A/N: I got an idea after I finished the Heroes of Olympus series. If you haven't read Blood of Olympus, don't read! It will be a freaking HUUGE spoiler. For those who HAVE read that book..

Well.

SPOILER ALERT:

You read how Leo 'died'? What would have happened if Leo came back to Ogygia and found Calypso's dead body? What if she had actually been MORTAL instead of Atlas' daughter?

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or HoO!

LEO

All I felt was pain. Total, utter pain. I felt like someone had taken my innards and boiled them. I felt like every single part of my body had been roasted over a hot, deadly fire.

And my harm hurt. Ow! Shit!

And then I collided with something soft and sandy.

"Oww!" the very unmanly shriek as I landed right on my burnt skin, right on my face. Ow ow ow ow!

Ugh.

I tried to get to my feet, and when I did, I made this weird noise like I was dying all over again. Trust me that's not a nice experience. I felt around, very nearly slapping the air with my hands.

Okayy..

Why couldn't I see? Shit! I couldn't see! Good Hephaestus I can't- Oh.

I had opened my eyes, and naturally, I felt my face heat up. Now.. where was I?

I glanced around quickly. The.. island? I was on was very beautiful. Almost so beautiful to the point I almost recognized it. I looked towards the gardens, and felt myself blanch when I saw the familiar silvery plant that I knew was Ogygia's signature flower. Shit!

Again?

Heaving a shaky breath, I glanced towards Festus. The golden metal dragon glanced my way with a creak of his jaw. His head whipped to the side, one of his spinning red eyes pinn

ed on me. Then his head cocked, as if asking, Why aren't you dead?

I snorted slightly, before glancing down at my burnt red arms.

Then I remembered.. Calypso! Oh Gods Calypso!

I started to run towards the white house she lived in, a kind of dread filling me. The kind of dread that I knew belonged to something. I just couldn't pinpoint it. Was she okay? She wasn't hurt, was she?! She was only an immortal demi-god!(1) Like me! Only with a curse. She could only hurt herself if.. Oh gods, she wouldn't?!

I slammed open the white house's door.

"CALYPSO!" I shouted, cupping my hands around my mouth. Where was she? Where was she? Please don't let her be- Oh god no! I spotted her body near the kitchen, laying on the ground. "Calypso!" I yelled, falling to my knees as I came to her body. "Calypso?" Oh gods.. No no no.. Please don't let her be.. Please.. Please..

"No!" A dry sob wracked my body. "No!" Fast and furious, tears blurred my vision. No! Gods dammit, no! "Calypso!" her name ripped out of my mouth in an agonized wail. Pure, unadulterated grief filled me, spreading through me. "Nooo!" I picked her body up, numbly watching as a knife slipped from her too white, too gray fingers. Cradling Calypso's body to my chest, I saw tears drip rapidly on her pale, heart-shaped face. Her eyes were closed. Her hair, a lovely caramel color, spilled down my left arm.

I felt numb. Oh so numb. "Calypso, wake up!" I sobbed as I cradled her body. "Please, please wake up!" Why? Why?!

Horrible truth completely blanked my mind as I saw the red spot in the center of her chest. Sh-she promised! She promised!

"Why?!" I sobbed out loud, it coming out as a keening cry. "Why?!" The only girl I really, truly loved! "Gods dammit!" I fisted my hair out of despair. In my minds eye, I watched numbly as I fell to the ground. Why? She was all... I had.. left!

"Leo.."

I felt a hand on my left shoulder. Flinching at the sharp, horrible pain, I whirled around and spotted the entire council behind me. I felt something inside me break at the sight of them. Artemis was watching from the side, her expression neutral. Her eyes blazed though like the yellowy moon. Apollo, standing beside her, also had an unreadable look on his face. It was Hermes though that made me collapse.

His blue eyes were so full of pain that it tore at my soul. Hephaestus, my father in his all ugly glory, glanced at me neutrally as well.

"W-w-why?!" I suddenly yelled, my body shivering with heavy sobs. Oh gods it hurt oh why why why?! "This is all! Your! Fault!" I felt the words tear from my throat in an accusing scream. "Why couldn't you release her from her prison?! Why?! She was only an immortal demi-god!" I glared at Artemis now, feeling raw fury course through me. This was all their damn faults! "And you!" I stepped towards her angrily, but I felt someone hold me back. "You were the one that blessed her! You were the one that cursed her with this horrible place!"

And suddenly flames were all I could see as I once more lunged for the Moon Goddess. I felt an angry snarl tear from my chest. I could feel flames arcing over my body, arcing into flaming maelstroms of fury. I could feel the fire growing higher, leaping off my body. Then suddenly, in mid lunge and break from someone's arms, a body grabbed my arms and swung me into one of the walls.

"I hate you!" the words ripped from me furiously. "You- you-" Suddenly my mind totally blanked. The gods, including the Big Three, looked slightly afraid. Zeus had an unreadable expression on his face, but everyone else looked ashamed. Except for Apollo and Artemis. They had totally blank faces as well. I felt something shatter in me, crumble and simply just.. go away.

And then my eyes blurred. Embarrassed to be crying in front of my father's relatives, I wiped at my face furiously. A wince swept over my face when I felt pain erupt along my hand and face. I forgot that I was totally burnt. It was like I had gotten majorly sunburnt.

A giggle forced its way out of my chest. Then suddenly I was absolutely hysterical. I was laughing, and I had no idea why I was laughing. Why was I laughing? Why did it sound so.. hollow? Hysterical? Someone wrapped their arms around me and the cackles that erupted from me slowly quieted.

Then I was practically bawling my face off, my face pressed into the person's shoulders. A grief poured from me like nothing else, making me cry harder and my chest hurt terribly. It felt like I was alone again. It felt like I had no one to understand me left. It felt like.. like I was missing something from my soul. An aching loneliness tore through my chest and I could do nothing but cry even more.

"W-w-why?!" I eventually inquired in a hiccuping sort of voice. My face was pressed against that person's shoulder, and all I could see was a black jacket. "W-w-why did sh-she h-have t-t-t-to d-die?!"

No response. Then, "It's gonna be okay, Leo." It was Aphrodite, and her voice was full of pain. "You're going to be okay."

And suddenly, I burst into tears again. Oh gods. Oh gods. It hurt. Oh my gods it hurt.
