and started walking I eventually called a cab and made it to my house. I knocked on the door and my butler opened the door. We walked to the study room and I sat down in my big office chair.

‘So what did you find out?’ I asked tapping my desk impatiently.

‘Her last name.’ he said and dumped a huge stack of papers on my desk. I picked up the papers and skimmed through them, though my dyslexia made it hard.

‘Her full name is Leah Anne Ashwood. She-’

‘Wait, you mean Ashwoods as in the rich and more powerful than me Ashwoods?’ I asked astounded. He nodded his head.

‘They were killed around seven years ago in a freak animal accident. It killed her parents, little sister, and her brothers were placed in a special care somewhere in another state.’ He said and I blocked him out for a bit.

That was the time we were dating. That’s why she didn’t talk about her family and why I never met them. I listened back to my butler.

‘It was really interesting, she forgot her own brothers from trauma and the biggest thing I found was she’s not really an Ashwood.’

‘What do you mean she’s not a real Ashwood? The only way for that was if-’ and that’s when it clicked. That’s why I never noticed and family resemblance between the people that were more rich and powerful with me.

‘She was adopted as well as her other siblings and what’s interesting is they all have one of the rarest blood type, AB -, but also they were never in an orphanage. There is no birth certificate of any of them. It’s like all of them were dropped on their door step and the parents adopted them without a care.’

‘What the heck is going on here?’ I asked getting confused. So that girl could be the twin sister she never knew?

I rubbed my temples and sighed. I looked at my butler but something seemed wrong. He smirked evilly at me and I stood up slowly.

 ‘Umm what are you doing?’ I asked getting out of my chair. His eyes started glowing and his teeth came out yellow and jagged. His nails became sharp and he started hissing.

‘Oh shi-’ I yelled as he lounged for my neck.
