As I was running, I suddenly froze. No. Not a flashback.
But it was.
--------------------
I was new to camp.
I was walking around. Noone talked to me. Just stared. Noone knew me.
Then, while I was walking through camp, Leo walked up.
"Sup?" he asked.
I just looked down. Noone had ever talked to me here before.
He slung his arm around my shoulder.
"I heard you're new. I can show you around, if you want...." he had said.
I had blushed, and nodded.
He had shown me around, urging me to talk about myself. I finally gave in.
Since then, we had become best friends. Then...more than best friends.
It had been great. Then he had left.
--------------------
I blinked back tears. I remembered the nights we would watch a movie together. He would lay next to me, arm protectively around my waist. He really loved Lord Of The Rings.
I looked at the arena. He was in there.
I continued running.
Please, Leo, PLEASE be okay.

Will's POV:
We weren't getting any worse, at least. We had tracked Kirsten to the city. Then across, to the woods. Now, we were following the tracks she had left on the ground. Except there were three sets of tracks. We thought one was Leo's, one was Kirsten's, and the last ones...we didn't know.
Jason was taking it the worst.
"Where is she?" he said, raking his hands through his hair. He had done that so many times that his hair was a mess.
"I don't know." Annabeth said worriedly.
Percy was taking it bad too. We had gotten an iris message from Tyson that she had ran away from him.
"Why would she run away?" he asked.
Annabeth sighed.
"Once again, I don't know."
"But why-"
"I don't know!"
It was frustrating.
We WILL find you, Kirsten.
-------------------------------
Sorry.
