LEO
This goes here. Just attach this to here. Now where did I put that screw driver? Damn it! Where's the screw?!
Leo bustled franticaly, searching for his tool belt. Usually, it was near by, except today it seemed it was missing. Leo kept his hand on the object, holding the pieces together. What was he to do? No one around and he had to find his tool belt, but he couldn't just let the small comtraption just fall apart.
There! Leo let out a breath, relieved he hadn't lost his belt. The only problem was, it was two feet away. Leo edged inch by inch it closer, willing his arms a little farther. It was right there! Just millimeters from his finger tips.
His foot slipped, and he toppled over. Metal pieces clanged on the floor, the glass piece shattering. Leo stared at the ground, stared at his broken device. Anger bubbled in his stomach, his eyes began to glow with fire.
He shot to his feet, bringing his firery fist under his work table and tossing it to the side. Tears slid slowly down his cheeks. Would he ever find her? Behind the lids of his teary eyes, images of Calypso flashed by. He could no longer remember the color of her eyes, he could no longer imagine her hair's silky touch.
Leo breathed slowly, picking up a rag and wiping his grimy hands. It was past dinner time. His cabin mates were sure to be waiting for him.
That night, screams of terror haunted him. Beads of sweat caked his forehead, and his chest burn. For the first time ever, he truly felt like he was burning to ashes.
Leo gasped, sitting up and stumbling out of bed to the bathroom. Leo stared at his reflection, not believing the burning sensation in his chest. I swear on the River Styx. He said that. River Styx was always serious with oaths. Was this his death? To live in the fire, you must die by the fire?
Calypso. I will find you. I will. I swear to it.
CALYPSO
Water rushed between her toes. Stars gleamed against the black sky. Calypso closed her eyes, relishing the ocean breeze.
"He will never return to you." she said to herself, wiping a stray tear away. "No man finds your island twice."
Calypso steadily got to her feet, wiping wet sand from her over-alls. She gripped her fist, and tilted her head up. She was trying to be strong, for all it was worth. But who was she kidding? She once again fell in love with a hero.
But she will do just as she did, after a hero left her stranded, never returning. She will pushed all memories of him away, build a new tree house, maybe upgrade any old one's. She will keep herself busy, because gods forbid she wouldn't be a couch potatoe. No. She had to keep her island tidy, clean, and beautiful.
It was short, but it was a start. And this will be a short story. And I done some serious thinking. Calypso's curse was she fell in love with the heroes that she couldn't have. Which means Leo is either already a hero, or he will become the two camps' hero. And, an oath to keep with a final breath; Leo, in the process of saving the world dies, and all the gods allow him to spend eternity on Calypso's island. Can someone remind me what the island was called, and his dragon? I havent read the books in a while. I've actually been reading the Divergent series. I'm on the last book...
Cherios!
