MY version of the last few [additional] chapters of BoO, because that ending was not satisfying. If you haven't read the book, I recommend you exit out and finish it, first.
I'll be starting off with where it left off, and then write several additional chapters.
~Happy Reading!
LEO
Leo still couldn't believe he had been dead for who knows how long and brought back alive. Like, how often does that happen? It sure does beat usual near-death experience stories, because now he can tell them, oh, I actually was dead! You wouldn't believe it! I was dead then I came back to life! Isn't that awesome? It'd probably be his main party story for the rest of his life.
Leo was actually very worried on the inside. For one, his best friends think he's dead; and two, his best friends think he's dead. He knew they would be worried sick and probably grieving their hearts out. Or at least he hoped they were worrying. Being the seventh wheel, he wasn't sure how much they cared about him.
As he checked his GPS to navigate their destination, Festus creaked something about Calypso to Leo. Leo furrowed his eyebrows. "Festus, you can't ask me if she's hot. I mean, of course she is, but you're a metal dragon, you shouldn't be having thoughts like that." Festus creaked again, as if he were saying, why not? Leo advised him to seek some help.
The crystal began glowing, and the GPS he made whirred like there was no tomorrow. This was it, he was so close he could almost taste cider and stew. "Buddy! This is it! Start descending!" Leo was so excited, that he starting kicking his leg to get Festus's attention, despite the fact Festus already had it. Festus screeched as an okay!
The dragon nose-dove through the clouds, breaking through the puffs of white and flying closer and closer to the vast, blue sea. Just below their current position sat a small island of green with a visible beach lining the outside. Leo couldn't wipe the smile off his face. This time, this one time, he had one good thing in his life. His life has consisted of awful moments that even his new best friends could fix. That gaping hole in his heart was just desperate for love, and he couldn't fill it until Calypso came into the picture. She's so perfectly perfect, his insides started to warm up just thinking about her. And now that she was about three hundred feet below him? That just made him even more excited. Maybe it was his imperfections and her perfections that make them work so well.
"Buddy, I hate to ask this, but you mind going a little faster? The love of my life is waiting down there." Leo rose an eyebrow at his friend. Festus breathed some steam (literally), and flapped his wings harder to pick up the pace. Leo's cheeks grew sore from smiling so widely, and the wind blew his curls back out of his face. Then...he saw her. Standing on the beach with her white blouse and jeans, her beautiful, flowing amber hair pulled back into a neat hairstyle. She looked like a million drachmas.
Festus landed on the sandy beach gently, but because of an unknown broken leg, he fell over, causing Leo to face-plant on the sand. Leo got up groggily, spitting sand out his mouth and brushing it out his hair. That's when he noticed how un-decent he looked. His clothes were smoking and tattered, parts of his hair were probably smoking also and he was most likely covered in soot. "Jeez Louise..."
"You're late." Calypso stated promptly. She trudged over, her arms crossed over her chest and freckled nose scrunched up. Even when she was angry, Leo just couldn't take his eyes off her. Sure, she was scary, but it was a good scary. Leo merely chuckled, pushing himself up and tried not to fall down again.
"Sorry, Sunshine. Traffic was a pain."
"You better be sorry. And as for the clothes, they should not have gotten ruined. They're magical! That just can't happen!"
"You see, that's a long story. I was kind of in a war, and I turned into a flameball, and I was dead for a bit so I-" Calypso cut him off with a kiss. She couldn't wait any longer to do it again, even though it was rude to cut through his story. She honestly didn't want to really hear it anyway, but he was back and that's all she cared about. Leo's lips were so soft, she loved feeling them against hers. This time, Leo knew what to do. He wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her up. She popped her foot, and Leo gently placed her back on the ground. "In other words, hi."
"Hi."
"So, you ready to get off this island?"
Calypso smiled, lifting two hands in the air. "What makes you say that?" Two invisible airspirits lifted a suitcase into each of her hands. She brought her arms down, chuckling in amazement. She couldn't believe this was actually happening.
"What happens when an immortal girl steps off into the mortal world?"
"I don't know, so let's go find out. Where to first, Mr. Bad Boy Supreme?"
"Some place special, and I can fix my dragon there. May I take your bags?"
"Certainly."
Festus was already low enough for them to climb aboard, so Leo tried helping Calypso onto his back until she slapped his arm, claiming she could get up herself (which she could). Leo hopped on in front and Calypso sat behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist. Leo smiled, enjoying the physical contact. "Alright buddy, let's go! To Camp-Half-Blood!"
Festus spread his wings and remained surprisingly balanced, flapped them once, and they soared into the air heading home.
First chapter, done. Cannot wait to write the rest(:
Review this maybe? Thanks!
