Hi guys. First off, this story contains major House of Hades and hero of Olympus spoilers. So I suggest you don't read this until you've read that. I've noticed that no one wrote many, if any, stories of Giga's offer to Calypso. I just thought that I would because I wondered what if Giga wanted to kill Leo so she wouldn't have to worry about him. Any way I DON'T own Percy Jackson or the Hero's of Olympus. All rights belong to Rick Riordan.
She could hardly believe what Giga was telling her. Calypso, for a brief second, pondered if she could live with killing one man just so she could be granted another. Many would call her foolish for turning her nose up at receiving the one and only Percy Jackson. It wasn't a question, her brave one would never forgive her if she took the life of one of his friends just so she could have him. Calypso was going to tell her grandmother where her offer could go when Giga began talking again.
"How about I give you, a trial run?" The earth goddess offered. "You can have three days with Percy Jackson before you make your decision."
"But..." Calypso was about to refuse, but Giga cut her off.
"Nonsense, you may have those three days, but then you must make your decision."
Calypso casted a glance over to Leo. His normally tan skin was pale, he looked as if he shrunk in size which was saying a lot considering how small he already was. Even with his clothes covered in oil and grease there was still something she found endearing about him. She knew he was afraid, she would be to if she were in the same position.
"I know you want your revenge on Percy Jackson, for leaving you all alone." Giga continued. "You may punish him, if it'd make you feel better."
Leo made a sound with his throat. Calypso didn't know if the boy was sickened by the idea or his situation. One thing she did know, however, was that Percy Jackson was needed by too many for her to be selfish and keep him. No matter how much she wanted to. At the moment though it didn't seem like Giga was giving her much of a choice. Giga seemed to believe bringing Percy around would change Calypso's mind.
Calypso thought about when she had first seen the son of the sea god's eyes. They were so beautiful that she never wanted to look away. The face that framed them only ensnared her heart even more. She didn't know weather it was the curse of her own free will that had made her fall for him. Either way her heart still ached at the thought of him.
"I can not harm him or Leo." Calypso said mutely. "He'd never love me. Not if I force him."
"I'm afraid you have no choice." Giga snarled.
The wind around the island became fierce. Waves crashed on the shore and beautiful island trees fell from the force. Calypso fought to stay balanced. She didn't want this to happen, but she had no control over the seas, the wind, the sky, or for that matter, Giga.
"Woe, what's happening to me?" Leo demanded. To Calypso's horror her new found friend was fading.
"No." She cried as she reached out for him. Just as her fingers brushed his arm he vanished. "LEO!"
Calypso stumbled off her feet and into the white soft sand. Tears streamed down her face. How could she have let this happen? Her fist slammed to the ground as she cursed her grandmother for taking him. She wished she was more of a fighter, like her sisters. All she had were invisible servants, fine china, and all the flowers she wanted to throw.
"What have you done with him?" Calypso demanded. Sand stuck to her cheeks and hands. "Bring him back!"
"He is fine. Unless you choose otherwise." Giga assured her. "Now to raise Percy Jackson from Tartarus."
Just down the beach from her the sand began swirling like a white whirlpool. The ground in the center began to disappear as a hole formed. It grew bigger and bigger until it pulled one of the fallen trees in. Calypso couldn't believe it. The earth goddess was really going to bring Percy to her. A small part of her, a part that she loathed, was hopeful to see him again.
"Percy..." Calypso whispered as she eyed the hole.
Oh no! What happened to Leo!? How will Calypso react when she sees Percy again? Is she going to stay on the path of good or will she give in to her desire for love.
