Everyone was huddled around the bloody puddle on the floor which was Leo. Piper and Hazel were crying while everyone else were trying to put pressure on the stub which is now his hand and get medical supplies. "This would be a great time for Will to be here." Says Nico, his hands covered in blood.
Reyna ripped off a piece of her toga and was wrapping it around Leo's hand stub. "Someone help me carry him inside!" She shouted. I walked over and reached out to pick up Leo. Reyna pushed me back and shouted at me, "Don't you think you've done enough? Huh? What the hell were you thinking? We were trying to help you and you cut off Leo's hand! Why?" She shoves me again and now i am at the edge of the boat.
I shout back, my voice cracking. "Alkyls had me under a spell! She disguised you guys as smoke demons! I didn't know it was you guys!" Jason walks over to me. He will understand. But just as i feel relieved that Jason is here, i am over the railing of the boat, my jaw hurting and i feel a sharp pain on my left cheek. I guess he won't understand. How am i ever going to explain how i just cut off Leo's hand? A wave of guilt washes over me, even though its not my fault. My hate for Alkyls grows each and every second. She is literally destroying my life.
  I get back on the boat and the only person out here is Calypso. Why is she out here when her boyfriend is handless inside? Well, half handless.
  "What are you doing out here?" I ask Calypso, who has a poker face, revealing no feelings what-so-ever.
  "I saw her too." She says. What?
  "Huh? Wait, you saw Alkyls?" I ask.
   "Yes. I saw everything. She can't charm a goddess, remember, Water Boy?" She mocks.
   "Oh." I say, relieved that someone here believes me. "Thank you, but don't call me that." A sad smile crosses her face.
   "We should go back inside in a few minutes, once all the chaos is over. I used some of my healing magic on his arm so he should be fine. He shouldn't feel any pain, just numb. How are you doing?" She asks, like her boyfriend's hand wasn't just detached from it's body two minutes ago.
  "H-How am i?" I ask.
   "Yes. Did Alkyls do anything to you?"
   "I mean she did. But its fine. I am all right." There is a silent pause before i say. "Lets go check on Leo. We can explain everything inside.

~*~

  "...And Alkyls had a charm on Percy. He mistook Leo for a smoke demon. It was all Alkyls doing." Calypso explained to the group, who was all sitting at the dinning room, dried blood all over their hands and clothes.
   Everyone in the room had their eyes on me. Flashes of guilt, sorrow, and concern was fixed on everyone's faces. The silence was dreadful, thankfully, Jason broke it. "Thats so... bizarre. Percy, i am really sorry i hit you. I didn't know. I should've known you would never do anything to us on purpose."
  "It's fine. I deserved it out of all honesty. I feel terrible about the whole thing." I say, genuinely meaning it.
  "You shouldn't" said Hazel, with eyes burning red from crying. "It wasn't you who caused this. It was Alkyls. I'm just really thankful that both you and Leo are okay."
   "Me too." I say.

Leo's POV
  "Son of a screwdriver..." I mumble. I had the weirdest dream last night. Percy was talking to himself so I was like "Percy chill bro." and then he goes crazy and cuts off my hand. Strange. I get out of bed and fall back into it. As soon as i stood up i regretted it. My vision went white, my ears started ringing, and everything around me was spinning. I wait a few minutes before standing up slowly.
   My head is pounding as i walk into the hall wearing my boxers and a gray tee. My hand was strangely stinging, like i slept on it wrong or something. I walk into the bathroom and jump at my reflection. My body, face, and shirt is covered in what looks like...blood? I look down at my body and almost faint at what i see.
   When they say dreams do come true, i can tell you from experience, they weren't kidding. What use to be my hand was now replaced by a stump covered in bloody cloth and medical tape. My brain was panicking. How could this happen to me? Was it Hera? Alkyls? The more i thought about it the more frantic i became. How is a son of Hephaestus ever going to build things again with just one hand? What else am i good for if i can't build? My body gave out and i collapsed into the bathroom sink.
